TL, Earl of IVINCHILSE begged to call the attention of the ad.* to a report which was in circulation, relating to the death of ive individuals in this metropolis, through the want of the necessa ries of life. Ile wished to ask the noble duke at the head of his iNlap sty's government, whether he had any knowledge of the fact. dle understood that 2,210 persons, who came to look for employ. lent in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, were in a state of des itution. Was not this strong ground for Instituting an inquiry into * cause of distress throughout the country ? The Duke of WELLINGTON, in answer to the question put ty !he noble earl, observed that he had not heard one word on the AIN-et before that night. He understood that there were some pro ! de in distress on account of the state of the weather, but he had 'card nothing of persons dying through want. The Earl of WINCHILSEA observed that what he had stated shad been represented in the public press, as having been communi ?rued to Sir Richard Birnie at the police-office. The deaths had tken place in the parish of .Acton. The Marquis of CLANRICARE took that opportunity of ask 'g the noble duke if he had heard of distress prevailing in Ireland ? The Duke of WELLINGTON had heard that provisions were gh in some parts of Ireland, but he had heard of no dearth ofj tovisions. The Insolvent Debtors' Bill was read a third time, a clause pro by Lord Tenterden having been agreed to. TUE GALWAY RHANCHISEMENT HILL. The house having resolved itself into a cotnmitlos on the Galway ranchisement Hill, The Duke of WELLINGTON, in rising to propose an amend t to the Bill, read the preamble of the bill 4 Geo. I. by which tain privileges were conferred on Protestants residing in the town Galway, among which were, that every Protestant residing in town for seven years should be entitled to the freedom of the Aporation. The object of the above statute was to encourage Pro testants to reside in Galway. The present policy was to e :very person to carry on trade there. The present act went sway with the exclusive admission of Protestants into the corpora ', on the grounds of residence, which would nullify the charter. t charter had been given to the town in the reign of Charles 11. permitted the mayor and corporation to admit to the freedom / person whom they pleased. No doubt the 4th George I. was innovation on the charter, but it was done for a particular pur. c, and he believed that no more than 100 persons had ever ban iitted pursuant to it. If the 4th (leo. 1. was an innovation, and it was no longer expedient to promote the object of it, why not it altogether? If it should be now extended to all denomi. s, no less than 6,000 persons would be now admitted. If it exclusively a Protestant corporation, there might be room for Catholics to complain. He understo od that dare were 800 free. of that town, the majority of whom were Catholics. There as many freeholders, the majority of whom were Catholics; so it could not be considered a Protestant monopoly. The fact that if the present bill should pass, it would subvert the cor. Won altogether, for it would admit no less than 5,000 persons to freedom of that town. Under these circumstances, he submitted t the 4th George I. should he entirely repealed, as not consistent Ith the policy of the law of this country. The noble duke con. uded by moving an amendment to the effect of repealing the sta tte of 4th George i. Earl GREY, in rising to oppose the amendment, did not mean support the policy of the stat. 4 Geo. I. the principle of which y had been destroyed by the healing measure of last year.— . measure having passed, could any noble Peer in that house and say that a disqualification on religious grounds should be itinued la a particular town in the west of Ireland ? The noble then referred to the objections offered by the Duke of Welling. observing that the rights of the Corporation of Galway did not on the charter alluded to ; for it was a corporation by prescrip . antecedent to the granting of the charter. The noble Earl then tuned into a history of that corporation, stating the various modes acquiring rights to be admitted to the freedom of Galway enteie. ant to the year 1717, when the stat. of 4 Geo. I. passed, which gave 'rotcstants, who should have resided seven years in that town, not right which they bad not before of being admitted into the free. mof that town—but to be admitted without paying a fine of 20s. ;was required of others. In 1727, the guilds which formed part of that corporationeell into disuetude, as did also the F t . loos mode of admitting persons to the freedom. What he (Earl ly) now contended for was not an innovation, but a restoration of former customs of that corporation. The corporation of that itown had not petitioned against the bill ; on the contrary, the ma iority of the Common Council had petitioned in favour of this bill, which the noble duke had represented as subversive of the Corpora tor.. The five or six petitions that were presented against this bill, rue each signed by Mr. James Daly.—(cheers.) He (Earl Grey) 'as very much astonished to see the noble duke come down with ' the weight of government to oppose this bill.—(clean) A seer system of abuse had never been practised in any borough in this ; for it appeared that several hundreds of the peasantry been within the last few years admitted to the freedom of that town. And who were these peasantry ? why the tenants of James '-:cheers;) and the effect of the noble duke's amendment id be to promote that abuse :—(cheers ;) for this James Daly the patron of that borough. The noble earl then detailed the Ivarious abuses which had been practised in that Corporation for se. -eral years, with a view to promote political purposes. In 1792, ho Corporation admitted to the freedom a whole regiment, officers teed privates, in order to return a certain candidate. The object of its bill was to confer an equal right on Protestants and Catholics. ither than that the bill should pass with the proposed amendment, . would have the bill rejected altogether. If the 4th of Gee. L lwas repealed altogether it would leave the right of admission to the entirely in the power of one person ' • which so far from as r the rights of the Corporation, could only promote the abuse _.i right. After a few words from Lord lilawxnas, which were not audible low the bar. Viscount GODERICH supported the bill, as just and expe. ent, and regretted die course pursued by the noble duke. The Earl of WINCH ILSEA gave his most cordial and hearty upport to the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not see why any party cons!. leration should be mixed up with this measure. He approved of the irinciple of the bill • but after the fullest consideration, he was of pinion that it woul d be highly impolitic to pass that bill, unless in le amended form proposed by the noble duke. Ile admitted, as toted by the noble earl (Grey,) that this was a Corporation by reacription ; but he denied that they had any other charter, tcept that of Charles the Second, for all their previous charters been forfeited, on account of abuse ; so that the only ,ter which at present governed that Corporation, was that of narks the Second. He denied, as alleged by the Noble !Earl, that Protestants had not obtained any new rights, by statutes 4 Geo. 1 ; for at that period no person was admitted to the 'eedom of that town, except according to the mode prescribed by charter of Charles the Second. Whereas that Act gave Prot..- /us. who had resided seven years in that town, a right to be ad. lifted, whether the corporation thought proper or not to admit in. The effect of this bill would be to transfer the rights of that 'poration to a new description of persons. The population of it town exceeded 50,000 inhabitants, and this bill would confer freedom on no less than 5,000 of that number. The number of :oars at present is that town did not exceed 1.600. The object of the aii.,:.dinent of the noble duke, was to put Catholics and Prates. ints on the same footing. by repealing the act which conferred an :traordinary right on Protestants; whereby the admission to the adorn of that town, would be governed by the charter of Charles :he Second. The Duke of RICHMOND considered the proposed amendment a ira.a*ttre of disfranchisement, and on such grounds he should ipose it. lie looked on the disfranchisement of 40s. freeholders the most revolutionary and unconstitutional measure that had ever brought before that house, but he did not then imagine that wertunent should so soon endeavour to extend the principle of that urc. The 4us. treeholders had been disfranchised because they to vote against a Minister of the Crown. The present amend it was to disfranchise the Catholics of Galway, lest they should . support an adherent of 31inisters. He en:rested their Lordships oppose the anieralinent. Th e E a rl t ai* WICKLOW supported the amendment, as more insistent with t paity and justice than the bill In its present state. The Marquis of CLANK ICARDE never heard& more irrational station to any hill than was made to this. Some noble lords it as ar invasion of the rights of the corporation, but that _.)11 itself did not petition against it ; on the contrary, the ma. ity of the corporation, and the whole town of Galway were in fa jr of the big. He regretted that the noble Duke should pursue /illiberal a course ; it would only tend to keep up a notion of the ixistence of that disgusting partiality by which Ireland had been lverned for centuries. The 31arquis ot LAI%SDOWN supported the bill. He looked a the auk utitnent as an act of disfrarcbtsentert and spoliation. The thole system o representation in England might be overturned ou similar principle The Duke o' PUCK I NOll A NI felt deep regret in being bourti to rote agairst prnposttion ot the noble duke, but he felt deeper re. that 'hr noble duke should be the author of such an amend. it, as being the person to whom the coun , ry was indebted for the crag ot tlia great measure °Emancipation.

The effect of it would be, to place the inhabitants of that town in the same situation that they had been in antecedent to the passing of the 4th of Geo. I. Earl GREY denied that the inhabitants of Galway would be placed in the same situation as they would be in if the Act of 4th Geo. 1. had not passed at all. Earl DARNLEY supported the Bill. The Marquis of BUTE supported the amendment of the noble duke, as he thought it put the question on a fair footing. lle sup. ported the measure of relief, but he could not sac how the amend. ment was in violation of that measure.

RZYWIDIOX.....TLI4 was 4D action for damages, fur slanderous words, imputing an atrocious offence to the plaintiff, who is a respectable man. The jury had been sum. moned to assess damages, judgment having been allowed to go by default. - t. . . The defendant and a man named Spence, both of whom are car penters, were engaged at work In a building in which other men were also employed ; and they thought proper, in speaking of the plain tiff; to say that he was a person whose propensities rendered him unfit for the company of other individuals. The prejudice natu rally excited by this description. which was expressed in the gross. at terms, was calculated to do infinite mischief. The charge was made before several, and under such circumstances as rendered it impossible to by indictment for conspiracy, which was the course the plaint iff have much preferred. He sought no more damages than would place his character in its proper light, and be adapted to the pecuniary means of his calumniators, who certainly deserved no indulgence whatever, but who were not able to discharge pecuniary obligations of any great importance. Mr. POTTER, the Under Secondary, in addressing the Jury, re. presented the dangerous charseter of the slander, and stated, that the merest insinuation of the kind against a man was withering MS. culty got rid of. It appeared, however, that in this cam the plain.' tiff would be satisfied with damages proportioned to the means of the defendant. - - - The Jury Immediately assessed the damages at SOL lifoont v. Srzwczn.—.This was a case of similar description in fact, the same. Spencer and the defendant in the former ease re. presented the plaintiff in the terms above-mentioned, and the only mode of reparation left for the plaintiff was by action. It was not thought necessary in either case to employ counsel. The Jury assessed the damages at Twenty Pounds. male prisoner. Atter stopping there for some tune, he and his cum. pinion left, and after walking some distance together they separated. He then procteded homewards, where on reaching he missed tin ' 101. and two 51. bank notes, which he was certain he had in hi' possession on entering the brothel ; and be had not spoken to - other person, but the female who had accompanied him there the time he left the house until he missed his property. lie , toned back and made inquiries of the prisoners about his notes, , well as the name of the woman who was in his company ; hut though they were at least well acquainted with the latter, as the fe male particularly spoke in the most familiar manner to he, on then first entering the house, and appeared to be most intimate with her. they denied any knowledge of either. The prisoners refused to give any explanadoh of the business. and were remanded until Tuesday next.

The prisoner, when asked what he had to say, assured the gistrate that he had purchased the articles found on him from stranger whom he had met in the street a short time before. The Magistrate, Mr. Walker, told him that he would him for two months to the House of Correction, for baring property about him.

ROCHESTER REPRESENTATION.-011 Saturday, W.

The corpse was immediately conrefed to the Dispensary, where it awaits a Coroner's Inquest. UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS.—A gentleman writes to I thus :—" From the year 1791, until the year 1008, the Bank of England, publihrd,about once in three years, a list of theunelaimed dividends upon the different stocks under their controul. But iron 1808 to the present time only two such lists have been published. namely in 1815 and 1823. It will be in the recollection of man) of our readers, that 31r. Vansittart, while Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, appropriated to national purposes, part of the unclaimed dividends, to the amount of sonic millions. Whether such a pm. ceeding--adreif it was authorised by Act of Parliament—was jets. titled by any necessity, is a question that need not be hetc descantee upon. It is enough to say, that in this case the personal !trepan —and no doubt the only property, of many private individuals, Lid for a time at any rate, fall a prey to a necessitous adminlstra. tion. It is much to be desired that such an appropriation of private property, should be averted in all time coming : and how is this to be done ? Why, partly by the Bank of Engg. land faithfully and honestly discharging its trust to du holders of Stock, or their heirs and representatives. Man, thousands of pounds sterling is well known to lay in the repositorict of the Bank, unclaimed ; and many a poor man, now living—or rather starsing—has the best right to a great part of it. But he it kept in profound ignorance of his claims. No list of unclaimed di. vidends has been laid before the public since 1323—n0w nearly sere* years--and only two lists since 1608, a period of twenty-two years : If ever there was one document that had a better title to be pub. belied than another—once every three years at least--it is the last of unclaimed dividends. You have regularly enough list. and state. merits of all notes and coins in circuiatiort ; but no list whatever of the money, bottled up by the Bank, which ou!,lato be in simulation A peremptory demand, in one shape or another, ought to be made on this very important item of public interest and public duty ; ane l surely, it is not too much to expect that Mr. Hume, Mr. Davenport . Mr. Attwuod, Mr. Baring, or some other hon and public-spiritec 31ember of the House of Commons, would give a few hours of thti time and attention to the ir.vestigation of the subject, and urge the necessity—or at least the honesty—of publishing the list of stn. claimed d.vidends once In every three years. It is clear, at all events, that the Bank has little. or no right to swallow them up al together ; and it' there really be. as there unquestionably are, divi dentis that there can be no claimants tor. let them he applied to tea necessities of a starving and emigrating people, or some other patri otic purpose. You, and others, may speedily have occasion to re• vent to this very important matter in another shape. Various effort) have been made to bring the subject before the public; but hitherte without avail.

This was a petition presented on the behalf of the two daughters of the late General Stafford, praying that some proper person might be appointed to superintend their education, sod watch over the in. terests of the young ladies during the absence of their mother, who resided in France. General Stafford died in India, where he had amassed a large property. In 1819, by his will, he gave an annuity of 8001. to his wife, and leR the remainder of his property to his children, appoint. lug his wife their guardian. The young ladies till very lately re. aided with their mother, and their property became the subject of ad ministration in this Court. The mother finding her annuity insuf. &lent to maintain herself and children in that rank of life which, tlom the great property, they were entitled to fill, appealed to the Court for an allowance out of the funds; ri g l t 4 t a an C i ewas allowed. The mother, in consequence of some misu between her. self and the trustees, had retired to France, and it ad therefore become deanery to make the present application. The young ladies were at the present moment under the protection of their father's brother, who was under the necessity, very shortly, of leasing this country, and unless some person was appointed, they would be left entirely unprotected. Mr. BICIZRATETM, who appeared for the petitioners, stated, that the young ladies were In Court, should his Honour wish to have a conversation with them, for the purpose of ascertaining their views upon the subject. His Hormuz did not think that would be at all necessary. A reference must be made to the Master according to the prayer of the petition, and the 300 L a- ear allowed for the maintenance of the young ladles must be paid to the person whom the Muter should think proper to appoint.

The Avroaxex-Ozwitxm. said, their lordships would recollect that they had appointed this day for passing judgment upon these defendants, two of whom were then waiting. Lord TxrerzaDtx—There are only two more London new trials ; had we not better dispose of them first, Mr. Attorney ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL mentioned the ease now, to say, that his learned friend Mr. Hutchinson had an affidavit, stating that Fox, one of the defendants , was of a typhus fever, and that be had bled three times.2rather $ curious remedy, I should think, said the learned counsel. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. ADOLPHUS said be was counsel for the defendant Hodg. son, and if there wu a probability of the case going over to Michaelmas Term, he did hope the Court would allow him to be liberated on giving bail. Lord TinrEanzw—Why I think that is only a reasonable re. quest, but it must be good bail, vary good. The Arroawstr-Octrznat.—% e have tried every possible means in out power to give the other defendants notice to appear to receive judgment, but without suers's; they carefully evade us. Your Lordships will therefore think It necessary to stand over for some time. . . . . Mr. Alto Leans salted what sum would be required; he hoped the Court would not press hard upon the defendants ; at the same time he was aware of the necessity of their Lordships seeing that justice was not trifled with. Lord Tex-rem:sax said he considered the share that Hodgson took in the conspiracy in somewhat a more favourable light than of the others; the Court would therefore take his own recognisance of 2001. and two sureties of 1001. each. or four of 501. Sufficient 1 1 notice, however, must be given to the prosecutor. COURT OF, COMMON PLEAS, Joys 25. _ xotriet APPLICATIOX ! -NASII V. ROLLAND. Mr. Sergeant 'LIDDY said he had to make a rather novel appli cation to the Court. Re was instructed to move for a rule to show cause why a warrant of attorney given on an annuity deed should l not be set aside, on the ground that the deed showed usury on the face of it. The object of the application was to prevent the entering up of judgment. The alleged usury consisted in a covenant having been given for an annuity of 1201. for a consideration of 1,0001. the granter undertaking to insure the continuance of the said annuity during the lifetime of three nominees, and Author to insure the lives of the annuitants. Ile (the learned counsel) need scarcely remind the Court that the fundamental principle upon which all annuities were granted, he meant hazard, was in tbe present instance entirely done away with, inasmuch as the grantor had not only given his own personal security, but also the collateral 'emiry of a third party—the Insurance Office ; so that it was obvious the principal (1,0001.) was completely removed from any thing like risk. The covenants furnished as a remedy, not simply against the grantor, but also against the Insurance Office. LORD CIIIIT JUSTICE-4 cannot help thinking that neverthe. less the annuity is hazardous ; if the grantor were to die, the prin. cipal would of course be lost ; all, therefore. upon which you rely is the collateral remedy, which is given by the covenant, against a third party, to recover the 1 0001. 2 _ imr, Sergeant Tenn— Four Lordship will perceive that the covenant secures the payment of the annuity, not simply during the lifetime of the original grantee, but also during the lifetime of the two nominees ; and this not on the responsibility of the grantor alone, but likewise on the insurance office. The grantor is already dead. Loan CHIZT JIIITICICThen, I suppose Mrs. Nash is the executrix of the grantor, who you say is d, , a and does not wish that the warrant of attorney should bang over the assets? Mr. Sergeant TannY—Precisely so, my Lord. The Court eventually granted a rule to chew cause; at the same time recommending the Learned Sergeant to offer to make a repay ment of the principal with interest, as it was the opinion of their Lordships, that after the delay inseparable from the present pro ceedings this would, in all probability, be the result of the appli. cation. TOOTER AND OTRTII3 V. WtITWARD. This was an action brought on an agreement between the parties, to recover a considerable sum of money payable oa a certain day, together with the interest on the same. The question had been referred to the Master, who had decided in favour of the plaintiffs. On a former day, Mr. Sergeant Wilde obtained a rule, calling on the plaintiffs to shew cause why all proceedings in the cause should not be stayed on the payment of the principal without in.erest. Mr. St tyrlttlt SPAY Liz this morning sheered muse against the rule. The Learned Counsel's arguments rested entirely on the r e. gumption that the agreement, if not coming under the precise demo. mination of a bond, was yet, to all intents and purposes, a mercan tile transaction ; and, therefore, that interest was clearly recoverable. Mr. Sergeant %Vti.ne having been heed at conakierable length in support of the rule, The Court was of opinion that, although there could be little doubt from the facts of the case that the party making the agreement intended it in ti .e nature of • bond. that yet it could not be con strued to be such an instrument, inasmuch as it Involved no penalty. Thei:. Lordships were. therefore, unanimously of opinion that the instrument in question. so far from being a bond, ought simply to he regarded in the light of a bill under the seal at the parries. The only question for their consideration was, whether or not in. wrest were recoverable on money to be paid on a day named. They cencurted in thinking that it was not, since, in that ease, it would be clearly recoverabl; on rent, which was also made payable on a day rattled. Though cases had been cited in 11 hull the Court itad derided differently, their hardships still the udht it wee dangerous to multiply exceptions to an established rule. IP -- teas - trade abash's.. POLICE REPORTS. GuitimaLi.--Yaitarday, Charles Order, a man of respectab le exterior, apparently about forty, was charged before Sir P. LAURI; with dining in a most sumptuous style, and assisting digestion after dinner with a quantum sitf. of strong waters, at the Blossoms Inn, Lawrence.lane, without being possessed of the needful where. with to satisfy " mine host !" Mr. Knoles, landlord of the Blossoms Inn, stated that the prisoner came on the previous evening, and said he had just arrived from Bristol, and hourly ex ed his luggage.—. He called for dinner, end a very t one it was, con. aiming of fish, flesh, and the other necessary appurtenanoes to boot, and after discussing the same ins style highly creditable to the skill of the took, he male himself comfortable with a becoming modicum of spirits and water; the whole amounting to six shillings and sixpence. However, when the bill was laid before him, he in. funned the landlord with considerable more sangfroid than mine host" received the information, that be had not a single snag about him at the moment. Mr. Knowles added, .that he should have let the fellow off, but he met all remonstrance on the subject with abuse and insolence. Sir PETER asked the prisoner what he was ? to which he replied, that he was an attorney's clerk out of employ, the last place be was g in being Manchester. lair i n consume the complainant's property without being able to pay for it ? Prisoner (coolly)--Really, Sir Peter, I wes not aware of not hay ing my purse about me until I had dined. Sir PETER— Where did you leave your puns ? Prisoner—l hardly know; I believe it was in my trunk at the inn at Hammersmith. Sir Press—How much money was in your purse Prisoner—'Pon my word I can't say_at this moment. Sir Pules—When wiU you pay DM Knowles? Prisoner—When I get some mon Sir Pzrzs.—Will you give Mr. KaowlM your address ? Prisoner—With great pleasure, only I have none. Mr. KsowLEs—l don't care about the money, nor expect ever to get it; but I understand a person has been playing off several tricks at other houses, and I believe the plicate to be the same. Sir PETER—I suspect he is; indeed, if hs wen honestly dis posed he'd go and dine for a shilling, instead of running up so un necessary a bill. At length the prisoner, who conducted himself through the exa mination with the most perfect nonchalance, was discharged on giv. ing . a promise, which Mr. Knowles intimated he placed very little relf r. on, to pay the suns next day. jaws Bloomfield alias Blomom 71w, a well-known desperate character, was &uTed with robbing Daniel Armitage, of a pocket. book, and twenty.sut shillings in silver. The complainant stated that he resided in Richmond, and being in town on Saturday night, the 29th of May last, he was met by the prisoner and two others, in, old Fleet-market, about a quarter past 11. Re never saw any of the party before; but the prisoner addressed him as an old acquaintance, and persuaded him his ignorance was wholly owing to the shortness of his memory. He then insisted that Armitage should go and have share of a pot of beer with the party. They accordingly adjourned to the Crown and Anchor in Old ITleet.market, where they sat down in the tap-room. In a few seconds the prisoner and his coupe. alone seised him, knocked him down, and having stuffed a hand. kerchief into his mouth, which not only prevented his crying out but almost suffocated him ; they then proceeded to rifle his pockets , and took from him a pocket.book, containing some letters and pa. pets, and Ns. in silver. After this they ran off, and had been gone a quarter of an hour before the unfortunate man had completely re. covered. Sir Pareses—Good God ! Ir it possible such a transaction should occur in the tap-room of a public.house ? Wu there not any one present ? Prosecutor—There were several men in the tap-room during the transaction, but they said the assailants were such desperate cha. ratters that they were afraid to interfere. The prisoner had been in custody, since this robbery, one charge of stealing a hogshead of cyder in Surrey, but was discharged at Union Hall, from whence he was brought to the Justlee.toom. A few weeks ago, be was charged here with embezzling 41. belonging to Mr. Deane, of Rose-street, Ncwgate.street. He was remanded, to give the officers time to apprehend the other prisoners. Jilaaitionovoir-rrast T.—Dora alias Dorathea AIM, whose depredations have already been made the subject of inquiry, was yesterday placed at the bar, before J. E. CONANT, Esq. and the It e. A. 8. Tarrant, for re-examination. The Office was crowded with fashionable', and the ptisoner, who looked extremely ill, was accommodated with a chair. Mr. CONANT inquired whether any gentlemen attended front the Duke of Buccleuch ? Ballad replied in the affirmative. John Stewart, Librarian to his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, de posed that the thirteen books produced were the property of his Grace, and were stolen from his seat at Richmond. Me: CoXANT having asked if any person could identify the rases found at the prisoner's, John Parker, steward to the Duke of Buecleuch, stated that the prisoner was engaged at the scat at Richmond last August, to attend upon a distinguished individual. Immediately &Berber departure, five elegant china vases were mbsed, and the vase found at the pri. toner's lodgings was one of them, together with two china jars. Mr. CONANT inquired whether the housekeeper to the Earl of Cardigan could identify some sheets produced, width had been found at the prisoner's Mrs. Yates said that sho did not think she could. Mr. CoNawr said he understood the linen was marked by her own hand. Mrs. Yates replied it was, but her marks bad been erased, and the prisoner's:substituted. Mr. CONANT—Are the sheets like those lost from the Earl of Cardigan's? Mrs. Yates—They certainly resemble ours very much t I scarcely have a doubt about it ; but I should not like to swear positively they are our's, because of the great similarity of linen. Mr. CONANT inquired whether Ballad had heard anything of a bandean of diamonds stolen from Lord Ingestriet. Ballad replied in the negative. He bad asked the prisoner on her way to the office, but she made no answer. The magistrate then asked If anything had been done in the ease of the notes, but nothing satisfactory was elicited on this head. The Mag istrate then inquired whether the prisoner had ar.y thing to say, informing her at the same time that a second ease had been taker. against her. The prisoner, who had just recovered from a fainting fit, replied, " Nothing." After some conversation between Lord Ingestrie and 3lr. Conant, which was conducted in an urder tone, the parties were bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was ordered to be brought up again in a week's time. Some articles rematn unowred.
