FRANCE AND THE BOURBONS IN 1830. From Le Globe. (Continued from the STAR of Saturday). What would have been the fate of France and of liberty under .Buonaparte and his dynasty ? Uneasy, and perhaps little dignified; st Inuit, so we think: and even at the price of the humiliation of a. second lavasion,--even at the price of so much treasure and glory lost,—even at the price of so many and such fierce years of contest, our education as a free people does not seem now to have coat Wei .:melt. But in priportion to the price it bas cost, and continues So eon every day, so the dangers of those Princes who do not accom. • modate themselves to it, increase. We have just Seen how the Bourbons were banished by the people and by the army, because they offended the people and the army. • In vain had.s faint Aurora of political liberty shone upon them, in the midst of a feeble and ignorant legislation : habituated to the Imperial .yoke, counter-revolutionary sophism had obscured it, and though tome patriotic minds, some young spirits awakened by hope, for a moment rallied round them, the same hope drew them to Buonaparte, imploring liberty in the Champ de Mai, perhaps as an actor, but as an actor whose part carried him farther than be wished. Too long has been forgotten the influence which those three months had in our political regeneration, when popular and military scenes were acted—when the renewal of federations was seen —when club and tribune agitation resounded through the land— when appeals were made to the recollection of the campaigns of 1792 and 1793, and when the sacred songs of old victories were heard. Ah ! which of us, then young, amidst the agitation caused by so many unknown emotions, ' , obi& the books of our intik/icy had been unable to excite,—whlch of us in the midst of this clangour of arms and these cries of liberty, though but a cold imitation of what had been before, did not fancy himself carded back to the great days of our fathers ? Which of us did not, with tears in his eyes, and his arm trembling with enthusiasm and indig. nation, and fired with fidelity and bravery,--which of us did not brandish his sword and believe himself as great a hero as any of the heroes among the Marcelloise, ready to conquer or die under the standard of reviving liberty ? Who, too, among the children of the old emigrants or Vendeans, still recollecting the hymns to the martyrs of Royalty chaunted in 1814, did not also dream of fortune, and endeavour to seek it in some obscure part of the country, where they thought themselves powerful and likely to be seconded ? Pardon us this return to 1815. It was not for the purpose of diverging from our object: for, after the victory of the Bth of July, after the restoration, this time certainly forad on us by foreign bayonets, the counter-revolutionary party, which returned with the Bourbons, was obliged to follow the same path which Bonaparte and the friends of the revolution had just followed. It also made an appeal to liberty, and by means of speeches, laws, and votes, it undertook to destroy what had been consolidated for 25 years. The Chamber ',arousals raised the hatchet against every popular institution while pretending to popularity, as the adherents - of the south murdered the Protestants while pretending to compassionate them. Confounded, broken spirited, and divided, the nation seemed to submit. No well-connected opposition was organised r there was no longer any military Buonapanism, or civil discipline, as on the loth of March. There was no longer any intelligent, liberal, strong, tkr united opinion. Still here and there attempts at conspiracy and revolt were made, and it wss always the son of Buonaparte that was opposed to the Bourbons, but still without sincerity and without sympathy in the muses of the people; or rather, the muses did not dare to trust themselves, though in their hearts they were very much inclined to seek any Prince rather than him in whose name a legal counter-revolution was operating and boldly advancing. Had the power of this Chamber, conducted by the La Bourdonnayes, the Corbidres, the Villelea, the Castelbajacs, the tribunes of aristocracy and Catholicism, continued much longer, a civil war would h ave broken out. The foreign Kings perceived this, and Louts XVIII. before all of them. With his sagacity, his great personal tact, and also his honesty and pride u author of the Charter, he perceived the coming danger; and in spite of the opposition of his Court, he stretched forth his hand. The Chamber was dissolved and tran quillity restored. Here commenced an epoch of confidence and hope for the nation. The king presented himself to its eyes in the character of • saviour. if, on the one hand, date Buonapartism still here and there gave signs of existence, a non the other, the extravagant and disconcerted counter-revolutionists expressed their discontent, the miss of the people remained tranquil, and produced as the organ of their wishes and wants a third party, composed of the friends of monarchy become prudent like the king, and of the friends of berty tempered by hope. Three years passed in a satisfactory manner. A law of elections—a happy and bold development of the democratic elements—a law of recruiting, which guaranteed equality —the abolition of the censorship over the journals, a first step to wards the liberty of the press--a direction of vigorous studies fin printed on the superior branch of education—popular instruction en couraged—financial improvements—finally, the liberation of our territory, and the removal of foreign flags..-.all these things an nounced fair intentions on the part of the government, and these in. tertions were answered in a corresponding manner by the people. The hateful principle of secret emnity was supplanted by an avowed and sincere democratic opposition. Every thing was done openly, and, as one may say, in the broad day. At Paris the society of the press, composed of the principal cid. :ens, animated and directed the public feeling ; but without any after-thought, without any other object than prevailing by prose. lytism, by the union and concentration of efforts. The spirit of the charter extended itself. It gradually spread through the provinces, which were still paralysed by, or trembling at, the violence of 1816. It triumphed in the elections. Suddenly this power was stopped. The day succeeding the ordinance of the sth of September a league was formed which boasted of having the support of the heir to the throne, and opposed his name to the name of the king. This league, half religious and half political, directed by prelates and statesmen, amongst whom was remarked a great genius who advo cated liberty sincerely in the midst of hypocrites who wished to stifle it, published journals, thundered in the pulpits, and organised bands of - supporters. The clergy, hitherto but secondary agents, now appeared in the first ranks. The spirit of combination, of hierarchy, and Jesuitical associations, which distinguished this league, was transferred to the royalist party, which resumed its ha. bits of conspiracy and its corresponding societies, as in the time of the emigration. Secret societies, under a thousand different titles, but all approaching the same centre, which was audaciously called the Pavillon, Marsan, the Bentsen*, La France Reyetter(e, &c. were spread over France like network. In some places these societies ruled by terror; in others, they excited irritation by malicious provocations. They conspired for the object whicti they had in view, or they caused their imprudent adversaries to conspire. The bowaosreas fatal of Lyons—the revelations of Liguevel and Legall, organisers of the Chouans in Brit. zany—die trial of Canuel—the Brest missions--all revealed the double intention of destroying liberty by the faults of he friends, or of stifling It by violence. Finally, parricidal rotes invited fo. retinas to enter France fors military occupation, which was nets easy to the accomplishment of their project, and the name of the Prince was constantly put forth s a s a support and sanction for their conduct. Then the national party beet to bestir itself. Its tepee sentatives In the Chamber, alarmed at dm secret 112011111ent which made ell tremble around them, with grief and anger demanded the development of those institutions which alone could protect liberty. This demand added to the terror and embarrassment if the (io vernment, and carried the royalist intrigues to their height. Thus re-action commenced. A blow from the poniard of a fanatic, who wished to stop it, precipitated it. The only Minister who still op. posed the league, the beloved favourite of the King, was driven from the palace amongst the cries of a furious party, who took a bloody robe for their standard. The liberty of the pre,' was de stroyed, rind next individual liberty. Then the law of elections was attacked—the law of elections, which was the last rampart of legal resistance. What, under these circunistances, could or ought the national party to do? It uttered complaints, prayers, fatal pro-, lobecies. The ardent, honourable, and enthusiastic youth of the tuition heard and adopted its sentiments. They assembled around the palace where their destinies wets under discussion, Ind uttered applications and murmurs. They were dispersed by force, and blood was shed. This impropriety on the part of the young men belonging to the schools was the subject of great complaint. The Government pm. tended to &ma in. this a spirit of concert, a pion of revolt, in stead of observing in it merely a melancholy anticipation, a proof • affection for the liberty about to be lost, and the turbulence natural to youth. Certainly we need not now conceal that there has been for ten years a secret and concerted hostility. We may, we ought to acknowledge it in the face of the country, for now frankness and information are required. Frankness is lakewhe neeeseary for the throne Which is now hanging over the same abyss which was opened is 1820 by, guilty re-. Mon. No: the national party entertained DO projeen hostile to the existing dynasty ; it sought only a legiti mate defence. No ; there was no conspiracy, when conspiracy was wrapt, and avowed oq the other side. If, subsequently, a plan of defence been formed--!f designs hostile to the dynasty have been eatertainexlif in some inns of Ilie country these designs have Arend 'faun, and suppoet—if dangerous amocia&m have existed, secretly for a long thie--if infuriation, have berg Mtenquad—all title didnot occur (we can prove it) until after the Metope set by the other side, until after the attack and violation of the darter. We can prove that even under M. de Villele, in consequence - of die. I cussien finding a legitimate vent by means of the press, of hostility were repressed; and that only broke forth at alter period, when, overcome by discussion nd by the progress of pond cal morals, this Minister attempted a third violent re-action by eats. bushing the censorship, destroying the purity of election by fraud, anti dipping his hands in the blood of citizens. Then, *in, the question of dynasty was brought forward t but only a few days pawed over, when the King perceived his danger, and all was for. gotten. M. de Polignac has again raised the storm. The violence of this storm will increase daily if he continues in office, or if he be succeeded by any one, either bold or timid, who may attempt by force or stratagem to oppose the henceforth irresistible development of popular liberty. LAW INTELLIGENCE. • VICR-CRANCRLLOkB COURT, Mason S. HOWE V. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS. The phentilf in this cause is the widow of a person named Howe, who lived at Hamptead, on very intimate terms with the defendant Crouch, and died in 1826. Howe had accumulated about 500/. which he kept by him in a box. Crouch remonstrated with him en the folly of letting the money lie useless in that wiy, and Howe then said Buy me a house with it." Crouch accordingly nego. elated for an unfinished house, and it was arran ge d t h at the lease was to be taken in the name of iCrouch, and that the transaction should be kept secret from all the world except Howe's wife. The house was finished, and all the money for that purpose, as well as the purchase money, except about 261. was advanced by Howe. The lease continued in the possession of Crouch, who became In. solvent, and was schemed by the Act in 1318, when the lease came into the possession of his assignees, against whom Crouch's widow filed this bill, praying that Crouch might be declared a trustee of the lessee for Howe, and that the lease might be assigned and delivered up to the plaintifon paying a small sum due to Crouch's estate on account of it. His Honour the Vics.Curatczt.t.on thought he could not re. fuse his belief to this aceount of the transaction told by Crouch, as it was confirmed by his charging himself with the monies received by him from Howe in his books,and by his statement in his sthedule,. and therefore granted the dean as prayed for. BRIEN V. j0i1... Mr. KNIGHT, at the sitting of the Court, requested his Honour would be good enough to allow this cause to be called on, for the convenience of Sir Edward Antrobus, who was in attendance under a subpoena ducea team, to produce a mortage.deed. That deed being in Sir Edward's possession as mortgagee, he objected to produce it, stating that as a mortgagee, he was not hound to do so.— Such being the objection taken by Sir Edward, the clients of Mr. Knight had adopted the present course. It was not the intention of the learned counsel to argue the point, but merely to submit it to the consideration of the Court, in the way he had done, with this observation, that he did not conceive a witness having a deed or mortgage, could effectually protect himself from its production, by the course pursued by Sir Edward Antrobus. The Sercs-Cassiczu.o• apprehended that it was a clearly set. fled point that no party could call upon a mortgagee to produce his deed, without paying off the mortgage. The SoLicuroa.G•wznar. recollecte d a case similar to the present, in.which Lord Kenyon said to the mortgagee in possession of thedeed, "There, my good fellow sit down on the box which contains our deed, and don't stir from , it till you go out of Court." The VICE-CHANCELLOR had no power to compel Sir Edward to produce his deed. Sir Edward shortly afterwards left the Court, with the deed safe in his possession. ROLLS' COURT, Mann S. LORD DURHAM V. THR MARQUIS OT LONDOWDZRIT. This was a bill filed to obtain the specific performance of an agrevnent. The Marquis of Londonderry purced an estate of a 3lr. Dank n, a trustee appointed by the will of Mr. D awson l am b_ ton, for 21,0001. The Marquis thentsold a gre a t p ar t o f t h e estate to Led Durham for 16,0001. and received the money, but did not pay the purchase money to Mr. Dankin, taking an objection to his conveying a title, Mr. Lanibton's eldest son being a lunatic, for the disposition of whose property a bill in Chancery was filed, and therefore it was alleged, that the authority of the Court was neces sary to complete the conveyance. It was urged [that the M a r qu i s had accepted.the title, by the act of reselling the estate; but it was finally arranged, that that point should be referred to the Muter. COURT OF KING'S BKNCM, MARC!' 3. • DALY V. SLATTED. This was an action brought by the plaintiff and his partner, who were bankers, at Paris, as indorses of a bill of exchange for 3151. 16s. 10d. against the drawer. The defence set up was, that due notice had not been given. After considerable argument, and the production of several wit news, it was agreed between the parties to make a special case of the cause. WILBRAHAM Y. WATIIELLY. This was an action on a policy of Insurance. The facts of the cue were shortly these. The insurance was effected on the cargo of the ship Comet, bound to Madeira, and the plaintiff, a gun-maker, had shipped on .board a cargo of fire.arms, upon which the in. surance was made. On the arrival of the vessel at Madeira, the cargo was seized upon as " contrabrand at war." It was proved that the agent of the defendant had given notice to the government of Madeira that these good. were about to arrive in the island, and accordingly, on the arrival of the vessel, her cargo was seized, as contraband at war, and had never been recovered by the plaintiff. It was therefore contended, on the part of the plaintiff, that had it not been for this information, which was given by the defendant's agent, the selsure would not have been, and that having been made. he was liable to plaintiff for the amount of the policy. For the de. fence, it was alleged, that according to the treaty of reciprocity be. tween the blend of Madeira and this country, the goods were to all intents and purposes contraband ; and that the government were ap. prehensive of its being a smuggling transaction. Lord TENTERDIN was of opinion, that the defence could not be maintained according to the wording of the treaty. The plainti ff was therefore entitled to recover. The Jury re•urned, under his Lordship's direction, a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1981. SOULiT V. TYSON AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an eminent wine. merchant in the City of London. to recover from the defendants the sum of 3651. the amount of alien upon a certain bond given by Mr. A. Macdougall. It appeared that there had been an action at law, in which the defendants bad been concerned as monies. The de fendants had written a letter to the plaintiff, stating that they would pay off the lien out of the money recovered on this bond, should they succeed . ; but if they only recovered part, then they under took to pay the amount left atter the payment of the costs of the action. It was proved in evidence that the defendants had received more than that sum upon the bond ; that Mr. Knight, one of the defendants, had quitted this country, leaving his affairs in a state of considerable embarrassment. The plaintiffthetefore thought him. self entitled to recover the amount of his claim from the partner, Mr. Fyson. On the part of the defendant, it was contended that the money had been paid to Mr. Knight, it having been arranged that that gentle ' man was to have the conduct of the business, and that therefore the defendant, Mr. Fyson, was not liable. There being no evidence produced to prove that the plaintiff had been a party to such arrangement, Lord Tgrermanzx held that the defendant, Mrs. Fyson, was liable. The Jury consequently found a verdict for the plaintiff—De. SOL ma The comtooa jury causes, most of whish were undefended, were then tried. MURRAY T. STRATI', DOLMAN, AND CORNOULD. This was an issue from the Court of Chancery, directing the Jury to inquire whether or not an engraver has a right to reserve for his own use proofs or impressions from plates which he had been employed to engrave. The case has already been tried before Mr. Justice Gaines, in the Court of Common Pleas, when the Jury found a verdict for the defendant, as to the fact of engravers having a ht to reserve eight impressions from the plate for their own use. The Jury were about to add their opinion, on the question of the right of the engraver to sell the prints so obtained ; but that not being a part of the Issue they were directed to, the Learned Judge did n o t rece i ve t h at The part of their verdict. The Lord Chancellor not being satisfied with this decision, directed a new issue to be tried by this Court. The Attang.fieneral, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Hill, appeared for the plaintiff: Mr. Common Sergeant Delman, and Mr. Gurney, for the defendants. The facts of the case have already been before the public. Mr. Heath was employed by Mr.. Murray. to engrave sets of plates, to illustrate Lord Byron s " Ikon Joon," and " Orabb's Poems," *bleb being executed, Mr. Heath " pulled" a number of impres sions for his own use. In 1825 Mr. Heath tailed In businesa, and his stock of engravings, among which were the impressions from Mr. Murray's plates, were advertised for publi c sa l e , at Mr. bouthgate's rooms, in Fleet-street. An injunction was obtained by !dr. Murray, and the sale did not take place. The defendants rested their defence on the ancient usage and cus tom of engravers, who, they comMtled, had always been in the practice of taking front three to twelve impressions from all plates tbey To prove this case, the following witnesses were Mr. Edward Goodall stated, that be had bee n a copper-plate en. graver for sixteen years. • Has always taken from dupes us twelve impretistons from all the plates he engraved. In some mess his em ployers bad a knowledge - 01de taking the impressions. Mr. .Edward linden—Has been eighteen yews in engraver' Witness had takes impressions from plates engraved by him. Never took more than twelve from any one plate. Mr. George Robins, of Covent-prdm, stated that be field the ' stock of Mr. James Reath, the engraver. The sale lasted tiro days. There were a number of unlettered prints in the collection. The sale was well attended, and several book itnd print-sellers were present. Mr. Wm. Smith, engraver. Always kept from six to twelve ho of his engravings. • From the two last plates he took 18 eail impressions. Six were for the printer, three for the proprietor, and nine for himself. Mr. Richard Lane engraved a plate of "Little Red Riding Hood," for Messrs. Robinson and Co. Mr. Robinson asked hint if he had taken any impressions. Witness amid that he had. Mr. Robinson then asked him if he could justify the practice? Wit. ness replied that he could not, but that it was the custom of the profession. It was a ft erwards aimed that he should keep the in. pressions, but not sell them. William Tindall, clerk to Mr. Sotheby, Auctioneer, in Wel lington.street, stated, his employer had, on several occasions, _sold the stock and collection of engravers, consisting of unlettered en gravings. The sales were attended by several print-sellers. Mr. Jones. auctioneer, of Leicester.place, stated that some years ago he sold a collection of prints for Mr. Smith, the engraver.— There were a number of "engravers proofs" among them. Mr. Colnaghi, the printseller, in Cockspur-etreet, to the amount of 171. The LORD Cum, Jussicr, in summing up the case to the Jury, said they had merely to direct their attention to one point, viz.—whether by law a person employed to engrave, had a right to retains certain number of impressions of the plate ? It could not, in his opinion, be lawful, unless established by a practice so lung known to the rade, that every person connected with it must have known and consented to it. The Jury, after ashore consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff: ADMIRALTY COURT. THE ZETHYRIXA. - _ _ In this case judgment was this day given. Sir C. ROBINSON ' after stating the facts of the case, said that the Order in Council which directed that all prises made by tenders or boats belonging to a ship of war should be considered as if cap tured by such ship of war, was not intended to alter the principle of the prize laws, which had been in force for so lotm a period. The allegation on the part of the officers and crew of the Sybille must, therefore, be rejected. BOARD OF EXCISE. THE /MG T. T. N. BOWDEN. This was an information preferred against Thomas Hill Bow. den by the Excise Board, for having in his possession, for the purpose of adulteration and colouring, a quantity of salt water and' treacle, and other ingredients. There were six counts in the information ; five of them on pens. ties 0f2501. and the sixth on a penalty of 601. Excise officers deposed to going to the house of the defendant, • retail dealer in beer and spirits, in St. John.street„ and there finding a quantity of colouring stuff in the lower part of the premises. The salt water and treacle, with other ingredients. were for the purpose of mixing with the beer and liquors he retailed. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and urged in his defence that he had not the least intention of doing wrong, either by cheating the public or defrauding the revenue. Mr. Mayo, the Solicitor fur the Excise, submitted the ease was' full proved, and called for the penalties. The Communaute, after 10111 T consultation, commuted the full penalties to the mitigated one of SO/. Lewis Jones, a publican, was charged with a similar offence, for having in his possession a quart bottle of treacle and colouring matter. The offence was clearly proved, the bottle and liquid being found in the bar. The stuff was produced, and sworn to be for the pur pose of colouring and mixing with beer. The defendant declared that he had no guilty or fraudulent in tention, bat admitted having the stuff in his possession, which he used for colouring his rum, not knowing it to be an offence. The Commissioners, under all the circumstances mitigated the penalty to 101. LENT ASSIZES. NO K 7 H A M PTON. - - - In the Nisi Prius Court, in which Mr. Baron GAILIWIV presided, seven causes, all that were entered were tried ; of which the follow ing alone is worthy of notice: HERBERT tr. AUSTIN AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover the amount of a bill furnished by the plaintiff to the defendants, who were overseen of the parish of Pottersbury, for surgical attendance and medicines supplied by the former, as surgeon and apothecary, to a pauper under their care.— The defendants resisted the action on the ground that the plaintiff, not having passed Apothecaries' Hall, nor having practised before 1815 as an apothecary, was not entitled to charge in that capacity; end, secondly, that the defendants had not employed him. Mr. Baron °arrow In summing up the evidence, reminded the Jury of the ludicrous pretensions of the water-doctors formerly, aird related the old anecdote of the substit u tion o f a horse ' s urine teethes of a human being, whereby the quackery of one of them was even. pletety exposed. The Jury found that the plaintiff had not been in business as an apothecary before 1818 ; but upon the other part of the cue, the question of law being reserved for the Court above, they found for the plaintiff—Damages 501. _ READING. Charles Morris Ames a youngsna;of most respectable appear- Knee, was capitally charted with stealing 68 yards of thread lace and two handkerchiefs, the property of Mr. George Shepherd, his masa ter, from his dwelling-house. Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Carrington conducted the prosecution ; 111 r. Talfourd the defence. Thomas Waters, a polies officer, of Worship-stmt, said—ln consequence of information received from Mr. Shepherd, I went to the house of Mr. Jones, of Park -street, Upper Baker-street, Lon don, and received from Mrs. Jones a parcel which I now produce, containing a quantity of lace, two handkerchiefs, some Irish linen, and a shirt eohn.. Mrs. Jones also gave me a letter. The parcel . was directed " C. M. Jones, to be left at Mr. Richard Jones's, 37, Park-street, upper Baker-street, London, per Alert coach. To be delivered Immediately." Mrs. Anne Jones said—l received the parcel, which I delivered to Waters on the 19th of October; it is in the same rate as it was when I received it. Mr. William Faulkner said—l keep the Red Lion Inn, at Abing. don ; in the month of October the Alert coach ran to my house ; the used often to come there; the prisoner told me he was sent son to Abingdon, by a house in Wood -street, to take the money received at Mr. Shepherd's shop, to satisfy a bond they held of Mr. Shepherd's. Clarissa Faulkner am the wife of the last whams. On the 18th October the prisoner booked a parcel, addressed to Mr. Jones, Upper Baker.street ; that was not the whole direction, but that is all that I put into the book ; the parcel went by the Alert coach. Mr. George Shepherd said-1 was a linen draper at Abingdon, but I have now retired from business. lam also the post-master and distributor of stamps. On the 30th of September I engaged the prisoner as a shopman for six months certain, at a salary of two pounds ten shillings per month. I know his hand.writing. The letter produced is of his hand-slicing, so is the direction on the parcel. I know the lace contained in die parcel to be mine. It has my shop marks on it. i also know the handkerchiefs. I have compared them with some that were left in my shop, and they were evidently torn from the same piece. The prisoner was, to my knowledge, in Abingdon from the 30th of September to the Bth of November. He could not have gone either to Buckingham, Southampton, or Worcester. The prisoner was not sent down by any house in Wood.street , to receive the money taken in my shop and remit it to them. I never gave any bond to any house in Woed.street. The prbooer made no defence, but said he left his ease to his Coo Mr. Baron BOLLAND summed up the evidence. Verdict—Guilty. As soon as the verdict was returned. Mr. Shepherd, the prose cutor, said—" l hope that your Lordship will be pleased to spare his life." Mr. Baron Bott.atto intimated that he considered that this was a case in which he should hardly do his duty unless he allowed the law to take ha full effect ; but that, in consequence of the humane recommendation of the prosecutor, he should order the judgment to he recorded, and recommend the prisoner to his Majesty's mere but his Lordship added, that he was quite sate that mercy could be only extended on condition of the prisomr's being transported for life. There were several other charges against the iOilt?, both for embezzling and steeling the property of Mt. Shep herd, while in hi. service.

Thy are notorious pickpockets, and their pock e t s me contrived rt iilas such a manner as to admit of their passing stolen handkerchiefs, or other property, from thence to other parts of their persons.

Yesterday morning war appointed for the re-examination of Jonathan Oakes and Jonathan Member,' charged with having committed a burglary at Holly-lodge, the seat of the Duke of S t . Albans; and of Mr. Wi ll iam Kitson who had been detained custody in consequence of having pat:hated the articles Stolen.— Since the first investigation, Henry Hockey, formerly under-gar. dater to his Grace, had been apprehended, and was also placed in the slip. A recapitulation of the burglary Was made by Curtis, the officer, and Mr. Kilsby explained how he bad purchased the vases and the beautiful French clock from the prisoners. William Henry Pallmer stated in eriminatica of the gardener Hockey, that they had for sometime put both lived In the same apartment. About three weeks ago the prisoner Hockey asked him if he would be in a:" good thing" that was to take place in a night or two ? Witness asked what he alluded to ? The prisoner replied that it was a robbery at the Duke of St. Alban's. Witness refused to have anything to do with it. Prisoner then went away, saying that he had to meet a young man at the Yorkshire Stingo; he then left his lodgings, and witness had never se e n hi m s i nce . A long discussion hereupon took place between Mr. Chambers, Mr. Nobler, and Mr. Harmer, with regard to the connexion of Mr. Kilsby with the prisoners. Me. CHANIEIII: Mr. Kilsby, when you purchased the property from the prisoners, were there any witnesses present ? Mr. Kilsby : the publican' of the house in which the transaction took place was there, named Craig. James Craig sworn t Remembered Mr. Kilsby coming to the public-house where he was bar-man ; the prisoners, Oakes and Plummer, were there. Mr. Kilsby came out and asked witness if be knew them, as ire was about to purchase some vases and a French clock from them ? Witness replied he did not know them ; the parties then left the house. Mr. Bibby After I bad agreed to accompany the prisoners , I went with them into Gee's-court, Oxford-street, and(awing seen the articles, eventually purchased them for 51. being in want of 151. on the following Saturday to make up a heavy payment, I sent over to Mr. Butchell, the pawnbroker, and told him to select any part of my stock to that amount, as it was only a temporary mom mndation ; amongst the other things be took the vase and clock, and for some time he would not allow any more than U. upon them ; as, though they were very showy in appearance, yet there wu so much deception in such articles, that the best judges might be de ceived in them. The shopman of Mr. Butchell corroborated this statement, who had been deputed by his master to go over to Ma KJlsby's premises. and who had advanced him the lb,. Mr. Harmer contended that there was not any Imputation against Mr. Kilaby, and that he ought to be discharged out of custody. Mr. CMADISLIS said, that at the first blush of the transaction it did seem curious that a person should go to an old Iron shop to purchase a handsome gold clock : he would make no more cum. meats upon the matter, but hoped that this would be a warning to Mr. Kilsby against being guilty of such folly in future. Mr. Kilaby was then discharged, and the other three prisoners were remanded until Tuesday next. TOWN HALL Yesterday a Mr. fagots made application for a warrant against a young man attached to St. Thomas's Hospital Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, in front of the Hospital gates, in Thomas-street, the young man accused threw out a halfpenny to the applicant's son, three years old, for him anti his playmate to race for, and afterwards took him through the hos pital to a cellar, where he made him kneel down, stripped down his clothes, and whipped him terribly; then took him by one leg, dragged him backwards and forwards, and whipped him, although the child said he had done nothing to deserve it. The accused said, that hearing it was intended to make the present application, he had attended voluntarily, to deny moss solemnly being the person who had inflicted the injuries, or having further to do with the child than throwing the halfpenny. He pro duced his sister, who stated that he was in her room from a little after six o'clock to seven . There was, however, ten minutes un. ' accounted for. Alderman A trat.nr Paid a most barbarous outrage had been eom• mitted by some pitiless ruffian; and, turning to the father, left it for him to indict the accused, if he considered he bad sufficient proof of his being the author of his child's sufferings, which the father said he was fully convinced he was, and would proceed against him. LA 111 BET 11. STREET. Yesterday John Drown, a young man in the garb of a sailor, was brought before T. SVALitza, Esq. for final examination, on a charge of swindling several tradesmen out of property to a consi derable amonnt. The only case gone Into was one in which the prisoner, under Menof being about to join a vessel on the eve of sailing to the l e n e dies with government stores, obtained from Mr. Stencil', a mathematical instrument-maker, a sextant quadrant, and other ar ticles, amounting to over 181. These facts being distinctly proved. it was considered unnecessary to go into the other charges, the Ma gistrates telling the other parties, whom he had imposed on, that they might, it they thought proper, prefer additional indictments against him at the sessions. 11i Bans Walker, alias Black-eyed MIN, a notorious burglar and thief, was charged with being concerned in the commission of a daring robbery on Charles Harper, a salesman, in Bpitalfields market. From the statement of the prosecutor, it appeared that, on Sun. day night last, he fell into company with the prisoner and another who professing the greatest friendship towards hit L ef . '" freely with drink, until he became quite intoxicated. in that state, they not only robbed him of his *at( silver, and his coat, but also beat him in a most savage ... The primmer was remanded, to give time for the apprehension his companions. BIRTH. At Ashling-house, the lady of Lieut.. Geo. Fraser. Victory, of a son. MARttIED.
