A STATEMENT OF THE PUBLIC PRESS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Perhaps there is nothing that has made so rapid a pro gress as the public Press of Great Britain within the last century. The first established newspaper was during the reign of Queen Bliss sabeth in 15115, and was entitled The English Me►curirr it only contained news similar to our London Gazelle, and was published by Royal Authority, but not regularly. There was no regular daily paper printed till after the abdication of James the Second, and one was then established under the popular title of The Orange Intern geneer. In the reign of Queen Anne there was still but one daily paper, the others were weekly. Since that period they have in creased to their present astonishing num►er. INGLAIID. London Press.—ln beginninitwith the London Pre" there are seven daily morning papers. which publish on an average sweaty three thousand sheets ; and six evening ones, which publish about ten thousand; exclusive of these there are two (one the Casette) published twice a week. Tuesdays and Fridays; lout, three times a week. two of which sre published on Monday., Wednesdays, and Fridays. and the other two on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Se. t urdays ; and of weekly aaes, one on Mondays, one on Tuesday., two on Wednesdays, three on Thursdays, fifteen on Saturdays, fourteen on Sundays, eight of which are second editions of the pre ceding day's publication. and tour of the remaining six are re. published on the Mondays—making, in round numbers, about fifty-seven thousand; therefore the whole fortyseven papers of the London press, publish in one week 255,000 sheets In the country there are eleven papers published on Mondays, twenty on Tuesdays. twelve on Wednesdays, nineteen on Thurs days, twenty on Fridays, sixty-five on Saturdays, and cue on Staiday. In the Island of Guernsey, one of Tuesdays, and two on Saturdays ; in Jersey, one on Tuesdays, and two on Satur days ; and in the Isle of Man one on Tuesdays. making in the whole 202 papers. In Edinburgh there are two papers published on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays ; three on Tuesdays and Fridays, two on Wedne sdays, one on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and three on Saturdays. In the other parts of Scotland there are two published three times a week, four twice, and twenty once a week, making in whole thirty-seven papers. It is rather a singular circumstance, that throughout this country there it, neither a daily nor Sund ay paper published. IRU.AND. In Dublin there are four Daily Papers. and one published on Mondays ; three on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; three on 'Tuesdays, Thursday+, and Saturdays; and four on ffiturdays.. The country papers consist of .is published three times a week ; t wenty-sis twice a week, and eleven once a week, making in the whole fifty-right paper+. In this country, the same as in &a l.:nil, there Is no paper published on Sundays. The number of different papers published throughout the United Kingdom, amounts to £97 ; and nearly one-sisth of the whole is the produc tion of the London press.

Knight and Lacey. was brought up on his petition to be discharged. He sons opposed by Mr. Mahon on behalf of Messrs. Alderman Key and Co. stationers, and Joseph Robertson, Esq. and by Mr. Salmon, of the firm of Cunningham and Salmon, in person. Messrs. Cooke and Dunn were Counsel for the insolvent. The insolvent's schedule was of very great length. The debts on the schedule, most of which have been contracted since the bank ruptcy. amounted to 2,478 L 175. 11d. Debts owing to the estate, 1,7x51. se. Sid partly bad and partly. doubtful. The insolvent examined—When myself and partner went into business, in !NM we had capital to the amount of about 700 f. the furniture and liztures'were worth five hundred pounds more. The amount of our debts, at our first failure, in January, 1826, was about 60,0001. We had about one hundred pounds in cash after our bankruptcy to begin again with. Mr. Joseph Clinton Ro bertson was the editor and part proprietor of " The Mechanic's Magazine," in which we bad a considerable share. Mr. Robert. son was not the sole proprietor. He received 5001. a-year for performing the duty of editor. Its circulation was very great; lac one time it amounted to thirty thousand weekly. We had also another work, called " The Pulpit," which bad a good circu lation. After our bankruptcy Messrs. Ireland and Duckworth, the printers, of Fleet -street, became our securities to the as signees, Messrs. Edward M'Hoy and David Sydney, for the payment of the debts owing on account chiefly of " The Me ;the:des Magazine ;" and this work and " The Pulpit" were I then assigned to us by them. By a deed, dated June, 1827, we assigned to Mr. Robertson, in consideration of the sum of £1,200, Ito be paid by bills, the copyright of " The Mechanic's Magazine." This was done with the consent of our assignees. We received some accommodation bills from Mr. Hernensan, of Leeds, to the amount of about £6OO or £7OO. The old debts of the bankruptcy were not included in the bills we gave him in return. I believe balance of those debts was included. We gave him also a mort gage on our premises. M . Ireland and Duckworth, when we failed, were creditors to the amount of about £5,000. We assigned them a large stock of " The Mechanic's Magazine." " Pulpits," and stereotype plates of " The Mechanic's Magazine." The Cuter Cossmissuntes here interposed, and observed the ex *ruination had better be restricted on that point. Mr. Mamie then put in the deed of assignment to Mr. Robert son. Mr. Robertson was the bona fide proprietor of" The Mecha. nk's Magazine." Mr. Came, for the insolvent, said, if the Court considered the deed of importance, the whole of it must be read ; but the fact Was, Messrs. Kni ght and Lacey bad assigned the copyright of this work for a consideration, no part of which has been paid. Examination of the insolvent continued by Mr. Cooke—The consideration money was to he paid by Mr. Robertson in bilis; these bills were taken up by Messrs. Bodden and Walters, solicitors to the commission of bankruptcy. Messrs. Ireland and Duckworth also paid part of them, and ourselves the other. To further questions the insolvent said that he left the concern with only 71. 4s. in his pocket, and the furniture of his bed-room. Mr. Morris Salmon, of Fleet-street, printer. opposed the insol vent in person on behalf of himself and partner, bit. Cunningham. He stated that be was a creditor for 1081. for printing a work en titled" Public Cbaracters"—(A laugh). Cross examined by Mr. Coosa-1 have received, as a security, a considerable stock of Pulpits"—(Laughter). They were sent us to prevent our striking a docket. We coneetited.not to do this, and also discharged an action to recover 401. Mr. Couse--Did you ever issue such an adverti s ement as this? —(reading)—" In the press, and shortly will bepublished, a-copy of the schedule of Messrs. Knight and Lacey • &bowing. how two. young.man can eater business with a capital d 5001., and in a short Wiwi become bankrupts fur 60,0801., and fail a second time for 20,0001. Price sixpence." Mr..Salnsoor-Yes; I thought. by exposing them, I should get my. debt. (Geese Unglues .) Mr. Salmon then vzundeed insolvent—Have you any interest Its your brother's house in St. Paul's Church-yard ? Insolvent-.-No. Do you not mean, if you get your discharge from this court. ha mediately to commence business there? Insolvent—No. The Cniat Coossmuozza—Suppose he does it will not he dis reputable for him to do so, unless you can show that he has pro perty there which ought to be given up to his creditors. I have heard this long and irrelevant examination with patience, because I did not wish that any creditor should have the slightest °masks to say that his opposition, was not attended to. Your questions (said the Learned Commissioner to the insolvent) have been very pro perly answered, and you will be discharged. The Collar then appointed Mr. Alderman Key the &soignee, and renounced the Walston entitled to the benefit of the act, and ordered him to be forthwith discharged. James Wm. Morris was brought up. from the Kings Bench pri son on his petition to be discharged. He was impend by Mr. Heath ms behalf of a bon of ladies (lodging-borne-keepers), with whom he-had contracted debts of various amounts, under the assumed names of Captain Grant. Mr. Wallace, Mr. Wall. &c. After the examination had proceeded some length it. as ascer tained that the insolvent had not correctly deseribid various rest deuces where be had contracted debts, and the Chief Canada- Diener consequently dismissed his petition. Mr. Hearst said the insolvent bad assumed as many shapes as Pruteus, bat. if be bad any dificaky in supplying the omission of his multitudinous names and detcriptions. he could refer to the various militia returns with which be bad favoured so many paddle' in the metropolis. As soon as the insolvent bad mounted the box, some female in the gallery fainted, and was carried out of court. Thomas Delete, a genteel-looking man, was opposed by Mr. Nodose sad four other mantes. • The eippashei creditor said he lent the insolvent 2001. to start in Wives% and be wished to make a few inquiries relative to the wooer in which he bad disposed of some of his property, particu larly a large quantity of wine and spirits, which be had shortly be fore be went to prison. The insolvent said he had been recommended by his doctor to drink wise, in preference to mak liquor or spirits; " so," said be. " I ordered flee dozen of wipe, soma gin, rum, and brandy." Courussionaa—Well, and what became of that wine and spirits? Insolvent—l have drunk it all ;me and my friendt. Cossuuroonaa—How long were you in drinking it? Insolvent—Five weeks. Cosusissumeng—How much did you take to prim? Insolvent—None. Sir. c o anamarorrea r ..What did you drink there ! Insolvent—Milk and water. Cosorissaoinun!- Well, you appear iu good health; I should have supposed, that atter having drunk. so freely of wine aid spirits a sudden trausition to milk and water would almost have caused death.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 111ANSIOT4T-HOUSE. .kka Akkeediets, a young mass with the appearance of fright about him, was brought before the Loan ?dime, charged with having attempted to violate a very simple-looking girl, aged IS years. The mother of the girl appeared to be in a state bordering upon distraction. Mary Rowed, the girl waning. stated that sloe had been clean ing lire-irons in the ball of her mute's house, while aM the family were out. except the prisoner and herself. The prisoner was Wow in the cellar, and be called witness to look for some Wee jugs. The moment she appeared before him, be took her in his arms: and threw her down.

The prisoner was ordered to And bell. ATTOITTID &CAM or HOLLINIUMAD, rut NOTOSIJOVII HAVE ASO MAIL COACH Roasso.—Saturday Mr. Gates the Solicitor to the Committee of Banker., waited upon the Loss Maros to acquaint his Lordship with the attempt mad. by IhNitakesd. who was about a month ago committed to prison to take his trial foe rob bing the St. Neon's Bank, in conjunction with two others, oat of whom is named Adder. The ease with which Hellinshead got out of prison certainly argues but little in favour of the prison system at St. Neon's. It appears that some ladders were, whether by accident or intention, we knew not, left whist's the walk ot the prison, at the very part of an others where Hoillosbead and the other prisoners, who were very likely to take advantage of such an opportunity, were ceased. It happened that the keeper of the prison was In the front, at a distance from the spot, and that the workmen who bad been labouring, went to dinner. Hollins bead, upon seeing the "chance," proposed to scale the wall, and his motion was acceded to, new me. Several prisoners got over , and ran along through thefields.but the eye of inquisitiveness was after them. Some country people, who were labouring in the fields, raised a hue and cry. upon wits* a set of fellows so unlike their honest neighbours, scouring along the meadows. They were seen lurking about the hedges. and watched until the Governor received intimation of their escape. A party of constables was immediately sent after them, sad they were pulled, one and all, Irons amongst the fuse bus hes. iloninabead lay closer than any of the red, and there era‘ a general ery of “ feteb him not with a fork." A fork was used. and be was actually poked out and logged of with the rest to his old "tatters. The Governor im mediately put him in double bona. and it is believed be will be kept in them until the day of his trial. The robbery bad been. we understand, effected by means of keys, mad. after impretielons upon was, and the amount is, it is reported, between 6.0001. and 7.0001. A reward of 1001. has been offered for the apprehension of two other preens who are swpected of having bees conserved In the robbery of the St. Neot's Bank. GUILDHALL. Four inurneyesen bookbinders, named Tema 4thiain, Jones DlMli,Jeis live. and (fierier Clarke. were brought up un suspi cion of maltreating a watchman named George Dee. belonging to Blackfriars. Potter. the Beadle, stated, that he had visited . Dee. in Bardso• lonew's Hospital to bear big statement of what had occurred, which was, that in passing through Ireland-yard, on Sc. Aodrew's. bill, at tom minutes before one, be was beset by four er Ave men. That one of them, with black whiskers, had knocked him down. struck hies repeatedly while on the group& and had jumped on his breast and belly with his knees. That he tried to spring his rattle, but the rest of the men prevented him, and" while he was down treated him in a strangely contemptuous. and indecent manner, which we cannot particularize. He was conveyed to the hospital inwardly hinted, with one leg broken, and the ankle dis located. Matthew Foy, a womanise in Wardrobe-terrace, said he heard a faint springing of the rattle, and went in the direction of he land-yard. but hearing all was quiet. he called out, " Where are you ?' Dee answered, that he bad been ill treated by five or six men, who had broken his leg. and were gone away. He obtained assistance to carry Dee to the hospital. Benjamin Elowell. a. wheelwright, la Ireland-yard, said be came home at twelve, with a butcher in Shoemaker-row, and meeting Des, they asked him to drink with them. whic h be agreed to. and they all went Into the Horse Shoe. in Friar -street, Ireland-yard : here they remained twenty minutes, and then the Lindland cleared the home, the prisoners being in dr:dipoles*. The watchman was talking about sparring, and saying they would be of no use against him, when Soper said he thought be could knock his bead about. He was sure hr should give him (the watchman) • the first dap on the heed. They both stood in. attitude. and he could not tell who struck the first blow, but the, watchman had the Ant fall, and oe getti ng on Miley again, was going to strike Super • with his stick ; r cried oat, " Do you mean that ?" and they had another round, which ended in the watchman edam, and e tripping up" lathe kennel. Soper wrenched the stick frees him while he was down, and said he should use nothing but his fists. The watchman did not get up, but said his leg was broken ; upon which somebody said, " Ob. he is a d—d cur," and they all • walked away. the rest of the primmer did sot interfere during the Immo—nor did they Ukase him whoredom, Dowdrey, the night cuoitable, said that Dee was perfectly sober when be went on ditty. Bonfield, a constable, saw part of the affray, and heard the watchman cry out that his leg was breams. The landlord refined to tell the names of his gusts who had ceeseiete4 the:amok but their persons were known to witness, and he procured their addresses from Bowel. The prisoners in their defence gave a version of the affair similar to that told by Bowen . The Atemosen committed Soper for the assault, and discharged his companions. pOW-STREET. Bteatte.—Strah Ann 7Wton, a weans about 40 year. of age, was charged with marrying Bonfield Bryant, her former husband. Wm. Tenon, being thee Ann Tattoo stated, that she was present when the prisoner was married to her son, at. St. Mary's, Lambeth, on the 28th of Aug. 1822. Her WO was an apprentice at the time, and only 17 years of age ; they were married by bans, and the prisoner described her self as a widow. Bonfield Bryant, the second husband, stated that he was 'storied to the prisoner at Islington Church. on the 10th Ott. 1817. She passed herself ate him as Sarah Webb, widow. William Tama, the first husband, stated that • the, private led dim such a, devil of a., life, that he was riled to maim her a weekly allowance, in order to get rid of her. Mr. Hates expressed his surprise that a woman other see could lave got two husbands under five-and-twenty. Tattoo—" Why. your Worship, the fact is. I have eve/dense to believe, that I use mar number two in thin business, aad that she has a husband living, whoa she married before I saw her. There are three of her husbands living, and I will willingly turn her over to whichever will take her ; but if she led them such a life as she did me, I shallow eadly.get her off my hands." Mr. ltaaes—." Yoe Minot set rid of her by this prosecution. West you can prole thatehe bad a husband living at the time she married you." Tattoo. And whenever I can obtain proof of that, it will be the bantam day of my life. Owner me committed to Newgste. for trial.

QUEEN-SQUARE. - - - - - Jabs MI6 Powell. a youth, 16 years of age, was brought up fee final thamination before Mr. Glarkoase. charged with embezzling money. the property of his master, Mr. Milk, a carver and gilder, at Queso-Elms, Brompton. Mr. Mills detailed a number of latasees of the rebuke's tub modest in entheudiag small sums of matey. He had done every tbiag in his power to reclaim bins. bat in vain. The soner's 'rigor/ was somewhat singular. as will appear from a document which Mr. Mills banded to the Magistrate, which was as fellows : The prisoner's mother was delivered of so illegitimate child in December. 1615 ; she was afterwards In service with a Mrs. Wild, at Tottenham, and her modest was sock that she was greatly respected by all who knew her. In January, lila, the prisoner then being four years of age, she married Mr. John Knighton, a cabbotusaker in the village. a man much respected for Ms sobriety and industry. The prisoner was then a boy at nuns at Meath:tot ; and I agreed to take the child for a abort time until they got settled. The boy was brought to me on the 211 d of Janury,l6lll. The married couple appeared perfectly happy, and had taken a house with the Intention of commencing business, when, to my tube *stealthiness, they were both found murdered in their bed room, on the 26th of February, 16111, and bad been dead a week. They were discovered by the landlord, who was surprised at the house being closed so many days. From the appearances, it would Wm. that Knighton best cut his wife's threat, and thee destroyed himself. The Jury returned a verdict of insanity. and they were both buried in Tottenham Church-yard, on the 47th of 'January, 11118. The boy being left without a protector, I could only mid him to the parish, or adopt him myself, and I chose the latter. educated Mos. and when of peeper age, told him his unhappy umber% fate, sod took him apprentice.
