INTREPID CONDUCT OF A NAVAL OFFICER. In November, 18i 5, while the Emulona sloop of war was laying in the harbour of Port Royal, Jamaica, the cry of " a man over board': was heard in the gun-room. tttr. John Moon Potbury, then a midshipman, was sitting there at breakfast, and beating the cry, leaped upon deck through the skylight, and plunging into the sea with his clothes on. saved the life of the acting clerk. In the preceding month, at Curagoa. he had saved another fellow creature by jumping into the sea aftgr him.. During the year 1817, he saved the lives of three persons in Hamnaze ; and in January, 1820, when the, Lee's boat upset in the Sound, he swam with a midshipman grasped in one hand, to the island. Shortly after this, while the Lee was saluting in honour of the King's accession to the throne, a seaman, named Turner, was blown by one of the guns into the Hamnase, when the adventurous young midshipman again plunging instantly into the water caught him as he was sinking. The unfortunate seaman, although one of his-arms had been blown off by the gun, and he was senseless, grappled with his gallant shipmate, who did no relinquish his exertions to - save him till he was dragged by the drowning man two &thorns under water. This last-act obtained the attention of the Royal Humane Society, by whom he was presented with a vote of thanks on the 15th of Nay, 1822. This record obtained for the young aspirant the honourable approval of the Admiralty, by whom be received an appointment, and on his arrival in the Ran Indies was made a lieutenant. On his passage out, near Madeira, he was mainly instrumental in saving another life ; and it also appears by the New South Wake Gallen*, that he and Mr. John Kingconte, first lieutenant of the Tees, plunged into the sea from the ship after the purser, who unfortunately however was drowned, notwithstanding their united I efforts to save him. uniformly At the last meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, Mr. &Lie communicated an ancient code of instructions to the Portreeve of Westmirster, and the civil officers tender him, relative to the sale of meat, poultry, &c. in that city. Among other curious items in this document are the following ; All tainted meat, seized for having been offered for sale in that state, is ordered " to be dis tributed carefully and seasonably, among the poor"— ' Every butcher who-did not bait and exercise his bull before he killed him is to he amerced ; butchers are to be fined 2s. for every piece of meat, under a quarter of beef, offered for sale on the Saturday, which bad been offered on the preceding Thursday. Mr. KINDALL, the Master of the ship Frances Mary,- his wife, and the female passenger, who were among the unfortunate persons saved" from the wreck of that ship by the BLONDS, have recovered sufficiently from their emaciated state, to set off for Liverpool, to winch port the ship belonged. But we must call the attention of the feeling and benevolent public to the case of three of the seamen, who endured such intense hardship and suffering as to be yet in a very weak and debilitated state. The money which has been so liberally offered by the seamen of the BLONDS cannot be received until that ship is paid wages. These men, therefore, are at present wholly dependent for present support on the li berality of those who can feel for fellow-creatures so providentially rescued from a miserable death, and may be disposed to render them assistance to reach their re spective homes, which at present they are incapable of attempting.—Hotrpshire l'elegraph. An order has been received at Newgate, from the Secretary of State's Office, for the enlargement of Ca therine Ferris, who has been several months under sen tence of death for the robbery of a Mr. Marsh, in Wentwurth-street ; her innocence being clearly proved, by the acknowledgment of some other girls, that they were the perpetrators of the act, and that Ferris was perfectly innocent. Mr. Marsh, however, being now a lunatic in Sr. Luke's Hospital, justice is, for a tome at least, suspended with regard to them. Monday, a person of the name of Brown, a miller at Waddon, near Croydon, cart ied, at Waddoa Mill, for a considerable wager, three sacks of flour, twenty yards, with but trifling fatigue. They were lashed together, and raised by him from other sacks ; which, consider ing his weight, oily lOst. Sib. is . without equal, we believe, in the spirting woad. A marked improvement in the state of the lace-trade in Nottingham and neighbourhood has taken place.— Fine nets have, during the last fortnight, met with a ready sale at somewhat better prices. Breadths, of all descriptions, have been in demand—fine 11, 12, and 13 point have been most in request : of the two latter qualities, much more than all the trade can produce would be quickly taken off. Upon the whole, the pros peer is mote reviving than it has been for some months. CObII'IMATIoN Case.—. Yesterday a Jury assembled at the Three. Tuns Tavern, Southwark, to assess the damages in an action brought by the Rev. Thomas Snell, Rector of Windlesham, Surrey, against the Hun cited of Woking, to recover compensation for the de struction of some premises by fire, by the hand of an in• cendiary, on the morning of the 271 March last. It appeared that on the morning in question, the barn, stables, and outbuildings, belonging to the Rev. Gentle man, situated at Windlesham, were destroyed by fire, by whom it did not appear, although a reward of 300 guineas, which was raised by the gentlemen in the neighbourhood, was offered for the apprehension of the incendiary. George Hatfield, a servant to the Rev. Mr. Snell, deposed that the barn was detached from the outbuildings. About three o'clock in the morning, he was awoke by a great light ; he jumped out of bed, and saw flames issuing front the barn, which seemed to be on fire inside. The outbuildings presently caught fire, and they were burnt down as well as the barn. Every means *ere used to prevent the flames from spreading to the buildings, but ineffectually. There was even some difficulty in preserving the residence, and hot ses and carriage. There was a back .door into the barn, through which a prison might enter, unperceived, and set the wood on fire that was in the barn. A gentle man, named Allen, who lodged near the Parsonage house, on the night in question, said, that being unwell, he paced up and down the room all night, and saw the fire break out at about three o'clock in the morning. The fire seemed to have commenced in the barn.. Two carpenters estimated the damage at 2581. 3s. 3d. For the J- fence it was contended, that them was not sufficient evidence to prove that the fire was occasioned by an incendiary. The Jury, however, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Two Hundred Pounds. The Dahlia Evening Mail concludes an article on the Report on the Kildare street Society, with the following striking statement . " Were we to show the mere poli tician the advantages of an early study of the Sacred Volume, we would refer him to the :mums of the Sun da,' school Society. From an inspection of these, he will find the state of the country, as to peaceableness, g. ad order, and loyalty, on the one hand, or to riot, intemperance, and insurrection, on the other, completely graduated to the prevalence or absence of Sunday Schools, and their system of Bible reading in the several districts. For instance, in Ulster, 1 in 16 of the whole population attend the Sunday Schools; . in Leinster, 1 m 86 ; in Connaught, I in 193 ; in Munster, 1 in 354 The barometer is hardly a nicer scale for the weather, than the system religious instruction is of the affec tion of the peopb, to tile GOICIIIIIICI3t and its unions." CONSPIRACY OF BAZAN. It is stated in a late number of the Etoile, that by the papers found on BARAN and his, companions, in . the recent attempt at insurrection in Spain, " among other projects, it was discovered to be the intenti-m, in the event of the fortunate result of his enterprise, that the Government of Spain should become a kind of regency or directory, composed of ROMERO ALPUENTE, and' other violent Jacobins. " It never appeared to us that the plan of Bazar: was so matured, and the statement, id far as relates to Romano ALPUENTI, is positively contradicted by that Gentleman, noiv an exile in this country, who de clares that he never knew the BAZARS even by sight, lor heard of their expedition, until informed by t public papers that it had failed. On the subject of losing a violent jacobin, he denies the calumny, an thus boldly and honestly avows his sentiments and his service?. "During thirty two years (he says) T was a judge In the superior tribunals, and held the distinguished situations of Fiscal of the Court of Valen cia, Governor of the Criminal Courts of the Chaniery of Granada, and Vice-Regent or Senior of the Court of Madrid. I Was always hostile to despotism, and in conformity with these sentiments, invariably attacked arbitrary measures; and how often has absolute rule attempted to destroy me, although constantly foiled by the strength of public opinion. As a Deputy of the Cortes I uniformly maintained the rights of the nation and the prerogatives of the constitutional King, until I was imprisoned for defending them. The discipline of the primitive church, as regards the Pope and other points of religion, were always more esteemed by me than the present order of such things in Spain ; and I suggested many plans which, had they been carrrielinto effect, would perhaps have saved the public.and religious liberties; and yet none of them em braced violent measures, being entirety composed of justice united with clemency. If this conduct is that of a violent kicobin, I ac knowledge it, and trust that I shall continue so while I live." On the 26th of January, a fire broke out at Mobile, in the lower tenement of Captain Durres res store on Alabama wharf. The Banns spread to the adjoining tenements, when the whole of them blew up by au explosion of gunpowder. About 40 persons were knocked down,and were injured by the fragments of the houses. POOR RATES.—Nearly one hundred persons were sum mand in Brighton, last week, for nonpayment of their poor rates; and between 30 and 40 distress warrants have, we regret to state, been issued against defaulters, some of whom have been accustomed to move is a respectable sphere of life. These measures have been deemed by the directors and guardians absolutely necessary in order to procure sufficient funds for the maintenance of the poor. There is at present in Nottinghamshire a Rev. Gentle man, in the full enjoyment of health sod spirits, who has for seventy. three years held a Rectory in that county. This venerable man is the Rev. Was. Law, who resides at South/tell, is 97 years of age, and is Rector of D unholme, in the neighbourhood of Newark, to which be was presented in the year 1733. A most singular and fatal occurrence took place a few days ago at Hodphrove, in Sussex—a man, in the employ of Mr. Frualza, while engaged in sewing seeds, scratched a pimple on Ms nose, which caused the eruption to bleed profusely: his nose and face then commenced swelling to such a (tepee that be could scarcely see his way home. In shout half an hour afterwards be lost his sight; and the swelling continuing, in spite of every at tempt to prevent or mitigate it, to make head, at length pervaded his whole system, and three days afterwards the poor man expired. CONSCIENTIOUS Evinarroz.—Ann Morris, of Bishop stone, Hereford, having been brought before a Magis trate, for stealing a rail-post, Margaret Morris, her aunt, in whose house she lodged, offered to swear that, within the tight years daring which her niece had lived with her, the had never seen her niece bring any stolen arti cle into the dwelling. On cross-examination, she con fessed that she had been blind for upwards of 50 years. At noon-day, Friday se'nnight, eight one-horse nits were drawp op in the high road, in the neighbourhood of Hastings ; and, the blockade-men being placed under, arrest, and persons being prevented from passing, - bi large bodies of smugglers on foot and horseback, 200 tubs of spirits were landed from a boat, stowed into the carts, and safely carried off. The smugglers wore masks, and carried fire-arms. • A number of benevolent individuals, in the town of Halifax, have united to alleviate the sufferings of their unemployed fellow townspeople, and have already dis tributed upwards of six loads of oatmeal, and nearly twenty loads of potatoes, as well as money. • At the Collegiate Church in Manchester, on Sunday and Monday week, the number of man rages was 35, and of christenings 151.. On the same days of the last year there were 68 marriages, and 198 christenings; mak ing a deficiency in numbers of marriages 26, and of, christenings 47. The number of unemployed weavers in HaMilton now amounts to 500. Mr. Brown, factor to his Grace the Duke of Hamilton, continues to give employment to numbers, in digging and levelling. HINT TO A GOURSIAND.—A few raw leaves of parse ley, eaten immediately alter dinner, will speedily re move that disagreeable taint which always infects the breath, after partaking of onions, garlic, or shalots. Tza*waz TRova.—An imperfect statement ap peared in the Papers, a short time back, respecting a quantity of gold coin found in the neighbourhood of Monmouth. We subjoin the feets as ascertained by our correspondent on the spot, and they are these:—About two months since, as some workmen were cutting the new road that goes from Ross to Abergaveany, through Skedfrith, one of them struck his pick-axe into an old iron pot in the bank, and broke it. Several gold coins instantly tumbled out, and the fellow, after helping him-. self plentifully, decamped, and has never since been heard of. The coin left consisted of SO jacobuset, and 150 smaller gold coin, of the reign of Jamas 1., some of the size of als. piece, others as large as a halfguinea, and others of an intermediate size. The Duke of 132AUe bat', as lord of the manor, made no claim, as it has been erroneously stated; but Mr. JOSE, ' of the Craig, - who owned the land %here the treasure was found, had it valued, and presented one-third to the workmen. SWIFT.—At the period of my boyhood (says O'Keefe in his Recollections), SWIFT'S memory was recent; he was greatly beloved and revered in Dublin. There were many signs of him in canonicals: they were called the Drarier's Head, from the signature of his letters against Wpora's halfpence. Amongst a multitude of benevolent actions, he lent small sums to tradespeople, to be repaid at a shilling a week, five pounds the greatest sum ; which pumice laid the foundation of many a for- tune obtained by industry, and was the support of numerous families; but one neglect of the shilling a week payment, no more money was lent to that person. Whenever the Dean walked out, the people followed him with shouts of blessings, and the children held his cassock. My early passion for the drama made me like Swier very much, from his having been a friend of GAY.-4.4Veut Monthly Magazine. FlRES.—Sunday sennight, a fire broke out in a thatched cottage at King's Itipton, which was entirely burnt down, but most of the furniture, &c. was saved.—Friday evening an alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Bisset', currier, in Woolnionger street, Northampton, and from the nature of t h e materials, &c. in...irresistible was the progress of the flames, that the whoir of the interior of the workshop, and the upper part of the divellinkbouse, were consumed before any check could be given to the devourin g element. Lately a fire broke outdo the White Engine Water Mill, on Leverington Common, Bedfordshire, and in consertuence of its being built with wood, was is a ter7 *WI time berm to the roam!, r POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -••"..-. , BOW-STREET. Movit.me!--John Stably was yesterdlly Itiorting brought be fore Sir Ittenxim i3tena, the sitting lagistrate, charged by Lloyd, a watchman, who stated that on Sunday morning, about two o'clock, while going his rounds, be met the defendant and about fifty others, standing against Illy. Rewbottem's door, in James. street, Covent• Garden ;he civilly desired them to move on," when Stubbs came forward from amongst them, saying. " Yon d-4 old Charlie,if you do not move on, uric you as I did one of your set in Monmouth-street, St. Giles's." Then suiting the actitm to the word, be salted the complainant most grisly, pum melled him right and left, and then - getting him on the ground,' kicked him most severely ; nor was it till a host of the blanket coated fraternity, summoned by the rattle of the succumhent Lloyd, put the rioters to flight, that the complainant was able to recover a perpendicular posture. Stubbs being called on for his defence, denied the charge in leo, saying that he was rendering his aid to the several watchmen col lected.—The statement of Lloyd, however, being confirmed by Everitt, another of the watchmen, the defendant was held to ball. Mien Powell was fully committed far stealing one cotton handkerchief, value 25. from the shop of Mr. Christian, draper, in the Strand. N. less than nine persons were brought up, charged with being found " lying dead drunk in the streets on Sunday morning," Oven of whom were journeymen tailors; one of them had taken such a quantity of the "imperial" as to require two watchmen and two of the patrol to convey him on a shutter to the watch. house. They were all discharged on paying 2s. each. The driller of a hackney coach appeared upon two summonses issued at the suit of Sir J. Stevenson, the celebrated asusical com poser, for exacting more than his fare, and being drunk and abusive. Sir J. Stevenson stated, that he hired the defendant to drive him a distance of less than a mile, and when he got out the latter charged him four shillings! Seeing that he was beastly drunk, he took him into a shop, and there paid hint the four shillings, at the same time telling him that be should be punished for extortion.— Upon this the defendant abused him. The coachman apologised very humbly, and said he would t at have offended the Gentleman for the world if it had net been for the confounded drink. His contrition, whether sincere, or what he himself would call "gammon," had the effect of lessening his punishment, for he was fined only in the lowest penalty of 10s. and coots for each offence. HATTON-GA RDEN. Yesterday, a woman was brought before Mr. Lama, charged with having violently attacked and robbed a young female named Stanley. Miss Jane Stanley stated that on Sunday she had been out to spend the evening with some friends. On leaving, she called a c oac h, and desire { to b set down at the corner of Wilderness-row, St. John's-street. On alighting and taking out her purse to pay the coachman, she dropped a shilling, upon which the prisoner and two men with her came up, and ail three behaved to her in a manlier almost unparalleled. She became much alarmed, and therefore did not attempt to pick up the shilling, but made off as fast as she could up Wilderness-row, when on reaching the most dreary part, th e I prisoner overtook her, and with a horrid oath demanded her money' to procure some gin. &fore she could give her what she demanded she struck her such a heavy blow that she was knocked down almost insensible. The prisoner when she had her down, knelt upon her stomach, and held her with one hand, whilst with the other she raised her clothes, and deprived her of nil the silver she possessed— viz. Bs. 14. at the same time using the most dreadful threats. —After the prisoner had rifled her dress in every part, she tore her sable tippet from her shoulders, and having seized her muff also, she ran off as fast as she could. Witness shouted out " Murder r"The prisoner threw down her tippet, and a watchman the neat moment stepped her, when she * dropped the muff. After the prisoner had Wm secured, witness took another coach, and went home, when sbedisteverni that her pocket strings had been either cut or broken, and Ism body much bruised. Mist Miss &why was giving her testimony, the prisoner used the mist laraftbg language, and the Magistrate ordered her to be locked up Ione" dark hole." William Knapp, a watchman, stated, that on hearing Miss Stanley call out " Murder !" he ran towards her, and met the pri soner running; be caught hold of her, and kept her till theprose tutrix came up. Harris, the watch-house-keeper, produced the IssuffnadtOpet, both of which he t*elved from Knapp, the watchniark Cber were swam to by Mieilfatiley.—She was committed. M&RLBOROUGH-STREET. Just as the oSce was about to close yesterday, a diminutive female, about fifty years of age, and of a very uninviting person and face, accompanied by a man nearly six feet in height, of no pre possessing aspect, approached the Bench, and addressing the Magis trate, said—" Please your Worship, I want to know if a marriage celebrated in a private house in Dublin by an Irish Roman Catholic Priest be a lawful and binding marriage in this country, because I believe it is not." The Magi!trate asked if the officiating person was a regularly ordained Clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church? Her Male companion answered in the affirmative. The little woman then bustled about her pocket for some time, and at last produced a piece of dirty paper, which she handed to the Magistrate as a certificate of the marr iage of which she spoke, and signed by the Clergyman. The Magistrate thinking that she was speaking all this time about her own affairs, asked if that was the certificate of her own marriage ? " Lord bless you "'said she, " not at all: it was not me that was married, but this g ood man here;" pointing to her sullen friend by het side. " The thing is this, yoUr Worship ; this good man, who is a pensioner, married a woman in the way I mentioned, an d she is coming over now to claim part of his pension, and I want to pre vent her imposing on the poor dear man, because I am sure the marriage is not good." The Magistrate, wishing to learn something on the subject from ' the pensionertinuelf, asked-him what his object was in wishing to ascertain the legality of his Marriage in Ireland ? " Why, bectuse; replied the pensioner, new for the first time raising his brow, " you see if that ere marriage in Dublin be no good, I wantauf marry again immediately this here little woman by nosy side." The Magistrate said, he suspected there was something more than saving the pension in the view of the applicant from the zeal she displayed; and told her, that a Magistrate could give her no as to the carriage she spoke of being legal, but advised her, opinion e wished to ascertain the point exactly, to apply at Doctors' Commons. Then, said the little woman, as she retired, with a disap pointed countenance, the poor men will lose half his pension. A youth of respectable appearance, named- Within, was yesterday charged with having been concerned with another, named fretch, in robbing his father of twelve sovereigns. The daughter of Air. Wilkie, wbo resides in Castle-street, Long-acre, said, that her brother came home on Sunday evening about eight o'clock, and be directed her to inform any person who called for hint, that be was not at home. Her father and mother were then absent. He WI been in the house only a few minutes when Welch knocked at the door, and requested to see her brother. She informed him that he was not at home, but be kept her in conversation a considerable time at the doer, and then her brother came down stairs, and they went away together. On returning to her father's apartments, she found the bureau had been forced open, and the money gone. She was positive Welch was the person who calk& for her brother. Mr. Welch said, that his son bad net returned home since Sunday night. The prisoner, in hie defence, declared that he was at home at the time he was stated to have been in the company of young Welch. He was remanded till Thursday. Auuacious STalar ROIIIIIIG—In tbe course of the morning, a Lady entered the Mice in considerable agitation, and stated, that a few minutes before, as she was passing through Great Russell. street, two boys snatched her reticule as it hung pendent from her arm. The violence that they used snapped the chain asunder, pan of which was left in her hand. The reticule contained eight sovs. and some other monies, an order for money and several important papers. It further appeared, from the Lady's statement, that ebe followed the young rascals into George street, St. Giles a, where they Sew for refuge and were protected, and from which place she was glad to retreat. She gave a description of the boys, but the Akers despaired of ever discovering them. DIED. In Pußeney.street, Bath, aged 64, the Rev.

The Magistrates adjourned the cafe until yesterday, to give time for the production of witnesses: Mr. Shoe's servant-maid then deposed that nn person was suf fered in the house, nor any liquor drawn during the hours of Divine Service, and nothing of the kind could have occurred withqut her knowledge.

Byrne said, the books had been pledged at different pawnsho,•, In Dublin, front which be bought them, in the hope of turning tt•rm to a profit, for the demand was so little for them in Ireland tit.: they were to be bad for a mere trifle, so that even the very• low price at which they sold in England yielded him a tolerable profit. The appearance of the books, the mark of the fasteidog of the pawntickets on tbe'covers being visible on most of them, in some degree confirmed the prisoner's story, and The Magistrate said, as no evidence app e ared to throw discredit on the prisoner's statement, they were emitted to their discharge.
