Thu fortune which he carries along with him is valued at 80 millions (3,333,33.11.) It is true be was the oldest of his family, end wai entitled to the share of the property of his father, the late M. Charles Buonaparte, who died at BlontpeUer before the Another French Paper says, M. Joseph Buonaparte has resided --- - - . . _ . . in the United States for ten years past; the amount of his fortune is beyond all measure exaggerated ; be is exceedingly anxious to be united in Europe to his wife, whose delicate health renders a voyage impossible ; permission has been granted to him to reside in Belgic ; but he cannot as yet have learned that permission has been granted, for not more than fifteen days have elapsed since it was dispatched to America, where be still remains, and where he dwells as an ordi. nary citizen in tranquillity and honour, under protection of the laws. Last Sunday the daughter of Colonel MURRAY M‘G REGOR was carried off the Spa by an English Of ficer, and although a hot pursuit was commenced within half an hour of the elopement, the fugitives must have gained the coast, and crossed the sea to Scotland. Onc patty of the pursuers arrived here on Tuesday morning, and with the assistance of the Police searched the steam boat, then about to sail for London, but no trace of the lovers was found.—Notterdam Paper. The Frankfort Papers notice a singular instance of presence of mind in a watchman. At the fall of the steeple of Limbers, the man, who was in the gallery, snatched up his speaking trumpet, and warned the people of the approaching accident, by which a great many were saved. Friday evening, as Messrs. Lowry and Stephens, soli citors, Mr. Ralph Young, hardwareman, and Mr. Geo. P s eay, cabinet-maker, were returning from Morpeth to North Shields, in a gig, the horse took fright near Shrepwash, when the vehicle came in contact with a dyke and was overturned. Mr. Stephens was severely hurt, and is exceedingly ill; Mr. Lowry had his collar bone broken ; Mr. Reay's face received considerable in jury, and Mr. Young suffered slightly. Cottoxen's IFtwasts.—Friday night an inquest was held at the Scotch Arms Inn, in Newcastle, before BEN JAPAIN Tou.octi, Esq. coroner, on the body of Juhn Dansna, a chi:d five years of age, whose death was occasioned by a carriage passing over him. It appears that on the Monday preceding, two boys, one of them, the deceased, son of a post boy at the Turk's Head, and the ether son of the ostler at the same inn, went toge ther on a grey horse to the pant at Warn Crook. Hay lox given their horse water, they were just setting out on their return when a phaeton, driven by a son of Sir CHARLES LORAINE, came down the street at consider. able speed. According to one of the witnesses, the car riage horses came in contact with the animal the boys were riding on; according to others, the young Gen tleman who drove the vehicle struck it with his whip to get out of the way, but at any rate the boys fell off, and one of them received su(h injury from the carriage passing over him as to occasion his death, which the Coroner's Jury have said was accidental. Tuesday at Inquest was held at the Anchor and Hope, in Great Chadotte•street, Blackfriars-road, on the body of Mr. Townsend, a Sheriff's Officer. On Monday morning the deceased went to make a caption of a person in Barrett-street, Vauxhall, accompanied by a Solicitor's clerk, to identify the man. He had en tered the house, but discovered that the defendant had escaped by the back premises, and on leaving the house he fell at the threshold in the fore-court. Mr. Wm. Thompson, surgeon, of Lambeth-walk, stated that he opened a vein, but to no purpose, and that the de ceased died a natural death.—Verdict accordingly. Tuesday se'nnight an Inquest was held at the Shoulder of Mutton puulic house, Leeds, upon the body of Chas. Stewart, a wandering mendicant, who hanged himself in a fit of passion, produced by the bugs which dis turbed his repose. A Meeting of the C runty of Air was convened on the 9th instant by the Lord Lieutenant; and Lord GLASGOW being called to the Chair, stated, that the object of assembling the Meeting was to cunsisfer the condition of the manufacturing population in that part of the country. His L. , rdship, after adverting to the inadequate means of employment for them within tire county itself, was sorry to announce that the Commit tees for raising subscriptions both in London and Edin burgh, from whom considerable sums had been received, were now unable to afford fartter supplies, and he therefore trustEd that the Committee would adopt some measure for granting relief to the distressed manufac turers. The Sheriff stated, that he bad, in his official capacity, procured returns of the numbers of unem ployed manufacturers throughout the county, for whose aid he had received 700/. from the Edinburgh Com toittee ; but that it refused to contribute more, upon the grounds that no steps had been taken by the landed etoprietors of the county for raising subscriptions to meet the pressing emergency.—General MONTGOMERIK, the Member for the county, then moved that the Meet ring should adopt certain Resolutions for that purpose, and a Committee was appointed, after which several Members delivered their sentiments respecting the busi ness of the Meeting, and the Resolutions, being read, were unanimously adopted. A French Paper states that the wife of a baker at Lyons had been delivered of seven children. Her de livery was premature (being in the fifth month of her pregnancy); but six of the children were born alive. Nene of them survived their birth many minutes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Therms Annie was charged before MR Loam Maros, With having fraudulently obtained a bill of exchange from John Thomson. The prosecutor, who is a poor illiterate baker, deposed, that the defend. ant came to him to sell bim some Sour, and got two bills from him. on the pretence that the Sour should fallow immediately, but it newer cause, and the prosecutor was arrested fur the amount, thrown into prison and compelletrto take the benefit of the Inuit , vent Act. One of bills was drawn by him en the 17th April, and the defendant bad altered it to the 27th of May. The Chief Clerk said, this was a forgery. The alteration was palpable. The prisoner Annis said, the bills were given him in discharge of an old debt, due to him by the prosecutor. The latter, when it became due, requested further time, and be had Made the alteration at his request. The prosecutor solemnly declared that be had never given any such authority to the prisoner. The Loan Maroa asked a Gentleman, who attended as Solicitor for the prosecutor, what object the prisoner could attain by the alteration ? The a,licitor said, that at the time the prisoner got the bill dis counted, it bad but a few' days to run; and in order to get the money upon it, and other circumstances, rendered the alteration desirable tb him. The LORE MAYOR remanded the prisoner on the charge of forgery. Tats THAMES FISHERY. —John Deer and Wm, Haywood were charged with having used unlawful nets. Rough, the Assistant W ater Bailiff, deposed that he had found the prisoners at work near Fulham Bridge, about two o'clock in tb. morning. They bad got inside of the stakes which the Gentle men Anglers had fixed in that part of th e r iv e r f o r t h e protection of the brood of fish. Their mode of catching the fish was by dis: turbing them with long poles from under the arches, and the holes in which they took shelter—chains were attached to these poles, which made a great noise. The LONE MAYOR condemned their nets. The Chief Clerk announced, as a symptom of increasing pifty amongst thieves, that several of the testaments used in the Justice room, for the purpose of administering the oath, had been stolen. It could hardly be said, he presumed, that they had been stolen fot the purpose of profit, since they were so worn and dirty as not to be even of the value of Waste paper. GUILDHALL Yesterday, Jabs Hadlotn , who had been brought up the day be fore on a charge of endeavouring to obtain money on false pretences, was again put to the bar, and committed to Bridewell for one month, as a togue and vagabond. The Magistrate was induced to take this course on account of the character the uncle of the prisoner gave of him, but the worthy Alderman intimated that some arrangement for his benefit would be made by his friends prior to his liberation. Bow-STREET. Catherine Hatton, a middle-aged woman, in miserable attire, was charged with creating a riot and disturbance before the house of Mrs. Graham, who keeps a Ladies' Boarding School in the Ilamp stead Road, for the purpose of annoying the said Mrs. Graham. Mrs. Graham stated, that the prisoner is in the habit of coming to her house and abusing her dreadfully, because she imagines, quite erroneously, that she (Mrs. Graham) withholds from her an annuity of £2O per annum, which she alleges her father to have left her.— This claim, said Mrs. Graham, there Is not the slightest foundation for. Mr. Hatton, in his will, left this person (the prisoner) a legacy of ‘lO, which she has long since received , and I (her step-mother) have since repeatedly relieved her with sums of money, parely out of compassion; for she has no claim upon me. Catherine. Hatton being called upon for her defence, said the annuity WAS left her by her father, who was a" providore" attach ed to the Commissariat department, under the Marquis Wellesley's Administration in India; and Colonel Shave, private Secretary to the Marquis, was acquainted with her father, and could certity to her respectability, and the truth of her statement. A long and recriminatory conversation here took place, which was brought to a conclusion by Mr. Mixsoutt advising the pri soner, if she had any just claims, to bring an action for the recovery of them, and in the meantime ordering her to give security for keep ing the peace towards Mrs. Graham, and all his Majesty's subjects. One the partners in the firm of Bales and King, gun-makers, in Tavistock-street, gave information at this Office of a supposed swind ler, who is going about representing himself to be " Sir George Cayley, of Brampton House, Yorkshire." A few days ago he went to Messrs. Bales and King's, and ordered a gun to be sent to the King's Arms, at Uxbridge, where he said they were in the habit of receiving things for him, and forwarding them to seat in York shire. He is an elderly nun, of gentlemanly appearance, and assumes a very " free and easy" air in his manners and conversation,and he so far succeeded in deceiving M e ssrs Bales and Co. that hey did not hesitate to promise sending the gun as directed. Upon after thought, however, the informant thought it would be as well if hr were to take the gun to the King's Arms, at Uxbridge, and ascertain if Sir George was actually what he represented himself to be: and be did so • but no one at the King's Arms knew any thing of a Sir George dayley. Of course the gun was not left " according to order;" bur it was sent, addressed to " Sir George Cayley, Bro:np ton ouse, Yorkshire," by a regular conveyance. The result was that they received a letter from the real Sir George Cayley, dis claiming all knowledge of the transaction, and expressing his opinion that it was the trick of some swindler. The informant said he bad been put to a good deal of expense, and be wished to have advice bow to proceed. He was informed that be had no remedy, but by civil action; but if any person answering the description of this man should be taken into custody at any time, Messrs. Bales and King should be in formed of it. Was. Lever, the Deputy Keeper of Ilainult Forest, in Essex, was charged with having capsized the gig of Captain Melville, in the Strand, by improperly driving a cart against it. It was stated by the Captain's groom, that a few days age. he was driving his mas ter's gig along the Strand, when the accused, who was driving a cart well lined with good buck venison, at a rapid rate, struck his cart against the wheel of the gig, and turned the vehicle topsy turvy, and dashed him (the groom) upon the pavement. Mr. Lever denied that the accident occurred from any fault of his in driving; but not being able to convince the Magistrate that he was entirely free front blame in the transaction, he was fined 20s. and 6s. costs.. M A RLBOROUG 11-STREET. Jane Hill and Ann Norton, two respectable modest-looking ser vants, whose hands denoted they got their living by hard work, were brought from St. Giles's watch-house, charged as common street-walkers. _ Richard Burke, a watchman, stated, that the two females were on his beat at Alfredplac.., Tortenham•court-toad, and when he told them to go about their business th t y refused, and he took them to the watch-house. One of the two he had often seen walk ing there as late as two in the morning. A housekeeper at No. 3, told hint a robbery bad been committed there a few nights ago, and if he did not attend to his duty better, s h e would report hint to the Watch Committee. He asked one of them what she did walking there at that hour (half-past ten)? and she refused to tell him. lie told her she must, and that her being there was very nsYste tioll6. The watch-house keeper asked the watchman what was the charge against the young woman ? when the watchman said if he did not receivf the charge, be would report him, and behaved in a most abusive Manner. He very reluctantly took the charge, lest his conduct should be reprehended by the Committee. The two girls are servants to neighbours in the same place — one to a Mrs. Jackson; the otber to Mrs. Chambers. Mrs. Jackson's servant was ; sent on an errand, met Mrs. Chambers's s e rvant, and asked her to wait for her till she returned ; which she was doing. listening mimetic music at Mrs. Jackson's. when the watchman came up, and dragged them to the watch-house. Several Gentlemen deposed to the brutal conduct of the watch man ; one, who saw him dragging the girl across the road in an unfeeling manner. went to the watch-house to hear the charge, when Burke dragged the girl in by her arms, and thrust him out by a violent blow in the chest. Mrs. Jackson had also been struck by hint. Mr. Dena told Burke his conduct had been such, that it did not call for an explanation. His behaviour had been most excessive and improper. Because be had been cautioned to be more atten tive to his duty, he chose to take vengeance on the next that came in his way. At first be intended to suspend him for a month, but now he should suspend him altogether. UNION HALL. Martin the ex-pugilist, who now keeps the Black Horse public house, linkman street. Southwark, presented himself before R. J. Cue -Incas, Esq. on Tuesday morning, for the purpose of bring ing a charged felony against &mid as, one of the Fancy, well known by the name of Dutch ims. After stating the nature of the case, which be said he amid edmitaatiate, a warrant was granted for Dutch Sam's appreiseden, which was given to Pop'', an *fa cer of this establishment, to emote; and the same afternoon the akar took him into custody. when playing at skittles at the Dog and Deck. Green street, Blackhlars. It seems that Sam has been as towns of intimacy with Martin. and from the insinuations thrown' out before the Magistrate. whit Mathis wile also. The latter, it may be remembered, was a young woman of good property, residing at litigate, who was smitten with the appearance of Martin when be was trainiug theft for one of his combats, and after a few difficulties had burn en countered she became his wife; the property, or the greater part of it, to which she was entitled, being settled upon her. —She and her husband have not been latterly quite so amicable as in their courtship, and on Saturday morning last she suddenly absented herself, without stating whither she was going. Sam, it appears, was seen talking with her at the Mop/rant and Castle, and she was afterwards observed setting off in a coach that goes to Reigate. . _ The_ leading facts at present brought in support of the charge. as stated on Tuesday evening before the Sitting Magistrates, are these : Martin deposed that he had lost two five-pound notes, 38 sovereigns, and a coral necklace, on th e morn i ng o f the 11th. tds property he represented at being altogether locked up; and he had since ascertained that the necklace had been pledged at a pawn broker's in the London-road for 15s. From the description given of the person who pledged the necklace, he believed it to be the prisoner. The prisoner admitted having pledged the necklace at the request of the prosecutor's wife, and the money was given her to enable her to go down to visit her relations at Reigate. Sam then indignantly declared that be was incapable of taking the money with which he was charged. He said further, if Mrs. Martin were there, she would confirm his statement. Dick Curtis, who is denominated " the Pet of the Paley," was in attendance on his friend Sam, and suggested that Airs. Martin should be produced, as he was satisfied she would exonerate his friend, if she were present. Something was then said about her address, when Martin re marked that ther e wou ld b e no difficulty in finding her at litigate, but that he should not send for her. Cut tis now observed that he would himself go and endeavour to bring her up. After some further remarks respecting the unlikelihood of the prisoner having committed the felony, he was renkanded, tc give kis friends an opport unity of explaining t he mat ter, through Mrs. Martin. LAMBETH STREET. T. Zinger was charged with forging a check on Curtis's Bank for 26/. I4s. and issuing the same. to Mr. Lingzel, draper of Layton, in Essex, who deposed, that the prisoner brought the check to him, saying, be was pressed for the money, and had not time to go to town. 'Thinking he was the servant of W. Cotton, Esq. by whom it was purported to be drawn, he gave him the change, when the prisoner offered him ss, for his trouble, which he refused. The prisoner then bought 20 yards of cloth, which he paid for out of the change. Witness kept the check ten days, and then paid it to Mr. Strange, of Bishopsgate street, who returned it as forged. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, apprehended the prisoner in Tower street, Blackfriars road, and on searching him found two blank checks, of the description of the one in question. In this stage of the business the prisoner declined any defence, and was remanded. Two watermen, plying at MS er stairs, were fined 201. each, for obstructing passengers in their way to and from steam vessels. NEWCASTLE POLICE. Wednesday, Alderman Somme, the Sitting Magistrate, held to bail John Dickinson, jun. of the Close, waterman, and John Gray, late of Newcastle, hut now of Bly.tb, stovemaker, to appear at the neat Sessions, when they will be indicted fur fighting„ at Sandgate Gate, on Sunday forenoon, with a crowd of about 150 people about them. John Davison, a constable, and also the task-master at the tread-mill, was in the mob, and having refused to take the parties into custody, on being called upon by an inhabilant to do so, has been suspended from both his offices.
