BBAR BAITING AT BOULOGNU. TO THE EDITOR Oft THE STAR. &moos; sus Mu, Mamas it, 11146. tilt,-.-A disgraceful exhibition of one of the most !erocious animal fights that has ever Outraged civilized laciety tank place here lately, and as 4n idea prevailed among the F`rersch that such brutal sports ate " the popular and favourite amusements of the English," 1 am anxious to vindicate my countrymen resident here from such a charge. The fact is, that when this Bear Baiting was announced, a subscription was commenced by several English Ladies, in order to indemnity tt•e Pruprie,or o' the Bear for the expence incurred in its purchase and conveyance hither, on the condition of saving it from what is justly termed a:brutal persecution —unto, tunately, however,- the subscription was tom menced too late. The expression of British feeling on this occasion, together sith. the following very just and spirited re .fl!ct loos on the subject, which appealed in the Boulogne .41Guin, have, hoot ever, had one good effect, that of procui in_! an assurance on the part of the French autho rities, " that no further exhibition of such disgusting scenes vtillobe again permitted within their jurisdiction.' f llos ios is the article from the Boulogne Album. to which I have alluded.-1 am, &c. " It is .t the express desire of several English Gentlemen, that we should publicly express how unfounded and untrue the impres sion is, that these Russian-sports are in the taste of the English ge nerally ; and to state also, that the late disgusting exhibition was neither wished fur or promoted by them ; and that several names were even inserted in the subscribers' list without leave of the par ties—some of whom entertain the greatest and most marked abhor rence to a practice so base—and that many Gentlemen had put down their names, thinking it fur the charity only,' (as really in tended by the Ladies' subscription afterwards projected, so highly to the honour of our female competitors sbroad,) of purchasing the bear for a deserving man., without the idea of a rams Su far front being a general feeling of the better classes of society in England, the contrary is the fact. And we would observe, that mess who really and truly can derive a pleasure fron► coolly and deliberately seeing an unoffendiog animal tied to a stake, for the purpose of being lacerated and torn to pieces by hrocious dogs; and to see those dogs, who were trained by their more cruel masters, lacerated and mangled in all the horror we have described; (the description gives true in every part of its detail,; as it is, it could he but now a needless har rowing of every benevolent feeling to repeat) silents, by the plea sure they experience, their ruling passion to be cruelty.' The Editor . concludes by recommending his fair countrywomen, in his warm- hearted appeal to their ever anticipated sympathy, that evety wo man should turn with disgust from the voice, and shrink from the touch of the man who can pay her so ill a compliment as to derive as great, aini pet haps greater pleasure, front deliberately causing, and enthusiastically witnessing, the blood, cries, and excruciating agonie of living creatures, as in the charms of her accomplishments and the delights of her society. Men who are really cursed with cruel pro.. pensities, should ue hunted to herd in their own circle of similar spirits--out of the pale of civilized society." • Mr. EJlzasu, the proprietor of a Menagerie on the Continent, having lost his entire collection, as well as a large sum of money in qiecie, in a vessel shipwrecked on the Dutch coaat, subscription bad lira) made both among this French and English to afford him the weans of forming a new establishment ; under which idea another ,ollectinu was set on foot, by which many were misled, fur Jarmo, as well as buying for hint, a very fine 0 darer bear!" CHAMBERS AND SON'S BANKRUPTCY. Yes'erday . a Meeting of the creditors of the estate of Messrs. Chambers and firm was held at Guildhall; Mr. Tooke, in the Chair.—The creditors were called uFon to alaboriae the . sak of the Opera House, the estates which the bankrupts had possessed at Enfield Chase, Windse4 at(oriisitkother property or interests as be. binged t 6 ihe"fiankropis' estate, by private contract or by public st.iction,as tile assignees might deem expedient. Mr. Hismarne, solicitor, objected to the sale of the King's Theatre by private contract. He drubted whe ther it would be in their power to sell it by negotiation; it was of a description which might fetch 150,0001. et not one-third of that sum, according to the mode in which the sale was conducted. He propo.ed also that no other properties, which exceeded 2,000/. ea.th iu valoe, should be disposed of in the same manner. Mr. MAvOlw submitted that it would be highly in jurious to limit the powers of the assignees in the man ner proposed. That very day a proposal had been made for the purchase of the King's Theatre, which, could net be disclosed to the creditors at large, for that would be to make it known to all the world. Advantageous proposals might beexpected, if they could be received vivately, as many persons would not treat at all if the negnciation was public. Mr. HAMILTON said, that the sale must receive the sanction of a Public Meeting ultimately. A Colonial' said, they ought not to throw any impediments in the way of the sale,by restricting the power of the Assignees. The course proposed by Mr. Hamilton would be productive of great injury to the property. The original proposition, for giving the assignees full power to sell the King's Theatre and the other property, by public auction or private contract, was ultimately carried. Power was also given to the Assignees to manage the estates and law suits in the most ad. vantageous manner for the creditors. It was agreed to give Mr. Chambers, sen. the house at Padding ton in which he live., the ground -rent of which was equal to •the rack-rent, and the furniture, worth about 5001, at the diseretton of the Trustees, and that he should receive an allowance for the ser vices he might perform to the estate. The lease of the house oc cupied by Mr. Chambers, jun. in Alfred-place, North Crescent, and the furniture, altogether valued at 1501. was given to him ; and one of the assignees recommeded the creditors to sign his certificate, as he had acted in the most satisfactory manner. Dispatches were received yesterday morning at the Colonial Department, from Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir G. L. Cote, G.C.B. at the hlauritiusl. iletter received from Corfu by a distinguished Greek in this country, dated Feb. 17, states that NIKITA 3 had intercepted, in the defile of the province of Leondari, a corps of Egyptians on their route to Tripolizza, es corting seven hundred mules laden with provisions and ammunition. Many of the Egyptians were killed, and the provisions taken. At the Sussex Assizes, on Tuesday, William Comp ton and Jesse Coleman were convicted of assaulting and maltreating Mr. James Pagden and his wife, at Hales ham, on the Bth of February, with intent to rob them, and sentenced to be transported for life. The particu lars of this case appeared in the STAR at the time. KING'S &sou PRl3oN.—Yesterday a further inves tigation. of the charge against Mr. Latouche, a ruler in the Ling 's Bench, of maliciously firing a loaded pistol at a watchman named Barker, took place at that prison, bet-re the Marshal and Mr. CMAM/11113, the Mag - I:atr, when no evidence of malicious intention appear it wars recommended by Mr. Cummins that he .!could be discharged; but the Marshal thinking it ne ces,ary to deter others from similar conduct,. decided On his timber detention within the walls.— Gee. Berme, Jima avers:one, Wst. Hirdasan, were then charged with robbing Mr. Mooney, who went to the prison to visit a friend, and was introduced to the prisoners.— Liquor having been sent for, at Mr. M.'s expense, he complained that he had not received his full change of a sovereign, when the prisoners advised him to count Lis money again: blowing the candle out, they knocked M. down, upset the table, and snatched up the whole, .. about fourteen pounds. , The .case. stands ad journed for further evidence. AtIOtIcTION,THE RICH limns& YURTHIR PARTICULARS. It was more t an suspected that Mr. Wakefield when he had, a, he thought, accomplished his object in Scot land, bore his fair charge direct to France; and this fact was established beyond a doubt in two or three days by the receipt of a letter from him, dated Calajs i and addressed to Mrs. Turner, in which he stated that he had married her daughter, and taking all the blame of the transaction, as far as if over•persuasion" went, added !hat Miss Turner was fondly attached to him, 'and that it should be the anxious endeavour of his life to promote her happiness by every means in his power. Stilt however her friends were of opinion that she had yielded rather to coercion than to persuasion, and that if any opportunity offered she would gladly return to her afflicted mother; and they de:ermined to use every ex ertion to give her that opportunity. Her paternal uncle, Mr. Turner, accompanied by his son and their solicitor, pasted to London, and immediately on their arrival sought an interview with Sir IL BIRNIE, the Chief Ma giitrate of Police, who, on hea►ing the circumstances, entered at once warmly into the fellings of the parties; and said he would most willingly give every assistance in his power, but he much doubted if he could ►ender them ally material service. He had not, he said, much diffi:ulty in sending his warrant to any part of England, but he feared he conld not do much on the other side ut the Channel, although his authority laid sometimes been respected even there in cases of a highly crimin.ll nature—such as forgery far instance. After some con versation, Sir It. Birnie said if they could procure any aid at the Foreign Office in the shape of.a letter, to any of the authorities in France, he would not hesitate to give them the sea vices of one or two of his ablest officers. They went to the Foreign Office, and obtained a letter from M. Canning to the B itish Ambrssador at Paris. Thus armed, they recut ned to the Chief Magi is trate, who, directed Ellis, one of the principal oflicerc, to accompany the gentlemen to France, first instructing him to act with the utmost Caution and delicacy, it he should succeed in finding the fugitives. They pro. ceeded to Calais, and had scat cely landed when they saw the objects of their search walking together on the Pier. They immediately approached them, and Miss Turner, the moment she saw the party exclaimed, " Good Gun here is my uncle," and leaving the side of Mr. Wake field she sprang into the arms of Mr. Turner, kissed him mot aff ctionately and burst into tears. A warm conversa-ion t lok place between Miss Turner's relatives and Mr. Wakefield, and the latter having learned that it *as their intention to take her back with them to England, declared that she was his wite, and that no earthly power should deprive him of her. Mr. Turner,hoe ever,was firm, and Mr. Wakefield then appealed to the civil power for protection for him and "Iris wife," and was attended to, the Authorities stating that they could n .t suffer a Lady, even young as was Mi,s Turner, to be forcibly taken away from the person who claimed her as his wife, unless she gave her full and free consent. The question was then formally rut to Miss Turner, as to' whether she would go with he r uncle or not, and she ex claimed eagerly," OA 1 yes, I will go with my uncle anyi where—anything to get away front thisinan (Mr. Wakeri field). lam not mart ied —I am not his wife at all—l war taken away and brought here against my will entir!lj. I have been dragged from my friends ; by force." Wakefield hod no reply to make to such a declaration as this, and the French police saw no occasion for furis l Cher interference on their parr. Some questions were then put to Mr. Wakefield by Miss Turner's relatives, and he declared that he considered himself lawfully married to her, but said that the marriage had •never been . consummated. He mein farther, and gave a written declaration, that Miss Turner was, as respected him, " a putt and spotless virgin." H: said that they had plighted their troth to each other, and acknow ledged each other as man and wife in the presence of a third person in Scotland; and that, according to the laws of that country, constituted a legal mar riage. We omitted to state, in the early part of this narrative, that Sir Richard Birnie was anxious to 'I send two officers, but Ellis only was at hand. At midnight of the day on which the application was made, Taunton, another officer, arrived from a country j urney ; and he bang m ell acquainted with France and A* language, he was ordered to follow the parties to Calais with all speed. He arrived there soon after the other., and after the enquiry before the Police, he watch ed Mr. Wakefield to his hotel, and found that he in• tended instantly to proceed to Paris. It was then agreed upon that Ellis and the Messrs. Turner should Conduct the young Lady to England, while Taunton and the Solicitor should follow Mr. Wakefield to Paris, and there, if they could obtain the permission of the French Government, apprehend him and bring him to this country, it being the determination of the other parties to enforce the utmost rigour of the law against him. The Messrs. Turner and Ellis, with the young Lady, arrived at Bow -street, within forty-eight hoots from the time that the application was made, and she is now safe under the roof of her doating parent. She states that she never saw Mr. Wakefield until he drove up to Mrs. Dolby's door, where she was visiting, near Liverpool, and that when they had traveled a great distance she inquired anxiously how it was that they did not see her uncle, who, Mr. Wakefield had said, was to meet her on the road. He made various excuses, and at length, in answer to an inquiry, he said, 41 Keep quiet, my dear, when we cross that stream that you see, we shall be stue so see him." They stopped in a short time, and then Mr. Wakefield disclosed his views to her, and ander the influence of terror she con sented to acknowledge him as her hisband. He then took her to Calais, scarcely suffering her to speak to any one. She declares solemnly that she was the whole time under coercion. It is, as we learn, certainly true, as Mr. Wakefield said, that the simple ceremony which he described, does by the law t.l Scotland con stitute a marriage, but it is only legal provided the parties be above the age of 15 years, and it happens that bliss Turner now wants about one month to complete her 15th year, so that the ceremony was, to all intents and purposes, nugatory. Mr. Wakefield's age is 42. Count Ltevam arrived at Beriin horn London on the 11th inst. and immediately proceeded on Ms way to Bc.Pvtersburgb. The D orama still continues a favoirite retort, and it certainly merits the attention of the public. The views are ex cellent, particularly that of Rosalyn Chapel, which is extremely beautiful and picturesque. Accounts from Hamburgh, mention the detection of most extensive frauds en the Underwriters of Lloyd's. Seven persons were under arrest at Hamburgh, and lure or four at Oldenburgh, under charges of this kind. It appears in one instance that a foreign vessel iron, Harnbdrgh and Altona to London, was sunk by the, Master, off Boskum. The packages were found to be fictitious, and instrances to a large amount were made., AS SiZt I . gTELLid't Net YOriN t MAACK Si. tLANI ti. JOHNSON AND LAYTON. this was an action to recover the sum ef 601. paid by the plaintiff to the defendants, under the following circumstances: Mr. MOLT stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiff, Miss Clark,,in the year 1818, became the mother of an illegitimate child, and before her confinement was re• quired by the defendants, overseers- of the parish in which she resided, to indemnify the parish against the child becoming chargeable at any future time. The plaintiff, unwilling to expose the father of her child, raised the sum of 601. which she paid to the defendants. The defendants placed it in the Scarborough Bank, and paid the plaintiff the interest of the m tney till the year 1822, when the Bank failed. On that occasion - the de fendants received a dividend of ss. in the pound, amounting to 151. 16s. Sd. which they had paid into Court, and thereby reducing the plaintiff's claim to 451. 4s. 91 The child has never yet been chargeable to the parish. The cause had been tried at the last Assizes, and under the direction of the Learn. d Judge who presided on that occasion, as well as the present, a verdict had been found for the d4end.ints. The opi nion of his Lordship had ben since over-ruled by the Court of Common Pleas, and the cause h been di rected to be submit ed to a Jury. The evidence for the plaintiff having fully established the case stated by Mr. Holt, Mr. SCARLET? addressed the Jury for the defendants. Mr. Justice 13Avottr, in slimming up, observed, that there was no qut.stion for the consideration of the Jul y. He was not b fore aware that his opinion had been over ruled'by the Court of Common Pleas, but had no dif ficUlty in stating that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, as no evidence had been given that she had offered a bond or any other indemnity to protect tl e parish against the child becoming chargeable. He therefore directed the Jury to find (or the defendants. Mr. Note signified that he should tender a bill of exceptions against the direction of the Learned Judge. The Jury seeming to hesitate in fallowing the Learned Judge's direction, a proposal was made by the defendants Counsel, and agreed to by Mr. Holt, to refer the whole matter to Mr. Patterson. —Referred accordingly. George Mach(ll Jackson, a boy apparently about thirteen years of age, was put to the bar, charged with uttering two forged one pound notes, purporting to be notes of the Saddleworth Union Bank.. The circumstances of this case were as follo* :—The Proprietors of the Saddleworth Union Bank received a parcel of blank notes (ram their engraver inLondon,some time in last autumn. On opening the parcel they found l that twelve notes had been taken out of it. The prisoner WAS Eying with the person who kept the coach-office at which the parcel had been left; About the middle of October the prisoner carried two notes to different per sons, to ge: them changed. These notes turned out -to be part of those taken from the parcel. The signature had been supplied, and the blanks in other respects filled up. The signatures were proved to be forgeries. The prlso .ner acknowledged that he took the notes out of the par cel on the road-from the coach•office to the bank. In :doing this he destroyed the direction, but, having a i en in bis pocket, he wrote another. Verdict, Gailty.:.-.Death. The Jury and theittosocutors strongly remain piney.

' William Dixon ' curate of East Atchley, proved the marriage of the prisoner with Sarah Milne, on the lith of November, 1813. Sarah Rubinson proved that she bad been married to the prisoner at Maplewell, two years ago. They lived at Maplewell six months, and then witness went to Ledsham. On her return, the prisoner's first wife had joined him, and she beat witness with the tongs. Cross-examined—Prisoner and herself had lived as man and wife for some time before marriage. Two more witnesses proved both the marriages. The prisoner was found Guilty i and Mr. Baron Hut.cocc sen tenced him to six months' imprisonment. LIMERICK. Connor Gawen was indicted for the wilful murder of John Breene, at Drumin, in the county of Limerick. James Breene, brbther of the deceased, recollects the fair of Drumin, held in September, was in company with his brother, the deceased, at the fair. Connor Gawen and his party came up to witness's brother. They had stones and bayonets. Connor Gawen had in one hand a blunderbuss and in the other a stick, with a spear to the end of it. Connor Gawen, the prisoner, And his party knocked the deceased down and tram pled upon him. They beat him severely. He died on the following Sunday. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Coantet.t..—Witness is not a four-year sad; he was not sworn in by the three-year old or the four-year old party. Witness heard of the four.year old—it was the four-year old party that witness was of—(A laugh.) His party met the morning of the fair, at Tallavin 7 hall--(A laugh.) They marched from that to the fair ; there were eighty there; there might have bean 250; there might have been even more; there might have been 1,000 mea of his party who had thai day gone to the fair. They went to fight, of course—(A laugh.) They marched over four miles of ground in good order. lie will not say that there were fifty shots fired at the fair. Jack Carroll was killed on that day. Carroll was one of the three-year old. Witness's brother was considered a four-year-old. 'So that on one side a three-year, and on the other a four-year old was killed. Witness had not a gun that day. lie only had a stick ; a good stick seldom missed fire—(A laugh). He has seen Mr. Thomas O'Grady and the Rev. Mr. Coke►. He wet them at Tedamere. He did not assist in beating them. He would not beat a parson for the world—(A laugh). He went with the four-year old parts on one occasion to Soft. lie went there, but there was no fight after all--(A laugh). He went to the fair of Drumin the day of the -•- when his brother was killed. There was great fighting. were shoes fired, when he faced them all--(Alaugh). Here the case closed for the Crowe, with the evidence merely of She surgeon, who proved, that in his opinion the deceased died in 'consequence of the wounds be had received. • The Jury returned a verdict—Gui/ty of Manslaughter. • The Learned Juno; in passing sentence upon t►e prisoner, la smoowd that a degree of depravity prevailed to that extent which , yak the people of that part of the country indifferent, in too many eases, as to whose blood they shed. They attacked each other at fairs and at markets like wild beast, and took away life itself seem ingly withoatregard and without remorse.

The letters received from Buenos Ayres persist in the statement that, BOLIVAR will assist with his forces ilk cause of Buenas Ayres against the Emperor of BRAZIL. They add, that General MILLER, of the Colonihia n army, was expected at - the forrner place on the 6th of January; but we do nor think this is at all conclusive, ~as neral MILLER has some time been expected . -..... • lASMONAntg Ittrtititlikta.

EXIMAORDIMART Fox-Ctrace.—Saturday,' Mr. POWs tat found a fox at Cbintham, near Basingstoke, which, after t • a large run through the neighbonsing coverts, returned to the spot where he was found. Finding he could not shake eff his pursuers he tried what speed and bottom would do, and accordingly threaded all the woodlands from the Vine to beyond Readley Commis, near Newbury, where; after a desperate run over the heaviest and most inclosed parts of the county of Rants, he was obliged to yield his brush te his gallant pursuers, after a splendid run of between three and four hours. It was considered by sportsmen to be one of the most severe trials both for bones and bounds, ever witnessed. Out of a large field only three or, four were to at ,the death.
