the time of his being taken op; was living with Miller, the butcher, at Camden town. Prisoner quitted her after three days, and she saw no more of him for three : weeks. She ss 7 as married by licence. Ledger, the officer, apprehende=d the prisoner on an assault war rant in Church passage, St. Gileis. A ques!ion was here raised upon the mode of appre hension, and the furrn of the indictment, which set forth 'that the prisoner was apprehended for the felony, which was committed in Surrey, according to the evidence, whereas he was apprehended on a charge of assault committed in Middlesex. The COMM3I4/StROZAIIT directed the trial to proceed upon the merits, reserving the point for consideration, namely, whether the detention which was occasioned by the apprehension for the assault was a sufficient appre hension to answer to the description in the indictment. The prisoner being called on for his defence, began by depre cating the exaggerations and misrepresentations of his case in the newspapers. The COMMON SIMIAN! told the prisoner that he did not believe that the Jury would pay any attention to the statements of news papers against him. Mr. AIN /MEWS advised him not to proceed with such observations, as they were not likely to do him any good. The prisoner declined making any further observations, sod his Counsel called no evidence. Vetslict —Guilty. Subject to deliberation on the point reserved.' The prisoner was again charged with marrying Eliza beth Whitehurst, Rachael Pearce, his first wife, being then living. The deputy pari,h•clerk of St. George's, Hanover square, produced the book of registers, and found, that on the 16th of December, 1797, a marriage was solem nized between Edward Jarvis and Rachael Pearce. John Stratton knew the prisoner, who came from Horncastle, Lincolnshire, and worked for witness about six years ago. He sent for his wife, whom witness un derstood to be Rachael Pearce. Witness kilew she was . called Rachael; he had heard, since prisoner was taken into custody, that her maiden-name was Pearce. They lived in his house four years. She is now living at Clarendon-street, Somers'-town. They have two chil dren, a son, about 24 years old, and a daughter, much older. Rachael is about 63 years old; has seen her alive within these six weeks. Cross.examined.—Prisoner's name is John Jarvis. They lived comfortably together. Elizabeth Firilayson is niece of Hannah Grey. She had extrac•ed the register of marriage with Rachael Pearce, in consequence of what she had h. ard. Saw this woman at Clarendon -street, Somers'-town. Having got the register, she waited on Jarvis, who positively denied the marriage at first, but afterwards admitted the truth. She had not produced the register then. She advised him to take 1001. and fly, if he wi.hed to save himself. The marriage with Mrs. Whitehurst was again proved by the deputy clerk of St. George's, and was 'further corroborated by Mrs. Whitehurst herself. The prisoner now spoke at more length. He utterly denied his marriage with Rachael Pearce, or his tasting acknowledged it to Miss Finlayson. His name • was not Jarvis, but Tolhuni, and he was not in London in the year 1797. The fact wait that he had a cousin, named Jarvis, who came to town in 1790. He it was who married Rachael Pearce, is now residing in North America, where he went shortly after his marriage, and has written to her every six weeks almost ever since. Rachael then went down into Lin colnshire. Prisoner was grieved to reveal a scandal which, but for this unfortunate adventure, would have been an inviolable secret. Rachael and he cohabited together, and had issue, a son and daughter, who were, he was proud to say it, the pride and ornament of so. ciety r but they were not his lawful children. His first and only wife was Elizabeth Whitehursr, whom he was proud to acknowledge as such.—Verdict, Guilty. John T f was convicted of manslaughter, in killing • and slaying Daniel Baker, by striking him and forcing him against the gunwale of a boat at Blackwall, on the 30th of September. It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased were porters at Blackwell; on the arrival of some West Indiamen there, a female passenger was landing, when a dispute took place between the prisoner and the deceased, who fought, and after five rounds Baker died. Verdict—Guilty. Martha Byatt, was indicted under the Act of 8 and 9 William 111. for putting off 12 counterfeit shillings, at a lower rate than the value they represented. George Dutton proved that, by an arrangement di rected by Limbrick and other officers, he procured 12s. from the prisoner, whom he knew, and brought to Grey n -street, Grosvenor.square, and paid for them with four marked shillings, which were found on the prisoner —Verdict, Guilty. The prisoner fell into hysterics, and waiunabk to stand at the bar. She was then indicted with her daughter, Edna Byatt, for a similar offence. Both prisoners were, however, acquitted on this indictment. Martha Hyatt prayed the benefit of Clergy, but a record of a former conviction in 1819 was produced, and the Jury were sworn to try whether she was the same person. They found in the affirmative. Jacob Evans, an elderly man, described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously administering a certain quantity of the decoction of fox glove, on the 25th of October, to Camp Collins, which the said Camp Collins, not knowing it to be a deadly poison, took, and became mortally sick, and died thereof, on the 26th of October. After bearing the evidence in part, Mr. Sergeant A RABIN consulted the Judges, and told the Jury that, however they might regret it, the charge of felony could not be supported in this case, so as to convict the prisoner of manslaughter; it was rather a case of misadventure. The prisoner must therefore be acquitted. He was accordingly found Not allay. The dangerous character of books of this kind is evident. from the prisoner's producing a work, from which he said he tank the pre scription in administered to the deceased. Dual.—An affair of honour took place on Culler coati Sands, no Friday morning se'nnight, between Mr. Kearns., an Officer in the 83d Regiment, and Lieut. Wnovsurv, R. M. The parties fired two shots each, but fortunately without injury to either. we understand the cause of the quarrel was very trivial.—Newcarsk Chronicle At Stagsden, near Bedford, a child of very tender age lately voided a newt, or small lizard ; the family drank pond water during the summer, and the child is supposed to have swal lowed the spawn, from which the reptile bred in its stomach. Saturday morning, as a Gentleman's carriage was returning from St. George's Church, at a brisk rate, lsith a bride and bridegroom who had just entered into the holy itate of matrimony, a fine boy, about four years old, running across Maddox -street, in Regent stteet, was knocked down by the horses, when the wheel passed over his shoulder and part of his breast, which caused almost instant death, in the presence of his mother, whose anxiety in endeavouring to save her offspring (who was a few paces before), nearly lost her own lite, the wheel having grazed her hand, which ran over her child. Mr. JOHN BUM, who was passing near his own house, in Regent-street, exerted himself to save the child, picked it up from under the carriage, and in conveying it to Mr. G A , the surgeon, it ex pired in his arms. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. A INfeeting of the Shareholders and Proprietors of the London University was held yesterday at th- Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of receiv ing the Report of the Counsel appointed to forward the objects fnr which the University is intended to be founded. There were present from 130 to 150 Gentle men, among whom we observed Mr. Brougham, Mr. Home, Col. Leicester Stanhope, Col. Jones, J. L. Gold schmidt, Esq. and many other warm supporters of the Institution. The Right Hon. - Lord AUCKLAND was called to the Chair. The Chairman stated, that the object of calling the Proprietors together was, that of affording a full and complete intercourse between the Counsel and Shareholders. The Report, which the Secretary would read, contained a full statement of the situation of affairs as regarded the receipts and expendi ture, and of the measures which had been already taken for the huilding of the Univenity. The Minutes of the last Meeting having been read, on which occasion the Duke of Norfolk acted as Chair man, but was succeeded by Lotd Auckland, the Noble Duke being indisposed. The Secretary to the Council, Dr. Cox, read the Report, of which the following is an extract : " The Council constituted by the deed of settlement, have con vened this General Meeting, for the purpose of submitting to them the present state of the funds—the proceedings hitherto taken—and the further measures they would recommend for the gradual com pletion of the proposed establishment. Further subscriptions have been received, and the number of shares on which the deposits have been paid, have increased to 1157, in addition to which upwards of 143 shares have been subscribed by individuals, on which the pay ment of the deposit has been delayed, but may be considered per fectly secure. The amount of share. subscribed is 1300. The Com mittee were desirous of obtaining subscriptions to the extent of 150,0001. the smallest amount of capital prescribed by the deed; but obstacles presented themselves, from that diNtrust which the failure of so many undertakings had induced. In these circumstances, the progress of the Institution must have been suspended bad it not been for the aid of several individuals who took the deficient 200 shares, for which they have consented to become responsible, subject to the sanction of the Proprietors to a declaration that the capital of I the Institution shall be considered as limited to the sum G(150,0001. until such 200 shares be replaced by Subscribers to that amount. “ The capital required having been thus provided, the Council were enabled.to proceed in the exercise of the powers confided to them ; they had selected from among the plans submitted to them, that designed by Mr. Wilkins. " They next advertised for tenders for the execution of the works. The lowest offer was made by Messrs. Lee, who engaged to complete the buildings for £107,00*, exclusive of stone orna ments, to the amount of about £3,000. " The Council consider that, after making allowance for any probable defalcation, a clear sum of £loo,oo* will remain avail able for the objects of the Institution ; and they feel assured that, with this sum, a portion of the building may be forthwith erected, for the accommodation of the medical school, and of all the classes composing the more essential parts of a good education, leaving sufficient for the purchase of a library and a museum, and for salaries to Professors. The library, two museums, four great theatres of instruction, and about twenty-six other rooms, affording ample accommodation for the objects Imme diately proposed, will require an outlay, including fittings, of about 50,0001. to which, adding 10,0001. fur the library and museum, and a like sum to meet contingencies, salaries, and other incidental ex. penses, the whole would amount to 70,0001. which, with the 30,0001. already paid fur the land, make up the sum of 100,0001. and to that extent, for the present, the Council would bound their views, not doubting that, as the merits of the undertaking deie loped themselves, additional subscriptions to the extent of 300,0001. the maximum of capital contemplated by the deed of settlement, will, at no distant day, amply provide for the completion of the build ' ings, on as liberal a scale as its most sanguine friends can desire. " The Council therefore propose, that the contracts for the building be entered into in such sub-divisions of it as shall from time to time be required, and be so framed, as to admit of the completing or abandoning any such sub.divisions, upon due notice, at the will of the Council. And the Council now submit to the Proprietors the expediency of their sanctioning the Council in ins. mediately commencing the excavation of the ground, and proceed. ing to the erection of the buildings; for the accomplishment of which further instalments of ten per cent. on the subscriptions, at intervals of six months, will, it is believed; prove perfectly adequate. "Three month* may probably elapse before these preparations can be completed, after which the Council propose an address to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, requesting him to lay the first stone of the building, his Royal Highneis having been pleased to add his name to the list of proprietors, at the same time expressing much interest in the success of the Institution, and announcing his intention of becoming one of the first donors to the library." Mr. SifirllEßD moved that the Report be adopted, and entered on the Minutes of the Committee.—Carried unanimously. Mr. HRNIIT Sass moved a Resolution, to the effect that the 250 Supplemental Shares mentioned in the Report, be recognized. Mr. HICNRY BROUGHAM—Before that motion was carried, wished to say a few words in explanation re garding those Supplemental Shares. There was many Shares which had not been paid upon, solely from acci dental circumstances, and the Council found themselves in some difficulty, as they could not proceed before 1500 were paid upon, out of the 3 000, of which the capital of 300,0001. was formed. The reasons why those Shares had not been paid upon, were these. Some of the parties were abroad, others were out of town, and had forgotten to leave instructions for the payment of the deposits.— There was one individual who held 127 Shares, not yet paid up, but he (Mr. Brougham) was sure that Gentleman's name would be a sufficient guarantee for the deposits—he alluded to Mr. J. M. Dennison.— In order, therefore, to complete the 1500, these 250 Supplenental Shares had been created,and which would answer to a capital of 150,0001. which sum he calcu lated would be all that would be wanted ; at least he should be deceived if such should not be the case. The Council would have been infringing a fundamental principle, if they had entered into arrangements for the prosecution of the wot k, until 1500 had been paid on They were, therefore, at a stand still, when two large proprietors (he should be excused for men tioning their names) J. Smith, Esq. and J. L. Gold schmidt, Esq. having heard of the circumstance, agreed to take the risk of 50 Supplemental Shares each, and too much praise could not be given to these Gentlemen for the liberal manner in which they had acted. Many other Gentlemen also were applied to, bad acceded to the proposition, and thus 190 out of 209 shares had been taken in that way. The Council therefore had to re quest, that the Proprietors would use their influence, if possible, to get off the remaining shares. When the Report had been made public, and when it was known that the important step of digging and laying the foun dation had been accomplished in three or four months, and that in another month the walls would be seen :king, he doubted not that facilities would be afforded to the Council, by the payment of deposits not yet received, to pay off those Supplemental Shares which had been issued.—(Cheers.) The Noble Chairman then put the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Sam moved a Resolution, that the capital of the London University be limited to 150,0001. with liberty for the Council to extend the capital, fruit% time to time, to 300,0001. The Cumsaizm observed, that this motion was coinciding with the limited number of shares which bad been paid upon.—The motion was carried. A Shareholder wished to ask whether it was intended to expend 107,0001. on the building in the first instance? The Chairman answered, that the first contract with the exception of the portico, would be for 56,0001. The contracts would thus be divided, amounting to from 34,0001. to 36,0001. as the wot k proceeded ; that from 9,0001. to 10,0001. had been taken from the contract, as p .....i many unnecessary embellishments, of a luxurious de scription, were dispensed with—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Hums said, that arrangements had beep entered into pith the Contractors, in order that the etrense of l the building might not e s ceed the est i mate . H e knew it was a general complaint that the original estimates made for public buildings almost SI ways were found incorrect, but in the present instance that could not be the case, and this fact ought to be generally known (Hear, hear.) A Shareholder wished to know in what manner the admittance of scholars was to be effected?—Would those who first signed the Deed of Settlement have a priority ? Mr. Baormuest imagined that would be use. The CuAtamAx said, the election would be made in the most equitable manner. Mr.CAmPBELL (the Poet) had to congratulate the Pro. prietors on the aspect of their affairs. They had obtained a most important measure, a locality and a freehold in the neighbourhood of the great Metroisolis. When he first engaged in this laudable Institution,he must con fess he had had many sleepless nights, fearing that they should not be able to obtain a desirable plot for the building ; money, in all cases, was considered to be om nipotent, but he doubted mu ch whether, with 500,0001. in their hands, they would have been able to procure so large a quantity of land as eight acres. This, however, had been attained. He would observe, that the deed of settlement had not been signed by the large body of Shareholders—he requested that they would do this as soon as possible, in order to put themselves on the same footing with other British Gentlemen, who had made themselves responsible in the cause which added honour to every name. _ _ Mr. liaooonam remarked, that those who did not sign could not ♦ote. A short discussion then arose on the probability of there not being sufficient room for all the schdars which might be sent by the Shareholders. Mr. BROUGHAM would be very much deceived if there would not be ample accommodation. He would take those two branches of education in which it was likely there would be the greatest run, via. Chemistry and Natural Philosophy. There wt,uld be accommo. dation in the room allotted for the former for between 200 and SOO students; but should there be 500, it would be easy to divide them into classes of 250 each, and have two classes in the day. He could not help observing on the small amount of the Solicitor's bill ; Mr. Tooke had rendered many services to the Council, and de served much praise. Colonel Jones moved that the Report be printed and circulated among the Shareholders.—Carricd. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that a mast important duty now devolved on the Council—that of choosing fit and pro per professors in the various branches of science; that duty would occupy some time, and it Mould be dearly paying for a few months if a bad selection should be the result of a honied * examination. He thought, how ever, that in eighteen months the University would be opened for the admission of prudent:. Thanks were then voted to Lord Auckland and the Council, for their exertions. Mr. J. L. GOLDSCHIUDT felt convinced that the Council were greatly indebted to the Noble Chairman for his indefatigable env. dons in forwarding the interest of the Proprietors. Thanks were voted also to Mr. Tooke, the Solicitor, and the Rev. Dr. Cu:, the Secretary. After a few words from Mr. J. Sumer. M.P. on the important* of the University, the Meeting adjourned. FIELD•SPORTS FOR NOVEMBER. FROM 7115 ANNALS OF SPORTING. Clad all about with mists, and eluster'd o'er With densest fogs, and vapours of the air, Lo, dull November, like a thing of care, Comes darkly on the world. The trees, before So gaily coloured, are all stripped and bare, And the last ling'ring leaf—it will not flutter more. Yet all's not dreary, there are sunny hours E'en though this courier of the winter comes : What let but joy to sportsmen when, there lours Clouds in the sky, and sulky Boreal; hums, A fitting symphony with southern showers ? 0 then full well the dauntleu hunter knows Dear is the Illont4 to him, delight the gale it blows! November may be regarded as the most busy sporting month of any during the year ; and, because it is so, w•e shall be shorter than usual in our ob ervations here for the present. Let it suffice to say r that every species of game may now be lawfully pursued. and, this stated, we go on to observe that grouse, at this period, will not generally lie well, or, in other words, they will be diffi cult of approach, except, indeed, in places where they have been but little disturbed. Speaking comparatively, we should say that this species of game is the most wary to be dealt with of any, requiring the utmost patience and tact of the sportsman. Woodcocks will, in all probability, be plentiful during the month, as they, made their appearance much earlier than they have generally been accustomed to do. A relation of the writer observed one of these .‘ long billed wanderers" on the 2d of September, in the township of Aintree, a few miles from Liverpool ; and several others were subsequently seen in the same neighbourhood, as well as in other parts of the kingdom. Pheasants, like partridges, have been found very plentiful, and, in general, well grown ; though some small birds have fallen under the observation of the writer, arising no doubt from the parent birds being disturbed in their original nestling, a circumstance com mon also to the partridge. Coursing commenced at an early per iota, and will now be general throughout Great Britain, as well as in the Sister Kingdom also ; though coursing in that country is not so common, nor yet so cultivated and improved as in England. The Irish sportsmen would a l lpear more partial to hunting ; they are, for the most part, fearless riders, and it is, perhaps, more owing to this circum stance than any other that Irish horses leap so well, and are in general such excellent hunters. Fox-hunting will soon become general ; the first Mon day in November is considered as the commencement of the hunting season for the Cheshire fox-hounds, (Sir Harry Maiawaring's ;) the Quorndon (Mr.Osbaldeston's) usually commence a week or two earlier. November is, in fact, Most welcome to the fox-hunter ; although we are sometimes told that it is a Month in which, of all others, Englishmen are inclined to Wear a sallow melan choly, and to make their wills ; this, however, is not, we are quite sure, very applicable to the sportsman. The Leominster Bank is paying a first dividend of es. ed. in the pound. The scene of the New Work (THE Tort HILL), by the Author of Brambletye House, is laid chiefly in England, in the time of HUSSY the EIGHTH, just previous to the commencement of the Reformation, the early symptoms of which are turned to good account, in the imaginary story, which, we hear, is of a very remarkable kind. The extraordinary characters who actually duo. rished in that memorable period. are depicted with much dramatic skill, and made to assist in the developement of the plot. Of these, the most prominent will be found to be Haar the &aim him self, the stately and crafty Cardinal WoLsay. Cremona, of Aa. - tacos, and Anna /3ocisyv • to say nothing of the dissipated " Court railer*" and deba r who sorroomfed the Inactions Monarch. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday, Captain Ramsay undertook for a bet of two hun dred sovereigns to gallop eleven miles in half an hour; and as the feat excited great interest in the Sporting World, some hundreds were pending on it. It was performed yesterday on Ascot Race Course. and betting was five and six to four on time. The Captain rode full twelve stone, and be was allowed a second horse if he thought proper. The first horse was Rmillus, a famous hunter, and he did six miles in nine seconds within sixteen minutes. The second horse was in readiness, and the rider quickly across him.— This horse completed the remaining five miles in fourteen minutes and two seconds, winning the match by four seconds, as three were occupied in the change of horses. PEDESTRI A NISM. Mr. F. West, the great pedestrian, started on Saturday after noon, at fur o'clock, to go on foot to Rye, in Sussex, and bask, in forty-eight hours. The distance is one hundred and twenty-live miles. His first stoppage was at Seven Oaks (24 miles) in four hours, where he ate part of-a fowl, and rested an hour. He laid down at Hawkhurst, in Kent (46 miles) for two hours, and resumed his journey leisurely. He reached Rye at nine on Sunday morning, and returned back to Sandhurst, where he slept four hours, and left himself the remaining fifty miles to do in sixteen hours. He reached Seven Oaks at eight o'clock on Monday morn ing, and at two on the same day he was travelling through Dept ford at a winning rate, and won the match fifteen minutes to spare, without much fatigue, although the weather was against him, and some parts of the road very hilly. The match is considered equal to seventy-hve miles per day, on picked ground. It was for one hundred and fifty sovereigns. MeHrII.WAKEPORD, the Andover bankers, passed their final examination on Saturday se'nnight. ST. CLEMENT DANES.—The election for surgeon of this parish commenced yenerday, with great exertion on both sides. The candidates are Mr. Cosoaava and Mr. RADMIL For some years past there has not been so strong a push as on the present occasion. At the close of the poll yesterday. Mr. Coalition' had polled his opponent by a majority of sixty-three. Mr. SHARD has disposed of his celebrated pack of Stag Hounds, late the North Devon pack, and the only one of pure stag-hound blood in the kingdom. A part of them are game to Germany, and the remainder were purchased by some sportsmen in the neighbourhood of Epping Forest. ADRLPML —The splendid new Barletta by PIAEE, intended to have been brought out at this Theatre this evening is postponed, we understand, on account of the increased ran on The Piles, which is phyed, poeitieely, no longer than this week. Mr. KNAPP, the Clerk of the Arraigns for the Home County, has resigned that dice, and is to he succeeded by Mr. CLAIM, who has so nag acted as assistant to Mr. finstrow. in the Old Bailey. Mr. Keen retains his stake as Associate in the Court of Common Pleas. Yesterday morning a Meeting was held at Cutlers' Hall, Mr. Deputy WHITBY in the Chair, for the purpose of nomi nating an Alderman of Vintry Ward, in the room of the late Mr. Alderman MAiIIIAT. Mr. Sheriff Wnicuesrmi, Mr. Kitty. the late Sheriff, Mr. Wane, solicitor, who resides in the Ward, were severally proposed, and Mr. Csoox nominated himself. The chew of hands was in favour of Mr. Sherif Wnecnerras and Mr. Kitty, who declared they would go to a poll. The election is fixed for Thursday next. TALMA, it appears, was born in the year 1769. We believe in that year were also born Karma's, Pm, Muse; and IWsLunawni. A woman named Bates, has been committed for trial by the Surrey Magistrates, charged with stealing the corpse of a child belonging to a Mrs. Ketch, who had entrusted the prisoner to bury it. Bates contrived to open the box or coin on her way to the church-yard, and took the corpse home, for the purpose of imposing upon a society for relieving lying-in women, of whom she received the usual sums, on pretext th a t s he had been confined, but that the infant died. The empty box was put into the earth by the sexton, who remarked that it was very light.
