The inquiry into the state of mind of Mr. James King, of Pla.stow, in Essex (son of Mr. King, the emi• vent meat salesman of Newgate Market), was yesterday, after a protracted investigation of five days, brought to a conclusion. It appeared from the evidence, that his father died, about seven years ago, leaving a very considerable real and peisonal property to be equally divided between him and his brother, and that he had employed himself since then in farming and in grazing cattle on hisestate at Plaistow. This he did up to the year 1823 with considerable judgment, but in that year he was seized with an illness, front the effects of which, according to the evidence adduced by his brother, who was the Pe titioner for this inquiry, he had never recovered, but had graivally sunk lower and lower, till at last an entire prostration of mind ensued. Shortly after this illness he became indolent and Slothful to such an ex tent as to neglect attending in the commonest degree to personal cleanliness and appearance, and at this time, and afterwards, performed many acts whith.shewed a want of self-possession. He had heretofore been a ca pital judge of horses, and had kept an excellent stud, but he now purchased many of very inferior descrip tions, and sent them to his stables, where he has suf. feted them to remain inactive ever since. One in par ticular he had. there, which, during the seven years that bad elapsed since he became possessed of it, had never done a day's work. It had, in fact, never been broken in. About this time he went down to Gloucester, and there became acquainted with a female, pauper 9f that place, whom he married, and that on the day of his marriage he took to the Office ,of the Gloucester Jourital an advertisement, stating the marriage, and describing himself as a relative of Lord Hood, and his wife as being the daughter of Smith, Esq. of Friendly Cottage, near Glou cester, and a relative of Major Smith, the nephew of Lord Smith. The publisher of the Paper in question not knowing any such titled person as Lord Smith, asked him if he did not mean John Lloyd Smith, of thit town? to .which he replied in the affirmative, and the advertisement, thus altered, was inserted in the Newspaper. On its appearance he came to the Office, and with great violence complained of the indignity he had received, -and insisted on the whole impression being recalled and republished, and the proper title inserted of his relative by marriage, Lord Smith. It further appeared that he had been in the habit, both before and since his marriage, of describing himself as a man of noble family, as being intimate with the King, ashaving hunted with him, and having been employed because of his superior judgment iii purchasing a flock of Merino sheep for him. He also talked of his ac quaintance with the Duke of Wellington and other Noblemen, and entered into the most extravagant de tails of his own property, making himself out to have immense estates in every county in England, and as being the richest man in the kingdom. In September last,. symptoms of decided and ravinginsanity displayed themselves, and he has ever since been nailer the care of a keeper. A number of witnesses were enandoed. at the instance of the wife who endeavoured to establish that he was sane at the time of his marriage, although it was admitted distinctly that be had be caw insane since. 'The Cosmos Simonys addressed the Jury at great length on this side of the ease, and was replied to by ')sir. &suss?, with his usual force and ability. The CHIEIr COIdiIISSIONItit (Mr. PHILLIMORR) then recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury. after some time spent in deliberation, returned a verdict, finding that Mr. James King had become a lunatic in Decem ber, 1823, and had continued so up to the 18th of September, 1826, enjoying, however, lucid intervals; but that since the latter date, and up to the present time, he had continued a lunatic, without lucid inter vals, and, consequently, was unable to manage his estate Fifteen years ago the tobacco consumed in France amounted in value to 4,800,000 francs ; is sow amounts to above 11,000,000. The poor people who have business to do at the Ses sions, are cruelly imposed upon by men, who act as anomie', or as desks for attornies, but who are, in every respect, as unqualified as they are rapacious. The sufferers are not aware of any available remedy against them. It should be known, however, that the Act of the 22d of Geo. 11. cap. 46, sec. 12, declares, that no , person can lawfully conduct business, prosecuting or defending it at any General or Quarter Sessions, unless he be an attorney, sworn and admitted, of his Majesty's Courts of Westminster, uader the penalty of 504 fir each offence, recoverable within twelve months ; and any attorney allowing any person, not as attorney, in his name, to carry on Sessions' business * incurs a penalty of 501. This provision has slept in the Statute Book, and an idea is commonly entertained that persons are not bound to be admitted attornies of the Courts at Westtninster,to entitle them to conduct Sessions business. In the Northern rivers, not only in Sweden, but in Norway, &c. the natives practise the dextrous method of taking fish, in which the late King of NAPLES was so greaka proficient—namely, harpooning them when attracted by the light of a fire in an iron basket at the prow of.a fisherman's boat for that purpose. In many places the fish thus caught they eat raw, as the greatest possible delicacy. LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 29.—We have had a steady demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales are estimated at 2,000 bags, 700 of which were Egyptians, at lid. per lb. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. In the absende of the ordinary theatrical entertain ments, an excellent selection of ancient and modern music was last night performed, under the direction of Mr. Bishop. The list piece performed was an "Ode to the Memory of the late Duke of Yolk—the music selected from a sacred work composed by Cult:unix' land never performed in this country," as the programme 'of the ernertainment informed ns. The music is full of mind and power, and it was executed in the best style. Miss STEPHENS was prevented, in consequence of a cold, frees performing. Her place was occupied by Miss GRADDON, who acquitted herself with much talent in HANDEL'S air, Let the bright Seraphim. Mr. HAREER'S trumpet obligato accompaniment evinced a perfect mastery of the instrument. Madame CARA. DORI. in MATER'S aria, " Ah the fora in tai moments," rivetted the attention of the audience by the delicacy of her intonation and the truth of her expression. She sarg also with much excellence the popular air, Should he upbraid. Very great applause followed this effort. Mr. BEARADI executed, in a grandly-impressive style, a scene, composed by Mr. BISHOP, the subject " The Battle of the Angels,' from MILTON'S Paradise Lost. We do not know whether this is a new composition; but we are sure that it is a good one. Miss Love was very happy id her execution of WINTER'S plaintive air, Sad my Soul, which was encored. The same mark of ap probation was bestowed on Madame Corteroe's Doke Coacento, which was charmingly sung. The running passages, in which the air abounds, were given sweetly and distinctly ; and the shake with which she terminates the song was firm, even, and harmonious. The cadence was uncommonly beautiful. Mr. PHILLIrs pleased us much throughout the evening—his voice and style re mind as strongly of Mr. Bar.x.mity in his best day. His first song, from HmaDar., !haw and Arms, was most justly encored. He evinced great judgment, and much flexibility as well as power of voice, in the recitative and air from HAYDN'S Creatiox, " And GOD said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind."— Mr. BUZAU sang Dr. Pertisca's Cantata, See from the silent Grove, with commensurate passion. The accom paniment on the violoncello by the veteran LINDLEY was rapturously applauded. Mr. SPAGNOLITTI led the orchestra most ably: Mr. Bison, presided at the organ. The House, we are happy to say, was full. SALFORD SESSIONS, JAN. Z. Japer Wakes (26) was indicted for stealing, on the 14th of December, two pieces of woollen cloth, the property of William Holmes,* Yorkshireman. Mr. Covarnms, having stated the case, called the prosecutor, who deposed as follows s--On the 14th el December I met the prisoner in Market-street. Ile tapped me . on the shoulder, and said, holloa, are you going out of town ? No, I said, lam only j ust coming in. 0, he replied. I know you very , well, have seen you often at the Huddersfield market. I am going, said he, to buy some cloth of Mr. George Booth, in Deans- gate, and asked me if I knew him ? I said I did. You are a clothier, said he, are not you? Yes.—What kind of cloth have you? Some blue and some olive.—Well, said he, as I apt going to lay out ready money, rll deal such you. I said I should be glad to serve him . ; and we went into a public house, and soon afterwards two other men came in, and had a glass of ale. The first lean that came in pulled out a roll of notes, and said his uncle had died, and left him a deal of money. The' prisoner told him that he was going to buy some cloth of me, and recommended him to buy tome too. He r•• plied, that is he bad plenty of money, he would pun chase all the cloth I had. He then asked the prisoner if he knew the Manchester Arms? He said he did.-- Well, said he, if you'll sbew me the place, I'll pay fete glasses round. The prisoner invited me to go with them, and, after much persuasion, I consented. The prisoner said his name was Lewis, and that his sinew kept the Blue Ball, in Hulme, and that a great many. ' clothiers put up at her house. The rich man with the roll of notes, then began to bet for 11. notes. They put 'a penny piece under a jag, and guessed head or tail{, three times out of four. The prisoner won a 11. not and then asked me if I bad any money? I said, I had not. He then proposed to lend me 51. but I refused to borrow from him. Well, said the prisoner, if you hiss not money, you have cloth ; and pressed me much to bet with the rick man. I and the prisoner then went to my friend's shop, where my cloth was deposited, and brought three pieces, which I chewed to the rich man. Instead, however, of making a bargain, he desired us to sit down. He said to us you are all poor men. I said, that certainly I was poor. Well, said the prisoner, if you have not money, you have cloth. The rich man then said he would bet a wager. Ahat we could not thew 101. each. The rich man said he would bet 301. or 201. that be would guess right, three times out of four, and I was persuaded by the prisoner to stake a pieceof cloth. The prisoner then pretended to put 101. into a hat, the rich man pretended to put in SOI. and I staked a piece of cloth. Before the jug was taken off the penny piece, the prisoner proposed to double the stakes. I put down another piece of cloth, the prisoner put some paper in the hat, which he said was 101. and the rich man put in some pieces of paper, that he called SOL The penny was then taken from under the jug, and the rich man won; but he never touched the cloth in my presence s nor did I deliver it to him. The prisoner seeing me' sadly "down" at my loss, said that the rich man should not base the cloth, and pretended to be my friend in the business. He desired me to fetch another piece of cloth, and said he would take care of the other pieces until I returned. I then wrapped up thecloth in a hand kerchief. and leaving the bundle, went, and in about three-quarters of an hour returned with another piece of cloth, but I found the men and the cloth were gone! The prisoner crosa.examined this witness at some length, in order to elicit an admiwion that the wager was fairly won, and that this witness delivered over the cloth to the winner; but, although be evinced a good deal of shrewdness, he failed to effect his object. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, told the Jury, that the question for their consideration would be, whether the prosecutor paired with the possession of the cloth, and handed it over? because, said he, if a party be se duced into an improvident bet, which he loses, and then hands over the money to the winner, although it par takes of the character of fraud, it cannot be constituted a felony.—The Jury immediately found the primmer Guilty. The CHAIRMAN, referring to his book, told him that he had been convicted of a similar offence at the Kirk dale Sessions, of May, 1325, and imprisoned twelve months. The sentence upon him now was, that he be transported for the term of seven years. The prisoner appeared to be stunned by the sentence, and left the bar with a countenance very different from that with which he bad entered.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Miss Sarah Emma Harwood. a genteelly-dressed young tamale, was charged wick firing a pistol at Mr. Randall, a coal merchant, in Friday-atreet, with intent to do him some grievous bodfly.harm. Mr. Harmer conducted the proeecution. The prboster seemed very much affected, MI was accommodated with a chair within the bar. It appeared that Mr. Rzndall firmed an acquaintance with her in the street about li months ago, and an intimacy followed, whilft continued until a flew weeks ago, when he thought it comenient to break off the connexion. On 'Thursday 'venni. on leaving Ms redden., be found her waideg for him. He asked her what she wanted? which she replied to, by asking him what he wanted ?

Mr Jima !seam announced Ids intention to send her to trial, but remanded bee fee one week. BOW-STREET. Dummies hiss Stsausia.—Yeeterday a Mr. Walker, of Pal mer's Greta, applied for assistance of one of the aeon to trace, if paean*, a pair of valuable carriage hones, which were stolen frau his premises early yesterday mowing, at the above place. From the finished dexterity with which the robbery was performed, it is strongly suspected that it must have been done by some person ac quainted with the premises and property. After breaking into Mr. Walker's place, and securing the horses, in order to make the thing more complete, they took a pick-axe Irons Ms barn, broke into the stabile of a neighbour, and took off two saddles. _ _ _ Sir R. Bam;"ta 'ordered Gardner, an active officer, to attend Mr, Walker. to Smithfield and the repOsitories. Mary Vain, a child thirteen years of age, and the daughter of a laundress, was charged with having feloniously pawned some shirts, the property of one of her mother's customers. It appeared that the child bad unfortunately got connected with several women of I bad character, and had been seAuced by one of them to commit this act, the proceeds of which was afterwards spent at a public-house. The pawnbroker was severely blamed by Sir RICHARD. Maim, for having received from a child of so humble an appearance skirts that were evidently of too fine a quality to belong to any member of her own family, and observed, that when the case came before a - Jury, he would probably appear in &very unfavourable light in the eyes of the Court. Upon further inspection of the linen, when the ease was again brought forward, it appeared that the shirts had been only rough dried, and must therefore have bees taken from the prisoner's mother before being ironed; whereupon Sir Hamra as: referring to the Pawnbrokers' Aet, passed In the 46th Gem 111. the following clause was found :—" If any person shall knowingly buy, or take in as a pledge or pawn, or in exchange, any linen or apparel which shall be entrusted to :my person to wash, scour, Ira', ftoish, or work up, every Such person shall forfeit double the sum given or lent, to be paid to the poor of the parish where the offence shall have been committed, and shall be obliged to restore the said goods to the owner." The Pawnbroker declared his utter ignorance of such a clause having existed, and in consideration of his having In the very first instance offered to deliver the goods to the owner, and as it did not appear that at the time he received them he was aware of the state the shirts were in. Sir RIC/USD HUMS excised him from the pay. merit of the penalty, warning him at the same time to be more Uw tiOUS in future. The child was committed to the House of Correc tion for a mouth. The existenceof the clause above quoted may not be generally known, in which case it will be important to pawnbrokers to take notice, that it applies not only to linen, but to all goods in an un finished state, by receiving which in pledge they subject themselves to a similar penalty, upon information being laid before any his &tate: MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday the never-ending source of complaint at Police Offices, Mary Anne Prove, better known by the tide which she has coo. (erred upon herself, of 4, Lady Bartrynnore." was brought before Sir G.

H er L a dy s hi p , on t hi s occa d on, demeaned herself as became a Lady in her situation : for, instead of kicking and plunging about in the Offee, as she was wont to do, she appeared so completely abashed, that she literally, incredible as it may seem, blushed, on being placed before the Magistrate, and to conceal those blushes, she held a handkerchief before her face. On being remonstrated with by Sir Ganapa on the ruinous course the was pursuing, she fully acknowledged the justice of the rebuke, expressed her great, and no doubt sincere sorrow, for her offence, and her determination from that moment forward, to re-• train front all improper conduct, and above all, to abstain front „spirits of all kinds. bit G.
