the prisoner's assertion ; and it was afterwards ascer tained that the lead was taken from the Custom-house. The ingot was marked with the initials of W. Taylor, the person who had the care of the lead at the Custom-house. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he found the lead near Billingsgate, and seeing W. T. marked on it, he thought it was the property of his masters, William and Thomas Piper—(a laugh) and be was taken it to their premises when he was apprehended. Ver. diet —Guilty. Thomas P'iillips, a very young man, was indicted for marrying Elizabe.h Duncombe, his former wile, Ann Mafia Viner, being, yet alive. Thomas Coulson knows the prisoner at the Bar, and is father-in-lax to Ann Maria Viner, who 'AS married to the prisoner at St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in January; witness acted as father at the nuptials; Ann Maria Viner, the first wife, is now in Court; the paper pro duced is a certificate of the first marriage. On his cross•examinalion by Mr. C. PHILLIPS, he said, that since the first time of separation between the prisoner and his first wife, she has been living partly with her mother; since his marriage, he has received a small portion. Sarah Booth knows Elizabeth Duncombe, who was married to the prisoner on Easter Monday, 1826, at Stratford-le-bow; also knows Ann Maria Viner, the former wife. . By Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Before the prisoner married the second time, he told the witness and others that the' , first wife was living ; witness nevertheless acted as a bridesmaid on the latter occasion.—The prisoner, in his defence, said, that although he married Viner, she never • acted with that prudence as a woman ought, or the separation would not have taken place. Mr. PHILLIPS called witnesses for the prisoner, one of whom stated, that owing to the misconduct of the first wife, the prisoner once, in a state of distraction, threw himself in the canal, and nearly lost his life: his first wife eloped from the prisoner. The witnesses all concurred in stating that the prisoner was a very moral, humane, and industrious man. The Common SZROWIT summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy. The COMMoN SERGEANT stated, that there were many mitigating circumstances attending this case; for it ap peared, that instead of the prisoner forsaking his first wife, she eloped from him, and her conduct in other respects had been highly improper; while, on the other hand, it had been sworn that the prisoner acted with humane attention towards her. This was one of those -cases where the offender could not be justified, yet it ought never to have been brought into this Court at the instance of the first wife, who seemed to have been the original aggressor. The prisoner had been some time in confinement, therefore the Court would merely pass a nominal sentence—that sentence was, that he pay a fine of Is. and be discharged. The first wife (Viner), a very young woman, sought her expenses, but she was refused, and the Common Sergeant told her she appeared to have been the worst character of the two. The prosecutrix made an ehberate appeal, but her solicitations were unregarded. steed, aged 26, the ex-police officer of Marl borough-street, was put to the bar, charged with felo niously intermarrying with Catherine Ayres, his first wife, Mary Hitchcock, being still alive. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case on the part of the prosecution. He said, that the crime with which the prisoner was charged was, unfortunately, of too frequent occurrence for him to state it at any length. He would forbear from mentioning any circumstance in aggrava- Titus, because he was not quite sure that he could prove it. The Learned Counsel, after some further remarks, called John Ayres, who stated that he bad a daughter, Ca therine Ayres, who was married to the prisoner on the 30th of October last, in the parish church of St. Martin's in the Fields. He had a certificate of the prisoner's first marriage ; he had also a certificate of the second mar siege, extracted from the parish register. At the time the prisoner was married to his daughter be did not know that he was a married Man. He had been paying his addresses to his daughter for two years previous to the marriage. The certificates of both marriages were put in by the witness and read. The first certificate was the marriage of the prisoner with Mary Hitchcock, on the 7th of December, 1818, in the parish church of Sc. James, Westminster. by banns. The second certificate of the marriage with Catherine Ayres was then read. The witness Ayres was cross-examined by Mr. Law: He had heard rumours of a former marriage three 'months ago; he never had any quarrel with his daughter previous to her mat riage. Re-examined—His daugh ter informed him that the prisoner was a single man. George Sargeant examined—He was present at the marriage of the prisoner with Mary Hitchcock; she was at this time in Court, and was pregnant by him. Mrs. Ayres, the mother of the second wife stated, tbatl she always understood from the prisoner that be was a single man ; she never imagined that a public character like him could be guilty of such a crime. The COMNION SERGEANT addressed the Jury. He said the only question was, whether the second marriage was proved, the first wife being alive? The very cir cumstance of the prisoner paying his addresses to a young woman during the lifetime of his wife, was in itself a flagrant offence. The responsible situation which the prisoner held was-a great aggravation of the offence. If they were satisfied of the fact, the Jury must return their verdict seem dingly.—Guilty. James Francis Abbott was indicted for stealing part i of a carding, twisting. and spinning machine, of the value of 144. one smith's bellows, and other articles. The prosecutor, James Mowbray Warren, on getting into the box, requested the indulgence of the Court, as he had no Counsel to conduct the prosecution. He then stated that he was a carver and anatomical instrument maker, and reAded in Augustus street, Regent's Park. his workshop was in China Mews, Tottenham-court- road. The Magistrate at Bow -street, dismissed his complaint, and he afterwards preferred a Bill belorethe Grand Jury without the intervention of a Magistrate. Ou the 22d of July be was sent for, to his workshop, and informed that the prisoner was there. He knew the prisoner before; he carried on business as a broker. Wit. ness found the at ticles mentioned in the indictment placed it, a cart in front of the flume. He demanded by what authority these goods were taken, having distrained four days previous for more than the amount of the debt due ? The distress was put in for rent, at the suit of the executors of Mr. W. Gaskell, his landlord. They distrained for one quarter's rent more than was due. Believed the prisoner was employed by the executors, but he would not :hew his authority. Had not offered to pay the money. The goods had been sold, and the proceeds , applied to the payment of the claim. The goods were taken away openly in his presence. Time was no attempt at concealment. He bought in pan of the goods himself. ' Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHELLtra.—Prisoner seat' to hint before he put in the distress, stating that he would allow him time to pay it before he proceeded to a sale. When he applied to the Judges upon the ' subject, they told him there was no pretence-for charg ing the prisoner with the felony. The Couse.—ls is. quite needless te• ask the ape any ewe . questions. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN then char ra the Jell. He did not call on Mr. Abbott for any fence, and stated, that there was not the slightest evidence of any felo nious action or intention. Mr. 41.bbott had done ever y thing openly and publicly, and the prosecutor knew perfectly well what he intended to do with them. The Jury therefore would, in duty to themselves and the public, discharge Mr. Abbott. The Jury returned • verdict of Not Guilty, without a moment's hesitation, and Mr. Abbott was discharged. Prosecutor—l hope your Lordship will allow me my expenses. Mr. Sergeant AnAßlN—When you go before a Ma gistrate, and he condescends to inform you that you are not pursuing the proper remedy, and that it is no felony, and you, nevertheless, take the person into custody, and privately obtain a bill before the Grand Jury, I should ill discharge my duty to the public, if I saddled them with any part of your expenses. I !hall neither allow yon, nor any of your witnesses, a single farthing. The prosecutor, who appeared quite chop-fallen, now retired, with a declaration that be had no vindictive feeling. William Bates was found Guilty of stealing a box, containing wearing apparel and other articles, the pro perty of a poor soldier named William Williams, who lodged with his family in the same house with the pri soner, who had assisted him in packing, and taking to the coach office the box in question. He was sentenced to seven years' transportation. PARRIANA. 710)1 WM 11W MONTHLY' MAGAZIN& Parr's dislike to puns has been very justly noticed; but I remem ' bee, on two different occasions, that he made a kind of Latin pun. At the first he laughed immoderately : I have seen it since in some publication ascribed to somebody else. He was reaching a book from its shelf, when two octavo volumes came tumbling down upon each other. A volume of Hume's Essays had fallen upon a book et criticism by the Abbe du Bois. " There," said be, with a half suppressed chuckling, " see what has happened ! Procumbit Hues BOB." The other occasion alluded to was when he had a slight cold, and the door and window being accidentally opened at the same time, and a strong current of air having rushed in, " Stop, stop !" said be, " that is too much—l am at present only Paz levibus ventis." I once asked him who was his immediate predecessor in the mastership of the Free School at Norwich ? He said, "it was Barnabas Lenten, an honest man, but without learning, and very' tyrannical in his disposition. He was turned out of his school for having nearly torn off a boy's ear. This man, Sir (continued Parr), pretended to find a derivation for every No in Saiob , German, Dutch, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. No matter what the word was, however culinary or vernacular, be undertook to find its etymology. Coming to pig's petty-toes (a Norfolk way of dressing the feet •of sucking-pir), he was a little puzzled ; but it did not stop him; so be wrote, • Pigs reety-tesp—a dish of which the writer is extremely fond.'" ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS. Mr. ARNOLD attended in his magisterial capacity on Tuesday last, to administer affidavas to the claimants on that excellent Institution, the Royal Society of Mu sicians, (which has existed nearly a century) at its Rooms, in Leicester square. It was a most gratifying sight to behold the aged and infirm Son of Song, who bad by his talents, In the noon of his days, delighted the Public, succoured and cherished by the beneficence of that Public; the Widows and Orphdos, too, are provided for, and no stricken minstrel, who comes with a proper recommendation, is ever `disregarded. Professors of the first eminence are Members of this Society, and they devote a great portion of their 5i,.., as well as a liberal contribution of their mks, towards rendering the coda of the lives of their indigent brethren nom WESTMINSTER PLAY. -..10N. , --_ Yesterday, the Westminster scholars gave their annual treat of a Latin play, to a nunierons and applauding audience. The drama selected was the &macho of Terence, and the youths who put on the sock on the occasion were: Mr. Kynaston as Phobia Mr. Baldwin as Cluemes Mr. Pltillimore . Parmiso Mr. Caper . Doriu Mr. Chamberlain . Thais Mr. Simpson . Dorus Mr. Anstiee . Gumbo Mr. Heatheete . Sings Mr. Jeffreys . Charm Mr. &ranaways . Sophrona Mr. Gwilt . Thraso and Mr. Sutherland • Pythias Mr. Brown . Suites All the young performers entered zealously and cordially into the spirit of their parts, and exhibited in their acting the best commentary on the meaning of their author. As this play is distinguished for vivacity of plot, variety of character, and much comic force of dialogue, the attention of the audience could scarcely have flagged, though it had it been less ably sustained by the actors; but, on the other hand, the cleverness and spirit with which they gave some passages infused into them a degree of interest which they would not have possessed in the closet to common readers. JIMPRIITS, as Chorea, had a great deal to do, and went through his part with uncommon vivacity. Gnatho and Thraso, enacted by ANATICZ and GwILT, exhibited respectable specimens of broad and fanciful humour. In the representation, the objec:ion which a French writer makes to the long introductory soliloquy of the parasite, when engaged in a business that required dispatch, and accompanied by the young beauty who demanded all his attention, be. comes more obviously just than in the reading of the piece. It would be invidious to select any one of the young performers for special praise where all did so well; but we must add to the list of those who deserved and obtained the greatest—SUTHERLAND as Pythias, CHAMBERLAIN as Thais, and BALDWIN as a TCMCS. On several occasions we have exp►essed our regret that these exhibitions, as they are understood to be ex ercises in ancient language, are not likewise converted into lessons on ancient costume and scenic decoration. It would be easy indeed to ridicule the appearance of Parntino in a livery of the most modern fashion at the West End, and Chorea coming from the Piraus as if dressed for a review in the Park; but it would be need less to expose what every body allows. An objection of more force with some, to the representation of last night, is found in some passages of the play that contain indelicate illusions, or in others where moral duties are treated with disrespect. But we are disposed to think that more is said on this subject than it deserves. The students who represent such plays as school exercises, think no more of the tendency cf the verses which they recite, than of the tendency of the tunes in a musical snuff box. A bill of indictment against Master James Michell Winn, preferred by ►Mr. Field, of 80lt -court, Fleet-street, was thrown out yesterday by the London Grand Jury.

Dlr. JISSOP conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Dom.= and Mr. RYLAND the defence. it appeared in evidence, that the prisoner, who was a shoemaker by trade, had married the prosecutrir (who was his second wife), about two years since. They had lived unhappily together, having quarrelled repeatedly. In April last he had been committed to the House of Coirection, in consequence of having beaten her se verely. On Vie morning of the 13th of May, he pur chased a - brace of pocket pistols at Luton, in Bedford shire, and at his request the shopkeeper loaded them with bullets, hp finding the powder ; he was also fur nished with several other bullets. In the evening of the same day, he went to King's Walden, where his wife was then living with her mother. Seeing his wife in the garden, he spoke to her in kind terms, and inquired after htr health? She answered him in the same manner. He then presented a pistol at her Lead, and fired. The ball entered at the nose, and came out at one corner of the mouth. He then ran into a neighbouring wood.— Two men who witnessed the transaction, shortly after-' wards pursued him. On coming up, he presented two pistols, and swore he would blow the brains out of the first man who laid hands upon him. They, however, pursued him about a mile, when he voluntarily surren dered, and gave up the pistols, both of which were loaded. —ln his waistcoat pocket several bullets were found. It was sworn bpone witness, that about three months before this transaction, he swore he would be the death of his wife. The prisoner had been committed for trial last Assizes ; but the wife not having recovered from her wound then, the trial was postponed until these As sizes. She now attended and gave evidence, but did not appear to be materially hurt. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. Several witnesses were called on his behalf, for the purpose of proving that he was of unsound mind. They swore that he was a person of weak intellect, and of a harmless disposition. The Learned Jonas summed up the case, and the Jury found the prisoner Csift Sentence of death was pronounced, and the Learned Jusos told the prisoner that he must prepare to undergo the last extremity of the law. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. James Curtis, of Old Fish.street, one of the Society of Friends, appUed,to the Loss Maros for a summons against a hack. nei ni 47.llo3Ml for abusive language, and other gross misconduct. Loan Memos, upon looking at the Act of Parliament,found that the complaint must be upon the oath of one or more of the parties..that the affirmation in this, u in other penal Statutes, bad not been provided for—and, u be presunsed the complainant would not tabs as oath, the summons could not be issued. His Lordship regretted this, because the public suffered by the inadmissibility of the conspielnant's testimony. 4 Barber, aimed Cleasby, applied for advice under the follow ing circumstances. A few days since, he received a formal docu ment, of which the following is a copy; Crown Once, Inner Temple. " You stand presented in his Majesty's Court of King's Bench, at Westminster, as of Michaelmas Term, for certain nuisances ; and unless you appear immediatelit e o ri l f he aid presentation , process will be issued against you to the of Middlesex. if WILLIAM BELT, " 18.-0." "Clerk of the Grand Jury to the said Court." When be applied to the Office to know what all this was about, because be horse nothing or any mdsance he could be accused of, he was informed, that the “ catah nuisances" of which he had been guilty, was shaving people, so as to make them clean and comfort able on the Sunday, instead of dirty and discontented. He was accused of having done this during the hours of Divine Service. He protested his ignorance of having done so; but some charitable poem having sworn he had, he supposed he must answer ft. Now they told him at the Office, that if he went to trial, win or lose, he must pay 410 in fees, but that he might settle the matter entirely by paying 111 s. £d. Now he wished to know of the Lord Mayor if this was law ? To pay the 410 was what he could not dit, it would be his ruin; and be must be half-starved for more than a month to pay the 1113. What was he to do? The Chief Clerk expressed his regret at the scrape the poor barber bad got himself into, but declared that it could not readily be determined whether the demand was or not legal; it was, how ever, ofildal, and what was official must be presumed to be legal; so be advised the unfortunate man to pay the les. id. or worse might follow. BOW-STREET. Last evening five men, named Snead*, Whaler, (alias Tom the Blacksmith) Quotes, Hedges, and Wilms, were enamined an the charge of being concerned in the murder of William Morgan, a Quarter-master .of the Preventive Service, on the 50 th of July la st. They were also charged with assembling with other persons, with arms, to assist In the running of contraband goods on the coast of Kent, near Dymcburch, on the night of the 6th of August. MINI prisoners, it was stated, formed part of the gang, several of whom have been already committed from this Mice. The evidence now beard was merely a repetition of the former statements, which we have reported at great length more than once. The prisoners were all fully committed for trial. THAMES POLICE. Ames Richmond was yesterday fully committed for trial upon a charge of a shocking offence, preferred by a boy of the name of Robinson, alleged to have been committed on lipard the ship Leafs- der, on her homeward-bound voyage from the Isle of France. The offender was second mate, the complainant steward's boy of the ship. i Letters from the environs of Rome state,. that in consequence of the great rains, the Anio has formed another issue, and that the celebrated easaalles of Tivoli exist no more. Some recent letters from Paris have brought large orders for marine insurances, to be effected here. • Lord de Tabley (late Sir J. F. Leicester) has made an abatement of ten'per cent. to his tenants upon the present half year's rent. A blockade galley was suddenly upset near Lydden Spout station, on Friday afternoon, and one of the crew, John Connor, was drowned. _ _ _ Tuesday evening two Ladies arrived from the country in a post-chai s e, at the house of Mrs. Gibbs, No. 22, Wyndham-street, Bryanstone-square, and their luggage taken into the hall; shortly afterwards, some one entered the house by a false key, and stole a large trunk, containing a shawl worth forty guineas, and other valuable property. From a table drawn up by a Committee on the Pcor Laws, in 1815, and ordered to be reprinted in the present Session of Parliament, it appears, that the money raised for the poor, during 1766, was, to that raised for the same purpose in ISIS, as 17 to 81 ; and from 1785 to 1803, the rate was in the proportion of 21 to 33; and from 1803 to 1515, in the proportion of 63 to 81. The total number of persons relieved in 1803 and 1813, was as seven to nine. , Thus it appears, that the expenditure for the poor bad increased four times in forty years, or bad doubled itself in twenty years. The law expenses of removals, of officers, and other parochial charges, bad increased to such a rate, as to double itself in a period of every 12 years. The increase of paupers, between 1803 and 1815 was nearly one this d, and that of the population of England and Wales, between 1776 and 1815. was gradual from 71' millions to 10,000.000. or about a third. From the abstract of returns made to the Tax °face in 1804, it appears, that the rental of England and Wales was 58,000,000/. and the amount of the real property assessed to the Property Tax in 1815 was 5,..00C,0001. being an increase of nearly one halt in that period. The rate levied in 1814 for the poor, Ste. was ts. 10. i. in the pound, and in 181.; 50.11 d. The population of Great Britain and Wales in 1801 was 10,942,646; in 1811 12,396,503; and in 1821; 14,391,631. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Dm 7.

The appearance of Gaynor gave ample testimony of the heady work of Sharpe. His right eye and mouth still remained dreg. fully swollen and discoloured, and he complained of the soreness of his body, from the repetition of the stomachers, and the heavy fall which he received. Sharpy also 'hewed, without the slightest symptoms of havint fought an hour and ten minutes. His left hand is still a little puffed, but in other respects, is "as good as new."

At all events they should have had the option.

Jaeing 4321. Su less than the receipts of the corresponding period of last year.— This decrease the Report attributed to the improvement of Westminster and Blackfriars Bridges, over which carts and drays could now safely pass. In answer to a question respecting a reported lottery, it was expressly stated that no such idea was ever seriously entertained. The celebrated astronomer, Professor Bode, died at Berlin on the 22d ult. at the age of nearly SO years.— 'He was born in Hamburgb, on the 19th January, 1747, and very early distinguished himself.
