CLOVELLY. " Oh ! labonors " 'Wee lodates I " 'The eye ! 'tis fading eve ! bow ehang'd the scene, ling'd with the soft hues of the glowing west ! Dim bills afar, and happy vales between, With the tall corn's deep forrow calmly blest ! More near—the sea, by Eve's mild gale caress'd, And groves of living green that fringe its tide; White sails, that gleam on Ocean's bounding breast And the light fisher-barks that homeward glide, And seek Clovelly's shores of beauty and of pride! ; And bark! the mingling sounds of Earth and Sell: The pastoral music of the bleating flock, Blent with the sea-bird's uncouth melody— • The wave's deep murmur to th' unheeding rock; And ever and anon th' impatient shock Of some rude billow on the echoing shore ! And bark ! the rower's deep and well-known stroke-ft Glad hearts are :here, and joyous hands, once more, Weary the whitening wave with their returning oar I - But turn where Art with grateful hand bath twin'd The living wreath for Nature's placid brow; Where the glad wanderer's joyous footsteps wind, Hid rock, and glancing stream, and waving bough; Where scarce the valley's leafy depths allow The lingering sunbeam In their shade to dwell-ft There might the naiad breathe her softest vow, Or the grim Triton sound his wreathed shell, Lur'd front their azure home by scenes they love so well ! A softer beauty floats along the sky, And moonlight dwells upon the gkaming wave-ft Far off the night-winds fade away and die, Or, murmuring, slumber in their ocean cave; Tall oaks, whose limb: the giant storm might brave, Bend in rude fondness o'er the silvery sea; Nor can the mountain ash forbear to lave Her blushing clusters, where the waters, free, Murmur around her feet their soothing melody Lovely Clovelly !in thy shades of rest, -I When timid Spring her pleasant task bath sped, Or Summer pours from her rethandaut breast Her fruits and flowers along the vale's deep bed; But most when Autumn's golden glories spread, And half forget rough Winter's withering rage, What faker path could woo the wanderer's tread? Soothe wearied Hope, and warn Regret auuage Lo! for firm Youth a bower—a home for lapsing Age! Reims. THE TWELVE DANCING PRINCESSES. PROM ROSCOE'S "GERMAN NOVELISTS?' There was once a King, sho had twelve lovely daughters. They slept in twelve beds, all in one room, and when they went to bed the doors were shut and locked up; but every morning their shoes were found to be quite worn through, as if they had been danced in all night, and yet nobody could and how it happened, or where they had been. Then the King made it known to all the land, that if any person could discover the secret, and find out where the Princesses danced at night, he should , have the one he liked best for his wife, and should be King after her father's death ; but who ever tried and did not succeed, after three days and nights, should be put to death. • A King's son came: he was well entertained, and in the evening was taken to the chamber next to the one where the P: incesses lay in their twelve beds. There he was to sit and watch where they went to dance; and in order that nothing might pass without his hearing it, the door of his chamber was left open; but the King's son Loon fell asleep, and when he awoke in the morning he found that the Princesses had all been dancing, for the soles of their shoes were worn full of holes. The same thin happened the second and third nights ; so the King ordered his head to be cut off. After him came several others ; tut they all had the same luck, and all lost their lives in the same manner. Now it chanced that an old soldier, who had been wounded in battle, and could fight no longer, passed through the country where this King reigned; and as he was travelling through a wood he met an old woman, who asked him whither he was going. "I hardly know whither I am going, or what I shall do," said the soldier, " but I think I should like very well to find out where it is that the Pt incesses dance, and then in time I might be a King." " said Cie old dame, " that is no very hard task, only take care not to drink any of the wine which one of the Princesses will bring to you in the evening, and as soon as she leaves you, pretend to be fast asleep." Then she gave him a cloak, and said, "As soon as you put that on you will become invisible, and you will then be able to follow the Princesses wherever they go." When the soldier heard all this good counsel he deter mined to try, his luck ; so he went to the King, and said Fe was willing to undertake the trial. He was as well received as the 'gibers Had been, and the King ordered fine Royal robes to be given him, and when the even ing came he was led to the ot tward chamber. Just as, he was going to lie down, the eldest of the Prin cesses brought him a cup of wine, but the soldier threw it all away secretly, taking care not to drink a drop. Then he laid himself down on his bed, and in a little time began to snore very loud, as if he was fast asleep. When the twelve Princesses heard this they laughed heartily, and the eldest said: "This fellow too might have done a wiser thing than lose Isis life in this way r' Then they rose op and opened their drawers and blues,. and took out all their fi. e clothes, and dressed them selves at the glass, and skipped about as if they were eager to begin dancing. But the youngest said, "I don't know how it is, while you are so happy, I feel very uneasy. I am sure some mischance will befall us."l " You simpleton," said the eldest, " you are always , afraid; have you forgotten how many King's sons have already watched u. in vain.? And as for this soldier. even if I had not given him his sleeping draught, he' would have slept soundly enough." When they were all ready they went and looked at the soldier ; but he snored on, and did not stir hand or foot; so they thought they were quite safe, and the eldest went up to her own bed and clapped her hands, and the bed sunk into the floor, and a trap door flew open. The soldier saw them going down through the trap door one after another, the eldest leading the way ; and thinking he had no time to lose he jumped up and followed them; but in the middle of the stairs he trod on the gown of the youngest Princess, and she cried DOt to het sisters " all is not right ; some one took hold of my gown."—" You silly creature," said the eldest, " it is nothing but a nail in the wall." Then down they all went, arid at the bottom they found themselves in a most delightful grove of trees, and the leaves were all of silver, and glittered and sparkled beautifully. The soldier wished to take away some token of the place ; so he broke off a little branch, and there came a loud noise from the nee. Then the youngest daughter said again, "I am sure all is not tight; did you not hear that noise? that never happened before." But the eldest said, " It is only our Princes who are shouting for joy at our approach.* Then they came to another grove of trees, where all the leaves were of gold; and afterwards to a th ird, where the leaves were all glittering diamonds. And the soldier broke a branch from each; and every time there was a loud noise,which made the youngest sister tremble with fear ; but the eldest still said it was only the Princes who were crying for joy. So they went on till they came to a great lake; and at the side of the lake there lay twelve little boats with twelve handsome Princes in them, who seemed to be waiting therefor the Princesses. One of the Princesses went into each boat, and the sol dier stept into the same boat wish the youngest. As they were rowing over the lake, the Prince who was in the boat with the youngest Princess and the soldier, said, " I don't know why it is, but though I am rowing with all my might, we do not get on so fast as usual, and I am quite tired ; the boat seems very heavy to-clay:'— It is only the heat of the weather,' said the Princess, " I feel it very warm too." On the other side of the lake stood a fine illuminated Castle, from which came the merry music of horns and trumpets. There they all landed and went into the Castle, and each Prince danced with his Pi incess, while the soldier, who was all the while invisible, danced with them too ; and when any of the Princesser had a cup of wine set by her, he drank it all up, so that when she put the cup to her mouth it was empty. At this, too, the youngest sister was terribly frightened, but the eldest always silenced her.. They danced on till three o'clock in them 3lning, and then all their shoes wero worn out, so that they were obliged so leave off. The Princes rots ed them back again over the lake ; but this rime the soldier placed himself in the boat with the eldest Prin cess, and on the opposite shore they took leave of each other ; the Princesses promising to come again the next night. When they came to the stairs, the soldier ran on be fore the Princesses and laid himself down ; and as the twelve sisters slowly came up, very march tired, they heard him snoring in his bed ; so they said, 44 Now, all is quite safe ;" then they undressed themselves, put away their fine clothes, pulled off their shoes,and went to bed. In the morning the soldier said nothing about what had happened, but determined to see more of this strange adventure, and went again the second and third night; and every thing happened just as before; the Princesses danced each time till their shoes sere worn to pieces, and then returned home. However, on the third night, the soldier carried away one of the gold cups, as a token of where he had been. As soon as the time came when he was to declare the secret, he was taken before the King, with the three branches and the golden cup; and the twelve Princesses stood listening behind the door to hear what he would say; and when the King asked him U Where do my twelve daughters dance at night?" he answered, " 4 with twelve Princes, in a Castle under ground ;" and then he told the King all that had happened, and shewed him the three branches and the golden cup which he had brought with him. Then the King calleti for the Princesses, and asked them whether what the soldier said was true ; and when they saw that they were discovered, and that it was of no use to deny what had happened, they con fessed it all ; and the King asked the soldier which of them be would choose for his wife ; and he answered, 48 I am not very young, so I think I will have the eldest;" and they were married that very day, and the soldier was chosen to be the King's heir. POLICE INTELLIG EN? E. -a.-- MANSION-HOUSE Yesterday, the managing clerk to Messrs. Pyson and Co. solid tors, Lotbbary, came before the Lotto Mayon, at the head of a number of fine tall respectable looking young men, and in their behalf requested a warrant against one John Campbell, who had described himself as belonging to the Royal Navy. The applicants stated, that they bad been introduced to this person by Mr. Currie, the army accoutrement-maker, Regent-street. He was a person of gentlemanly manner, and held himself forth to them as an officer of the Royal Navy, and an intimate friend of Lord Cochrane, whom he was about to join- in aid of the Greek cause. He 'hewed to them a letter,which he said he had received from his friend Lord Cochrane, and of which the following is a copy : _ _ " Gibraltar, June 16, 1826. " My dear Sir—Yesterday I received your letter in a packet sent by Lady Cochrane. lam not sorry for your misfortune, as it is probably a judgment on you, for not accompany ing me to South America, where you would have got riches—sure to get honour. " I hope, now, my brave friend, you will ao longer hesitate to embark in a glorious cause. I offer you the same terms I did before, and shall be most happy of your gallant assistance. Nu in dependent noble-minded man can now succeed in England. Come, my dear fellow, and earn the laurels that are blooming fur you.— Write me to the Crown Hotel, Malta, and let me know if you will join me or not. I will keep an opening for you till I hear from you. " I am, in great haste, my dear Sir, very truly yours, (Signed) " COCHRANE." " Captain J. Campbell, Nu. 9, Lower New street, Stepney." " P.S. Send me, or bring with you, as soon as possible, a few active and enterprising young officers, and two clerks of moral habits and good connexions." The applicants each conceiving himself to come within the latter description, were exceedingly anxious to obtain appointmtntt. These Captain Campbell readily accommodated them with, for the very small sum of 101. each; to those who had been educated as Cadets he gave commissions; one young man educated for the medical profession, he appointed army surgeon to the Patriot Army, and civilians he appointed secretaries, in which situation they would, with more security, advance to posts of honour and profit by their diplomatic talents. From the first he declared his entire independ ence of the Greek Committee, of whom be spoke slightingly, as an inefficient set of mese theorists and literary men. Each adventurer signed a document, the form of which was as follows; " I do heieby engage to he employed, or cause to be employed, the bearer (as Secretary) in the land service of Greece, in the Me diterranean, and the seas connected with the same, provided that he embarks in the ship or vessel which I shall provide, when required to do so, within not less than ten days from the date hereof; and that he be obedient to all lawful commands; and I declare this en gagement binding, to all intents and purposes, as any indenture or other engagement can be. " Given under my hand, this Bth day of September. " JOHN CAMPBELL." The signature of the bearer is in the margin. (Signed, &c. by tbe party) JOHN CAMPBELL. Th D : c tit. kept a counterpart himself. He impressed upon them the ty of making immediate preparations for sailing. The friends of the parties busied themselves in fitting out the youths. Nearly all bad new uniforms provided,some of which were actually sported in Bond-street and the Parks, where they had excited much admiration. They were lined with white, something like the uni form of the artillery regiment, but neater, and were made by Mr. Carrie, the army accoutrement-maker, who warmly recommended Captain Campbell and the adventure. The cause, he said, was glorious, and the prospects for young men like the complainants of the most glowing description. At length the time for their de parture was positively fixed. A yacht was slid to be engaged. Unexpected obstacles, however arose. Thursday, every thing pre vented their starting ; Friday was a day the sailors thought to be unlucky, and it was proper to consult their superstitions. Some thing very extraordinary occurred on Saturday, but Sunday was a clear day---a lucky day—and sail they positively should on that day, the first of their career in the glorious cause. Fortune, however, did not smile on the adventure, for the Captain was arrested, and thrown into a lock-up-house in the city, for a debt of 561. Then it was that the adventurers, for the first time, began to make in quiries as to whether the Captain was a person fit to be trusted?— They learned from the Captain of the trading-vessel in which they were to have sailed, that he had done nothing to secure their passage except the payment of 101. u a sort of earnest, but which, they now believed, was a mere colour. They went to the Captain, doubted his authority, and expressed so much determination that he was induced to give up the letter. They then went to the Greek Committee, to inquire into its authority, and it was at once pro.. nounced to be a forgery. They were satisfied on that head by Major Cochrane. They were now desirous of obtaining a warrant for his apprehen,ion, on tbe charge of obtaining money under fals . . pretences. Tbrre were sixteen of them ready to come forward a witnesses. The Loarnaroa expressed some surprise at the ready etedruce which the Captain had obtained. The applicants represented that the adventure had been spoken of in high terms by Mr. Currie, the army-accoutrement maker in Regent -street, who was a very respectable tradesman. They had, besides, no reason to suspect the letter to be a forgery; and what prevented suspicion on that head, was the circumstance that it had, somehow or other, got the foreign post-mark. The Loan Maros, observing the post-mark, said that was cer tainly a strong circumstance, and be supposed the Captain's defence upon that would be that be had been himself deceived. Mr. Nobler, the chief Clerk, suggested, that as the Captain was in prison, the best mode would be to prefer a bill of indictment against him at once for fraud before the Grand Jury. The applicants were apprehensive, that before that prcceeding could be carried into effect, the Captain would get liberated. The LORD MITOII, under these circumstances, did not hesitate to grant a warrant immediately. The adventurers were all appa rently ardent, active, and able young men, zealous in the cause and desirous of embarking in it at all hazards. One of them declared, that go he would, if he went on a raft. All seemed animated at the prospect of fighting under Cochrane, and from the Captain's success so a short time not a doubt was entertained that upon the slightest signal an army of the boldest spirits might be raised in a week for any enterprise of the kind. One of the adventurer, came from Colchester, where he had heard of it accidentally, and, but that it was represented as a thing which would require interest as well as money, plenty of others would have started with him. Some there were amongst them," the tankers of a long peace and a quiet world." One of them being expostulated with on the barrenness of the pecu niary prospects of the enterprise, replied, indignantly, " money; it is a good cause, and that is enough. Besides, what is the use of staying at home where there is nothing fair a man of spirit to du ?" lie added, that he the difficulties or consequences what they might, he was determined not to be disappointed in his resolu tion to fight on the classic soil. BOW•STREST. Potraassr. —lt baying been stated in the Papers that Edward Sault, alias Edition' Jirvis Toting, the man Who was charged on Wednesday with having married an extraordinary number of wo men, within, comparatively, a very short space of time, was to be re-examined yesterday, the door of the Office was be set from an early hour by a great number of persons, who were anxious to get a sight of the " gay deceiver," and to have an opportunity of lis tening to proceedings so strongly calbulated to gratify the idle and the curious. A little before one o'clock be was placed at the bar. He was dressed as before, in a black coat, light waistcoat, drab breeches, and top boots. He held a handkerchief before his face during the whole of the investigation, and scarcely once looked about him. Miss Whitehurst and Mrs. Gray, the two last victims to the insidious acts of the prisoner, came, attended by bliss Finlayson, the niece of Mrs. Gray, and other friends. Three other females, who were said to have been at different times inveigled by the prisoner into marriage, were also present, but took no part in the proceedings beyond watching them with the most intense interest. Mr. Macdoff, a solicitor, attended for the prosecution, and first called Mns Finla) son to prove that the copy of the certificate of marriage, at St. George's, Hanover-square, between the prisoner and Rachel Pearse, in 1797, was a genuine copy. Miss Finlayson stated, that in consequence of the discoveries be fore described respecting the prisoner, sbe went to St. George's Church, and, with the Clerk, examined the registers of marriages, and found that of which the document produced was a true copy. Mr. John Stratton, a veneer -cutter, in Tottenham-court-road, said, I have known the prisoner four or five years, and have always known him as a married man. I did not see him and Mrs. Jarvis (this is the first wife), married, but I have heard him call her wife a hundred times. They lived in my house about two years, and their soo and daughter lived with them. The son is about twenty.four years of age, and now supports his mother, whom I saw alive and well last Sunday week. Nr. Macnuer said he had no more evidence to offer at present. A long conversation ensued, which ended in the prisoner being remanded till Friday next. It was stated by the officer Ledger, that he bad already traced seven marriages entered into by the prisoner, and added that all the seven L idles were living. Before the prisoner was removed from the bar, Mr. Flack, a per son holding a situation in a Nobleman's family, stated, that just before Christmas last, the prisoner got acquainted with one Sarah Pledger, a cook in a Gentleman's establishment, in Portman•square, who had saved some money, and engaged to marry her, represent ing himself. to be a man of considerable property in houses, Sec.— ' They were to be married within a certain time, and one day the prisoner pretending to be short of cash, borrowed £4 from her, as a security for which he deposited a pretended recede for rent, for a house belonging to him for £9 l 95. 11 d. which house he said was held by one Primrose, and that when she presented the receipt, she would receive the money. It turned out that he had no such house, and that it was altogether a fiction. He obtained £7 front the applicant, who happened to be acquainted with Mrs. Pledger, upon a Bill of Excharge which proved to be fictitious. The prisoner boasted of possessing several houses at Vauxhall and Kensington. He never spewed himself after he got the money. Sir R. BANNIC advised the applicant to keep the document until he saw how the present charges were disposed of on Friday neat. II ATTON GARDEN. George Knight was charged by John Sheppard, shopman to Mr. King, of Chapel -street, Clerkenwell, with stealing from his em ployer's shop-door 71 yards of printed cotton—Committed. As was John Cook, charged by Mr. Lowe Fish, pith enteting his pre mises in Edward -street, White Conduit Field., on Thursday night, poisoning his yard dog, killing four fowls, and taking from the wash-house a quantity of wet linen. MARLBOROUGH STREET. Yesterday, a person was brought in custody to this office, before Mr. Cons we, the sitting magistrate, charged on suspicion of having stolen some carpenter's tools, which were found in his possession the night before, by a watchman who bad stopped him in the street. He said his name was Samuel Province, and that he was in the 15th year of his existence. The carpenter's tools seemed of little or no value, and he accounted for the possession of thou by saying that be found them on one of the seats in a recess on West minster Bridge, where he stopped so rest himself with a load of rats that he was taking home. " A load of what ?" said Mr. Conan.. " A small load of rats, Sir," replied the prisoner. " What, dead rats?" said the Magistrate. " What were you going to do with them?" " Oh, no, Sir," said the prisoner, " not dead rats, but two or three dozen live cats that I was taking home." " Why," said Plank, the chief officer, looking at the prisoner sharply, " you are the chap that kills rats for a wager against the dog Billy." The prisoner said he was the same. Plank now explained a little of the history of this extraordinary animal, who had actually killed 'lOO rats in less than five minutes, beating for a wager the celebrated dog " Billy" at the Westminster pit by several rats ; but what is more extraordinary. he kills them in the same manner that a dog does, going on all fours, and seizing the rat in his mouth, when he seldom fails in one bite to separate the head clean off from. the body. The prisoner nodded assent to every thing Plank bad stated, as much as to say, "you are right, Sir." A Parish Constable, who happened to be present, also stated that the prisoner had been from his childhood a rat-killer. He is em ployed in slaughter-houses, granaries, stables, Gentlemen's houses, Ste. to expel those vermin, which seem to have an instinctive horror of his approach or presence ; for any warehouse or other place that he makes his appearance in, let it have been swarmed ever so much with r. - s before, there is not one to be seen or heard for several days atter his visit, supposing even he does not catch one of theta: they seem to be aware of his approach, by the smell, or some other tmeans ; for the moment he sets his foot in a granary, or slaughter house,aU the rats in the place are heard squeaking and scampering in all directions: be catches all his rats alive, and the instant he gets a sight of one, he pounces on it like a cat, and seizes it sometimes in his hand, but most frequently in his mouth. Ile thinks nothing of thrusting his arm in as far as it can go to a rat-hole, and pulling out the occupants one by one from their beds, and it is by his exertions chiefly that all the live rats are supplied for sport about town. The prisoner listened with a very evident degree of pride and satisfaction to this history of his exploits. Mr. CONANT asked the prisoner himself and the dog" Billy" lived together. He replied riot; for that "➢illy" lived at the pit in Westminster, and he himself lived in St. Giles's. Mr. Conan: said, that it was very well they did not live together ; for if they bad, from the account given to-clay of his rat-killing powers, it was very likely that much rivals's%) and jealousy would prevail between them. As there was no claimant for the carpenter's tools found on the prisoner, and they seemed so valueless, bring quite worn out, be I was discharged. M ABY-LA.BONNE. Yesterday, another chirp of fraud was made aping the per cu 'calling himself Captain Juliet Campbell, who, wader the Pretc"ed sutlicuity Of Lord Cochrane, protested himself commissioned to .elect a few enterprising young Gentlemen, to serve as officers in the Greek navy. A charge was brought forward on Wednesday against the tame party, by Mr. John Edwards, of Belmont-place, Vauxhall. Th e second charge embraces circumstances, in every respect s i m il ar to the first, with this di st i nc ti on, t h at it removes all doubt as to this pretended Captain's intentions, and it has, unfortunately, involved tkis his victim in greater slisappoititipent and tiilficulty. The cir. cumstances of the second- ease-- , were-elao s t si hr. iseelarrefctr' we therefore lay them before the public. ••. ~ • Mr. Edward Wil li am J acques, a youn gGeni4tnen of most re spectable comae:ions, about li years of age, was the complainatiG He was accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. William Henry Gore; of Bouverie-street, Fleet -street. Mr. Jacques stated, that he had been apprenticed to an engraver in Grays's inn -lane, with a premium of 1004 but observing, on the 10th of July, in the. window: of Mr. Unwin,of Ludgate-hill, a placard as follow, : "Wanted immediately; for a particular service, a few active and enterprising nautical officers; and two clerks, of moral conduct and good education ; they will re. quire an outfit of about 501. each ; inquire at the printees.-oo.Neai; printer, Flem-street, Fleet-market," he felt inspired with a deterell; nation to serve the cause of freedom on behalf of the Greeka..4 Tke necessary inquiry having been made at the printer's, be Wag referred to Captain John Campbell, at No. 34, Shoemaker4deri Doctors' Commons, with wh om h e entere d i nto an engagement tO pay 101. and to receive a Sub-Lieutenant's commission in the Greek Navy. lie then solicited his master's permission to withdraw front his service, which lie obtained, without stipulating with him for a return of any part of the premium. A few days afterwards he re.. ceived a letter from Campbell, to say, th .t unless he immediately paid the 101. and signed the bond, he would lose his appointment, foe the whole of his list was filled up by persons of the first distinction and character. Mr. Jacques is an orphan, and has no particular friends in London, but he has a powerful and kind friend in a No. bleman of the highest distinction in the country, who with great condescension gave him his advice in a first letter, and a remittance of XOl. in a second. Thus supplied with finances, Mr. Jacques not only advanced the proposed WI. but he consented, under different pretences ' to lend Campbell 64 in addition • he became also respon sible to him for his board and lodging, and. pledged almost every article he was possessed of for his accommodation ; even his linen is now withheld as security for the charge of washing. When Mr. Jacques became an inmate of Campbell's house, he fund himself the only one on the list. After three weeks a second was added; and, after a month, a third. The list has subsequently been aug. talented to 16 or 17. The two letters from his illustrious friend were handed to arr. Broughton, who said, " These letters do honour to the Noble writer; in the first, he with very great judgment asks you, whether your master approves of what you are doing ? and he gives his own opinion that y.. 0 will gain but little advantage from the pursuit— you then again press your request, and he sends you what you re. quire. You possess a very great treasure in so powerful a friend, and I am sorry the fruits of his benevolence have not been applied to a better purpose. You stand, young man, on the brink of des truction.; the £lOO is gone—th e £3O i s gone — your h ome i s gone —y ou possess a spirit volatile to a dangerous degree; and nothing but good advice, (allowed by good conduct, can save you from unit ruin." Mr. Gore, the Solicitor, said, that his knowledge of the circum stance was accidental; he had known a Mr. Aggs, who ',proprietor of the house in Shoemaker-row, from his infancy, and he introduced him to Campbell about three weeks ago, as a person who bad taken his apartment, and who was appoint e d by Lord Cochrane, under his own signature, to obtain young Officers for the Greek servise. Campbell professes to hold rank in the British navy; there are several of that name on tke list ; but the fact is not ascertained. Mr. BaoucHTON.—Did you purchase any uniforms? Mr..racques--Oh no, Sir, only a second-hand naval coat, which was to he altered, as a pattern for the tailor. My uniform was blue turned up with red, with the Grecian button, the inscription bring —a lion couchant, guarding an anchor. The young man then exhibited a drawing of the Grecian banner, which he said was to he composed of silk, an I was to be hoisted when the vessel set sail. ft was to be square, and in the centre was to be worked a crucifix, or cross ; underneath which a wreath was to be formed around a hand hearing a dagger ; the only inscripdon as yet named was simply this—" Presented by Susan." (Roars of laughter). Mr. IkonGino* said, the statement you have made confirms my opinion, that this is a notorious act of swindling. It is unnecessary for me to grant you a *arrant, because Campbell is already in the custody of the Sheriff, and a warrant, granted upon a former charge, is lodged as a detainer against him. Mr. Gore said, he knew he was in custody under four arrests, and he had yesterday lodged two detainers on civil actions against him ; he also passes under two names, that of Captain John Camp. bell, and that of James Pattison Stewart ; he is between 60 and 7% years of age. Mr. Gore stated, that finding Mr. Jacques in such circumstance, of disappointment and distress, he had given him a home with his family for the last fourteen days, and be expressed a determination to do all he could to serve him for the future. Mr. Baouarrox—Nothing more can be dune in the present stage of the inquiry ; but the patties shall have due notice of further proceedings. We are informed, that, last Sunday week. Campbell sent two other young men, under a similar imposition, to Gravesend, there to bold themselves in readiness to embark on hoard the Royal Char lotte, as she wouil be down the River on Wednesday; for the pur pose of proceeding in a direct course to the place of her destination, anti it is supposed they are still looking out for the good ship, under circumstances of anxiety and discrete. The Royal Charlotte has been shown to the young sailors, by way of excitement; the is a Gravesend sailing-boat, fo► which probably a small deposit only has been paid. She has been caulked, and one action against Campbell is said to be for 204 expended in that operation. When Mr. Jacques visited her she carried a white satin ensign, with a blue anchor at her mast-head, said to be pre sented by a person of distinction in the cause of the Greeks. He could not recollect the exact name. WORSHIP-STREET. Joseph Humphreys, James Smith, Joseph Smith, and Jorph Dolly, all under 14 years of age, were charged with stealing several silver spoons, two gold rings, and a gold seal. Humphreys lived with Mr. Desmond a broker, in Church.street, and being suspected and taxed with stealing the articles, he ad• mined the fact, and said he gave them to his fellow prisoners to dispose of. Through them the seal was traced to the possession of one Jacobs, in Wentworth -street, who had generously given then eighteen-pence for the whole. The officers, on going to the premises of the latter, the husband was observed to pull his arm op his sleeve, and the wife to put ker hand into the cuff. Seising her hand at the moment, the identical seal was found in it. Jacobs was ordered to find bail, and the boys are to be admitted evidence against him. DIED.
