GREEK COMMITTEE AT PARIS. An account has been published of the amount of con tributions for tke Greek cause, collected and managed by the Greek Committee of Paris. It embraces the sums placed at their disposal, and extended by their order, horn the commencement of 1825 to the middle of the present year. It appears from this statement ' 1 that the subscription from Paris and from the Depart ments, up to the 31st of December, 1925, amounted in all in 239.649 francs, or 9.6001. sterling. The Com mittee, out of this sum, gave 6,688 francs to General Roche and his family; expended 70,616 francs in an attempt to esublish an arsenal and a corps of artillery; disbursed in clothing and other materiel 75,000 francs mote, and paid 4,600 francs for the maintenance and education of five or six young Gieeks; besides other items uhich we have n'.t enumerated. The receipts of the Committee during the first six months of the present year amounted to the considerable sum of 651,867 francs, which, added to the balance of last year, raised their funds to 727,996 francs, or about 29,1201. The following is the manner in which this fund has been disposed of: fr. c. Expences connected with Gen. Roche's first mission 2.625 72 Balayte of the first mission - - 8,368 75 Ditto second - . - 49,400 80 Expenses of the third - - - 38,114 31 Ditto fourth - - . 29,756 15 Mission directed by M. Rynard - . 195,000 Education of the young Greeks - - 7,739 Farietices of management - 5,042 99 Sundries - - - - 3,266 60 3 - .9,294 32 In hand, with the exception of accounts since opened 388,701 96 727,996 28 Among the donations of individuals, we find several that are munificent and princely. M. Gabriel . Eynard, of Geneva, subscribed, in 1825, the sum of 25,000 f. (or about 1,0001. sterling); M. Casimir Perier, the Paris banker, 6,000 f. or 2401 ; and the family of the Duke of Orleans, in two benefactions, 27,000 francs. The amount collected from door to door by the Ladies of Paris, was, in the first six months of this year, 129,881 francs. The Committee, by the detailed statement, which we have not room to insert, seems in most instances to have made a judicious application of 'the means placed at its disposal. Yet, after all, what a:e these means compared with the sums raised by loans, and squandered by improvidence or corruption in England? The petty items reserved as commission by the contractor of the last loan (amounting to 64.0001.) nearly doubles the voluntary contributions of all the . Phillrellenes of Europe, including those of committees and corporations, of colleges and universities, of classical Ladies and benevolent Princes—of Priests, artists, phi losophers, and statesmen—the produce of benefit con certs, and the collections of charity sermons! The Hon. H. T. LIDDELL has declined accepting the subscription which was nude towards defraying the expellees of his late Election, and amounted to nearly 4,000 E The Middlesex Sessions business was yesterday con fined to some uninteresting appeal cases. The annual Government contract for the supply of It ish beef and pot k, for the West Indies, Gibraltar, &c. was for 10,500 tierces; 3-sths at the rate of 71. 7s. a tierce; '2 sths at 71. 13s. 4d. a tierce ; being, upon the whole, a reduction 'of about ss. a tierce on the corre sponding contract of last year. The letters from Harnburgh state a decline of about 1 per cent. in the exchange with England, and an nounce an increase in the price of oats : as, however, it is well known that orders have been sent to Odessa for large purchases in that quarter, the Hamburgh price must necessarily fall._ The Magistrates of Dublin have been lately occupied in investigating the circumstances attending the murder of a man named Duffy, who had quarrelled with a sailor, and followed him on board a vessel, when a cry of murder was raised, and Duffy was found overboard, with several deep scars on the face and head; but it is not ascertained/how he came into the water, the sailor having escaped. Tuesday, the bodies r f the two unfortenate men who lost their lives by the accident at the Coburg Theatre, on Friday last, were interred in one grave, at St. George's Church, in the Borough. An immense concourse of people attended the funeral. The families of the de ceased have been left in the greatest distress ; and Mr. I)AVIDGE has kindly offered their widows the use of the house for a benefit, which will shortly take place. AN UNWELCOME VlSlToL—Friday evening, a bul lick, which a drover was quietly driving from Smith field, entered the house of Mr. Horn, of the Plough, Foie s:rect, Cripplegate, and entered the bar, to the great terror of Mrs. Horn, who was sitting there at the time. The animal next endeavoured to spring across the counter, and got his fore legs over, and then having esti icated himself, got into the lobby. Two neighbours, who witnessed the circumstance, instantly went into the house, and assisted in opening the doors of the lobby, when the beast quietly walked out, to the no small gra tification of those who saw the unwelcome intrusion. ROYAL CORRESPONDENCE. -Letter from Nuhamanna, Queen of the Sandwich Islands, to Captain Kotzebue, crutirg his last voyage round the world : " I love you ith all my heart, and more than .myself, and therefore cannot express in words the pleasure I feel in seeing you agsin. You will find every thing altered ; when Tamumaah was alive, the country flourished ; but with his death these blossoms faded, and every thing in the islands tell in the grettest disorder. The young King is now in London ; Karemaku and Kahumanna are at present absent; and the chief who supplies his place has too little influence with the people to receive you in a becoming manner: he cannot send you as much tat:o, nor as many yams and pigs, as you will want. I am heartily sorry that my large possessions in the Island Alowee ate at so great a ditance from here across the sere ; if they were nearer, you should daily be sur rounded rrith swine. When Karemaku and Kahumanna return, they aiH supply you with every thing. The King's brother will also come with them ; but he is still a buy, without any experience, and not able to distin guish right from wrong. I beg you to embrace your Emperor for me, and to tell him with what pleasure would do it myself; but, alas ! a whole sea lies between us. Do not forget col dia ly t.> recommend me to your countrymen. Ab lam a Christian, like yourself, you will for give my bad o riting. Il ringer obliges me to con clude my letter; and I wish that you may also eat your swine's head with a good appetite.

The Returns of " Parochial Education in Scotland," which has been printed by order of the House of Com mons, has just come into our hands. These returns form a closely printed folio volume of 986 pages, and as a book of reference regarding the system and extent of education in Scotland. at is very valuable. We have in it all the various branches of education, which are taught in every parochial school in Scotland, the number of scholars taught, and the income of every teacher, dis tinguishing how that income arises, viz. from stated salary, from fees from scholars, from the emoluments obtained for acting as Session Clerk, and for taking up militia lists, kc. and it is a lamentable—we say a la. mentable fact, that the income of the most useful and meritorious body of men, arising from all these sources, runs in general only from 351. (some lower, such as Clunk, 291. 18s. 6d.) to 601. per annum. The mass of them are from 401. to 551. per annum. Some few, here and there, in favourite and more populous districts of country, reach 701. 1001. and in a few instances, such as Jedburgh, 1501. but these latter classes of income are thinly planted in this mighty volume. We know of no class of men to whom the community is more indebted than to the Parochial Schoolmasters of Scotland. It is they that give our population that superiority in know ledge, and consequently in morals and habits of industry which they possess over the mass of the population of every other kingdom of the world. The forming of the minds of the whole rising generation—male and female, is literally and positively in their hands, and we hesitate not to state that it is a disgrace to this great and enlightened nation (which greatness is so much owing to their exertions) that they should have been so long neglected, and left to waste away their days amidst poverty and obscurity. We hope to see something done, and effectually done, to raise these individuals to a degree of independence in the scale of society (and not to coop them up in garrets, as in Clunie) to which their attainments and honourable office so justly entitle them ; and Mr. Peel will confer a boon more beneficial and durable on Scotland, than any he ever conferred upon her, if he will take in hand and perfect this work. Private letters from Java, given in the Dutch Papers, say, that unless three or four thousand additional troops be sent from Europe to that island, the insurrection by which it is internally ravaged may continue for years. Van Dieman Gazettes to the 15th of April have come to hand. They inform us of the pleasing fact of the whole of the ferocious gang of Bush Rangers having been completely subdued, and the peace of the Colony consequently restored. The Etoile of Tuesday contains some additional intel- ligence from Syra and Candia, but nothing very new or very important. As the most effectual mode probably of putting an end to piracy in the Archipelago, the Bri tish, French and Austrian Naval Commanders are said to have levied fines- on the Governments of the isles, where piracy was thought to be encouraged, and where, on examination, any part of the stolen goods was found. Amongst other things, however, it is related that Com modore Hamilton having repaired to Egina to inquire about the effects belonging to Stratford Canning, and the inhabitants having declared that they had nothing, 150 men were landed from the Cambrian, to search a Convent, which was supposed to be the strong bold of the Pirates. The Superior was called shortly alter before the Commodore to be interrogated ; but instead of acknowledging any participation in guilt, he complained that the door of his apartment had been burst open, and that some of the Cambrian's men had taken his watch, his pocket book and its contents, and other valuables. A strict inquiry was immediately set on foot, and the facts being proved, the offenders were instantly punished, the stolen articles restored, and the Commodore disgusted by this act of delinquency on the part of some of those who had come to chastise robbers, raised the embargo which he had laid at his arrival, and set sail to join Admiral Neal at Hydra. Accounts from the same place confirm the report of the Greeks having succeeded in burning one of the Captain Pacha's large vessels. They also state that Ibrahim had lost 6,000 men in his various attempts to penetrate into the country of the Mainotes. The Lloik however reduces the number to 1.200. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. IC—Nothing occurred in this Curt today worth noticing, except the fact of a pour woman coming from the Marshalsea prison to be discharged from a debt of 11. 12s. and the costs of suit upon it, which amounted to more than 221. She was ordered to be discharged forthwith. DUBLIN, Ssrr. 11.—Such is the state of the fever hospital of Limerick, that there are 160 patients who, for want of sufficient accommodation, are obliged to lie two or even tl.ree in a bed. In Cork, and in the county of Wexford, fever has spread. The want of straw beds for the Foor aggravates the aflbction of the disease. Tuesday morning the Eclipse steam packet, after leaving Brighton for Dieppe, was obliged to put back, owing to an accidental 1 - Attire in some part of the ve.sel. Another was forthwith procured from Newhaven, in which the horses, carriages, and passengers, were speedily re-shipped, and proceeded on their destination. A fatal accident occurred on Monday se'nnight to Mr.Bensnstin CHASTON, of Mendham, whilst pursuing the sports of the field. lie had just discharged one shot - from a douhle.barrel gun, and was in the act of re-load ing, when the other barrel went off, and killed him upon the spot. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-UOUSE. A young man named S'inintart, who is in the service of some com mercial bOO% in the City, as porter, was brought before the Loan Move, under the following circumstance.. Mr. Johnson. of Bell-alley, stated, that on . the previous night, after his family had retired to bed, be was alarmed by a violent knocking at the door. The blows were redoubled, until he heard the pannels one after another give way. On going down, he found the prisoner struggling..eith a neighbour and a watchman, who suc ceeded with great difficulty in securing him. He bad come prepared ' for desperate work. He was armed with a terrible long knife, and a large poker. His object was to get at a servant girl, a relation, with wLom he was in love, and who was in the employment of Mr. Johnson. The young man, in Ms defence, admitted that be bad been des perately in love with his cousin, Sally Harris, who was in Mrs. Johnson's employment. She had encouraged his addresses ; he bad been repeatedly invited to the house, and had taken both herself and her master's daughter to the play, whilst Mr. Johnson was from home. When he was too late, they accom..iodated him with a bed there. He mentioned other instances of good will towards hint, on the part of Sally Harris, who had somehow or other Lecome cold towards him, and had refused to speak to him. She bad otherwise ill used him, and he could not bear it. He knew not what be did. Sally Harris, a smart flippant servant girl. who appeared very likely to drive a young man like the prisoner to distraction, spoke of him as a stranger. She admitted that she had received attentions from him, but as her aunt disliked hint, and as she was always obedient, she had declined to have anything more to say to him.— For this he had threatened to take her life, and his own after it. She pretended ignorance of his visits to the house, as did also the other young girl, who was in charge of it with her. The Loan MAYOR censured the two females for having impro. perly introduced the prisoner into the house during Mr. Johnson's absence. At the same time, the prisoner must not be allowed to manifest his disappointment by breaking Mr. Johnson's door to pieces, or disturbing the whole neighbourhood by so violent a display of passion. His Lordship sentenced him, under a late Act, to pay 4t. for the damage done to the door, and ordered him to find sureties to keep the peace in future. Davit, a Waterman, was summoned before the Loan Marna, for taking a passenger from one of the steam-boats out of his turn. The decision in this case Is of some importance to the public. Davis, the defendant, called, as a witness, a Gentleman, who stated, that he was on board the steam-boat in question and wished to come on shore. He certainly felt the danger, of which frequent complaint bad been made to his Lordship, of going on shore in a wherry, burthened to within three or four inches of the water by eight persons, and in that condition forcing a way amidst a crowd of boats and warmest, who were struggling to get forenuost. He saw the defendant on the outside of the crowd, and called him -to take him on shore. For this purpose he waited a considerable time, and in no case would he not be willing to wait an hour, rather than go on shore in the usual manner. He submitted that whatever might be the regulations with respect to turn-keeping, he had a right to go on shore in the manner he found most convenient, or thought to be most safe. The Loan filavoa, on looking at the Act, with the advice of the City Solicitor, decided in favour of the defendant. The latter would have been liable to a fine if he had plied for a fare out of his turn, but it was perfectly competent for any passenger to engage him in preference to those who were in turn. No passenger could be forced to take those who were in turn, unless be thougnt proper. The complaint was therefore dismissed. The complaining waterman declared, that the declaim would be the ruin of turn keepiag. GUILDHALL. One of the porters at the Swan-with-two- Necks, Lad-lane, named Staley, appeared to answer the complaint of Sir Wm. Blizard, for demanding 3s. 2d. as the charge for the carriage of some game, which charge had been defrayed in the country. Sir William said the Gentleman who sent him the game sent him s letter by post, noticing the fact that the carriage had been paid. He in came -1 quence refused to pay the demand made upon him, and a similar trick having been played off on him once before, he determined thus publicly to expose the circumstafice. It was not denied by the defendant that the carriage had been paid in the country, but the defence set up was, that a man was employed to distribute some of the parcelb, who, not seeing the words " Carriage paid" written on the direction, made out a ticket, and received the money : he had since absconded. Mr. Alderman Ames observed, that the rates of porterage were very liberal, and that parcels ought to be delivered within a quarter of an hour after the arrival of the coach, instead of being kept and taken round the metropolis in a cart. If he expected a parcel upon business, and applied for it at the inn, unless there happened to be the words upon it " to be left tiU called fee," he was sure to receive for answer that it had been taken out for delivery, and the proba bility was that it would not reach his counting house within the hours for business. If the Innkeepers did not remedy this evil themselves, he might perhaps propose some arrangement by which the Post Mice would undertake the delivery of certain parcels upon the ordinary terms, and he was sure there would be no ground for complaining of delay, when the thing was in the hands of Mr. Free ling . As Sir William had no desire to have the defendant fined, he paid the expenses, and was dismissed. BOW STREET. Last night, three Irish women, of the names of Bryant, Reedy, and Sullivan, were committed from this office to the House of Correc tion, charged under the Police Act, with being common vagrants and imposters. They have levied contributions upon the public for some time by the following scandalous fraud :—The prisoner Bryant, who has three children, feigned to be in a fit, or dying for want of food, and the other prisoners, who pretended to be merely lookers on, excited the sympathy of passers by in her behalf, by exclaiming, " Poor creature she will die for want," Ike. Many Gentlemen gave the woman 6d. and la. believing, from the contortions of her features, that she was in the agonies of death, and one Gentleman went for a doctor. It was proved that the three prisoners acted in concert, and that when Dallas, a beadle, took them into custody, they abused him, and the Gentleman who gave charge of them, in the grossest manner ; and Bryant, who a few minutes before appeared to be so seriously indisposed, attempted to run off with two children in her arms. HA rTON GARDEN. Yesterday, Caroline /Ilealims was folly committed to take her trial at the present Old Bailey &aims, upon two charges of felony, namely—for robbing Mr. Brooks, her late master, of a 501. Bank note, and for stealing a coral necklace from Mr. Ferguson, in whose service she lived about twelve months ago. Henry Revell, Esq. of Burton Crescent, stated that be paid the note in question to Mrs. Brooks. lie received it at the Bank, amongst six of the same amount. They bad been all paid in since July last, except one, No. 4,760, which corresponds with the num ber and date of the Dote exchanged by Mr. Astle, the publican. Mr. Lasso asked the prisoner if she wished to say anything in her defence? She replied that ahe had nothing to say, and was then removed from the bar. W. and I. Dossers, (barkers to an unlicensed hawker) were charged by H. Milburn (a young Surgeon from Durham, come up to walk the Hospital) with defrauding him of 20s. and ;tabbing him of 17s. On Wednesday evening, complainant was solicited by William to accompany him to a public house in li.'ulwood's rents, to me some fine cigars which be had far sale. He was conducted to a back parlour, where they met Levant, the dealer , who told complainant ihe cigars were damaged, but that he had some prime French muslin., a great bargain. Complainant became alarmed, and attempted to retire; but was informed that he could not with out paying 20s. for some muslin, which had been cut off for him. Tbr . ough - tear, the demand was paid. On coming out be discovered iliac l►e had been robbed of I 7s. besides. On Thursday morning he went to the same house, and while attempting to secure William, two men (Dick and Isaac 'lowers) assaulted him and his friend, and endeavoured to rescue William. An officer was procured, and William and Isaac were brought to this Office. The muslin (seven yards) was examined by a draper, who pronounced it to be wor:ls only 4d. per yard. Committed in default of bail, and a warrant issued for the ap prehension of Dick. QUEEN SQUARE A RAT•C•TC1111111, lIM • CAIIIRIOLIIT.MaiIef George Afilteis was brought up front the watchhouse to answer the following complaint. Mr. Warn—Here is a charge against you for having hired a cabriolet, and net paying the driver his fare. Milton—l deny the charge, upon my Fromm.. Mr. WHITS—What business are you? ?dilton—A destroyer of vermin. Wuirs—A destroyer of what? Milton—l ant a rat catcher. I assist my father in the business, who works fur Government. _ Thomas Ward, the driv,r of the cabriolet No. 26, stated, that about See o'clock, on Wednesday afternoon, he wa, on the Pilgrim rank in Holborn, when he was called off by the defendant, and told to drive him towards St. Giles's Church; on the road he ordered , him to stop aka gin-shop, and had some rum and shrub; they isru • seeded a little further, then stopped again, and had a little more. 013 reaching Broad -street, Bloomsbury, the defendant told him to del se to Westminster, and in Crown-street there was another glass. Witness at length put him down in Parliament -street, aid, on d e . mending his fare, one shilling and siapence, he declared he had paid hint. An altercation now ensued, by which he was detainel some time, when several persons present advised him to procure a eon stable, which be did, and gave the defendant in charge. Master Milton c.onmenced his defence by saying, he would state nothing but the truth. The driver asked him if he would have ride, as he knew him to be a Westminster lad, and he was goin g that road. I told him I would stand a glass or two, or spend a shilling. We drank several times on the way, your Worship, and the driver was quite drank. On reaching Scotland-yard, I gave the driver Is. 6d. and a glass of rum ; now he declares he was not paid. Ward-1 never received a farthing. You refused to pay me, and delayed my time. Mr. Wilms—How long was you detained? Ward—Upwards of two hours. Mr. WHITE, to Milton—You must pay the fare, and the man's loss of time, amounting to ss. 6d. Master Milton declaring be could not pay, was locked up. 11.4111111ERT AT TIFIK DUKE of YORK'S New Mmessost.— Yesterday, two respectable looking men, Witham Redmond and Iticliard.hick,aft were charged on suspicion of stealing a quantity of tools belonging to the carpenters, mho were employed on the Duke of York's new mansion, in the Green Park. The first witness, George Hitchener, locked op his tools at half past five, on Wednesday afternoon; but on going to work nest niorning,he found them gone. The tool house was under the care of John Jenkins, who had locked the outer door. He bas siace found the tools, at a general sale shop, at Charlotte Terrace, near the Coburg Theatre, where one of the planes was placed at the door to be sold.' At the moment he challenged the plane, the priso:ter Redmond came up, with two planes to sell, when Thomas Tube, another of the workmen, who bad accompanied him, gave him ober to an officer. Edward Herring, a constable, deposed to taking Redmond into custody. Mile they were in the back parlour where the tools were found, Jackson came in, and witness took charge of him also. Thomas Newbury, a carpenter, now identified the basket as hit property, and also some of the tools. Redmond, in his defence, said that he had met Jackson by acci. dent, who bailed bins as a brother-chip, and they had some beer together. Jackson at last asked him to sell sont.! tools, wench, he said, were of no use to him, as he should never go to sea again, he went with them, and told him he could only get 6s 6d. fur them, and he had better go and get the money hinvelf. Jackson said that be had bought the tools of a stranger that morning. Richard Lawrence, the proprietor of the shop, corroborated that part of the statement that related tolacksoa's taking the money. The prisoners were then remanded. UNION HALL Esther MDmald, a middle-aged woman, was charged with break. Mg open her master's desk, and robbing him of 521. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Nettletborpe, of Temple4like, Blackfriars, as house-keeper. On the 28th of July, the prosecute left home in the morning, and on his return the desk was opened, and a purse containing the money, which was in 51. notes, love reigns, and silver, stolen. The prisoner affected surprise when in formed of the robbery, and protested that she was perfectly inno cent. She informed her master, that during his absence two Gen denten called at the house to inquire after him, whom she invited into the office; that she left tam there a few minutes whilst she went into the kitchen, and she strongly suspected they had opened the desk and taken the money. In about ten days after the rub bery, none of the money having been traced during that period, the prisoner expressed a desire to leave the house, saying the work was too hard fur her. Previous to her departure her boxes were searched, and a vast number of articles that appeared to have been ieceialy purchased were found. She then entered into the service of a family at Clapham. On Saturday one of the notes was paid into the Bank by Mr. Jenkins, a linen-draper, in Br idge-street, o ho received it from the prisoner for goods. Offizers were then sent to appre hend her; she appeared excessively alarmed, and requested per mission to go into the garden. She was observed to enter the privy, and on searching that place, two of the si. notes and nineteen nove reigns were found. Ihe prisoner said, she could satisfactorily ex plain the manner in which she became possessed of the money.—. Site was committed. LA MBETH-ST ItEET. Simpson, alias Rakosen, was charged with swindling. It appeared, that about three weeks ago he went to the shop of Mr. Gillam, ebeesemonger, in the C.mmtrcial Road, trpresenting himself as landlord of the North Pole public-house, corner of Martha -street, and directed a quantity of butter and cheese to be sent there. Soon after departing be returned, apparently in a hurry, saying he had bargained for sonic articles, and was defident Is. Bd. which be borrowed of Mr. G. but on sending home the articles, he was found to be an impostor. Remanded, in expectation of other charges. R. ✓ Nicholls, a knight of the sleeve board, and member of the genus irrnabile, was accused of maltreating his wife. When called on for his defence, he pleaded passion, and expressed contrition. The Magistrate, however, ordered him to hud bail, unless he could pacify the anger of the offended Lady, for which purpose they retired. and on assuring her he would be a good boy in future, her tender feelings prevailed, and she said she would take his word once more, though he had broken it 50 times bef.re, and poor Snip was suffered to depart. THAMES POLICE. .kh,s Daniel, mate on board a vessel from Valparaiso, appeared on a summons to answer an information exhibited against him by the Commissioners of Customs, for having in his possession 2241b5. of foreign biscuit, upon which the King's duty had not been paid, contrary to the statute in that case made and provided. Mr. Tbackery, the Solicitor for the Commissioner:, stated, that this was an information, under the 6th Geo. I V. cap. 108, whereil It is enacted, that any person or persons having in their possession any foreign biscuit, corn, or flour, are subject to a penalty of three times the value of the said biscuit, corn, or flour. John Galloway, the constable, stated, that on the 29th of July last, be was ea duty at the Regent's Canal, and he saw the defen dant land from on board a vessel thtee bags. He asked him what they contained ?he replied, biscuit. He asked him why be was landing them? the defendant said, it was foreign bi.cuit, which he had been made a present of. Witness seized it, and lodged it in the King's &ores. The defendant was then called on for his defence, lie stated, that he had been made a present of the biscuit on board the soul by a passenger. who had come home from Valparaiso, where it was made. He was not aware there was any harm in landing it. He had not been in England for four years, and was ignorant of the law on the subject. Mr. BALIANITYME inquired what was the value of the biscuit? Mr. Thackery said, about 18s. Mr. BALLAIITTIZ observed, that the penalty in that case would be 56.. ; but he said that it was not proved that it was foreign bis cuit. A Gentleman in the trade said, that he bad 'hewed a ;am* of it to several biscuit bakers, who were decidedly of opinion that it was not made in England. Mr. Baztrevrea said, that the Act had invested him with • power of reducing the fine, and since the date had erred from ignorance, he would reduce it one half; he ,heiefore only convicted him in the penalty of 481. which the Mate instantly paid, and lett the Office. It has become quite a common .peculation at New. castle to import horses from Germany. Two or three cargoes ar rived in the course of last week. The dandy thieves who have been swindling the jewellers and cutlers so much lately, are described in the reports as very smart bladcs.—They are sharp coo, doubtltss.
