Pr all 'things that came in his way, took the attention_ofl Ilse plaintiff, and he thought it necessary to make in,, quint.: as to the respectability of Mather and Co. to whom Stanton had referred, and from what he heard, although the pony and sacks had been sent off, h• went im mediately tettop the delivery of them, and succeeded in prevailing on the carrier to restore the pony ; but with respect to the sacks he was not so fortunate, for they were taken tinder an execution, by a creditor of Stanton's. The Sheriff was indemnified, and the action was brought against him for the value. Evidence was produced in support of the Learned Sergeant's ease. Mr. Fsergeant Caoss appeared on behalf of the de Pendant, and contended that there was no evident e to `criminate the Sheriff. He contended that though the goods might have been obtained fraudulently from the plaintiff, yet the plaintiff might not have a just cause of , action against the High Sheriff of the county of War wick. The Sheriff bad a proviso put into his bands to seize on the property of John Stanton; those goods had 'been Stanton's property; the goods were not on their transit from the buyer to the seller, they were actually delivered at Birmingham; the plaintiff had suffered this • man, who was not to be trusted, to have goods to the amount of 1001. no notice had been given to the She! iff's officers of the goods being the plaintiff's property, the person who sued out the warrant was a bona, fide credi tor. Under these circumstances they had no right to set up a fraudulent sale. the goods were in the plaintiff's possession; nether were they his property, and in point of 'law the o ffi cer was bound to sell. 'The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said, that the question was whether or not the goods were the property of Stanton ? It was certain that no property could pus by fraud, and the most gross fraud had been • 'committed in this case, and which subjected some of the parties to transportation. The Jury found a 'verdict fat the plaintiff—Damiges 94. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1826. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Accounts from Spain via France, received this morn ing, state, that the Treaty of Occupation for the year 1821 has not as yet expired. The French Ambas sador it Madrid has received orders from his Go vernment to insist on the payment of the interest of the sixty-eight millions that Spain owe- to France. This peremptory demand has caused important discussions in the Cabinet of Madrid. It appears by accounts from Toulon, that a division of ships of war were to sail horn that port on the night of the 20th and 21st of October, for the Levant 3 they have on board a Colonel and two superior Office's destined fur Greece. It is stated, by accounts from Marseilles, that Leid COCHRANK had not renounced his intention of return. ing to 'Greece, and was only waiting the arrival, at Marseilles, of a fr;gate from America, in which he would set sail again for Greece. We have S eived Dutch Papers to the 28th instant. The fellowinrare extracts: BERLIN, Ocrossa 24. We hear, by the latest accounts from Russia, that the festivities at Moscow, on occasion of the coronation, have terminated in the most desirable manner. The young Grand Duke, heir to the throne, arrived on the 9th October at Zarskojeselo, and on the 29th September the Emperor set out from Moscow for Tula. From a report of General Yermoloff, dated the 24411 of September, it seems that Abbas Mirza, after the de feat on the Clanhora, had been joined by Allaiar Khan, son-in-law to the Schah ; and with their united forces, amounting to 8,000 regular infantry, 15,000 regular, and as many irregular cavalry, and 25 pieces of cannon, had again passed the Tenter. General Madatoff had upon this joined, in the night of the 21st, Adjutant- General Paskevitsch ; in consequence of which the Persians contented themselves with taking a position on the left bank of the above-mertioned river, and were • obliged to raise the blockade of Schouchi. At the same time the brother of the Sardar of Erivan, bad made an incursion with 3,000 cavalry into the plain of Poloria, and driven off a great quantity of cattle; but the troops stationed in those parts recovered the greater part of the booty. The Sardar himself had gone to wards Schamshadit, and threatened Kazask, which induced General Yermoloff, as all was quiet on the line of the Caucasus, and in the province of Daghestan, to mart* with , three battalions, one of which consistee .of soldiers of the t u ard who mutinied, and 400 Cossacks, towards Kazisk, in order to protect that district. From 'another report of General Yermoloff, it appears that Gin. Pabkevitsch was attacked on the 25th of September bt the Persians, to the number of 35,000 men, commanded by Abbas Mime in person, and three of his sons; but that the assailants, after a short engagement, fled in dis order, leaving . behind 1100 prisoners, 80 caissons; and a quantity of baggage. The loss of the Russians was 50 killed, among whom is Colonel Gretoff, and 250 wounded. The enemy was pursued in his flight, and when the latest report was sent off, it was thought that the whole province of Karabasch was already delivered from the Persians. This victory was considered as so important, that the guns were fired at St. Petersburgh, and the - city illuminated on the o:casion. AMSTERDAM, Orroint 27. Private lecotints have been received here from the south of the Peloponnesus to the 22d September. News had been received at Napoli di Romania, that three attempts to storm the. Acropolis of Athens had been repuhed by the brave garrison. The troops assembled to relieve the place had made another effort to succour their besieged brethren, which ended in a brilliant vic. tory, in which the enemy is said to have lost nearly 2000 men. This event is. the more fortunate for the Greeks, as it is said that the Sultan had given orders to put the whole garrison to the swotd. In the Pelopou• nesus there was, on the 91st August, a successful action with Ibrahim, in which a great quantity of horses and cattle were taken. The latter were distributed for the support of the indigent. Dr. P. 11. Scot, an English man, arrived here yesterday from Paris, and is gone to day to Groningen. We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday, and the lillage dated Sunday. They contain nothing important. --.... m .....—. The German Papers contain some particulars of the proceedings of the piratical vessels in the Grecian Archipelago, the capture of which was announced in bat Friday's Gaunt. These Papers contain else a confirmation of the statement already pub !Liked in the French and English Papers, of the Turks having acceded to the propoidtions of Russia. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Within this hour both the Consol and Foreign Market have be come very heavy ; Congo* which were in the earlier part of the morning at 814 for the Account, have been done at 81e, since which a re-action has taken place, and Consols are again at 814 4 for the Account, and for Money, 81 j ; a good deal has been doing, but the Money market still remains heavy, several are the causes assigned for the drooping of the Market, that at Manchester things are not so favourable 41 they were; they are waiting the return of the delegates, expecting the duty on Prints will be taken •f' alto. The negociations at Akermann have taken an unfavourable turn. Mr. Secretary Campus, according to rumour, has returned without accomplishing his object. In the Foreign Market Colombian, which was in the morning at 59 to 6, bas been done at 574. At present no defaulters have been declared. MR. SECRETARY CANNING. FROM THE COURIER FRANCAIS OE THURSDAY. Mr. Canning had the honour of bring received, yesterday, in a private audience, by the King, and to take leave of his Majesty. The interview, as on former occasions, lasted upwards of an hour. On the preceding day Mr. Canning paid his farewell visits to nor Ministers, and to the Members of the Diplomatic Corps. The last diplomatic dinner at.wbicb he was present took-place at the resi dence of M. Pozen di Borgo, the Russian •Ambassador ; he had once before dined with the French and Foreign Ministers but no Ladies were present. On this occasion Mrs. Canning was invited, with her daughter, the Marchioness of Clauricarde. and about 50 other person., all foreigners. Not one of our Ministers was pre sent, nor any of their Ladies. M. de Villele pet mined, among his co (leagues, only the Baron de Dames to invite the illu s tri ous tra . yeller. O n this day, only, and in consequence of that privilege, M. de Damn might have imagined that be would have been in• trusted with our Foreign Affairs. Mr. Canning is the fourth indi vidual who, not belonging to any Royal Family, has dined at the Tuileries since the restoration. The three others were. the Duke of Wellington, Prince Metternich, and the Marquis of Hastings, formerly Governor General of India. This honour, granted to a humane nowoenr, as it would have been called at Rome, formerly. and to the man of a new system, perplexed certain notions of eti quette so much, that the fact was hardly believed when we first announced it; and it was not till the expiration of three days that our ministerial papers were authorised to repeat it, though they publish the Court news every morning, BROADSTAIRS, OCTOBER 29. The last Ball for the season took place on Friday night, at Hale's Assembly Rooms, and was most fashionably attended, under the direction of Captain Bayley, M.C. whose exertions to support these favourite Balls have met with the most gratifying patronage. The elegance and brilliancy of the dresses excited general admiration. Dancing commenced at ten o'clock with Weippert's celebrated set of quadrilles front Medea, and was kept up until supper was an nounced, with the greatest spirit ; when the sparkling Champagne was freely circulated ; after which dancing was resumed, with in. creased spirit, to Weippert and his band, who performed in their very best style. The company departed at a late boor, highly gratified by the de lightful evening's entertainment. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

We have been favoured by a Correspondent with the following details of the present state of the Carpet Manufacture in Scotland ; and as the information is derived from the best source ► we rely on its accuracy : Looms employed. Unemployed. Total. In Ribitarnock . . 450 . . 150 . . 600 In Stirling . . . 30 . . 128 . . 158 In Glasgow . . . 98 . . none . . 98 In Bannockburn . • 60 . . 35 . . 95 In Stewarton . . 64 . . none . . 64 In Aberdeen . . 50 . . none . . 50 In Sanquhar . . 15 . . none . . 15 In all other Parts of Scot- 1 15 land, about none Total . . 789 313 IS 1095 It appears from this table, that the carpet manufac ture, although not in the most desirable situation, is much better than that of cotton. We believe that the cause of the non-employment of a part of the looms pre mostly of a temporary nature; and that the owners of the looms, or those who may have come into the management of their affairs, will soon see it for their interest to resume their former activity. OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY. PhiEbert Mathey, a young man, a native of Switzer land, was indicted fora fraud on the Goldsmiths' Com pany, in having transpo,ed from one gold watch to another, the Ilall-mark of the said Company. Mr. Law and Mr. ALIA: conducted the prosecution, and Mr. BRUDIRICK the defence. . It appeared that the prisoner was on the 231 June in partnership with another foreigner, named Humber, as watchmakers, and on that day three gold watchcases were sent by the prisoner, as the manager of the firm, to the Goldsmiths Hall to be masked; they were ac cordingly marked, and returned to the prisoner. Sub sequently, one of these cases was sold to M. Vallumey, a watchmaker, in Pall Mall, and delivered on the 27th June; and on inspecting the r ins of the gold case so deliver ed, it was discovered that it was of gold of very Inferior quality to the rest of the gold, and that those rims that had been attached to the cases and marked on the 23d June, had been transposed to other cases, and an infe rior rim substituted at 10c an ounce less than the worth of the original rims. Information was given immediately to the Goldsmiths' Company, and steps were taken for his apprehension, which was effected by Read, an offi cer, of Hatton-Garden Office. On being taken, the prisoner asked for what offence he had been appre hended ? and without the officer answering him, he (the prisoner) said that he supposed it was for lowering gold. On the part of the prisoner it was endeavoured to be ,hewn that a man named Note:, a journeyman in the employ of the prisoner, but who had left the service, bad transposed the rims and not the prisoner, who was seldom in the business. It was also attempted to be proved that sometimes the rims get transposed by accident. A number of respectable persons gave the prisoner an unexcep tionable character. Mr. Sergeant Awn; summed up the evidence with great preci sion, and explaining its bearings very clearly to the Jury, who after mature deliberation found the prisoner Guilty. Yesterday William Garlick, aged 29, was indicted capitally for stealing a letter, containing Bank notes of the value of 10001. which came into his possession in ihe course of his employment at the General Post,Office, on the 7th day of December last, the property of Sir Richard Cat r Glyn and Co. The prisoner objected to any person connected with the Post Office, or any other public office, being of the Jury. Mr. Justice PARK—The proper way was for the prisoner to challenge, but he would put it to the good sense of the Jury, if any were connected as the prisoner had named, that they would retire. None of the Jury left the box. The SOLICITOR GENKRAL opened the case at great length. The pi isoner was indicted under the 52d Geo. 111. The material evidence would depend upon the statement of an accomplice named Callaghan, and the Jury would have to determine whether they gave full credit to his statement,before they fowl a verdict against the prisoner. Mr. ADOLPHUS, Mr. Law, and Mr. Batnimucx, were Counsel for the prisoner. John Williams examined by Mr. BoLcitun—He was a pay clerk in the Bank of England on the 7th of December; on that day he exchanged a 10001. note for Sir Richard Carr Glyn and Co. and gave for it ten SOL notes, one of 3001. and one 2001.; the witness identified the notes. Cross-examined by Mr. Anot.Pnus—He made no mark on the 10001. note; it was not customary • the `place for keeping it was in th e lib rar y at .h e Bank; he Aeceived the note from the. Solicitor to the Post Office. Benjamin Lawrence Sowell, clerk in the Bank.—ln December 1825 was clerk at Sir Richard Carr Glyn and Co.'s ; they were agents to Sparrow and Co. of Newcastle-under-Lyne ; he went to the Bank and ex changed the 10001. note; witness identified the notes that he received, and also the 10001. note that he took to the Bank; there was his own handwriting on them; when he returned to the banking-house he put the notes on the desk of Mr. Drewitt, the corresponding clerk. John Denis Daniel, a clerk at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s— Inclosed the notes in a letter on the day named. The notes produced are the same. In the same letter he enclosed a bond and two bills of exchange; he bad no doubt but that he sealed the letter himself, as was his duty. It was the duty of Raine to take the letter to the Post Office. Cross-examined by Mr. BRODERICK—He took the• Dotes tithe desk of the corresponding clerk. Them was only one of the SOL notes that was marked. Ther usually finished all their correspondence before the letteis were sealed he was very rarely called away whe n engaged in that duty. He had no recollection of that particular letter. By Mr. Bowan—He recollected that letter in particular, on ac. count of the bond, which he folded to correspond with the motes. By Mr. Abom.uns— When the bond was so folded, the letter had very nearly the same appearance as the other letters. Robert Raine—lt was his dutyto carry the letters to the Post-office. He always took them in a bag, and de livered all that he took. He always carried the letters; he knew nothing of this particular letter. He usually went to the Post-office about six o'clock, and put them in at the usual place. By Mr. Justice Pau—He always shook the bag; no letter could be left therein. William Key was clerk in the Liverpool division at I the Post-office. The big for Newcastle-under-Lyne was made up in that division. On the 7th of December the bag was tied and sealed, as usual, before it was put into the sack. The sack was not sealed ; they make up the bags at about a quarter before eight. By Mr. BRODERICK—From ten to fifteen clerks ate employed to sort the letters. The letters cannot be con. sidered to be in their respective divisions until after the first sorting from the general heap. They are then taken by messengers to the divisions, whe,e the clerk of the division takes the letters. There are two persons through whose hands they pass, when at their proper divisions; in the whole, they pass through more than twenty hands. Elisabeth Brothers, the post-mistress of Newcastle under-Lyne, opened the London bag on the Bth of De cember; it was sealed and tied as usual. On that day an inquiry was made by Messrs. Sparrow for a letter ; there w.ts not any. William Tyson, a clerk to Messrs. Sparrow, proved that they expected a letter with 1000/. and a bond; be made inquiry at the Post-office; there was no such letter. Cross-examined by Mr. Law—Ht could not say that he received no letter, but he received none sflth £lOOO ; if there had been suck a one, he should have seen it opened. Benjamin Vanderguchr, presiJentof the Inland Office, proved the employ of the prisoner in the Post Office, his duty was to go round to all the divisions, and collect the mis sorted letters, for the purpose of !iving them re sorted. Mistakes frequently occur between the New castle• upon-Tyne, and the Newcastle. under. Lyne levers. If such a mistake had happened that Eight, the letter would have come into the pris , nei's hands. CrtiWeitamined by Mr. A DOLIMUS. —llr had no knowledge that there was Birch a mi. sorted letter on that night. The pawner bore a good character, and was universally respected. Nathaniel Callaghan called. He appeared in Court, but was ordered to withdraw. Mr. Anoirotis ind Mr. BRODILICZ objected to his competency to give evidence, and called Mr. Jos. tnwin, who produced the rriginal record of the convicti )11 of a peitrn named Callion, under which name Call4ghan had been convicted. The offence of vThich the intended witness was cot victed, was that of uttering counterfeit coin, in the year 1807, when he was sentenced to months' imprison ment in Clerkenwell Prison, and to find sureties for his good behaviour for six month!. Callaghan was recalled; and Mr. Beebi, keeper of the prison, identified his person, as being the same that was convicted. Mr. Anoxrisus now contended that Callaghan could not be a wit ness, coming within the rule of the law relative to exceptionable witnesses. %Ir. Justice PARK said that the objection was invalid. It must be a crime of an infamous nature to render a witness incompetent. Daniel Callaghan, a fishmonger in Fleet-market, had known the prisoner fourteen years, and Welch twenty years. He had been in company with. Welch, Good man, and Garlick. About twelve minths ago he met the prisoner, who had then his red coat on. He after wards saw Welch and Garlick together at a house in Fleet-market, when Welch said, that the prisoner could do them some good. Welch said, "If you can get any thing, Callaghan knows where I live." The prisoner said, "he would look out." The prisoner afterwards came to his stall. They went to St. John-street. The Firmer said he had got something which he thought was four or five hundred pounds. He held something in a white paper, without a seal. They went to Welch's, when Garlick gave him the parcel. Welch opened it; there was one thousand pounds there, partly in fifty rund notes, ani two papers in the parcel, of which Welch said one was a bond, which Garlick burnt. They went from thence to the Ivy House, in Goswell street ; he there called out Mr. Goodman, and told him William (Garlick) was waiting. He stated to Welch and Garlick what had passed between him and Good man. Welch was at the corner of the street, and Garlick near Lim. Welch came out to meet him (witness) after he had given the notes to Goodman. He spoke low to Welch ; Garlick might hear, but he did not know that he did. The next night Garlick and he went to Welch's to receive the money. Garlick received 3501. He re ceived 2501. in sovereigns. Welch kept the remainder, as he said, for himself and Goodman, viz. 2501. for him self and 1501. for Goodman. He had once since met Goodman and Garlick together by accident, at a public house in the City Road. They had both been at his house but not together. He had seen Goodman and Welch together at their houses. Mr. Justice PARK said the accomplice was a compe tent witness; but he must be confirmed. The clime alleged was, that the prisoner had subtracted a letter from the Post-office; but all that the evidence went to prove was, that there was a white paper delivered to Welch, when the prisoner was standing by, which might, if it was the letter, have been taken by some other person in collusion with the last witness. They would also recollect the good character given him by the President of the division in the Post-office. Under these circumstances, the Solicitor-General felt that he could not support the charge, the Jury would, there fore, acquit the prisoner.—Verdict—Not Guilty. Goodman was afterwards put to the bar, on a charge of receiving, dm. but the Solicitor declining to offer any evidence against him, he was also asfeiued. John Jarvis Tolhunt was charged with felony, for mar rying a second wife, the first being alive at the time. John George Lee, deputy parish clerk of St. George's, Hanover.square, produced the book of registers; turned to a page, and found that there were married EdwAi Jarvis Tolhunt and Elizabeth Whitehurst, by licence, on the 5d of July last. Cross-examined by Mr. AN/IRVWI.—Was present, but did not recollect the persons of the parties. John Emery, another subscribing witness to the entry, identified both the parties. Cross•examined—Was no friend to the parties. Is a licensed victualler; keeps a house opposite the vestry door; was applied to by the prisoner to prepare break fast for five or six persons; no. one came except the prisoner and Mrs. Whitehurst; witness WAS with diffi culty rersuaded to assist at the ceremony; he was sure .f the persons. Hannah Grey ealled.—Up to the 10th of August last war s vidow, and was then married at Kennington, to the prisoner. Cross-examined.—Wits not living with prisoner itt
