Bow-srazirr.—Yesterday, Mary Agnes Lewin' Metier, the Thant woman charged with stealing seven £5 totes, the property of Captain Drew, of the ship Edward, was brought up for re-exa mination. The only additional evidence was that of the clerk to Captain Drew's banker, who proved that the two nr t.. found concealed in the prisoner's bed were two of the notes which Captain Drew received in payment fora check. The prisoner, in her defence, urged with great earnestness, and with tears in her Pyres, that she knew nothing of the two £5 notes. Her room, she said, was never !oiled, and all In the house had access to it. Her trunks, even, A were pet locked. Sir Rictia an Masse asked her if she had any legal ichtiser pre sent to assist her in her defence? The prisoner replied in the negative. Sir Mena an BIRNIE. Do you not know any person in London who would befriend you se far as to procure you legal advice? The prisoner —(Crying bitterly).—No, Sir, I have lost all my friends. None of them will now notice me. There is but one, and he has nor left the country ; and he it - was from whom I received the 20 sovereigns found in my room. I could prove that, if he were here. Sir H. 81111416 said, that whatever might have been the opinion of the Magistrate who first heard the case upon that point, he (Sir B. Birnie) thought it but of little importance. It would indeed be extremely important to her if she could prove that she came honestly by the two XS notes, but it was of little conse quence, he thought, as to the sovereigns —money which certainly could not be identified. The prisoner said she knew nothing of the £5 notes ; they never were in her possession, and therefore she could give no actount of them.

THE EARL 4. COUNTESS of PORTSMOUTH. FROM TIIE EDINBURGH COURANT. Sta—Seeing a paragraph in your Paper of Saturday last, re specting the Earl of Portsmouth, affecting to impress the Public with a belief that his Lordship's sudden departure from his fa.. mily originated in some cruelty and indignity practised upon this Noble Peer, for which there is not the smallest foundation, the Public are requested to suspend their opinion on this e.c party paragraph, which has been traced to have originated with the Solicitors of the Hon. Newton Fellowes, his Lordship's brother and presumptive heir, who has been the secret instrument of taking his Lordship away, foryurposes easily to be guessed at. Soon after the Earl of Portsmouth's marriage with his present Countess, this Mr. Fellowes attempted to procure a commis sion of lunacy against his Noble Brother, with a view ultimately of setting aside the marriage, he being next in succession to the Earl's honours and estates, and dreading the consequence of his Lordship's union with so young a Lady; but in this he was, to his great mortification, unsuccessful, and the Earl has, ever since that time (now between eight and nine years), resided with his Lady, but during that period every obstacle has been thrown in the way of their comfort, and which involved much litigation in the English Court of Chancery. It was, however, a few mouths ago, in order to put an end to all further disputes, agreed to leave all matters in difference to the abitratiun of a Gentleman of the Chancery Bar, of the name of Skirrow, and this reference hat been proceeding up to the very moment of Lord Portsmouth's sudden depart ure from Edinburgh, on Tw-sday, the 2d inst. Lord and Lady Portsmouth have for many months been residing in this city. Her Ladyship being in delicate health, and in a state of pregnancy, bad put herself under the entire manage ment of Dr. Jas. Hamilton, jun. whose skill as a physician and acconcheur is as well known as his character for honour and in tegrity is proverbial, but who had been assailed with scurrilous anonymous letters that Lady Portsmouth had come to Edinburgh to smuggle a child. His Lordship haertlever left his Lady, my sister, Lady Portsmouth, during the many months they resided in Edinburgh, and uniformly evinced the most conjugal attention and affectionate solicitude fur her, and seldom quitted her room except to take a walk or an airing, and pay a morning visit at Airs. Norton's, at Abbeyhill, a relation of his first Lady. Tuesday morning, the 2d inst. his Lordship breakfasted with his Lady, and left her about one o'clock in perfect good humour, to take his walk, telling her he should soon return, and take an early dinner at three o'clock. He was soon after seen going along Prince's street, and, on passing the Royal Hotel, Air. Fletcher Norton, ea son of Mrs. Norton, rushed out of the hotel, and joined his Lordship, and, after a short conversation, prevailed upon Lord Portsmouth to get into Mrs. Norton's coach,wbich was waiting for the purpose near the Register Office, and drove off on the road to Haddington. They were soon afterwards followedisy Mr. Norton's chariot with post-hearses, and a person in it of the name of Cumbe, who had assumed the name of Colonel Cooke, and concurred in the plot, and which overtook Mrs. Norton's coach a few miles beyond •liaddington, when they all got into Mr. Norton's chariot, and drove off with the utmost speed, travel ling day and night towards London, and proceeded to, and ar rived at, Lord Grantley's house, in Surrey, on the Thursday following in the afternoon, thus travelling nearly 440 miles in 51 hours. His Lordship had not a change of apparel of any de scription, nor had made the slightest preparation for such a jour ney. They were pursued to that place, where 'Mr. Skirrow had joined the party; but all access to Lord Portsmouth was refused by that Gentleman : what passed afterwards is unnecessary to repeat. The Public will draw their own conclusions on the pro bability of this extraordinary Right bring the spontaneous act of Lord Portsmouth, and on the motives which actuated the pro moters of it. I feel it, however, incumbent upon me, to assure the Public that lain in possession of evidence to prove that Mr. N. Fellowes was privy and accessory to the whole plot, which was conceived and formed shortly after Lady Portsmouth's preg nancy was made kncwn to him. I reqqest you will insert this in your Paper.—Your obedient humble servant, NEWTON HANSON. Edinburgh, 32, Great Wing-street, July 30. Sir It. Maxim—But they were found in your room ? Prisoner.—So they were; but I had no knowledge of their being there.—She was again remanded. MairstoN-House.— Yesterday John Brifet, a decent-looking man, was order to find bail, or be committed, for having said to a private in the 3d Regiment of Guards," Soldier ! What about the Bishop ?" Davis, the Ward Beadle of Aldgate, was charged with having refused to detain in cussody a female, who grossly insulted a sol dier, in the way now become so usual amongst the lowest orders. A Serjeant of the a'd Guards stated, that he was passing through the Minories, and saw a soldier of the same regiment in the midst of a crowd of persons, who were much disposed to insult him. The soldier was endeavouring to take into custody a woman, who had run into a shop, after having insulted him. She was eventually taken to the watch-house, but Davis, who presided there, laughed at the charge, and re fused to detain the woman upon it. Witness mentioned the circumstance to the Adjutant, who ordered him to make a complaint before a Ma gistrate. He accordingly went to Sir Daniel Williams, who, upon hearing the circumstance, regretted that the offence bad not been given within his district, and directed witness to apply to the Lord Mayor. Kidd, the soldier who complained of the insult, said that as be was passing down the Minories, near the Crown public-house, be saw two women standing together, one of whom said" Go to the Bishop !" He went after her to take her to the watch house; a Gentleman advised him not to have anything to do with her, and he followed the advice. An officer, however, at his desire, took her into custody; several people shoved witness about. When the woman was brought into the watch-houses Davis said, upon hearing the charge, that he could not detain the woman, as there was no evidence of assault. _ _ • The Loan Nayoa asked Mei', in a very indignant tone, why he had not done his duty by detaining the woman, and bringing her before him to answer for such offensive conduct ? Davis replied, that he had inquired into the facts of the case when the charge was brought before him, and that the answer of the woman and of other persons present was, that she was stopping in the street to hear a song, when the complainant laid hold of her, on which account she used the words attributed to her. As there was no charge of assault, witness did not see how he could be justified in detaining the woman in custody, and'therefore dismissed her. The Loan MAYOR told Davis he was not to presume to judge of the propriety or impropriety of the charge; the Magistrate was to decide upon that question. Davis declrred that on many occasions the soldiers in the neighbourhood were excnsively insulting, and that he was fre quently under the necessity of - speaking to them on the subject of their unrestrained conduct. He repeated that be could not see by what authority he could have detained the woman. The Loan MAYOR highly censured Davis's conduct, and as sured him that if anything of the kind appeared against him on any future occasion, care should be taken to inflict proper punish.. ment.—The serjeant and soldier left the room satisfied with the notice which his Lordship had taken of the insult. Gutnnum.s..—An Irishman and his wife, residing in George. alley, Fleet-market, were re-examined on suspicion of stealing thirty sovereigns from Mary Bruce. The complainant - absconded last week from her husband, a Chelsea pensioner, carrying with her their little hoard, and found a lodging with the prisoners, to whom she was to pay half-a-crown a night. This she paid for three or four nights, and displayed the wealth of which she was possessed. On Thursday night she went to bed rather inebriated, and placed her money under her pillow; but on awaking in the morning it was gone ; and oh complaining, she was turned out of the house. She had recourse again to spirits, and was taken to the watch-house in a state of insensibility ; and on recovering, she stated her loss ; and the constable having ascertained that the prisoners had been seen with gold and silver, took them into custody. T. Newman, the landlord of the Two Brewers, in Field-lane, stated, that he held five sovereigns for the prisoners, but it was on Wednesday and Thursday, and therefore prior to the alleged robbery. The complainant, hearing her husband would be present at this second examination, did not appear; and as the parties had been seen with money before this loss, Alderman Illacnvx dismissed the charge. Ma r.—Wednesday John Milford, otherwise Captain Stracey, a person of gentlemanly appearance, was brought up for final examination on a charge of forgery, and fully com mitted to Newgate to take his trial. Yesterday Mr. William Benbow applied for a warrant against William' Smith, a patrol of Bond-street, who had assaulted him nn NVednesday afternoon, in his own house. Mr. lienbow stated, that Smith came into the shop and asked for the eighth Number of the Rambler's lingene, which was given him, and he was about to pay for it, when a Gentleman who happened to be in the shop recognized him to be an agent to the well-known Bridge-street Association. The complainant instantly, on hearing this, attempted to recover possession of the hook, and seized Smith's arm with one hand, and with the other caught hold of the book, but he having the book firmly in his grasp, resisted, at the same time calling out's Bob;' instantly a man entered the shop, and struck the complainant a blow on the arm, which made hint loose his hold, and Smith and his compa nion then left the shop with the hook; and as he conceived he was not to be subject to such attacks, he hoped the warrant would be granted. The 3lagistrate granted a warrant, and said he might ride by civil process fur his book. Mr. Benbow then procured the warrant and left the Office. QUEINI-SQOARY.—Kendrick,the black pugilist, charged Jour! p! better known as Jue the brewer, another well-known bruiser, and an Irishman, named John Keel!, with committing an assault upon his wife, afair lady, on Sunday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, at his house iu the Almonry, Westminster. Kendrick and his wife keep a house of no very excellent descrip tion, and Keall took a female there, who, after she had got all his money from bins (eighteen pence), with the assistance of Mrs. Kendrick, attempted to sjeet him from the house; he resisted, and refused to quit. Kendrick himself then made his appear ance, and attacked Kean right and left, when Arnold, who once knew the day he could use his bunch of fives with any man, in.. terfered to prevent Keall from further injury, and he received ;facer at the hands of lien& ick. The watchman arrived at this moment, and conveyed Arnold and Keall to the watch-house. The 1 la. 6 istrates told Kendrick they wou ld advise him t o dia. continue keeping such a house. Arnold was discharged, and it being proved that Kroll was stupidly_drunk when the affraymok place, he was tined :is. which he paWs and was set at liberty. ESSEX.--WANSTEAD HOUSE.
