Itlssonos-Hoesr..—Yesterday a young man of respectable ap pearanee was brought before the Lone MAYOR ' on a charge of embezzlement. and under suspicion of having committed a rob bery. A respectable sugar-baker, named Miller, in whose em. ployment the prisoner lived, is the prosecutor. The son of Mr. Miller stated, that the prisoner bad been taken into service merely because he was poor, the symptoms of which were very strong upon him when he presented himself. He appeared to be grateful for some time, but his dress soon began to outstrip Ids salary, and certain deficiencies were discovered in the sums placed in the desk of the counting-house, - to get at which sums s false key was indispensably necessary. The prisoner was not suspected of the robbery until the accounts were found to be irregular, and that irregularity was traced to acts of embezzle ment by the prisoner. Upon being accused of the lesser offence, the prisoner confessed it in tears, implored pardon, and as be bad a wife, who had other source of protection, not only suc ceeded in obtaining that, but was actually replaced in the situa tion which he had abused. His promises of amendment were, however, forgotten ; cash again disappeared. On Friday lase, the sum of £5. 2s. 3d. in marked money, was left in the desk, and on the Monday following a deficiency of XI. as. was dis covered. The day after this discovery, seven of the shillings It hid) had been stolen were, to the surprise of Mr. Miller, found In their proper place. Of course the prisoner was accused. Ile Shelled the offence to the house, but admitted it to the beadle, whom he also informed that he had thrown away a false key, which he had procured for the lock, and which enabled him to enterciso a controul over the property. The prisoner fainted while the investigation was going forward. lie begged to be forgiven for the sake of a pregnant wife, declared that be was truly penitent, assured the Loan Hawn' that ire bad returned the seven shillings from a principle of integrity whirl operated - upon him while be was taking the money, having merely used it as a loan in the midst of distress of the most intolerable kind, and promised to reform and refund to the utmost farthing. The Lean MATO& commended the humanity that pardoned once, but thought the principle of forgiveness carried to a degree a weakness, by the complete restoration of the prisoner to his former employment. The prisoner was sent back to prison in the midst of his tears and entreaties. n ow .evescr.— Yesterday, Cone Luck, a young man employed as a servant in the house of Messrs.

MOVOPOLY: TO THE EDITOR- Bta—Tht Irish graziers' monopoly is_ not merely monopoly of trade ) bat Of land. For instance; tear most considerable cattle market in the United King: dom is Ballinasloe, in the County of Galway. In no part of the United Kingdom is the rent of lend so high as in the County of Galway: gr. Vansittart's Bill to equalise the Salt Duty, will throw open the international trade ih animal food as unrestrictedly, or as equally as it is in corn and other vegetable food, and will reduce' the - rent of lead in the County of Galway. Inasmtith es t h e graziers of Yorkshire, for instance, will supply ra ft e d provisions to the shipping of the port of Hull, and the* gran iers of the County of Devon to the shipping of .the port of Plymouth, the rent of land in the Countf of Galway must necessarily decline to its natural level. Unquestionably, by throwing open this trade r or by distributing the cattle in the County of Gal way over the soil of the United Kingdom, the rent of land in the County of Galway must decline ; and, vice.versa, it is the opinion of the Earl of Liverpool that there should be no Government interference with the subsistence of the people. Had his —nr‘.. I - ship's opinion been understood in It eland, it is ptoha. ble the Irish graziers' monopoly would not exi,t ; then the Provinces of Munster and Connaught would not be crowded as they are with cattle, and toe un fortunate peasantry in those Provinces would not he residing on mountains and in bogs, nor suffer, as rhe , ,- do, - the inexpressible miseries which follow in the train of famine and pestilence. I beg your permission, Mr. Editor, to comnauti. rate to those peasants, through the mcdium of the STAR, that upon the equalization of the sit!t duty, the surplus cattle will move off from the fertile clic- Alias, and they, the peasantry, who have to give precedence to those cattle, will move into those fertile districts, fiom the bogs and mountains in which they at present reside. The character of those peasants will he then bet ter understood. They hive been accused of niaitn ing or houg,hing cat tle from a vicious disposition—they have done so, - thinking that by diminishing the num ber of cattle they would diminish the amount of their 44 rack rents. The theory is good, thoti;:;l1 it were to be wished it had been humanely ieduce,l to practice. But Mr. Vansittart's Bill will prevent t'ais ill•treatment of cattle, by removing the caul:. Itowever, this two-faced monopoly of t:,e graziers, of trade and land, will still exi , t, ~hold a higher duty be levied in _Great Britain than in Ire land upon St. Übe's and other foreign salt, which would be, in effect, to diminish the rental of Bri tish laud-owners, to augment that of the Irish gra ziers, and to give a partial advantage io the Irish fisheries : whereas the thorough equalization of the salt duty would take from the superfluities of tile Irish graziers, and administer the total amount of those superfluities to the wants of the Irish peasantry .who are starving, or would have already stirva, were it not for the benevolent interposition of the British people.—l am, Sir, Your most obedient servant, Nay 28, 1828. K. T. CORONERS IxouzsTs.—Yesterday evening an In quisition was held at the Bull's Head, York-street, Westminster, before G. 41. Gam., Esq. Coroner, on zle body of Mrs. Martha Quigley, a fine young woman, aged 28, who was unfortunately killed on Monday afternoon. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. T. Quigley, a respectable tradesman residin; in George street, Portland Chapel, the father-in-law of the de ceased, that they had gone out, on Monday last, to spend the afternoon at Battersea with a few relations. While there they went to take an internal view of a windmill near the spot; they went to the top of it., and on their return, the deceased being foremost, she was suddenly missed—she had gone out on the land ing-place or stage, and at the same moment the mill stopped ; witness became alarmed, and on asking the cause, a man informed him that their friend was no more; and he, although a stranger, was weeping at the dreadful catastrophe that had happened. Wit ness then went out on the landing-place, and ob served the deceased lying prostrate ; she was alive, but totally insensible ; the blood flowed profusely from her head, ears, and mouth ; the deceased had been struck by the sails of the mill. She was afterwards conveyed as speedily as possible in a boat, as no coach could be procured, to the Westminster Infir mary, where she shortly afterwards died. Verdict— Accidental Death. An Inquisition was taken on Tuesday on the body of John Higton, only nine years old, lying at the Lon don Hospital. The deceased was received into the hospital as an in-patient on the Bth, in consequence of one of his arms being fractured by his falling in the street from treading on an orange peel. He lin gered until Friday, when he expired ; his body was then opened and.examined, when it was ibund that he had been labouring under a most grievous disease, as his liver and other internal parts were almost co vered with ulcers. It being the opinion of some of the Doctors that his death was accelerated by the accident, the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." DIED.
