LAW OF MERCIIANTS AND FACTORS. A respectable Meeting of the most distinguished cam- . mercial men in the Cify was yesterday held at the London Tavern, to consider the state of the above law. SMITH being unanimously called to the Chair, proceeded to state the course which had been taken with retard to the Bill, by the Committee appointed by the last Meeting, and by himself and those who actively stipportotE it in Parliament. They were all actin tinted with the griev ances which arose out of the operation of the existiog law between Merchant and Factor. The report of the Committee wonU be read to the Meeting, and would explain, better than he could do, what had been done on their part. But as he was esetremely desirous that the Committee should stand well with the Meeting, he u•ould make a-few remarks upon their conduct. II t lamented that they bad met with an opposition so formidable from some of the most distitt gitialieol individuals in the profession of the law, as to be oblige!' to give up a great portion of what they asked, in order to secure something. It had been °Mooted to this, that by accepting the smaller part the y- had given up the :weer; but he was 'of a decidedly *different opinion.— Baying the grand principle conceded to them, he knew not upon what ground their opponents won' I stand when they came to refuse the rest. After acknowledging the geelont and able attention which had been paid to tke sub .1(43 by:Loril ititerpoid, Mr. Hnskisson, and Mr. Wallace, the lion. Gentleman a sitl he would call the attention of the Meeting to another subject not wholly disconnected with the especial object for which they had assembled. The commercial interest was certainly most important, be liked not to say the most important to the welfare of the country. Its prosperity was undoubtedly bound up with the general prosperity of the empire. lie would therefore suggest whe ther it would not be worthy of consideration that some per manent body shonld be established for attending to thenn terest and remedying the grievances of commerce in gene ral—(lieer, .hear.)—All other countries possessed such institutions, and had derived bent fit from them; was it therefore .proper that this, the greatest commercial state upon the earth, should rein tin withoutthem?—(ifear, hear.) The lion. Gentleman coneleded by moving, " That the Iteport be veld," and intreated that strict attention might be paid to it. Thelteport was then read to the Mi•eting. Mr. HALL and Mr. Sheriff THOMPSON briefly expressed their concurrence with the Report of the Committee, and it was moved and seconded by them, That the said Report be printed and di.tributed amongst those Gentlemen who signed the Petition to Parliament." The Resolution was onsnimoasly agreed to. A Gentleman, *hose name we could nut hear, said that he agreed with every etilogiutn which hail been passed ripen the conduct of the Committee. Although little had been gained by the immediate provisions of the Bill, yet the information which Itail been conveyed to the Mentbers of the Administration, ;tett to the public in general upon „the question, would have gained so much for them. that they should return to the contest upon the very ground which their opponents formerly possessed. lie enforced the necessity of a holy whose especial care it would be to watch constantly over the interests of the City of Lon don 1 • and co•iclitiling by tinning a resolution of thanks to the Parliamentary Committee, which was carried unani monsly. 11.solittions of thanks were also voted to the Chairman and to Mr. T. Wilson, who briefly return-11 thanks. It was moved and carried that copies of the Report be presented to Lord Liverpool, Mr. Iltisksson, and Mr. Wal lace, as the best means of shooing the ze.pect and grafi !tele of the meeting. A resolotion of thanks was next voted to Mr. Fresh field, the Solicitor of the Committee, who rein neii thanks., 310 explained the nature of the law which It been passed. Mr. WILSON moved a resolution, which s t a ted that in eon...gamice of the strong feeling which had been expressed by the meeting upon the subject of instituting a Chamber of Commerce in the City of London, it was expedient to refer the subject to the Conintitte.l with power to add to their rointher. The resolution was carried unaniusousiy, and several Gentlemen expressed their warm concurrence in i ts ohject. The meeting then adjourned. POLICE. ✓ Matrxtow House.—Yesterdav Saearmaa, the porter of the Auction Alert, earl his wire, and-qwetit a final examin. nylon, on the charge of stealing the three diamond rings, the property of Mr. Williams. Mr. Sadler, the pawnbroker, attended, and begged leave • to vindicate himself before the public, and clear himself from the impression whirth had been made against him by what had b e ers stated before his Lordship, and reported in the public prints. He did not absent himself to avoid any charge; but in fart wss present to meet any thing that might be said, and went away for the purpose of sending his shapenan, who was the person whose evidence was ne eessrry. When be (Mr. Sadler) returned home, and was inform•d that three pretty paste rings had been purchased for 10.. he looked at them, and thought their appearance was donhtful. lie put them by for the purpose of proving them, and determined if they should prove to be diamonds, that proper steps shonlil be taken to find the woman. in a short tin..., however, Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Williams came into the shop and claimed them ; but the ahopman by no means answered in an evasive manner, and asked no other quest'ons than those which acre customary. Secresv, for olrs6nis reasons, was a duty of Ilia trade; and it wls re• ctssary to ascertain that ituriries were warrAntrd before information ought to be granted. The glass tleAcrilptl ps a microscope was a common tna.sritifyinir glass, which seas used to examine oh small articles, but no one could tell a diamond by it—or. indeed, by any other glass. There were paste articles tr hich had been imposed in large quantities on pawnbrokers at the west end as diamonds. The LORD Maxon—Mr. Sutler, is the shown= in any way in partnersldp with you? Mr. Sadler.—Not at all. The LORD I,e in any way have derived profit lc the purchase? Mr. Sadler.—No; if one hundred pounds had been made by the p urc hase he would not have benelitted one far th ing. he Lor . n Marna said that the explanation given by Mr. Sadler hal perfectly exrnl,.ated him, and cleared his shop. risn from any imputation that might have appeared against I oh Mr. Sailer here produced a quantity of brilliant jewels before the Lord Mayor, saying, now Mr. Isaacs, you have dealt much in diamonds, you can, perhaps, point out those in the parcel which are otamonils. Mr. Isaacs 'oohed over the parcel, awl sf - er having exa snined two jewels selected th-rn as diamonds. Mr. Sadler said now his Lordship had a proof before him that even jotlges might he deceived. The whole of the articles out of which Mr. Is lace had mad,' the selection of what he cons;dered to he diamonds, were paste. air. Istacs disclaimed being a professed judge of dia monds, and complaint's' at losing talon by surprise. Same pawilbrok rs present said that a species of quartz was made op by the French so closely to resemble dia monds, that the first judges in the trade Lad been derrau led by them. The only direct evidence against the male prisoner of having stolen the diamonds, was his oto confession. The depositions were taken fur his commitment, and that of his ail', when open ea uining air. Isaacs, the Latter stated he had told the mad- prisoner that lie wools' save a deal of trouble if he would confess. The prisoner upon this confessed. The Lotto Marron considered tinder these circumstances that the confessioe of the ma' , prisoner could not he made evidence Against him. Ills Lordship then discharged both prisoners, with an admonition on the narrow cstape they had hail from commitment. AIL Sadler gave up the tratno:3l rings t.) Mr. Williams. I. . . 'TIE STATESMAN. Bow STaaßT.—Tats HiDDeN TReASURIL,L—A young man. of the tame of Waking. Jones was yesterday 'brought tee she Of fi ce mirweharge of having, by divers -steatagetnsob-, .pined from Mrs. Prober[ alias Hulk, an old .lady .of peon-; .riott3 habits, a treasure of incalculable value. Preen the statement of the parties who preferred this charge, it ap-' „pewit that the defendant; with his wife, had lodged in the, _seine house with Mrs. Probed, in the neighbourhood all Clare Market,aud'tinding that she.was possessed of untold' gold, they contrived to wheedle themselves into her good graces, and to supplant her relations in her favour. rnately they persuaded her to remove to lodgings, which Jones provided for her in Carey Street, and here haring ' her completely in their power, they not only obtained smell sums from her in aid of their own support, but carried off her boxes containing bags of cash, wearing apparel and various other valuables to an immense extent. Under so serious a charge Jones was apprehended, and the boxes in question were found in his lodgings. On now investigating the affsir, it turned out that so far were these boxes from ' containing money, that their contents simply consisted of petticoats, and other articles of wearing apparel, which wore of very ,ancient date in point of manufacture; and which also bore the appearance of having done ample scr• vice in the days of their youth. As to money, none was found, and, indeed, it turned out that the old lady was only in the receipt of 251. a year, with such perquisites as she might have received as a pew-opener of Lincoln's Inn Cha• pel, amounting perhaps to as witch more. The ground of the supposition that she was possessed of great wealth was the fact of her living on a most narrow scale. It further appeared that she had employed Jones to obtain an allow- ance of 3s. a week for her from the parish. Among other acts of the old lady's foresight, which were mentioned, was the fact of her having already paid the expencos of her fn• neral, and selcuted the ground in which her remains are to be deposited after death. The boxes in question she gave to Jones, as a mark of her regard for the kindness and attention which he and his wife - had paid her. Upon the part of Jones several persons spoke in the high est terms of his integrity, and after full consideration, Sir Richard flirnie directed he should be discharged, and that the property whiols he bad received from the old lady should be returned. • Penile NUISANCES.—A butcher keeping a shop in Church Court, St. Martin's, was fined 40s. for hanging three sheep outside of his shop, which extended over the pavement. The penalty was indicted under Mr. Taylor's ne.v Act. HATTON GARDEN,—APPLTERATION OP BRIAD —The activity of the of intruded with warrants for sear. ping the premises of the bakers within this district, has led to another detection. A baker of the name of Robt.rt James was convicted of having alum in his possession, and fined 41. and costs. QUEEN SQUAlM—Yesteradr Thicker, a private in the Third (unk, wat brought to this office, eh tree I with attempting to violate the person of a fine little girl, named Holmes, only four years of age. It appeared by the evidence of the mother, that the pri soner ►odges in the same hou-e with her, and is a married man.—lle took a great deal of notice of the child, and appeared very fond of it, and the child was frequently in his apartment, which the witness did not object to, not having the slighett idea that he would attempt any thing improper. On Wednesday the prisoner enticed her into his r,som, and gave her sonic bread and butter ; in a short Cale after she came crying to witness, and described to her the nalwe of the outrage which the prisoner had commit ted ; and a sergeon was seta fin, who examined the child, and found that she had sustained a serious injury.—The prisoner was committed (or trial. MARY•LE-RONNE OFF:CE.—CAPTCRE OP A FORTUNE TELLER.—YeAenkv, in consequence of information lodged at this office, the ciiief officer, accompanied by Hooker, went to a boost" in Ogle Street, where, after exploring the intricacies of a winding staircase, they succeeded in disco vering the sanctuary of a fortune teller, the sybil of fate being at borne; and on the entrance of the officers, in the act of ilingin,r from the window a pack of cards and other figures used in the " Black Art." She was secured and hrone lit to the office, where she gave her name Mary Pa rke.. and wan arraigned under the new " book of fate," vulgarly termed the " Vagrant Act." The ile;inquent, it seems, by the performance of the mys terious parts of her profession, had frightened the per sons residing in Ogle Street It was supposed, the " gift" she bad received did not include herself, as she fell a very easy capture into the hands of justice. Two pretty looking servant maid., named 6rife and Steven, attended, and de taihrl he fortunes which the sybil had lob! them : one was to have a " ulee, fair, steady gentleman ;" and the other was tO_ l tlaYe a beautiful young man, in full work, and with large expectations," fiar husbands; and, iniact, under the idea that all this was to happen, they bad quitted two very comfortable situations; and then the old woman had endeavonred to prevail upon one, for the accomplishment of her" fortune," to go Into a house which was afterwards discovered to be a brothel. On making this discovery, the girl informed her friends, and she was brought forward as a witness. • The lady said she only told fortunes for amusement. The Magistrate remanded her for another examination. She was removed, dealing out anathemas against the two girls, who appeared afraid of h. r. nanLISOROLGH STitesr.—/Ifacgaret Kelly was brought up among , t the night charges, far haying picked a gentle man's pocket. 111 r. James Smith, of Broad Street, Bloomsbury, deposed, that, on the night preceding, be was on his way home thrAigh Oxford Street, when the prisoner at the bar acco,t ed him, lie desired her n3t to interrupt hint, hat she clang round his waist. and it was not until lie used the most post. tive language, that the prisoner WOlll4l Wail( on. The mo ment she parted from him, he missed, on t of his own pocket, a purse, containing I/. liia. II,1.; and, therefore, followed her, at some distance behind, bat without losing sight of her, to ao obscure house in the neighbourhood. Ths pri soner went up stairs, and witness procured a watchman. On going up stairs the prisoner was found avenipting to conceal herself behind a door. Site immediately exclaimed, " I suppose you want your money;" and led them to the bottom of the stairs, where she had concealed the pars: in a hole. Witness said he did not wish to prosecute the pri: Mr. ROE, the sitting Magistrate, said, that this was a clear case against the prisoner; and she was last alonday accused of robbitiz a person of a sovereign. Mr. Roe, therefore, thought it quite necessary site should be checked in her racer of thieving.—Fully committed. LAMBETH Sruvay.—Yesterday tao men anti a woman rune l.fore the presiding alagistrates at ties o.iice, to give information against some persdn, whom th-y accnsed of haying broke open the Depository Housr. of the London Hospital on Monday, -the Nei instant. It aapeared, how ever, on examini.:l them, that the men hail been themselves body stealers• and the woman acensed her hushatpl of the ti.one crime. A reward of 201. had been offered for the ap prehension of the perpetrators, and, as the object of the prevent acrusstion was merely to ohntia the reword. the Magistrates dismissed the accusing parties with merited re proof. UNION-11,11.1.—Yeater.117 Jok:t If7rarton. who stated himself in be e of the err i waiters at Vanzhall Gardens, was brought before b. B. ALLEN, El. charged with having robbed a tientlemsti, named Jones, of Lill. The Superintendent of the Police, station-41 in the Gardens to preserve the pe we, said, that about 1611-past 12 o'clock onAt?e preceding .&gbt, be %vas on ditty in the Barden., tell observed Mr. Jones, who appeared to have had rather till midi win", sitting in one of the. boxes, and the prisoner actin_ in a very o.ticions manner about his {venom. 1 he ellicer kttpt his eye on the prisoner, and in 4 t•LOTt tint? saw n tu-tt.k: a. puts-t' seitli•out of Ili. Jones's hand.--Witness then asked the prisoner who and what be , was.—lle replied, that Its was a .waiter in the hardens; that the.gentleman, whose pocket-book be was takiag care of, was an Old waster of Isis, and special care should be taken that no harm should come either to him or bis property. The witness was not satisfied with this account, and fur she purpose of aseertaiting, from the conductor of the hardens, whethfr the prisoner was in the capacity of waiter there, be left him and Mr. Jones•together. Upon Isis return, he found that they had 'left the box where he first saw•theso, and that the prisoner was supporting Mr. Jones to an unfrequented part of the Rudest. As soon as Wharton perceived the constable and Mr. Kaghes together. he turned round and exclaimed, " Oh, here's the Gentle- man," and was about to leave Mr. Jones, when witness cried out, " Stop, you must give ow leave to search you be fore sou go," and seized the prisoner, who kept his hands closed very tightly. Witness with touch difficulty opened one hand, front which he took a piece of paper, which turned out to be a tavern bill that had bean taken from Jones's pocket-book. The prisoner then made violent efforts to get away, and swore that Isis other hand should not be forced open. The witness, however. ma% determined to effect his object, and in an instant the prisoner put his hand to his month. stuffed in a piece of paper and swallowed it. It was subsequently proved that Mr. Jones had been robbed of a 201 note, and the o ffi cer stated that he had no ' doubt the prisoner ha d wade away with it in the way de scribed, for in addition to the other grounds of suspicion, Wharton said upon swallowing the paper, " It's all gone." Mr. Jones admitted he was tipsy at the time, but he re colleited that the waiter was very officious about his person, and believed bile to be the thief. lu his pocket book he bad upwards of 3701. and fortunately all he misted was one 201. note. The prisoner was committed. CORONER'S INQUESTS. Au Inquisition was taken yesterday afternoon on vie* of the body of a youth named John Briggs, aced about 14.

A boat ryas immediately called for, and °Became with grappling irons, but the dece.sed was not had out until two or three hours had elapsed, when tne tide left him near the spot where he sunk. Verdict—Accidental Death. An Inquest was held at seven o'clock last evening, at the heft Moon, Stretton-ground, Westminster, on the body of J. Willlasnaros. aged a:, years.—Mrs.Wieliamson, a widow, resid ing at No. r'4, Stretton-grounO, stated that the deceased was her son, and a married man, but did nut live with his wife; he had formerly been at sea, and latterly out of work, and en tirely dependent upon her for suppturt. His spirits had been broken by distress, and he took a quantity of liquor that af fected his brain ; and such was his despairing condition, hav ing no bed to sleep in, or place to lie at niot, except on a few rags huddled together on a mangle in a cellar ; where the body lay when viewed by the Jury. Witness tmik in washing and mangling, but had very little to do ; and the deceased went to bed supperless on Wednesday night. Ile had heen observed during that day, and preciously turreto. to be in a most melan choly condition; and on the , renown': (yestainiy) morning. he was found hanging in the cellar quite dead. Sde believed that distress had driven him mad, anal caused him to destroy hint selr. Verdict—insanity. A woman, named Mary Madden, lodging in a bark room of the first floor. at No. 1, West Street, the next louse to Field Lane and Saffron 1101, put a period to her own life yesterday, under the following circutustances: at one o'clock in the afternoon, a woman who lodged in the sante room with her came home from market, and being tired she stripped olf her clothes and went to bed, she being up from three o'clock in the morning. Some time after the deceased, who aas sitting on a chair in the room awoke her, and told her to curne , und put her to bed. The other replied, " What are you so drunk already, that von are not able to go to bed deceased re plied; " No, but you will have to lay me oat and wake me too." The woman got up and found her sitting in a chair with her throat cut, and the entire floor covtred with blood ; she ran out and gave an alarm, and !dr. Davis, who keeps a clothes shop next door, and Barnsley, the beadle, entered, and found her as already described.— Davis asked her who cut her throat c she said she did her self with a razor, pointing to one which lay open on the door, and that she did it from distress. Barnsley had her carried to liartholo.new's Hospital: and the surgeon, on examining her wound, asked Ilarusley how old she was.— He said he believed 60; she immediately answered, " I am 70, 34 years of which I au' in London." Her a indpipe was severed. After speaking a few words more which could not be understood, she expiMd. An inquest will be held ou the body this afternoon at four o'clock. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, au inquisition was held at the Illack horse, Queen-street, before Mr. Stirling, on the body of Rebecca Jones, a woman aged 40, who on Wed nesday put a period to her existence, by hanging herself. It appeared that she lived with her husband at No. 6, Queen street, and had latterly been troubled with en affection in the head, which produced excessive pain ; she ales frequently drank to excess. On Wednesday morning her husband, who is a tooth-brush maker, went over to Lambeth on some busi ness, and OH his return, on pushiag open his door, he was horror-struck at finding his wife hanging by a cotton handker chief. He did not cut her down, but gave an alarm, running out to a nephew's of his in Castle-street. Some of the' lodgers came down, and after a few minutes delay she was cut down and placed on the bed, and Mr. Whatley, the parish sur geon. and air. Tweedale, another surgeon, were sent for. Mr. Tweedale came and endeavoured to bleed her, but without any effect, as only about half a tea-spoonful of blood could be squeezed front the orifice ; his opinion was, that she had been dead some time; her husband had gone out soon after five o'clock in the mornining, his wife also then got up and was partly dressed. A young child was in the room, who soon after six o'clock saw its mother tie the handkerchief to the bed post, and put it round her neck, but no farther did the child see as it fell asleep. • The Jury questioned the husband particularly as to his not instantly cutting his wife down, hnt It clearly ap peared he laboured under extreme terror; Indeed, there ap peared some hesitation on the part of other witnesses to per form the act. She had latterly not been very well, and at times laboured under aberration of mind. The Jury returned a ver dict of—lnsanity. An inquest was held yesterday at the White Hart, Turnham Green, on the body of James Edmund Springsll, Esq., a Gen tleman of c insiderable properti, who died suddenly while pre paring to enter a stage coach to come to town. Verdict— " Died by tile visitation of Gud." SUICIDE.—at Sunday morning a respectable female of the name of Marstfall, residing in Marshall's-row, at the nsrth part of the town, was found suspended by a sash line to a nail in the back kitchen.' She was married, and was discovered by her hut:bend on his return from chapel, she having availed her self of his absence to comciit the rash act. No specific cause j can be assigned for it, but she was subject to fits of despon dency, and had sevt rat times before attempted to destroy her self. A Coroner's inquest was holden on the body on Monday morning, when a verdict of Lunacy was returned. The de ceased was about 49 years of age, and has left two children, the youngest of whom was only fourteen mouths old, and who was found in a garret. where it is supposed the unhappy mu ther had left it.—(firiyfifon Gazette.) At Ashley Lodge, in the Parish of Porlock, an inquest was held on the hotly of John Jones, aged 4S. Deceased had fur many years been in the employment of Lord King. at his beautiful romantic villa at Ashley, and front his strict integrity and sobriety. and being a most confidential servant, he was universeily esteemed in that neighbourhood. Unfortunately it had been latterly discoverd that he was labouring under some dreadful Impressions of mind, and for a few days hid become so delirious is to resider it necessary to have persons to sit up with him, On sue night of Tuursday last, three persons'at tended him, but towards the morning he eppearing more trsts gull and apparently milers', his protectors also asleep, and about four in the morning deceased escaped from them iu his shirt only, and went to a hay-house about two hundred yards distant, where he put a period to his existence by Ilsiag the head of a halter over a side timber of the building, mad plac ing his head in a noose of the other end, then threw himself.'; in which situation he was found quite dead. Verdict—lnsattity, dinee the inquest it has been discovered that the unfortunate man was one of those unhappy mortals who believed in witch. craft, and under the stupid belief that he was hewl:ched, had actually sent a person to one of the Baker fatuity (1 notorious set of impostors who reside near Collumptou), to be infurn el of the means of freeing himself from the rnisehievuus aga v v which afflicted him. It is truly lamentable that at this peri4 of society such idle notions shuuld still exist in tie wooer% part of this county, and it Is most sinc-rely to be Itopsd th,i enough will hereafter be elicited resptciotr this tuelanehof event to cause the person to be prosecuted who is supposed t • have dared to %joists the lows of his country, by pi.:1.54 tan pocket and harassing the mind of this unfortunate. WV!, 41 , 1 to lead him to the commission of the fatal deed.—(7:rontss courier:) THUNDER STORII ON TUESDAY. AIARGATE —On Tuesday. between l?. and 1 o'clock. most singular phenomenon was witnessed by many of the inhabitants of this place. The clonds, highly impregnate( with electric matter, commenced an awful ditch:vv, about three miles from the harbour, the fluid ilesci in a serpentine manner from the atmosphere ra Ihr se a . • in regular streams of most vivid lightning, dirlosing a light at once brilliant, awful,sahlime, and interesting.

That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marri 'Ale, en en raptured his auditors with the aubjee, that the married men flew to their wires. and the bachelors letstened to be wedded; and "The Sneetator" ntfirin st, that the word " wife" is the most agreeable and delighttil name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, munpasses the desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only w.th hap piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of uurestricted pleasure mar have retailed upon it. To the neg:ect of such attention are attributable, many of those hapless instances, which. while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
