If I , '--- . -• i 1 1 ~ 1 1 i- ti , .1' L T .......di .44 7 3 "AN7' rivors".• PAPER& The following is the Declaration addressed to the dlliorent Oorornmeats of Europe by the Allied Sore- reitris at Troppan , relatively to the affairs- at Naples, pitch was referred to -by the late article in'Tke divo t 'lax Observer. It was delivered to •the Senate at Hantbargh by the Austrian resident Minister, Baron HADSL. " The overthrow of the order of things in Spain, Por tagal, and Naples, has necessarily excited the cares and tits uneasiness of the Powers who combated the revela• tion, and convinced them of the necessity of puuing a chick on the new calamities .with which Europe is threatened. The same principles which united the great iiiivers of the Continent to deliver the world front the military despotism of an individual issuing from the re rotation, ought to set against the revolutionary power which has just developed itself. " The Sovereigns assembled at Troppau with this in 'teation venture to hope that they shall attain this object. They will bike for their guides, in this great enterprise, the treaties which restored peace to Europe, and have united its nations together. " Without doubt the Powers have the right to take, in common, general measures of precaution against those States, whose Reforms, engendered by rebellion, is openly opposed to legithnate governments, as example has already demonstrated, and. especially win-n this spirit of rebellion is propagated in the neighhouring State by secret agents. In consequence, the Alonarchs as sembled at Troppan have eiincerted together the men s rres required by circumstances, and have communi cated to the Courts of London and Paris theirintention of attaining the end desired, either by meditation Of by force. IVith this view they have invited the hang of the Two Sieilies to repair to Laybach, to alpear there as Conciliator between his misguided people and the States whose tranquillity is endangered by this state of things ; and as they have resolved not to recognise any authority established by the twill tions, it is only with the King that they can confer. " As the system to be followed has no other founda tion than treaties alre.dy existing, they have no doubt of the assent of the Courts of Paris and Loudon. The only object of this system is to consolidate the alliance between the Sovereigns ; it has no view to comities', or to violations of the independence of other powers. Vo iuutary ameliorations in the Government mill not be impeded. They desire only to maintain tranquillity, atm protect Europe from the Scourge of new revo lutions, and to prevent thews as far as possible." HO USE!. ESS POOR. At a meetipg of the Ueneral Committee, yesterday, an advertisement, explanatory of the intention to establish permanent receptacles for the Homeless Poor, was produced by the Secretary and agreed to.- We have no doubt that the furtiter appeal to the genero sity of the benevolent, which this appeal has rendered necessary, will be promptly and liberally answered. The rota, liavon, oho presided, assured the Com mittee they might rely upon his utmost assistance at all times in furtherance of the very laudable objects of the association. His Lordship, at the commence meat of his Mayoralty, informed the Committee that the use of rooms at the Mansion-house, or any other accommodation in his power, should be continued to be afforded. The charity was certainly under great obligations to the late Lord Mayor, and the kindness of the present Chief Magistrate will leave the Committee nothing to regret. It is one of the most pleasinf features of this Institution, that individuals differing widely in poll- Cial as well as religious opinions, are labouring in perfect harmony to promote the great object in view. Both asylums continue to be filled with inmates every night. Some of the theatres have again offered benefits in aid of the fond, and collections for the name purpose sill be made on Sunday next at several churches.

It TODD V. It nlll. This was an action on a policy of insurance on fruit urn board the Effort, at and from Zante to Hall, loss , averred to be by perils of the ilea'. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. Sea BLETT and Mr. F.Pou.oca, and the defendant's by the Sou crrou-ticuan•L, Mr. CAMPBELL, and Mr. W. Mae ut. The case was in substance this :-- The plaintiff, a merchant at Hull, employed a ship-broker, named French, to effect insurances on the goods in question. Through his agency, the defendant, an underwriter' of London, subscribed the policy for 200/. The ship being lost by perils of the sear, the defendant and the broker met to adjust the loss, and accordinyly it was adjusted at the amount of 165/. it happened. that the broker was indebted to the defendant, on his own personal account, in the sum of 661., which sum he set off against the RUM of 165/. giving the difference in cash, being a sum an/. The plaintiff now brought I his action against the defendant, on the ground that . he had no right to 4rt oil the broker's debt, in claim ' iug the loss under the policy. The question there fore was, whether this action could be sustained un der there circumstances? The Cuter JUSTIct charged the Jury, that it clearly could, and Ihe Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 63/. 16s. TCNAILES C. DRADDIcK. This trial seemed to excite a good deal of interest, I whether it arose from the larreness of the sum in volved in its Issue, or the nature of the claim which the plaintiff set up against the defendant. It was an action on the case, by whirie the former sought to re cover compeusat• fir a loss of 10,0110/. which ac crued to him from all adventure, in consequence of the alleged gross neglect, or wilful default of the de fentlant. The declaration contained a great many counts, hat the charges might he reduced to these three-Ist, gross neglect, that the defendant in Lou don, having a discretion given him to .consign to some volt in the Baltic, a cargo of brandy and ruin, from St. Jean de I.llz, lead made choice of I)antzie, the omit of all these ports, it hereby the adventure turned out a t o tal I,,ss to the plaintill.—Secomily, that be had not used due diligence, or made the proper in irides to obtain infortuation ; and, lastly, that he had sacrificed his correspondent's goods to his own piir ihnifs, being induced to send them to Dant ric, because lie had a scheme of bovine corn there on his unit ac count, and trading on the credit whirli the investment of these wines could rive bins. All these allega tions were of course denied, and on them the parties joined issue. After licaring evidence, and arguing till a very late hour, the Chief Justice charged the Jttry, who after an hour's deliberation, found for the plaintiff--Damages tine/. their verdict being on the Count for detaining the brandy at Dantric through the defendant's default. The case was on till half-past nine at night. -------- POLICE. I —.........—_ Mt LIMA LT..—Three fellows of notorious charact mete brought up yesterday, before Sir M. Iti.otta ~/ 1 by Hesketh, a City Officer, who had apprehended them the evening before as suspicious characters, by virtue oldie directious of the Lord Mayor, to take into etas. , Cody all persons of that desoriptiota foam* lurking about in the City. Heated, stated, that lie was in Long-lane, and oh. ' served the three prisoners, all of whom he knew to be loose characters, parading one side of the lane ; and i three other fellows, of equal notoriety, doing the same 1 on the opposite side. Suspecting them to be all of a i gang, and intent upon some auischiel, lie immediately ; attempted to detain them, and succeeded in appre- bending the three prisoners, but their companions ' made their escape. Mr. Wontnrr, the City Marshal, said the, neigh bourhood of Long-lane was infested by a most despe rate gang of thieves, and he narrated a circamstauce which bad occurred a few -nights ago, in Aldersgate street, when four of these fellows, p.rceiving them selves watched by a man, immediately fell upon him and beat him in a most untnerciful manner, and also the housekeeper to whose Atop he had fled fur protec tion. He could net say that the prisoners were part of this gang, bat he knew them to be bad characters; two of them had been tried at the Old Bailey. Sir his: mum lia.oxam gave no encouragement to the officer to apprehend persons of this description, but, on the contrary, observed, that whatever orders they might have received they were not to lay hold of whomsoever they might chose to suspect of intend• ing to du wrung ; if no crime was committed, officers , were not doing properly to take persons into custody. !" Suppose," said the Worthy llag:strate, `• a per -1 son should fancy I was a ll rogue, could lie . theranre have a right to take me into custody." I Such •being the opinion of :•lr Matthew , and no: actual charge being preferred against them by the , officer, the prisoners received an admonition, and were I again let loose upon the public. PC II LIC Of IKE. lion-s•reeer.—liesterday Helton Joliffe, Esq. M. P. charged Thcobald Cooling with having been constantly annoying him fur the last three.• months ; during which time he bad made use of some dreadful threats towards him, together with the most opprobrious epithets, calling him whh a loud voice, in the streets, a . monster, scoundrel, savage, Ike. and from the whom(' of his violent conduct towards him, Ur. Julitfe considered that lie went in bodily fear and danger. The prisoner being called upon by the Magistrate to account •for his outrageous conduct, endeavoured to make along statement as to his claims upon Mr. Juliffe--ataaerting that 1114.-Joliffe wash' the poansssiou and eajsayment of property to the antunasof thirty thousand pounds 1 bat which. stale , . latent the Magistrate would not listen to, it being no Ipart of the question before him.

Clew, stated iw our paper of yesterday, as charged with uttering a forged hill' of exchange, purporting to be drawn by John Bailey. John Bailey was called to prove that the signature to acceptattc'e was not his, but the Court decided that he was not a competent witness, as if the bill was a good one, he would be liable to pay the amount of it. There being no ether witness fur the prosecution, the prisoner was acquitted, and he fainted the mo ment he heard the verdict in his favodr. RousaaT.--Jakeeph Perri, a decent -1 looking middle-aged man, was capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of James Shoolbred, large quantity of figured stuffs,ideces of cotton, linen, &c. the property of the said James Shoolbred and John Frrgusson. This prisoner. was brought to justice in rather a 'singular wanner. Messrs. Shoolbred and Fergurson are linen drapers in Tottenham-court-road, anti a short time ago Mr. Shoolbred had occasion to attend at the Marlborough-street Petite Office to prosecute a young woman who was detected in stealing goods from his shop. During her examination the prisoner was seen making hinerelf very busy -about the office, and talk ing to the woman who was at the bar. lie was in toxicated at the tinte.—Wales, the officer, drew the attention of the Magistrate to Lis conduct, and Cie latter questioned him as to the nature of his acquain tance with the woman. Ile replied that she was his niece, and the Magistrate suspecting that lee was connected with her in the robbery, ordered him into custody. The uilicer having discovered his place of Rhode, obtained a search warrant, and wect with Mr. Shoolbred lo the prisoner's apartment in Oxford-mar ker, u here he rowel an immense quantity of stuffy, cottJus, and other similar goods. In a trunk in the room be also found 139 pawnbroker's duplicates, most of which mere for goods of tier same description. Most of the pieces were fielded on boards, as they are deposited in the draper's ships before sale. Air. Shoolbred iidentitied several of the pieces as his pro perty, and the greater part of the remainder was re cognised by persons who lead been pillaged by him. The pris:-•ier in his defence said, he did not know to whom the goods belonged. They were left at his house by a hawker, named Johnson, wbow he had kn l -11 about a year and a half. This Johnson was. arenstioned to call upon hint, and lee left the goods with the request that lee, the prisoner, would take care of them until he came agaio. Johnson had not called at the time he pr 'soil, and the prisoner being somewhat distressed, pledged part of the gubds. Mr. JaCirl PARK F. summed up the evidence, and the Jury f mud the prisoner guilty--Death. The prisoner stood again indicted fur stealing stuffs, and oilier goods, value and upwards, in the elwelliug-house of Henry Crietehly. Mr. Urntehly is also a linen-draper in Tottenham-court-road, and having been rohlerel, lee attended at .Karlborough street, and identified part of the property found at the prisoner's lodgings. The capital part of this indictment could Sot be sustained, in consegnence of the absence of a neces sary witness, named Mary Julian, Whore recog nisance's the Learned! Judge ordered to be entreated. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of the Larceny only. In the course of the trial, the police-officer handed a card to the Judge, on which something relative, we believe, to tile stolen property was writ ten. Mr. .Ittstice P tnKr, reanniting upon it, said, "This shows the fearful extent to %hid' those depredations have been carried. The law mina certainly take its course in this case. There were other indict•nents, but the Learned Joke •aid it was uet►ecessarr to try the prisoner upon thru►. Msktctous Sitonvixo.—Robert licomett, late a patrol of the Lambeth-street Police-otfice, was capi tally indicted for shooting at William Squires, on the 31st of lk.zember last, with intent to kill him. The indictment was laid under Lord Ellenborough's Act. William Squires stated, that on the day in question he went out with a gun, intending to shoot birds. This was about eight o'clock iu the morning, and on his return he was met by the prisoner, who called him to an account for earning arms, as not being a li censed person, and as it was contrary to a penal sta tute to shoot on Sundays. The prisoner demanded the gun from the prosecutor, which the latter, with out the least hesitation, immediately gave up, while Bennett told him hr should go with him to the Three Colts Public-house, there to give a more satisfactory acroont of himself. To this the prosecutor objected, mid was ing off, when the prisoner exclaimed, "By 6—d, if ou go. I'll shoot you !" upon which the °flirt- rep ed' .. You way if you like," and Bennett instantly tired, and lodged a quaatity. of shot in the back of the prosecutor. In his erns'-examination the prosecutor admitted that hr did nut believe at the time the prisoner in• tended to do him any harm. Mr. Justice PASKII, in consequence of this admis sion, direi•ted the Jury to acquit the prisoner, as he could be fould guilty of murder only upon the prin ciple of there lois% malice aforethought. • The prisoner was accordingly acquitted, and lie so lemnly declared, as lie left the bar, that be did not be lieve the gun to be loaded at the time he fired it. Scarcely a night passes in which there does not one or more robberies take place at Cosent-garden Theatre, either within the house itself or at the en tractes.
