A sudden holisposition rendered it impossible for me to attend the General Court on Thursday last. But the report made to rate of what passed there, by a Proprietor present, upon whose accuracy I can rely, is as follows: The Chairman, according to usage, and witlinht any in formation as to the state of our it Wain. which 'night ramble us to perform tie dilly for which we were assembled, name ly, " consider of a disidend," proposed that live p, cent. should be divided as the profits of the prereding half year, and was going to put his proposal to the vote, w hen the lima Mr. Bouverie rose, and after a referenee to the pa pers, Colin which he argued, that tlw !profits bade had bei:n more than ilunble the sr. ttttt nt of the pruposei dividend, moved that fin instead offer per cent. should he the divi dend for the half year. No Proprietor seemailed this motion, hot Mr, Terry, after some observations, Moved fors diva. demi of six ma cent. which motion was seconded by Mr. Homer: le, put to the vote, and upon a sliesi of hands,'" car ried tg a great mujorii . y," anal so declared by the Cbairmao. The hitivtiou then was her. by formally and legally decided, when the ! 4 :ecretary of the Directors stated, that sit existin Act of Parliatornt required that nu increase of dividend could take place, except by ballot, to be held within three days from the pet iu h when it 'Mould have hem] ',mill by the (kiterar Court. The only point, then, remaining to be settled, appeared to lae the Jay of ballot. But, strange to say, after a variety of observations on 11w part of the Direr. tors, and of the Mover and Seconder of the adopted amend tweed, during which coniersation several Proprietors mime in, who had sot been present when the vote passed, the Chair man, without assigning any reason to justify so novel and extraordinary a proceeding, " again" put to the vote the our , tion that had been already solemnly decided, and upon • thew of hands for and against Mr. Terri% amendment, slate.l the nombers Ull each side to he equal; mid, as Chair- . wan, ;slim; his casting V1)1c against" the amendment, de clared that it was negatived, and that his own original pro p ...0 lain for a dividend of five per ant. oas ;Outdid. This was followed by a motion of adjUarritmetst, Bud thus ended the curious o'o.as-dings of this day '." ! I will not inside your understandings by making ;any com ment on these transactions, though, I confess, tam at a loss to rweijettort hew the Proprietors peseta could suffer titian to pass without tiotico or resistance. Nor do I regret the loss of the hieing increase of one per tent. to the dividend, convinced, as I am, from the facts stated iu the three Let ters which I have before' had the howour of adalnessiug to yam, that instead of " *LT," oar pasties would retitle na to " t i me, p e r mat."

Eliza and Sarah Lou•e were indicted for stealing a number of Bank -notes, and a watch, from the person of Anthony Burton, his property. The Prosecutor, who is a carpenter, and resides at Hendon, stated, that, on the 9th of September, he was proceeding to Covent-garden, after having spent the evening with a friend in I lottiorti. Not Ewing acquainted with town, he int.took his way, when he met with Eliza Lowe, and another prosti tute, Who promised to set blue right. They led him througio a great number of streets. and at length took him to a house in Charles-street, Drury-lane, where he found the Prisoner, S irah. In her room he went no bed, and fell asleep. lie awoke ;shout five o'clock in the morning, and discovered that he had been rubbed of his %%Ad* and money. An of fleer wit% sent for, who took the Prisoners into cus tody—and his property was, in consequence, re. tu rued. The Jury retnroc.:l a verdict of guilty against Eitza, and acquitted Sar,iii Lowe. J. C. Godsciq was in lusted for steslinst a variety of book., the property of Thomas The Prosecutor occasionally deals in books. and F 34.7 the works in question, consisting of Burn's Justice and The Theory rf tie Earth, in his shop, a few minutes before they were orAolvii. The Pri soner offered them for sale at a broker's, and same suspicion arising, as to the way in which he be came- possessed of the property, he was taken into custody. Tot Prisoner said, if he had taken the books, he was unconscious of the fact. The Rector of Whitecluipel, who was on the Bench, stated, that lie had no doubt, lint, ut times, the Prisoner was insane. About eight yews shier, when he entered the church, he observed the ii.oner in the middle aisle, acting like 34 person afflicted by mental derangement. The Reverend Gentleman inquired, " what he was doing there ?" He said he was come to take his place, for his sins were numerous--" mid," said he, pulling out a long written list, " here is a catalogue of them." He afterwards had the Prinsoner confined, as a lu natic. Some time after he hail recovered, and was liberated from the road-house, his wife brought some books to him (we Rector) and said, " Job is mad again —he lays out all his money in hooks, of which he knows nothing." He had been since con tined—uod the Reverend Gentleman was certain, that, two years since, lie was in a state of insanity. Several other witnesses came forward, and de posed to the recent insai,ity or the Prisoner. The Jury Acquitted the Prisoner, on the simpo sition that he was insane at the time he took the property. Robert Taylor, who wits indicted in the rebruary Sessions, for s!ealiiig a leather-lied anti other arti cles, but who, on urcuinit of deafness, was incapa ble of iiiiswt4ilig to the indictment, was again tir.aiglit up to !blend. • • . . 11 remained, as before, quite mute. Mr. New man and the Common Serjeant endeavoured to ex plain to him the sitiintion in which he stood, and the course which Ise . ongfit to pursue; but their ef forts, by voice and sign, were entirely useless. The Cost tots S£C.JEANT observed, that the Pri soner hail not plated to the offence, either being actuated by obstinacy, or prevented by the visita tion of God. If from obstinaCy he remained mute, unit would not plead, the presumption of the law was, that he was guilty. But if, from "the visita tion of God lie was incapacitated from pleading, it would remain for the after evidence was called to that fact, to acquit or condemn him. Mr. Newman, the keeper of Newgate, was then sworn. He deposed that lie had fteqnently at tenipted to explain to the Prisoner the nature of pleudbig, both verbally amid by signs—he had also written down the necessary instructions— hot all in vain.
