The Coss stow SE IMFANT, in his charge to the Jury, observed, that it was quite a delusion to suppose that Any one could identify port wine by the look, or even by the taste ; but if a wine-mer chant's servant was detected in going out of his master's house with two bottles of wine concealed in pockets like those of the pawner, it was fur them to say, as lie gave no account of how lie came by thetrine, whether he has cut purloined it from his master's stock.

Another count duetted him with an intent() defraud Captain Brown. Ile was found POLiCE. MANSION-lit/USE. On Saturday two well-dressed men, named /looker and Fisher, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having prac tised a great variety of deceptions upon the public. Mr. stephenson, a chain-cable manufacturer at Liverpool. stated, that in the month of January application was made to him for a ehain.cable, by a Ilan calling Midi *. Friend. Robinson, and Po , Phillip-street, rommereial-road ;" and a reference to a Hem at Li. verpool was given for the ascertainment of the respectability of the house. The cable was supplied without personal communication with any of the firm, and a bill for alit. the price of the article, was drawn upon them by the witness rc„-klarly aecepiol by the house, ! and transmitted by post. Mr. Booker, who figured army its one of the principals of the cmcern, upon receiving the chain took it off! in a ship.chandler, and requiated permission to have it on his ! promises until the ship Mr • filch it was intended should arrive. Before that period however arrived, Mr. Booker brought with him to the ship-chandler's premises a n to whom he said lie had sold it. The drain was delis , to that person, anti tio doubt eonvcrted into cash for the benefit of the firm. Tito company then I wrote to Mr. Stephenson, stating the cable gave great satisfaction, and ordering another of eimaiderably greater site and value, which,' they intended for a *hip of theirs hound for New South Val -a. and lying nt Plymou th . %Viten the cable artived the ship was no: to be found, but the firm were not negligent. They sent it round to ! Portsmouth to another vessel of theirs, but unfortunately the cable' did not tit that ship. Booker then took another of the firm named! Barris to a respectable auctioneer, introduced him as Captain Thompson, said the Captain had a cable which was too small for his vowel and wished to dispose of it, and directed the auctioneer to sell it immediately. The bills were due and dishowured. Mr. Edmund House, of No. 119, Upper Thames -street, agent to the auctioneer, stated, that his principal had, in consequence of the representations of Booker, pail the freight for the cable at Portsmouth, and given 90/. on account to hint, as he did not wish to law a bill for so small a sum. The cable was sold br and ciafler a deduction of the expenses, produced the sun; of 1121. for which the auctioneer drew upon the witness. ll'itness accepted the bill, and made it payable at Ma banker's, in lie. mew's-lane. Soon afterwards • woman called upon him with the bill, said she had received it from one Mr. Harris, for the balance of an account respecting scone oil paintings, sad as she would prefer cash to • bill, told witness that if he would give her cash she would make him a handsome present. Witness had how. ever by this time ascertained that the hill had got into the hands of a rang of swindlers, whose operations were of the most extensive nature; and be endeavoured to prevail upon the woman to give it up, but she refused ; and he is convinced that she is an accom plice in the deceptions practised through the country by the firm of •• Friend, Robinson, and 1'o." Mr. Stephenson then called upon witness to give him an indemnity against the consequences of not paying the bill, as he had previously advertised the par ticulais ui tt, cautioning the public against giving cash or goods for it, as it would not be taken up when due. Witness called upon Mr. Harmer, who had been applied to on the occasion, and clot gentleman advised the firm to give up ilk bill, as it was a fraudulent transaction. They persevered however in detaining it. Mr. Hurst, of W ellington -terrace, said that Booker had written to him to Alldhurst, in Surrey, stating that he was • broker at Shadaell, and informing him that lie had • cargo of flour which would reach him in a day or two. Witness agreed to take the flour, and inclosed his acceptances for 'SOL and IOW. to Booker or H•rker, as he then called himse lf . The flour never arrived. Mr. Hobert Chaplin, of No. lld, Long-lane, needle maker, stated, that Booker called at his house, said he wanted a large qyaiiiityof needles for !kiwi:mix, and left the copy of Mr. Hunt's bill, requesting that inquiry might be made. On the back of the copy was " Mr. John I:arker ' White Bart Inn, Borough." The goods were not delivered. Witness went to Mr. Hurst, who said the bill was as good as • bank-note, and that he had given it for a cargo of flour, which lie ezpeeted A constable who amireliended Hooker produced Mr. Ilurst's bill for I.AII. and stated that Booker, upon being taken, titre the bill and entivavoured to sahllow it ; in making the attempt to effect whith lie bit the officer's finger. A number of letters were found upon Booker of a very suspi cious description. It appears that he had gone by sieveral names, amongst which are the following :—Captain Williaa.s, Mr. Stiff , find. 31y. firaen,__lll r. Smallwood, Ac. . _ . The prisoner Fisher was apprehended upon susp . .eion of being one of the gang, but the only rocumstance mentioned against him upon the present occasion was, that in his possession was found a letter front Booker, directed to hint, and stating as follows I arrived with just sufficient to bring me hear. I forwarded the needful to lanidtm. I find I shall want a little money to rarry me to Basingstoke, at least V. I have no doubt of succeeding. Address me, 'l'hatilas :Banns, Miditarst."

Mr. Harmer. the Solicitor, anti several gentlemen, friends of the prisoner, were in attendance by I'ICIICII o'clock ; and the Mike was crowded to cacao by persons of the first respectability, whose in , Wrest had been deeply excited in behalf of the accused.

On Saturday, a ships company of Dorms, sixty in number, an , peered at the above office to endeavour to obtain some relief front ' ' the Magistrates. The applicants were discovered sitting in ll'estminster-ball in the early part of the morning, and drir squalid appearance excit ing some curiosity, a number of persons, whose business called them to attend the courts of law, emwdod round to hear their story. The poor fellows were siuiog in the interior of the 11.11 with great composure, and imagined that without making any tom. plaint their wants would have been relieved. Sevens! persons ques. boned them, when one, who apporred older than the rest, said they came from Bengal in the Nero of Malone. about 210 days since ; that on board the vessel they experienced great ill-treatment from the Captain, and, upon complaining to him of their surerings, Ix told them to jump overboard. Ito arriving in England, they were put on shore at Robinson's Whitt BLlckwall„ and having slept there until the present time, in whatever place they could, they at length applied to the Lord Mayor from his bordallip, they, how ever received no relief, as they were informed that !remold do nothing with, oe for them. They then formed a resolution of complaining to " de King of die country," and had drawn up a letter, which they Intended personally to present to his Majesty. The persons who had heard this statement considered that such an interview was not likely to take place, and directed these sixty sable to call at the nearest Police-office, and no doubt the largt a rt e t: would take some notice of them. They accordingly waited on Mr. Markland at the above Office. Ile heard the preceding statement, and ettandned the letter, which was addressed to "Ilys Majesty, 'l'lle King George the Fourth," he. &c. ht. The letter also con tained a complaint against the ('aptain of the Hero of Malone, and prayed an inquiry. Ihe Magistrate informed them that it was impossible that he could render them any assistance, and directed them either to apply to the Thames Police Office, or to Mr. Gould, the contractor to the East India Company ; but he was fearful that, as he had only heard one part of the story, there was something more in it. •TIIA 3IES OFFICE.

FATAL CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. (From the Manchrstrr Guardian of Saturday.] It appears, from the melancholy ere minces we are about to narrate, that the alarm which has prevailed in th is town and neigh bourhood for some time paif. and the precautionary measures adopted by our municipal officers, have not been altogether without foundation. On Tuesday week Wm. Hurst, aged 16 years, the son of Mr. Samuel Hurst, of the Blue public-house, in High -street, be came rather unwell, feeling, especially, a great depression of spirits, and a disinclination for company. These symptoms gra dually became more aggravated on the Wednesday and Thursday, though without any striking change. On the Thursday night he strongly objected to sleeping, as usual, with a younger brother, and was permitted to sleep alone. On the Friday morning he was about to equal his hands, when, as be stated, he felt so great a disgust at the appearance of the water, that he could not bring himself to immerse his hands in it. But this circumstance paned at the time without p articular notice, tot the slightlat sus picion being entertained of t..e nature of his eom plain t. Towards even mg he became much worse, and the family surgeon (Mr. Stein) was called in to see him- As the patient, though labouring under great oppression, did not at that tune exhibit any decided symptom of hy drophobia,and nothing being said on the subject of his having been in contact with a rabid anitnal,Mr. Stein entertained no suspicion of the real nature of his disorder. He told the patient he would send hint some medicine ; when the latter earnestly desired that it might not be in the shape of a liquid, but of pills : we believe this request was complied with, and the pills were taken. On the following ing the patient became much worse, being seized with violent spasms; and his appearance was so alarming that Mr. Stein was again sent foe; but as he happened to be gone out, ylr. Hurst called in Mr. Clarke, a surgeon resident in Shudehill. When he arrived he found the boy supported in bed, and unable to speak. Finding the pulse very . strong arid quick he opened a vein, and took away sixteen or eighteen ounces of blood; after which the patient was much easier. It is well known that bleeding usually induces thirst; but the boy did not, as is usual, ask for drink, until asked by Mr. Clarke if he did not feel thirsty, when he replied that he was very thirsty. A glass of water was then brought and given into his hands, and he slowly, and with apparent difficulty, lifted it towards his mouth ; but the liquid no sooner approached his lips, than he shrunk back with great horror, and said, " I can not drink; i cannot drink." Mr. Clarke urged him to make an. other attempt ; on which he took hold of the glass with both hands, and, after a violent struggle with his feelings, succeeded with great difficulty in carrying it to his lips, and taking a small quantity of water into hi• mouth, when he was seized with most violent spasms; and the water he had taken was forcibly ejected from the mouth by the spasmodic action of the muscles of the throat. Mr. Clarke then, for the first time, became attire of the dreadful nature of the disorder under which his unhappy patient was suffering; and he recollected to have heard something about a dog belonging to the house having gone mad, and been destroyed, which of course left no further doubt upon his mind. IPhen he communicated die sad tidings to the young man's parents, who up to that time had no auspteion of hydrophobia, their distress may be conceived, but can not he described. It being thought desirable to obtain the advice of a physician, Dr. Davenport 'flame was called in ; but of course, in that advanced stage of the disorder, nothing could be done to avert the impending fate of the unhappy sufferer. With the view, however, of alleviating the symptoms, an anodyne bolus was pre scribed, of which he swallowed a part, but the sudden and violent recurrence of the 1114.4 m prevented him from taking the remainder. Anodyne injections were afterwards administered ; but no pete, able benefit was derived 00.11 them, as the spasms continued with unabated violence. Towards evening the patient became at inter. rats so restless, that It was judged expedient to restrain him by means of a strait waistcoat. Prior to this he frequently held out his arm, and requested to be bled, having probably experienced re lief when that operation was performed ; but we believe it was not repeated. About nine o'clock the violence of the sym ptom began to abate, as nature became exhausted by excess of suffering, thew ing that dissolution was fast approaching. and about half-past ele ven he quietly and almost insensibly expired. When It was first discovered that hydrophobia was the disorder with which the unfortunate young man was attacked, an inquiry was very naturally set on foot as to the manner in which he I . ad contracted it. We have already stated that a dog belonging to Mr. Hurst had been destroyed, under an impression that at was mad. Still as it had not bitten the young man, it was not easy to conceive how the infection had been communicated. However, on making j minute inquiries front different menibers of the family, l/r. Hulme learnt that the day before the dog aas destroyed the deceased had cut • wart on one of his hands, and permitted the animal to lick away the blood. It had also licked his lips, which were sore at the time. These circumstances, and especially the licking of the wound caused by cutting the wart, were of course fully sufficient to account far the introduction of the virus into the system of the suf- terve. SVeundenttand, that tutor to the day on which he had acted • incautiously, the dog had exhibited symptoms which induced Mr. Hunt to desire his ion to keep it tied up; a caution which he unhappily neglected. On the day after it licked his hand, it be. gars to manifest unequivocal syniptoms of hydrophobia, and was destroyed by Mr. Hurst's orders—we wish we could say, without haring done any further mischief; but we are sorry to add, that it bit at least three other persons, all boys, who were playing in the streets in the neighbourhood. We hope, however, that such' steps hare been taken as will preserve them front the effects of the contagion. This fatal occurrence has very materially led to renewed notices on the part of the officers of the town, not to permit dogs to be at large, and to increased exertions for the destruction of those which have been found wandering a b out the streets. . . Police o*ces have been sent into al parts of both 31ancliestcr and Salford ; and a considerable nutivbat of dom. bare been put to death. including those killed a few weeks alio. nearly 'Asti have been destroyed iu 31anclirsier, cal about 2UO in Salford, t.nd there is now scarcely a tlog to be seen in the streets.

The Board of Admiralty haverecently issued instructions for a new mode of victualling his Majesty's fleet, which we cannot but think will contribute essentially to the comfort and convenience of our brave tars ; by the present regulations each man and boy on board a King's ship will be entitled to the following quantities of provisions daily ; viz.—One pound of bread, one gallon of bee►, or (when at sea) a pint of wine, or a quarter of a pint of rum instead' . of beer ; one ounce of comet one ounce and a half of sugar, one pound of fresh meat, half a pound of vegetables, snd half an mince of tea. The principal alteration in this mode of vititualling con sists in the diminution of half the quantity of spirits formerly al ' lowed, when spirits were served, and the substitution, in lieu there ' of, of tea and cocoa, and, in further compensation, two shillings r month is added to the 'bay of every warrant and petty dß err, seaman, and boy ; which two shillings will be paid to them every two or three months, when in port, whether at home or abroad. _ _ - . . . ...... . Ily Order in Council, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to I establish two new classes of Petty Officers on board his Majesty's ships, to be called " Masters' A aatstants," and " Volunteers of the Second Clam." These young Gentlemen it is intended should be persons of education and attainments in the various branches of navigation ; and they will be bruubht forward in the service in the line of Masters. The Masters' Assistants will take rank immetli. ately after Al idshipmen, and be entitled to a monthly pay of 3/. 11s. In whatever rate they may be serving. Persons who have served three years in the Navy, and possess the necessary acquirernents,are, to be deemed eligible for this Clain; and it is open for such Mid. effiptnen as may choose to accept the situation, the pay being I/. 3s. per month more than that of Midshipmen. The l'rilunteers of the Second Class, although thry are to rank next to the First Class of Volunteers, are to receive Ins. per month more, their pay being and that of the First Class 225. Boys, who have been brought up I st Christ's 'forint!, or the Upper School at Greenwich, are con.l eldered eligible for this Class, and Captains of ships may enter such! rmas at once; but this Oats, u well as that of Matters Assistants, lis open to any person qualified, on the approbation of the Admiralty ' being obtaineal. Arrangements bare been made for the garrisoning the island of Bermuda with Marines, NM of that corps will be scut out as early as possible, and the sat:lnland of theme troops (as well as 2011 Ma rines, now doing duty there, as a guard to the convicts), will be given to Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis, of the Plymouth division. The Loyal Briton transport, Lieutenant P. Ambrose, agent, is ordered to proceed from Portsmouth to Plymouth to receive on board part of this reinforcement, consisting of about lOU officers, non.conunis. slotted officers, and privates. Alr.

The lady is about 40 years of age, and possesses the moat at. tractive charms; she has also been the mother of' seven children. The unfortunate husband, up to her elopement, afforded her every comfort, consistent with his station, and a short time since, in consequence of unavoidable ember- rassments in this gentleman a affairs, she decamped, taking I with her her boxes, &c. declaring, that although hitherto she had lived most comfortably, she must now decline living its poverty, and should seek protection with sonic one els-. Ile saw no more of her until yesterday, when he ; traced her to the neighbourhood of town, where an inter-; view took place, and the fair fugitive appeared so decidedly attached to her new protector, that she refused the autho thority of a husband, unless he immediately procured her the same establishment as she had before enjoyed. The hus band was therefore compelled to return, under the most acute feelings, and nearly bordering on insanity, protesting, at the same time, that the subject should become a question for a Jury at a future day.

During the cross-examinations, the witnesses were asked whetbe Mrs. Baring had ever been married before she was married to X,. Baring? No positive answer was given to this; and an insieu, lion seemed to lurk under the question. The truth is, thee. 0 , she was marital at Philadelphia, when she Wll5 not more, should think, than fifteen or stateen years of age. The LlStOry the marriage is this : Mr. Bingham, the lady's father, wbo was one o f t h e rich .. men in the country, lived In Philadelphia, where he kcpt a bo ut ; more like an English Lord than like a Republica.) cituer ,. H. entertained ali the Noblemen and Gendemen, from };nail; e and from France, and, indeed, from Eat;' , who visited PL,I.„ delphia. The Dukes* de Noallles and Liancourt, the pr fte . Duke d'Orleans and his brother; and, in short, all the Ni6lis and Gentlemen who visited that city. 3!rs. Bingham was a V!ry beautiful and accomplished woman : so that the house of SI T , Bingham, who was a Senator of the United States, was really b y far the drat house in the country. Amongst the foreigners who, at the time here alluded to, visited at 31r. Bingham's, was a I ount de Tilly, a French emigrant No. Diemen. Ile was about 22 years of age. I should think, and the younger 31iss Hingham (now Mrs. Henry Ham l et was, I should suppose, about Iti. The Count was not what a man would think ray handsome ; but women do not see men with men's eyes; tad. besides, he talked well, was very gay, had a good deal of wit, a ei (I'll be bound for him) very ardent (a prime quality), and the bare sight of him would make you swear that he never thought of a loss in his life, except, indeed, as borrower. Nothing but what was very natural took place between these parties. The Count was par; consent of turtles was out of the ques:ion. The lady escaped treun her father a house. They were privately, but lawfully, married in the evening; and that they ;IA not sit up to wait for their pursuers you will readily suppose— Those Flamers got at them, however, before morning ; . and a party in great fierce, under the orders and in the peevenea of at uncle of the lady, took her and carried her by actual compulsion lo her father's house. I, at that time, published a daily paper in Philadelphia. The Count came to me to make his complaint, bringing me a wrings statement of all the facts for me to publish ; and I did publish i t ' Before the publication was out, however, the above mentioned uncle, whose name was Richard came to me to begrime not to publish the Count's statement. I knew 3lr. Willing a v izi deal better than I knew the Count ; but the former did not deg, any part of the Count's statement, and therefore I published it. here now took place one of those things that have made me die. like Republican Government. The Count endeavoured in vain is get at his wife. Some creditor of the Count soon put him into pd. son. Ile got his release upon condition, as I was told, of quitting the country ; and (hear it.
