FRENCH MANUFACTURES. A OA deal has recently beery some of the London new"- , p;„pees, especially the Timer, on the tisilry experienced hy our cot -4011 manufacturers from tliese of firreign countries, and the thence inevitable declension of the ntanufactnring prosperity of Great Pettain ; and we see that tee same itloa has prevailed at a recent meeting c?' the inhabitanta of Lanarkshire, held to consider the rostreesea of the manufacturing population of that county. We 'have always felt very great distrust of the statements and reason- Yrats adduced to be a r out this view of the question ; and we have lately had an opportunity of conversing with a gentleman just re. tarried from a visit to France, where he took great pains to make :,.mself acquainted with the state of the cotton manufacture. Ilia statements tend strongly to confirm the scepticism we have entertained as to the danger of rivalry from that quaver ; and 4' the subject is, at the present moment, one of considerable bite. rest, we shell present our renders with a view et the facts which he collected dining a six weeks' residence in France. In the first place. li found the French manufacturers universally -eoloplaining of the depression of trade. Their warehouses were overstecked with goods, which they could not sell, even at the reduced prices which prevailed ; so that it did not appear that they were becinning to supply any of the markets to which the produce of Etiglaili industry lias been heretofore sent. Indeed, from the price- of the principal articles of French cotton manufacture, it did rot at.pcae likely that they would speedily become very formidable rivals. Our informant took with hint from this country a number of sampl , :a of cotton cloth ; and, from a comparison of those with what lie saw, as well as front the statements of the French menu facturirs (who, by the way, were all inclined to represent prices as !steer tlg.n they really were), he was satisfied that, on the average, and even in snch articles as common printing-cloths and ehittinga, the French manufactures were full 50 per cent. dearer than the English. In prints. too, though no duty is paid by the French manufacturer, the prices appeared to be 10 or la per cent, higher than English prints of email styles and quality. with the addition or tbe duty with which the English manufacturer is chargeable. ' Nor are these differences very extraordinary, when the disadvan tages of' the French manufacturer are duly considered. In many of - 'She processes of the cotton manufacture. especially in spinning, so - groat a portion of the expense arises out of the original cost, and the.wear and tear of machinery, that the price of that important ar .. Lido if ofgreat censequence in estimating the cost of production. Chu informant ascertainod that the expense of erecting a factory of a large site, and lilting it with machinery (mules) in the best and most-judicious manner, was equal to four pounds sterling per spin dle, whilet a similar factory tn this country, with better machinery, would not cost more titan two pounds per spindle. The price of 7.8 power-I. ems ( wretchedly constructed) was twenty guineas each, ilt Nat the price of good limns in this country does not exceed 111. , the article of fuel, too, the French manulucturer labours under -... cry great disadvantages. In Normandy, one of the great seats of Vie french manufacture, men the neighbourhood of Paris, the oapense of working a steagine appeared to be two- an d 'Orem as great to in the neighbourhood of Manchester. Coder these circumstances (and we believe they will be found to alp', pretty generally to ('on'inental manufactures). there is nut much ground of apprehension that we shall be undersold in fo • reign Markets. Indeed, so flu from that being the case with re spect to France, large quantities of English goods and yarn, espe cially of fine qualities, in whirl) our manufacturers possess greater advantages than in the articles we have mentioned, are yearly smuggled into that country. Somet' iag has Peon said in the newspapers, and we believe truly, respecting a quantity of prints recently imported into this country. It aught to be known, however. that those are chiefly, if cot en tirely. et one style (discharged Turkey reds), for the executing of which &patent was taken out in this country, and an etzlusive pri vilege was, until very lately, enjoyed by the inventor, and one or 'two houses that had licences from him ; but there was no such mo rOpetly in Switzerland, and it therefore is not surprising that the 'Snits printers have produced patterns which find a sale in this , :l to a u 7...— Manchester Meurer:4.

POLICE. illawslow.nousz.—Veatertlay Mr. Finch, the solicitor, Of Coleinam.street, applkd to the Lord Mayor for summonses against certain laervione, who had obtained money on pretence of having certain advantage■, of which those who paid the money should par. ticipate. The cane would he either one of fraud. or of conspiracy to defraud, or of obtaining money under false pretences, within the statute. The Loma MAYOR interrupted Mr. Finch as he was proceed ing with his statement, and asked him whether there wits really any thing in this case which went beyond the others that had been before biro. Mr. Finch declared that the case, and the evidence by which it was sustained was stronger than any which had yet been brought before him. The LORD MAYOR—I ask you whether, as a lawyer, you con sider you have stronger legal grounds fur your application ? 1 ask this before the case is stated, because the applications have been 00 numerous relative to these joint-stock Companies, withon: their coming to any thing; and I should not he inclined to listen to another application, unless the parties can say positively that they are certain their claims are far stronger. Sir. Finch assured his Lordnitip that he had no doubt whatever tin the point. Here they had a positive declaration that a grant of mines was obtained, when there was evidence that no such grant was in existence. It was held forth that the mines were at work. when nothing was known about them ; and they had, moreover, the ad mission of the parties, pretending that the money obtained was for bessafisie purposes ; that it never was really intended to work them. and that they only wanted to catch bears. (Laughter.) The Lon° MAYOR, under these circumstances, permitted the Sol eater to proceed with his statement. Mr. Finch then read the following names, as set forth, of the Directors of the Company--part of them were fictitious names:— The Ho,. Washing:on Shirley, 26. Montsgue-square, Port. man-equare ; Captain Page, East India %Verehouse; William Hall, Esq . Crosby-square; and Thor tan Emmet , Esq. Holborn. Then there' were—Thomas Moore, Esq.; P. P. lioldschmidt, Esq.; Arnold Berger, Esq. ; and Gottlieb Berger, Esq., whose names he (Mr. Finch) believed to be fictitinus. The Surveyor and Engineer was W. J. Hantock, Esq.; the Assay Master. P. N. Johnson, Esq. 51.0.5. ; Solicitors Messrs. Tomlinson, Bennell, and Cooper; Bankers, Sir J. Peering, Barber, Shaw ' and Co.; and Secretary. Mt. M. G. Mitchell. It wax proposed that a capital of 51)0.1)1101. be raised, in 5,000 Share% of HIM each ; 11. to be paid on the allotment, and 21 . more oit the Report of a .fommittee at a General Sleeting of the Proprietors. The prospectus went on to state, that " The possessions of his Serene Highness the Prince of Waldeck have been long considered the most valuable in Germany, in gold, silver. copper, lead, and iron mines (the latter being in quality au perior the Swedish); hut, owing to s want of sufficient capital and machinery, they have been lying dormant, anti now otFer to British capitalists a most advantageous opportunity for public investment. " A grant duly ratified being obtained From his Royal Highness, it is intended to form the above Association, for the purpose of working them with English machinery. " The peculiar advantages attending these mines are—lst. Their proximity to the manufacturing towns of Iserloon, famoua for brass foundries; Solingen, famous for iron and steel; Stolberg, fa mous for brass ; Elberfield, the seat of the Rhenish %Vest India Companies, and many others of smaller note; and owing to the immense quantity of metal consumed by these towns, it is anticipated that nearly the whole predate will be purchased by them—at present they are compelled to obtain it at a %cry disad vantageous rate from Russia, Sweden, and Norway, and they ate looking forward with great anxiety to the success of the present un dertaking. "2. The river Weser running close to the mines, the surplus produce can, at a cheap rate, be exported to Bremen, Hamburgh, and England. " J. The mountains are covered with wood, the necessaries of life cheap, consequently the price of labour is very low. " 4. The shafts being only from 40 to 50 fathoms deep. little ex pense will be incurred in working the mines. " 5. The mines being at present in work. it is expected they will in a abort time produce a dividend, and that no more than one tenth of the capital subscribed will be required for at least twelve months, and then only on complete success, and for the enlargetnent of the undertaking. _ _ . " 6. The grant being under a liberal Prince, anxious for the em. ployment and welfare of his subjects, great advantage will be de need from his sanction and patronage. "M. G. MITCHELL, Sec." Mr. Finch said, he had to adduce evidence of the strongest cha racter, namely, that of a witness who was present at the uneetinge of the Proprietors, and who was cognizant of all their proceedings. This witness stated that he was now clerk to Messrs. Dickerions, of Old Bros,!-street, solicitors. He had formerly been in the ser vice of the solicitors whose names had been procured for the Pro spectus (on an assurance of its respectability). and had, in their behalf, attended the several meetings of the Directors. Believing the statements yet forth in the prospectus, he bought 60 shares. The LORD MAVOR asked the witness whether he had money of his own to make an investment to the extent of 60 shares. The witness did not answer this question. Indeed his situation arid appearance answered it for him. The LORD Mai on asked him whether the grant from the libe ral Prince was produced to the Share:oilier', or whether any secu rity was shown to them ? The witness replied, dial there were some papers produced at one of the meetings by a Herman named Ashalt. They were in Ger. m in, but no one could read them, and every one presumed that they were documents. ( Laughter. ) The LORD Mavon—Well, the credulity of some people is mos ..xtraordina.y. Here I fl. d in the very prospectus contradictory statements of the demand for the metals by the adjacent towns, of the mines being productive near the surface, and yet money being wanted to carry them on. What, host over, can be more inviting than the following description of the principality of Waldeck ? • Waldeck. a country of Gernmmy, bounded on the Korth by the Bishopric of Patertnan, on the east by Hesse, and prefeetured by Fenster, in the Eectorate 01 Mena; on the south by Heise, and on the west by the Dully of Westphalia. The length ix ewinputed at 44 miles, and its breadth 20. The country abounds in grain and cattle. having also large woods, and the mountains in it contain lead, iron, and copper, and even some grill, which is esteemed equal in value to that of Hungary. Of the gold which is scattered out of the Eder the Princes have tensed medals to be struck, and a magnificent sirtehoard to be made. Some parts also afford marble, alabi.ster, slate, and turf. This county contains thirteen towns, and a market village. The greater part of the inhaltitants are Lu therans, and the rest Calvinists, with some Roman Catholics inter mixed. The manufacthres are, coarse cloth, barragon, calimanco, dimity, sateen, and other stuffs; as also paper, and great quanti ties of iron ware. for exportation." His Lordship asked what were the number of Skares which were taken in this concern. Mr. Jellico said, that 2000 shares were issued ; 13,000 were itp. plied for, and 13110 were paid upon. The Ditectonn got It. upon each share. The person who we, most concerned in the thing was a Mr. Mitchell, the Secretary, of No. 6, Queen's.row. Walworth. in all the meetings which the witness attended, the chief and only subject of discussion was that of the means of keeping up their shares in the market. It was at first proposed to issue 5000 shares, and to ask 3/. on each ; when Mitchell said they would never get them up to a premium if they sent out so many as these, and re quired such a deposit. He proposed the reduced number of 2000, with the deposit of 11. per share. This proposition was adopted. About March cr April last witness applied to Captain Pate on the subject, when the latter avowed to him that they had never any in tention of working the mines, and that they merely brought it for ward to catch the Bears with. Only 501. had been paid to tine printer and tinern-keeper, and no satisfactory account could be got of the remainder of the money; and the seances represented that there was no manifestation of an intention to return the remainder of the money. ft was believed that a great part of it had been spent in endeavours to get up the prices of the shares in the marker. The lion. Mr. Shirley was Equerry, or something of that kind, to the Duke of Sussex. The witness declared that he knew nothing of the real state of thinzs until some time after he had purchased the shares. s Issue Newton, of No. 20, Dorset-crescent, New North-road stated that be oceasimally had a little business in the Fonds. The Loan M arna—That is to say, you are• stock-16E4er. —I do not tall myself a stock-jobber; I only transact business now and then in the Stocks. The Loan Al won—Then I should call you a stock jobber. The witness depoistd. that upon the statement made with rela tion to the Company by the Directors, he paid 1101. upon 110 sharet: part of them he purchased for investment, and part for jobbing. On some he admitted to the Lord Mayor he had got half-a-crown premium, on officio ten shillings; but he had a num bar left on lils hands. Some other testimony was given, which was not very mateaial either way. The Solicitor, in answer to some questions from the Lord Mayor, admitted that Mr. flails and some others of the Company were willing to settle the matter; and that it was expected that the others would be willing to come forward when they perceived the law afford.d a remedy against them. The LORD MAYOR was of opinion upon the case, as stated and proved before him, that an indictment would lie against the parties. The legitimate object of bringing them before him could only be, to hold them to bail to appear and answer the charge. They were parties who were well known, and he thought that no apprehension could be fairly entertained that they would run away. If it were intended to make use of any proceeding before him, to force an ac commodation, he could not lend himself to it. Mr. Finch said that his bordship's aid was sought, as the cheapest and most summary for the parties. The LORD MAYOR said, it could not be more cheap or summary than that of the indictment, which must be the neat step after bringing the parties before him i and he therein' e dismissed the complaint, recommending the prosecutors to ploceed at ones to the indictment. The LORD MAYOR mentioned, that in consermence of the notice by the press of the case of Captain Aiuitei. the unfor. tunate follower of Mina, he had re( sired two sums of 51. and 31. for his relief, from individuals who had not mentioned their names. BOW-STATICT.—In consequence of a statement made on Tues. r day before the Magiatrates, by Charles Grindell, " that Dr. Bur. tortes had been called in to Mr. OrindeH, sen. and had declared that he was incapable of takiag care of himself, and dial be required to be placed under the constant watch of some pan"; and, farther, that he (ib, prisoner) Intended to take out a communion of lunacy, and was fully prepared with evidence to carry it to ha fullest ex tent," Dr. &moires came to the aka yesterday tzteratom and SHE , BRITISH PRESS. begged permissiorrfrona Mr. Minshull to give a flat and miquali tied contradiction to that declaration. 21r. Al moo IT lot said he ahotilil be happy to listen to ony expia tion which Dr. Burrowes might have to offer. and the Reporters of the public picas, Amu lie SAW present, would, he had no doubt, give the fullest effect to it. Dr. Burrowes then stated, that early in September he was applied to by Charles Orindell, who represented his uncle to be ins state of extrente imbecility, and, in his (C. Orindell's) opinion, of actual iosanity ; and the latter said he wished to obtain the applicant's eri cases. inion.in le; that Its mighttake the usual tepid pwceetlings in ' such Charles Orindeies desire, he visited Mr Grindell. sen. on the Min of September; and alter a long iwerview, he left Lim with a firm titapressfoi on his mind that tiara was not the least symptom of hasaitity discoverable in the old gentleman. Ile in formed Cheeks lirindci that although his uncle's faculties might be somewhat impaired i t age in the natural course of things, yet that there was not rite l e reason to doubt his sanity. He at the same time observrtethat ft was sometimes diltkult to form a correct opinion at one interview; and as . De. Mite:belt, who was the family physician, had langlacen is the habit of visiting Mr. Orindell, sen. Dr. Butrowes would be glad to hold a consultation with that gentleman. A commtatism accordingly took place on Wednes day she 27th (she very tlay In which the outrage upon Mrs. Goodell was committed), ond the result was, that the opinion pre , 'moldy fainted by the applicant wail fully confirmed. Charles Urindell did not apply toßhe applicant to know the result of the consultation; and lie Apr) Demme%) had no idea that the old gentleman had been Ina tilde: theslightzat restraint. until infomsed by Dr. 3litchekl a day tit ado afterwards that he had born placed by Charles (Modal miler Ste care of a keeper. Dr. Burrowes, in ' conclusion re p ea t e d hi,dep t ienon that there was not the least reason to doubt die sanity of Mr. fitioden, sen. ; andriaid he should feel obliged if the Gentlemen of die • Press would notice the statement which he had made. Soon after Dr. Marrowes had left the office, Banter was brought to give bail, and was steresocanied by C.Oriedell, who came at his own request to solicit the Yitgiatrate to allow brill• *Twain one night more at she wanch-h instead airing to ths pel. sons, as he expected to he al to proctirs to-mor lr isday), and he had greater facility wsunieadess erith*proilienda at the watch-bonne than he if subjected ti thieules of a re guise prinun. 21r.

HATTOR-OAnDuar•—Yesterday, Mr. IVin. liar:hon. landlord of the St. Luke's head, 44'hitectosa-st.eet. appeared before Ser geant Sellon, sr.t! 31r. I.4tng, on an information laid against the house, of wideli he is now the proprietor, by the well-known John son, who has formed a cnattion with Bross, formerly of the firm of " Brooks and llaruilrA"le latter baring retired from bu. _ . Mr. Marshall said he appeared to the Magistrate's summons, not but he might have availed himself of a very strong objection, which would have warranted his non-attenOance. the summons having been directed in the mune or T. Burrows, who was the for mer proprietor of the honer. Johnson here observed that the name inserted in the summons was the same ns the one painted over the door. Mr. Marshall said be could explain that to the Magistrates' sa tisfaction. . _ . . . Mr. LAlNG—First let us hear the nature of the complaint. Brook., the intOrmer's witness, stated that the deftmdant was cherged with keeping his house open at ten niinutes past 12 o'clock on the night of Friday the 24ith of September. Sergeant Sr:sum—CA the defending—Then you contend that you have not been saw/monad In your own name ?—Yea, your Worship, I do. The name which appears in the suminons la that of the parson whom !succeeded. Mr LAlxe—Then, do not you know that you have yourself open to a much heat ier penalty, by not having your name over the door ?—Yes, Sir; I am perfectly aware of that; but the circuits.. stance of my having only come imn possesaion that very night will. I should hope, sativactorily ac.mtint for my not having complied whit the provisions of the Act at Parliament. The haulm had ban transferred to me that day by Mr. Burrows, the firmer latdlord. and lie is here to prove that 1 alid not conic into possession until • late hour that night. In regard to the house not haring been shut up within the stipulated time, I cannot take upon the to contradict the charge, though Icon positively affirm that it was not kept open for the purpose of public business. Coining dins suddenly into possession. we were all in confusion preparing for the next day, and I think I may venture to say that there was not a person in the house except those who belonged to my own family. Mr. Burrows, the firmer landlord, confirmed the ii/fenclant's statement as to the transfer, and as to the late hour at sh:olt Mr. Marshall hail been put into passeasion. Mr. LAING—Does the defendant's name appear over the door now ? Johnson—No, y our Worship; it wns not there this morning. Mr. LAING—How doyou account for that i• Mr. Alarshall said that the other name had been defaces!, and the painters were only waiting for the ground-work to dry, in order to put his name. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said, that under these circumstances the information could not stand. Johnson. who appeared to be fully prepared for such a result, observed, that the former landlord was in Court, and submitted that it ought to be shown at what titue lac transfer had taken place. .Mr. LAING—That can be ascertained by the production of the license. _ . _ The defendant said he had not 'iron:lilt it with him, but he could send for it ittimcdia7ely. Mr. Sergeant SLE.tott said that he should'have letve to do so, and the COG was ordered to stand over for one hour. At the expiration of the time appointed, the parties again ap peared, and the informerand his partizans seemed confident of suc ceeding. Mr. 3larahall handed L his beer, wine, and apiit licences, all of which were transferred to hini ffom Mr. BUTIOWP, in iheregu. Jan way, at the Exci•e-office, And the date of the transfer being the 29th of September, 1821.• The information allowing the offence to hare been committed subsequently thereto, it was afgued that Burrows Irwin., longer landlord of the house in questioli, and con , tquently that the sum mons was inhume,. . - Mr. LaiwG asked the defendant to produce the Magistrates' licence. Mr. Marshall said that he had no crlier than those he had pro. duced already. Mr. LAlato—Then, by what authority do you keep your hous open ? lily. Marshall—The eertiSeate' that we receive from your Wor. ships is always depositethat the Excise-office, in licit in which we get these documents. Mr. LAINO-.-YOU do not mean to say that the Excise-office re tains our eenifieate, do you ? Mr. Marshall—Yee, sir, invariably. Mr. BUrrOwll, who had been in the pnbU husinesstbr many years, begged lease to explain how that was. The publican. on obtaining the Magistrate. sanction to open it lows, pr.liet,t4 their certificate at the Exciu-office; and on this ity lie is granted what is called the beer licence, wbLh enables hic.t to take out a licence for wine and spirits. Mr. Sergeant SELI.OI4-1 understand you perfectly well. The Excise office. on your producing the authority of the Magistrate., granted at each lice , sing day, gives you, in return, what you call the beer licence, and they lila our certificate of your fitness. Mr. Burrows—Exarly so, Sir; and this has always been the practice. Johnson, thus beaten from one position, attempted to take up another; and very ingeniously argued that the transt'er could not be considered valid until it had received the Magistrates' sanction. The licence had heed granted to Burrows, and was it certnia that it would be continued to whoever he thought proper to assign it Mr. Burrows said that the practice, had gone on for a length of time, and he never knew it disputed br•fore. Mr. Mar,liall could I have no opportunity of getting the Magistrates to rally the transfer until the next liceuslaN day, which would be the 9th or lOth of October. Johnsonn—Suppose he rennet prmittec a certificate of character, to satisfy the Magistrates as to his fitness to keep this house, wh o then would be the landlord? Mr. Sergeant SEL LON—I/nu certainly seem determined to push this case home, if you can, Johnson ; but you must reroltect that this is a criminal proem., and the transfer is merely a civil contract ; they cannot therefore be allowed to dealt one with the oth , r. Neither can I swum. that t he Magistrates will withhold their sanction, because T know of nothing in the defendant's character to discntitle hint. You would not have me prejudge him, or duppose that he is other Than what be appears to be, an honect and respect able man. . . Johnson said he was onlY assuming what uftlit be thil s Ole• Mr- Sergeant SELLOW—But assumptions won't do; and, under all the circumstance s o f t his very novel case. I think that it ought not to have beenpressed. The Information was dismissed sccdedingly. MARLBOROUGH•STRF.F.T.—Yeite:day Charles Thonia White, the bookseller, at No, 265, hi g h Holborn, was placed at the bar before Alt. I.lxy:a and Mr. lion, on a charge of setting fire to his own house, between Tuesday night and yesterday morning. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Mr. White's lieuse has been attempted to be hurried four several tines within the last two months, all in a mysterious way, without any clue being lied to the incendiary, and that posting bills hate been cal epieuouely placarded, offering a reward of 5111. for his apprehension. ouch was the intensity of interest., that at least twenty persons ;ere in the office who professed themselves to be witnesses. St. Giles's parish have paid 71. lUs. for the atterdance of engines on the twiner ceasions, and will have loony for the attendance of those yesterday, nod to appeami the alarm of *neighbourhood, have very propetly umlertaken the prosecution. Mr. ft/8.14ER, the Vestry Clerk. attended fur the parish; and Mr. A notinuers and Mr. Iss.cur for the prisoner. The depositions, upon oath, were es follow : Michael Shine, watchman of St. Giles's, stated, that about twenty-five minutia after five o'clock that morning he was on his bear at the end of Titehborne-cinnt, in Holborn, when a gentleman of the name of Pope called " %Vetch." Witness went to him, and understood that the prisoner's house was on tire. Willmar sprung his rattle, and went to the house. No. 26 ; he knocked at the door, and rang, but no one answered him ; he understood that the in. 'mates had made their escape over the top of the house. Ile saw no tire from the fermi of the house, hut put his shoulder to the door, and forced It open; he went through the passage, and down 1 the kitchen stairs, and turned to a closet, or cellar, under neatly the boarding of which, and between the lath and plaster ' was all in a flame. In going to the cellar he walked over the flame. There was no person in the house himself, another watchman, and Mr. Pope, got water from the cis. tern in the beck yard, and put the fire out. After putting out the fire, aitness thought all was right, and came up stairs into the back parlour ; iha drew was closed, but the room was full of smoke. lie found (teals ire between the parlour and the shop, behind an iron show, Amu six yards distant from the plviedi the other fire ; the flooring trol burning. At this time Mr. POthesnanillud arrived with the engine, and he put it out. it is impossible the fire in the par. lour could have any contimmication with, the (me in the cellar. By Mr. Asottitus--Ifid not we Mr. White iii the house; had no green difficulty in bunting the door open ; it was on the single lock ; he retreated a few steps, and then tan at it with his i shoulder. Catherine Taylor it servant to Mr. White, last night site went to bed about eleven o'clock; left her master shutting toe back part of the house, and both went to bed at the same time. He sleet in an adjoining room. Her mistress and witness slept together. • Her mistress miscarried last night. About one o'clock this morning witnesa awiiku her, and said, '• The house is on lire." Her mis. tress and herself:gni nut of bed. ' Her mistress wtnt into her mas ter's room to awake Alm. She did not hear what her mistress said. She went herself into the drawing-room. which has a communica tion with the bedroom, and opened the door leading on to the stain. She then returned to the bedroom to her mistress, who wished her tower to give an alarm. Ile went on the lar.ding•place, and said, if we did not escape at the top of the house we should not be able to escape at all, as the staircase was on fire. Where her master stood watt on the landing of the second floor. She said to her master they had better call front the window, or go down stairs, but coot trot recollect what answer he made. They went to the top of the house, and all three got out there ; Mr. White went first ; *hires followed hint. When her mistress went to call 111 r. White he was fast asleep; she called him two or three times ; he only sopped to put on his trowstes and morning gown. The tease was on lire a fort night ago in the same parlour. but in another corner. About eight weeks ago (sth of August) the house was on lire under the kitchen stairs, the 114411 e place as that morning. The night aver the second fire the meat-sate appeared to have been blunt by holding a candle to it; both dome and the wood.work at the buck had been burnt, apparently by holding a candle to the d.fferetit places; site did not fled it out herself, it was pointed out to her by a friend of her toaster. Found a quart bottle of turpen tine on a shelf ut the top of a closet in the parlour the day before the second lire happentd ; this was on the ri•tutuuy. After the tire on the Monday she found the hearth-tug soaked with morn. tine ; the fire took place immediately contiguous to the hearth. rug, and the wainscot was partly burnt. On the Tuesday she re. collected having seen the bottle or turpentine in the closet, and mentioned it to her miatren.. . ..... ....... ..... By Mr. ADOLPHUS—That had beer, a pint of turpentine put. clia , ed to clean the furnimre; there had only been one pint since she had been with Mr. White. • By Al r. u pinta-11a mistress said she would tell her nuater about the bottle of turpentine. She wished to show her mistress the boitle, to d on taing it t - mt of the cluatt found it empty. By Mr. Animmice—iler master IL - melted at Mr. Pope's trap door and coiled for assistance; witness culled down .Jr. Pope's luau e. _ . . . . By Mr. TURNER—Did not knock at Mr. Treacher's doo-, but pulled that to.knock at that of Mr. Pope. The second fire hap pened in the alarece of her master ; her mistress had been absent for a week; he dept there every evening, but nut on the night of the second fire; the ehop-boy and herself were the only persons in the ho .se; the lodgers had then left. Believes the inspection of the meat-safe was to convince tier that somebody , had set hie to the place. Ber mistress niteatrrieu this morning. efier her escape to Mr. Pope's. On the evening before the second lire, she fastened the staircase window and shutters; in the morning the window was up, but the Amino were closed; Is sure the window and shutters were closed over-nieha By Mr. DOLPHUS—There had been .bar to the staircase win dow, which brokeuff when her master weat to oil it ; did not know what was dune with it; believes her master threw it away. Samuel Furraman isanund-house.keeper of St. G&W's. On the brit of August, a little after two o'clock in the morning, he was called to a fire at the prisoner's house; he went with Riley, the batelle, down stairs, and found the cellar on tire under the stairs. He remarked to the prisoner, " There is something ruin about this fire;" he replied, .• lie could not teal in the name of God how the fire mune there, and that some time before a table had been burnt." Witnessand the primmer went into the front kitchen, and I looked at the table. It appeared to have been burnt as though a liquid bad been poured on it, and set fire to. Witness went into the back kitchen with Riley, and saw him pick up two pieces of link. Witness remarked that the link had occasioned the fire, on account of acme of the pitch being on the wood; there wu a ledge on which the link rested, where ii had fallen, and the marks cur. reepoilded. Before leaving the place, witness asked the prisoner if lie had bought any lints, and he replied that lie had nut ; asked him if he suspected any one, 83 it was a strange thing ; he bald he suspected the servant of his lodger. Alr. Lazarus, who charged his eervant on suspicion. the second tire happened in September; himself and brether went into Mr. White's parlour, and found one corner of the floor much burnt; it had been just extinguished ; he took the pole-axe, and ripped up the flooring: at the side of the room three bricks had been taken "out of the party-wall; the lire on that OCCASiO4I had burnt up to the mantel-piece, and blistered the paint on the opposite side. Between one and two o'clock this morning he was called to Ala White's again ; he went down stairs, and saw fire on the ceiling of the cellar; he ran up for the pole axe, and ripped me a part of the flooring in the shop adjoining the parlour. Having thrown some water on the fire, he told his hem ther to feel bellied the waiment, %here he found some shavings. Behind the iron chest, In a little, we found a broken quart bottle, which strongly smelt of turpentine, wrapped in paper, which lie l ' produced. Catherine Taylor, recalled by 3lr. ADOLPHUS—That is the same bottle she found in the cupboard ; she placed it on the iron chest; it 'livery likely to have fallen down behind. Furzeman's examination continued.—He examined the cellar under the stair, and found that the boarding repaired after the for mer fire had been burnt afresh. There was a place about nine inches large, which appeared saturated with twine spirit, as, on ap plying a candle, it immediately caught fire. T here was ho com munication with the tire of last tight under the stairs, and the one in the patlour at the same time. They were two distinct fires. The joints and flooring of the parlour were burnt through. There was nothing of a combustible nature in the room underneath the parlour to give communication to the fire between the flooring. He left about four o'clock. This morning, about 10, he went again into the kitchen, and found the cellar door fastened. He asked the servant for the key. She opened the door, when himself and 3lr. Pope went in with a light. On looking up to the ceiling, he found three holes in the plaster; he pulled part of the ceiling down, and Multdnome shavings between die anti% and the flooring. Mr. Nl'illiam Bradford is an oil and colour man, at 36, Broad. street, St. till s's. On the 4th of August, a person, as near as possible in appearance to the' prisoner, bought two links at his ehop ; he tendered a sixpence, and received twopence in change. The person had. a morning gown on. Has seen the prisoner's teat ; it seems to be the same, cut shorter in the skirts. The prisoner ' s emit was pr oduced. - Mr. ADOLPHUS said it was fortunate for him he was not near the spot, as lie had just such another coat, and might have been charged. Furzeinan said he would produce the woman who cut the pri soner's coat shorter. Riley produced two pieces of link, which Mr. Bradford exs. mined. Ile thinks them to be the sante lie sold, they having the peculiarity, as have the rest of the lot whence these were taken, of havieg had the ends re-dipped after the first dipping bad cooled. Mr. ADOLPH us ridiculed the idea of the links being the same, and begged the 3lagistrates to adjourn the examination to that day week, as he wanted to go out of town, and it was then put three o'clock. Mr. DYER acceded to the request. The prisoner will be locked up, as the charge, being capital, does not admit of bail at present. Mr. Bee e et, the solicitor, said they might luck up his client, but that would net stop future firings, as there would be many still, till they could apprehend a person who has threatened Mr. White.

VNIO,/ TALL—Yesterday a reepectable•lleking indirklas: named Clarks Pierry. was summoned befun the sittina M a e,: trate, J. S. CalaurEt.r., Esq. to anima , a complaint of bailee maliciously poisoned a great number of fowls, the praaerty titnext M doo gton.r, neighbour, Ale. Catlan, residing in Apollosimildiap, New The c,molainant stated, that he wu in flit habit of keepia i great nutnber of fowls on his premises. Late tly, hottest,' he 6al misted many of them, end ascertained beyond doubt this dnywere killed by his next dope neighbour, the defendant, alto natally clio,•ped elf either their heads or telw , if they chanced to stray over into his premixes. The wall or fence that separated the two yards fr..m each mho. was so very low that the h e n s and chickens oetaaionally surmount the barrier; and so sure as they did,' tree lives expiated fir the trespass. • Finding his stock ts< fow:s diminishing fast, Mr. Carmen did all in his power to keep them on his oleo premises, and succeeded so wth, tbat they were no longer a source of annoyance to the defendee t , Netwithatanding the precaution, however, be ninervtd that kis i n cli er rterh i n e g adw l hj d oi s cht n y i u naheng d, rt he ic. fowls were dwindling away every day ; and, surprised at the churns stance, he soon ascertained the cause of the Wahl amongst thi r o f , :b a a s s t e h r t " h v e i e c t d i k tltylutai strewed, e a f i o n t a it h f i e t . y w d obil:b7rieati morn i ngs : s a u n a g n d e u o r t n t f e r e:, mien into his yard. The fowls that partook of it died soon often wards. On the discovery of this atrocious method of killing them, he waited an opportunity until he Mond to his satirfaction that;the poisonous ingredient was flung o ver f rom hi s neighbour's yard, for the purpose of destroyint the wh o l e of hi s f ow l s . 31 r. Carmen then produced a portion of the bread and butler fur the Magistrate's in. spection, which contained a quantity of arsenic. The defendant complained of the continual annoyance of Mr. Carmen's fowl, whi It he said were eternally trespassing on hi s p re . raises, and making the place in a filer. He, however, denied har. ing any knowledge of the emetic, declaring that he had not sda.i nistered it to the fowls. The court l Ana t assured the Magistrate of Om truth and Kn. racy of his , t INFent, r. CALDWELL observed, that he had no power of runishing the defendant, although it was a scry scandalous method he had sc. sorted to in radir to destroy the 'fowls. " It'," said the tansy Magistrate to the defendant, "any of Mr. Carmen's children w servants lied eaten the bread and butter strewed over so thickly with arsenic, and fatal consequences had ensued, I can assure you you would hays placed yourself in a most serious situation. Asa is, the complainant, in my opinion, would hare his remedy by' ac tion, .nd if hepleases he can consult with his lawyer." In the course of the day a Yoskshiriman, named Tetley, come blubbering into the office with two large parcel, tied up in brossz paper under his arm. flaying dried up his tears with the tail ct long linsey-woolsey coat th:tt he wore, he threw down his paces the table before the Magistrates, exclaiming, "'There. your nours—l be done cut of four guireas for that there trash." One of the officers opened the packages. and found them to contains plots of gl zed cotton made up in imitation of a piece of the real Celft rain linen. and two pieces of gaudy-coloured stuff', glazed over so in to imitate silk. II hen the Magistrate had glanced at the goods—" Well, my man," slid he, " I hope you have not allowed yo,rsell to be Im posed on in the purchase or these paltry articles?"—lndeed but I br, re;spendid the countrymen. " What," said the Magistrate, and you all the way from Yoikshire ?—why, I thought the natises of your county wire pro verbial for their sagacity in the detection of imposithin. The Yorkshireman, who listened very attentively to the Magic. trate, but did not seem well to comprehend what he said, broke into his former exclamation i.f. " Your Honour, I be done out of oar guineas for that trash." taking up the bargain, and knectio: it with much force against the table. The Magistrate—Come, my good fellow, don't irritate yourself tell me all about it. From the poor fellow's account, it appeared that he had just a:. rived in town from Thirsk, his native village, in Yorkshire, r. t the purpose of lookirg after a s4useion. That, on the preceding night, as he was walking over Blacktriars-bridge, a nom, dressed in sailor's clothes. and having a wooden leg, invited him into a house, saying that he had just come from France with a ship.lpad of smuggled silks, and other goods, that were now selling off dirt cheap. The credulous Yorkshireman permitted him Pelt to be con ducted back to a street opposite elitist a hunch, Blacklriars, where he was taken into a house, and marched up stairs into a little dark and dismal room, at the top story. On his entrance, he observed two other men. whom the fellow with the wooden leg represented to be smugglers. They then produced a quantity of goods. which looked very fine to the eye, and easily prevailed upon poor Tyke to make the purchases now iirodnced for four guineas, assuring him that they were worth treble the sum. He, however, soon discovered the imposition after leaving the house. Marmon, the officer, said that he was convinced the fellow sin had defrauded the York•hireman was the notorious Diek Bowers the duffer, from the description. The Mag.atrnte regretted that he could be of no assistance to the applicant, and observed that it was a just punishment on many. who, instead of dealing with the respectable shopkeepers, sutte:el themselves to be duped by vagabonds. MARKET& LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 3. During the week we have had some considerable imports, but to-day, and expected. the buainess has been 'err It• mited, and although this day's market was tolerably well wended. vet the Wheat trade was languid, especially new Wheat, and a re. auction of about 2d. per 71.11 b. is the consequence.
