Mr. HEALO wished to mention to his Lordship a ease in which a decree had been made, directing a gentleman, who was a solicitor oC thi.l'ourt, to pay in a very consider:Al , sum of money. This decree had been appealed against, but the hearing of the appeal could not for some trine take place. lie had also a motion to make on tne subject, for an order to restrain the proceedings in the Mawr ices office, pending the appeal ; but he had not been able to bring it on, such was the difficulty of making a motion in this Court. He apprehended that his client would be ordered to pay the money Into Court ; but he was only anxious that, while the appeal was proceeding, it should not get into the pocket of the plaintiff. His I.ordship knew the extreme difficulty tint existed in bringing for ward a motion. Ile understood it was his Lordship's intention to hear the whole of them that were in smear upon the last Seal. This would have =Dated his client, bat that the other side had pro. sided against such a circumstance, by preparing to take out sic eutiol for the amount of the money in question. Mr. Hoag E wished to be informed what was the name of the case to which his Learned Friend was alluding. Mr. HEAI.D stated that it was Vt'rotham r. Price. Mr. HORNE objected to its being mentioned without notice to his client. The Loan CHANCELLOR said notice ought to have been given that the matter was intended to be brought on to.day, for were he now to make any order, some one would upbraid him to-morrow with having heard a case in the absence of the adverse party I and the consequence would be, that he should be obliged to bear the case three or four times over. Let it be mentioned to the respective Solicitors. lIENDIZADEL v. SACITADO• His Lownsttre informed the Counsel engaged in this cause that the Registrar had furnirind him with acreraf cases applicable to the question before him, and which they might peruse if they thought proper. VICE•CHANCELLOIVS COURT, TurepAY, JULY 18. . GOBLET V. neecutv. 1 This east, which respected the construction of a will, came on I Mr the farther hearing of arguments. The testator s who had been a sculptor, In a codicil to his will, left to one of his Mends R beouest in these words, " all my mod s ", by which (as he expressed to a orison who was present at die mak- Ink the codicil) he meant " all my models." The questions for the Court to decide were—the meaning to be attached to the word, or abbreviation, " mod.", which on one aide it was contended meant mouWa," on the other " models.;" and also the admissibility of the evidence of the witness above referred to respecting the Inten tion of tht testator, When the matter had been previously before the Court, the Vice-Chancellor, on account of the novelty of the ewes had directed Counsel to search the books for any przeedenta that bore upon it. In support of reception of the evidence, Mr. SHAPW ELL cited se veral cases, admitting, however, that they were not directly in point ; on which account Mr. SUGDEN contended that such evidence could not be received, as it would be in a direct violation of the prow atoms of the Statute of Frauds. The arguments of Ccunsel having been concluded, The V ICE-01.1INGELLOII said that when threw had formerly been before him, he had entertained a suspicion that no direct authority could be found bearing upon it. He bad looked into the books himself, and (like the search of COMM! with the same object) had failed, as he had apprehended he should, in finding any that could goveni him in his decision ; he was reduced to the necessity : therefore, of deciding upon principle rather than upon authority. According to the Statute of Frauds, every will must. be expressed in writing. That writing might either present difficulty in an attempt to decypher its letters, or be ambiguous in its expressions. In one case, the evidence of persons skilled in penmanship might be called in tor the purpose of explaining the meaning of the written characters; in the other, proof might be .obtained of general and oft-avowed intention. In the present case, however, the question was, whether evidence should be received of what the testator declared WItS the meaning of the hieroglyphics he had used at the very time of his writing them. In bis opinion, to receive such evidence would be a clear admission of parole testimony respectirg that which the testator said he intended to bequeath—would be clearly in opposition to the Statute or Frauds, and would let in the very abuse, to provide against which that Act was specially intended. lie was, therefore, clearly of opinion, that this case should be referred to the Master. to ascer tain what the testator meant by his written will, and for that pur pose to call to his aid the judgment of persons skilled in penman ship to decypher his writing, and also the assistance of persons acquainted with the tools and articles used by mammies to explain what the testator intended to have expressed by the word " mod." INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. • Yesterday morning the Chief Commissioner presided, to adju. dicate upon cases which had been adjourned during the last sittings. The list contained the names of 27 pet.tionets, several of whom stand at opposed cases. The (shoeing persons were discharged without opposition, viz.: —John Capner. James Treeby , William Cock, Duke William Stone, James Mostyn, Thomas Slater, John Warwick, Mails Csa, William Williams, Ann Marsh, and C. Vincent. Scream' cases were further adjourned sine die. Diroly IlenJleim, who has repeatedly been before the Court, was brought up for final hearing. • The insolvent, who had been a merchant at Ilarnburgh a ndnd Bir mingham, was opposed. In all the stages of this . Mr. Mandl, on beliail of several authors. It appeared that the insolvent had within a short time contracted debts to a very considerable amount, and that opting to his books being. a, he alleged, in the hands or under the control of a person mimed Serous, he was unable to give any other than a vague tsceount of his affairs ; hence the hearing was adjourned from ume •to time. Mr. II raTif said, yesterday, that after all the investigations ,kids had been instituted, the books, such as they wero, were at variance with the testimony of the insolvent; the ( ourt would, therefore, perhaps, appoint his (Mr. Death's) clients matignees, and then it would be for them to make the best of the matter in were power. Ott; raw lIT granted the application, and the insolvent was or- Saad i.e dutch:aged. JUDG3IEN . T§. Wetiara Porter came up to receive the judgment of the Court. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said that the insolvent load becn heard several weeks back before COIRMiIIiOIIeTS 1l tuts and Bowen, .who, after hearing the case, had 'Limited down the judgment wt.iell the Court ought to pronounce. All th erefore, which he (Use Chief Commissioner) had to do was, to declare that the insol vent should not be diselitrged from custody until he had been cen. tuned triiluti the walls of the prison for six calendar months from the date of his petition, at the suit of Mr. Wiwiley, fur having fraudulently cotEracted a debt with him. James Tittaton. who was heard on a previous day, was also brought up fur judgment. The CHIEF I'(,,lttsstosEn. after taking a cursory view of the case. t.entenced the insolvent to be remanded for eight calendar mouths, at the mitt of some Obi m more ut his creditors, tor traudu tutatly making an ay with his property. POLICE. Al A NSION-HOUSE. Woolf Lee was yesterday brought before the LORD MAYOR, foe a aveionti examination, charged with having committed an offence ueder the Act called '• Jon.ohan Wild's Act." The prisoner is son of Herman Lee, who was one of the most ex teosive•recrivers of stolen gaols in the country. He it was who purchased the threat deal, immediately after it had been stolen, a good many years ago. fhe son has gone by his real name. and the assumed name. of Willi:an Leigh. J. H. Leigh, Gable, and (/,ball, each of which he adopted in different neighbourhood*. When the prisoner was pot to the bar, he addressed the Lord Mayor thus t--••DI y Lord, I had order-al the attendance of a pro. te•sional man in this case ; he is not present, but we Rhea allow the examination to go forward, if you permit me to cross-examir.e 1.4. e witnesses•" The Loan MAYOR said that he should wait until the Solicitor should make his appestautice. The prisoner should not have it to say d.at every advantage was not given to hint. bee (with greet contidence and familiarity)—ll'ell, well, my Loid, we'll go on with the case. The ease was then proceeded with. Mr. Fossiek, whose ►hop was robbed of umbrellas and other articles, attended, and stated, in 'newer to twine q u estions put to him by the Lord Mayor, as follows :—The prisoner called im 04, and said be could get me pan of the property that had been amlen from me. I did not pay him any mom y upon the OCC3SiIYI ; but I raid, I was willing to do so, upon the recovery of the leo- Petty and the prosecution of the thieves. Ile said that all 04 might be done, and he asked ate for some property like tbrat Iribial had been stolen from us. We let him have sine brella, as a pattern, but we never saw him or the umbrella till pow . -----.-.- - Lee-1 am ready to give up the umbrella. which I took merely tonesist me in the investigation. (A laugh.) The boan MAYOR observed to the City Solicitor, who at tended upon the occasion, that this case, he apprehended, did not come within the meaning of the Act, as Alte kowsick hid given no money. The CITY SOLICITOR was of the same opinion. 31r. Penick further steted, that lie was present when the pri soner spoke to Mr. Prior, the silversmith, who had been robbed eubsemirntly. Lee said to Mr. Prior that the stolen property was at three different places ; and that, if he was sufficiently remune rated, he would produce it. The LORD MAYOR—What did he say would be a sufficient re muneration ?-Mr. Foesick-He said he would be satisfied with 30/. ; to which Mr. Prior replied, that if the property was restored and the parties brought to Justice, he should willingly give that mum. Lee said, upon receiving this aesurance, that he thought there would be no di ffi culty in fiading the parties, and bringing them to justice. The LORD MAYOR called upon Cowton, the officer, to whom the prisoner had gone to make inquiries about the robberies, to state the whole of the transaction before the City Solicitor. Cowton said, that Lee had applied to him, representing him self as • person in the Secretary of State's Office, and obtained from him a sovereign and a half-crown, under pretence of enabling him to recover the property stolen front Mr. Fosaick aid from Mr Prier. Lee (to Ceston)-Allow me to ask you a question or two. Did I rot distinctly tell you, that nothing would do, without prosecut ing the thieves, as well as recovering the property?-Cowton. Certainly me, in the first instance. \Viten I told you that myself, you agreed with me ; but the proposal never 060: wed with you. Lee-Did 1 mot ray that it would be advisable to get a sample of the thing , that were stolen, before we proceeded any further ?- Coston. Yes, I admit that you did. Irce-Well, that shows that my intention was a good one, al though it did not prove successful. Cl what offence am I guilty ? The Loan Mevoe-You are here accused of obtaining money under pretence of getting back part of the property that had been stolen. Drinkwater (who, Lee said, had sent hint to Cowton) stated that the prisoner called upon him, mat asked him whether therc was any reward for the two robberies? He replied in the negative, but sent him for further information to Cowton. Lee told him upon the occasion, that he knew *here Mr. Prior's plate was. The LORD MAYOR-Do you know this prisoner? Drinkwater said he did know him formerly ; he believed Lee to have been • pawnbroker. Lee-My Lord, I never slid 1 knew positively where the plate was ; I only said I believed I did. Where, if I knew it positively, would have been the use hi my wishing to get three warrants Drinkwater and Cowton both declared that he said he knew where the property lay. The ahopn i an to Mr. Capper, at whose house Lee met Mr. Prior and Alr. Foesiek, said he distinctly heard Lee state that he knew where 'the plate lay. Lee also said that he was an officer in the Secretary of State's office, and above Gorton in power. Mr. rossick-lie told us that he could search far stolen goods without a search.warrant, and that he was far above all other offi cers.- (A laugh.) Lee-I am willing to return the sovereign which I borrowed of Cowton. Ile understood the business. He lent it to me. lie was, in fact, to hate his expenses paid and balfolthe reward. The LORD MAYOR—Is that the case ? Cowton replied that it certainly was the case. The Loan 31er oa admitted that bee had managed the case with a great deal of ingenuity. Lce-There is nothirg against me whatever. (A laugh.) A publican, named Carruthers, stepped forward and said, that his house had been robbed some time ago, and that Lee came to him in a bustle, said he would take the thieves, staid up all night in the house, and demanded to be paid for his trouble nex t mornin g . The Cond uctor of the Bow-street Patrol stated that the prisoner had pasted himself off as an officer of that establishment. Mary Elliott, the wife of a watchman, stated that Lee demanded ha. from her for having assisted her husband in taking a person In the street. who was accused of having robbed the house. Upon that occasion Lee carried a staff, and lie assumed the air of a man in power, in tossing about the furniture. The street-keeper at Islington stated, that upon one occasion bee produced a staff, and said, 6 * I ant Lee, of Hatton-garden, and I demand your assistance in dragging along this woman," alluding to a woman whom he searched. Lee, upon that occasion, on find ing that there was no stolen property about the woman, said the thing was unimportant, and let her go. (A laugh.) The Conductor of the Bow-street Patrol said, be hod sent to Bow-street, to ascertain whether the prisoner was an officer • and had received a total denial, signed by Bishop, Taunton, and the other principal officers. Lee-If Mr. Bishop was here, he would give me the very best of characters. The Conductor of the Patrol-The prisoner carried things with so high a hand, that lie said before the people that he was my mas ter, and could punish me if I did rot do aslie desired. The holm %%von, to the prisoner-Are you Lee, of Hatton. garden Lee-Yes; fourteen years ago I was sworn in at Hatton-garden. (A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII. I'll adjourn the ease till Saturday. Lee-Not till Saturday ; that is my Sabbath; let it be Friday. But you have no charge against me. The holm Marott-You'll find that we have quite enough against you. The ease was then remanded till Friday. SINGULAR CASE.-Two 'icemen, named Brown and Gordon, were charged with having robbed a gentleman named Lane, of three 51. notes of the Ipswich Bank. • The prosecutor, In walking through Bishop agate-street on Se tarday night, was addressed by Brown, who took him by the arm, and asked him very kindly to take a walk with her. He disen gaged himself, and Brown walked away; but he had rather a I - rumble' in his trowaers pocket, and upon Pu Ong his hands in, he felt that his notes were gone. He immediately turned reund, a saw her talking to a Captain of a ship. He put his hand upon her, and told the Captain that she had just robbed him ; to which the Captain replied, that nobody was more likely to do a thing of the kind. She was then conducted to the watch-house, where she was -searched, but no money watt found upon her. The Captain, how. ever, described Gordon, who he said had suddenly left Brown, when the latter spoke to him, and an officer was despatched after the prisoner, who was soon afterwards found in Houndsclitch, and taken to the watch-house end searched. While the operation of searching was going forward, she made the meet desperate resist ance red outcry. The notes soddenly dropped near the spot where she was searched, and ell who were present were convinced that it was from her they had dropped. The Captain stated that Brown, when she addressed him, said. " I remember, Sir, having seen you before ; and I am very sorry for the robbery I committed upon you some years mg.." She had scarcely said the words, when Alr. Lane came up and accused her. The Loan MAYOR—And were you robbed by her ? The Captain- Exactly six years ago I was robbed by her of a ler note, on the very spot where I met her on the night of this rob bery. 1 did not prosecute her, on account of the trouble and an noyeance ; and I never saw her since until Saturday night. The two prisoners denied that they knew any thing about the motes. The officers said they were two of the most desperate thieves. Nothing was too hot or too heavy for them. They had stolen hun dreds of pounds out of gentlemen's pockets. They were then fully committed. BOW-STREET. Some time ago Mr. J. Dickson, a gentleman connected with the Vige Bay Company, was brought bee:tee the M .gistrates of this office, elierged on the information of Mr. %Yin. Taylor, of Craven. street. terand, with intending to commit a breach of the peace, by lighting a duel with John Sydney Taylor, Esq. of Darden -court, Temple, banister, informant's brother. Mr. Dickson, it then up. peered, had name notion to suppose that Mr. Taylor was the writer of some articles width appeared in the Morning Herold a short time previously, reflecting upon the conduct of the individuals con nected with the Vigo llay project, and ma e particularly upon the character of himself (Mr. Dickson). Mr. Dickson having been (as it was mated) unable in obtain an explanation from Alf. Taylor, he applied an (lenitive term to the latter gentleman, and in consequence each appointed a friend tearrange a meeting. elf. Steele, HA the" friend of Mr. Dickam, and lilt. Murphy, a literary gentleman, on Iseult* of Mr. Taylor, met (on a Saturday), and arranged that a' meeting should take place on the same day at Norwood. The parties did meet, but lily. William Taylor havitig in tie interim given Information to the Magistrates here, they were arrested soon after they had taken the ground by Ituiliven the officer, on a war rant, and brought up said held to bail. lnenediately upon their arrest a proposition was made that they should meet as soon as poe slide at (Asia. wit:eh proposition was understood by alt. Steele to be agreed upon on ad side*. On the unit day, however, atter the examination had taken place at this office. Mr. Steele received an intimation from Mr. 31urphy that Mr. Taylor lad departed upon circuit, and teat he had desired him to say, that after what had passed on Saturday, he (Mr. Te)te) should decline meeting Mr. Dickson under any eitcoinstanete. A long correspondence fol. Inwed between 3lr. Murphy and Mr. Steele, which the latter gen tleman caused to be published as an advertisement iu the Tyner newspaper of Friday last. The No.of the Tinier paper, containing the correspondence alluded to, found its way (we tip not know how) into the bands of Mr. Balls, who, on Monday evenitig, desired Rothven the officer to read the letters, and then asked hint whether, in his opinion, they were calculated or iutended to provoke a breach of the peace? liaitliven haring answered in the affirmative, Mr. flails desired him to give an information on omit to that effect, 'Weil was done, and yesterday morning Mr. Dickson and Mr. Steele were brought here on a warrant by Taunton. Mr. netts, addressing Mr. Steele, said, " I hold in my hand. Sir, the 7'inter newspaper of the kith inst., in .which I have read several letters beating your name, anti, as I presume, published by your authority, and which appear to me to have been publiehtd with a view to provoke a breach of the peace." Mr. Steele-I beg to inform you, Sir. that so far was it front my intention to provoke a new breach of the peace by the publication of throe letters, my object was, by publishing, to put an end to the bustling foe ever ; and, as a proof of this dispositfon, I told the Editor of the Timer that that was my object. I esnaidere.l Taylor to be so degraded by his conduct, that if Mr. Dickson would still place hiniseif in my hem's, I could as soon think of allowing him to meet a person front the hulks. Here Mr. HALLS interrupted Mr. Steele, and sald he would not sit to listen to such an attack upon an absent individual. Such an obserretion was highly improper, and cetild not be permitted in any Court of Justice. Mr. Steele apologized for using such language, aul hoped Mr. THE BRITISH PRESS. Halls would allow him to mention another circumstance which in. fluenced his determination—which was, that if 111 r. Taylor, either from desperation, or the advice of his friends, should attempt to renew the business, he (Mr. steele) would not permit his friend Mr. Dickson to accede to It, as after what had occurred it would appear to be a sanguinary hunt after a man's life, and nut that kind of re paration which though he acknowledged was highly illegal , was yet sanctioned by the usage of this country. Mr. HALLS—I shall consider it necessary to hold you to bail in the same manner as Mr. Dickson. Mr. Steele—Sir, I submit to your candour and gentlemanly feel- I ing, whether, after I have given you my solemn assurance, and am ready to make affidavit that the letters were published, not for the purpose of provoking a duel, but to put an end to the busi ness al'ogether, you will consider it necessary to call upon me to find bail. Mr. HALLS—I should have held you to bail when you appeared bete before, had I then have known, as I have learned by the pub licittion of these letters, that you were a party to this transaction. I must call on you to find bail in the same amount as your friend. Mr. Steele—You would have a great Aeil to do, Sir, if you were to call upon all persons to find hail who have engaged in transac tions of this kind fm the last few years; and as I have written a letter since the publication, declaring that I will have nothing further to do with the business, I trust you will not consider it necessary to compel me to produce bail. Mr. HALLS-1 think I may he content wilt your making me your solemn promise, which must be considered binding, not only in reference to me as a Magistrate, but as between gentlemen, that you do not contemplate any bleach of the peace. Mr. Steele—l promise most faithfully. Mr. HALL/I—l expect the same pledge from Mr. Dickson. Mr. Dickson bowed an assent. Mr. Ilaaas—As anon as 11r. Taylor returns from his proton. atonal duties on the CYresit, I shall certainly feel it my duly to place him in the same situation as Mr. Dickson. I take this op pertunity to remark, that gentlemen seem to entertain a very mis. taken notion that after entering into recognizancca to keep the peace here, they are at liberty to cross the Channel and fight in another country. But I assure them that it niattera not whether the parties go to C hale or Pekin, their recognirancea are equally lialle to be torfeittsl on their committing a breach of the peace with any of his 3lajcrty's subjects; and I do not know—though the practice hits then common—whether the pmprietors of oewspapers, who publish correspondence of dais description, do not render themselves amenable. I have the higheat respect for the liberty of the press, and should be very sorry to see that liberty abused. The parties thcn left the office. We were informed that yesterday morning Mr. Murphy wrote to Mr. Steele, informing him that he had just received a letter front Mr. Taylor, in which the tatter expressed himself willing to meet Mr. Dickson at Calais. A meeting now, however, is of course out of the question. • Lieutenant Kenny was brought up for final examination, which, at the request of his Mends (we know not why), took place in a private room. An additional witness was examined, who deposed that he heard Mr. Kenny say, after Mr. Charlton was shot, • Mr. (l akes," (the officer of the watth) " you could have prevented this." Mr. Oakes was called, and in explanation said, lie thought his first duty was to acquaint the Captain. Mr. Charlton's relations declined a prosecution, hut Sir IL BIRNts said he felt it his duty to send the case for inves tigation by a Jury, and cotnmit.ed the prisoner for trial for wilful murder, at the next Admiralty Sessions. HATTON GARDEN. VINDICTIVE ACCUSATION.—On Monday last, a young woman, named Mary Griffiths, came before Mr. LAING. to prefer a complaint of a very serious nature against her master, who, so far as we could learn, is a very respectable solicitor, holding chambers in the New Inn, but-residing in Holborn. The complainant, who is about twenty years old, and of no very prepossessing appearance, frankly and flippantly informed the Ales giatrate, that she came to get a Warrant against her master, for at tempting to commits rape Miller person. Mr. Lama hinted to her that she was about to make a very actions charge, and it would therefore be prudent to collect herself in detailing the circumstances. The complainant said that she was perfectly collected, and would willingly swear to the truth of her statement. Mr. Larva, however, would not permit her to be more until he had first beard the story. The complainant then stated that she lived as servant in the fas mily of the gentleman against whom she had now to prefer tais ' charge. On the evening or Sunday, the 2d instant, her mistreat and the other inmates of the house went out after tea, and there was no person in the house left at home hut complainant and het master, who was in the back parlour. which latterly had been con. vetted into an office. Having occasion to go into the apartment, her master called her to the further end, and getting between her and the door, he took her round the waist, and forcibly threw her on the Hem, when he proceeded to other indecent liberties with I her person; at this time he was partially undressed, so that she could entertain no doubt as to his design, and she screamed loudly for assistance, but as he was well aware that nu person was within hearing. he did not desist, and overpowered by his violence she swooned away ; with respect to what followed whilst in that state of insensibility, she could not speak positively, but it was her im pression that the actual crime had been attempted. The complainant having gone thus far with her evidence. Mr. LAING directed the officer to administer the usual oath, at the same time recommending her to be particularly cautious in what She said, as the charge was one of a very heinous nature. The complainant having been sworn, repeated the previous alle gation, and further added, that whilst she lay on the floor, her master put his hand over her mouth to prevent her calling for assiat &nee that he made her an offer of money if she would yield to his desires. Mr. Larva—What money was offered you ? Complainant —Master first took three sovereigns nut of his pocket, but I refused them the then told me I was a fool, and said he would give me five; but I still refused, and called for assistance. Mr. Larsa—(low soon after this occurrence did you mention it to your friends ? Complainant—Not for ten days. Mr. Larwo—How came you to keep it secret so long? Complainant—l don't know, Sir. I was ashamed to tell it. Mr. LAING—You don't seem to be notch ashamed now. Who was it that advised you to conic to cilia office? Complainant—lt was my sister, to whom I first mentioned it. Mr. LAING—Has your toaster renewed the attempt at any time since ? CompL inapt—No, he has not ; we were never left alone. Mr. Lai No—Did you ever give any hint respecting what you now deacribe , to your mistress or your fellow-servants ? complainant—l did nut. Mr. balsa—Why did you not? Complainant—l was afraid. Mr. bat an—lllve you ever had any quarrel with your master or mistress? Complainant—Never, Sir. Mr. Latso—Then you Mean to persist in the statement you have now made ? Complainant—Yes, Sir; most certainly. The complainant's sister, a smart, pert, little Woman, was then examined. She described herself as the wife of a Mr. Everitt, who holds a situation in the India House. On Thursday last she, in company with a third sister, who is a servant in a gentleman's ' family, called to see the complaisant. IVitnese remained outside whilst the other went in, and in a few minutes she came out in tears, having learned front the complainant what had happened. They then resolved on taking her away immediately, and fur that purpoaa tequested to see her master; who, on being taxed with it, dented all knowledge of the transaction, though he had previously offered complainant a large sum of money to make friends, and say nothing about what had occurred. Me. LA IS 6—Was the money offered in vtair presence? Mrs. Everitt —Ns, Sir, it WAS not ; but I heard toy sister say so. Alf. L A ING, to complainant—What was the sum which your master tendered to you. in order to keep hack this charge? Complainant—l think he said he would give me 3001., if I sail nothing about it. Mr. LAi u—Ane you refused? Complainant—l dal. Mr. liars° then caked the witness, if she heard all this on Thursday, why the charge was not made sooner ? Mrs. Everitt said that site did not like taking any proceeding without the concurrence of her husband, whom she did not see until late on Friday evening, and on Saturday a professional gentle man was consulted, who advised them to apply for a warrant. dlr. batten said that the gial's story appeared so very doubtful, he should merely grant a common assault warrant, which would be quite sufficient to compel the personal attanilithee of the accused, and the hearing WAS fixed for twelve o'clock on the fallowing day. The'warrant having been put into the hands of Wainwright, one of the officers of this estabhahrnent, the person named in it was brought up yesterday in custody, to:computed by several friends, together with the servants, aid his wife, whese elegant anti lady like appearance would haae almost denied the possibility that any man of tame or feeling coatd have descended so low as to court the embraces of his own servant, and she not one of the most prcpos. sensing, but-111 gnailms non ditputundum. 'lie examination was-taken in private, before three Magistrates, arid, we presume, in compliment to the fec:ings of the gentleman's friends, every means were adopted to prevent the name getting publicity, the reporters and all other perms rot actually connected with the case being excluded. This much, however, transpired. The complainant's testimony exhibited a very great discrepancy in the most important points, as compared with the story that she told on Manday. It also came out that she hail been under w .ruing from her mistress at the very time that the outrage was alleged to have been attempted, and that her conduct was altogether of a very exceptionable nature. Mr. LAING (with whom the other Magistrates concurred) ob served that the charge appeared to be very undeserving of credit ; and when lie granted the warrant lie WAS decidedly of the same opinion. The girl hat prevaricated so much, that he could not con scientiously believe her on her oath. The complaint was therefore dismissed. The defendant said it was Iris determination not to let the matter rest here, because it was too bad that private teeing should he wounded, ' and the peace of a family disturbed, merely to gratify the malevolence of a girl who happened to fancy herself injured, because her mistress had thought proper to reprimand her for mitt. conduct. He solemnly assured the Magiatmens that he had never attempted to compromise the charge, however disagreeable it might be to him as a married man ; but It was quite clear that the object was to extort money from hint on that pnnciple. The complainant and her sister then withdrew, evidently much mortified by the unfortunate result of their speculation. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPORTANT TO 110ESEEF.EPERS.—A gentleman applied to Sir ti. TARRANT and Mr. DYED yesterday, for information oil the part of a neighbour, an elderly widow lady, in Little Marl borough-street, who had been duped that morning in the manner , following : A foreign gentleman, said the applicant, who asserted himself to be a Parisian merchant, trading in articles of tijuntrie and verb', knocked at her door, and desired to he shoe') some apartments. At first she hail great difficulty to understand his broken English, but made out suffitieet to comprehend that he wanted to take her lodg ings; they were shewn to him, and he approved of them and the rent, which was to commence on the morrow, alien he would take posaession. Not having the whole of his valuables removed from on shipboard, being short of money to pay the Custom-house dues, he said if she could accommodate him with the loan of 51. he would deposit with her, for security, a gold watch, a musical snuff-box, and iwo shawls, all of French manufacture. SO splendid and con. tiding a tenant was too inviting for a refusal. The old lady handed him five stovereips, and the French gentleman departed, to " call j again to-morrow !" %%rhea the applicant called on the lady, she I told him the good fortune she had in meeting with so desirable a I ledger, and chewed him the articles. Ile at once saw she hail been (lancet, and applied to the Magistrates to learn what was to be dune I if he came next day. Ssr O. Fan RA sr —Oh, you need not be afraid of that. It is a very old tick. What is the value of the things ? The Itentlea-an—One of the shawls is worth about I Is., the other 15s. or Ills. ; the watch is one of those gilt toys that are sold at fairs, with an apparently gold dial-plate. The musical sauff box would only play once, Judging by the works • there was a key to wind it up, but tearing toe first wind would be the last, he did not like to set it going. It was a mock tortoise hell case, with a portrait of La Fayette. The foreigner is a Jew with a Roman nose, rather tall, speaks French, and is very well known to the police. The Magistrates told the gentleman they could afford hint no relief. Obtaining the meney was a loan, and if she took instalt ticient security, the fault was tier own. The inhabitants of Leicester square, particularly the north side, have been annoyed for many months h'y butchers and fishmongers depositing all sorts of offal against the rails, without the watchmen being able to protect them. To such an extent bad this nuisance been carried, that one family was actually laid up with a fever, which they attributed to the effluvia carried into their house by the wind. The inhabitants had appointed a special patrol to detect the author of the nuisance, who on Monday night was apprehended with an empty pail in his hand, the contents of which lie had the moment before deposited at the rails. A Gentleman said he spoke the voice of the inhabitants when be requested the interference of the Magistrat. a. Sir 0. FARRAR'!" said they hail only the power to fine hint in the penalty of On, wiiich,if they detected another or two, would spread an alarm sufficient to check the nuisance. UNION HALL. lironwAy Wriiiri, — "a young man, named IVillinm IVillry, was brought to this office in custody, before the Sitting 31sgis:rate, B. J. Citanagets, Esq., charged with as saulting 31r. Bradley, and taking from his person a gold chain and seals. _ The complainant stated that on Monday morning, about two o'clock, as he was rerarning from Battersea, on passing near the watergate entrance of Vauxhall gardens, the prisoner, accompanied by two other men, the latter of whom made their escape, ran against him, the prisoner in front and his two associates in the rear. Immediately on which the former struck him a violent blow on the face, and made a snatch at his watch chain. In the tug, however, the chain broke off close to the wa.cb, and the prisoner, together with the other two fellows, ran off, followed by .Mr. Bradley, who in the pursuit kept the prisoner in sight, and distinctly observed him throw the chain and seals up into the air as he ran along. Mr. Bradley continued the pursuit, and having a gun in his hand, which he had used on the occasion of a pigeon match, called to the prisoner that he would certainly shoot him if he did not stop. The threat of shooting had the effect of intimidating the prisoner, who immediately slackened his pace. and he was secured by one of the watchmen outside the gardens. The latter part of the complainant's evidence was corroborated _ry the watchman, and the prisoner was Fully committed to the assittbi row holding et Guildford. A man named Intkeling, well known to the police, was placed at the bar, on a charge of breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. Smith, a currier Ahli leather dresser, of Ikrmondsey, and stealing therefrom a quantity of leather. The offence was committed up wards of a year and a half ago, ever since which period the prisoner has been out of the way. Mr. Smith's foreman stated the circumstances of the robbery, and the finding of' the stolen property. Be said, that in the month of January, 1825, his employer's house was broken into, and robbtel of a quantity of skins of leather, specimens of which were now produced. The robbers, it appeared, had a cart and horse Mr the purrose of conveyilyg away the . property ; but, by some miff. chance on their part, the vehiele broke down in flemiondsey-street, and the noise occasioned by the accident soon collected a crowd of persons, who were anxious to lend their essisrance. Some watch men also happening to come up at the time, the persons in the cast were oh-erved to leave the spot altogether, and abandon the cart and leather to their fate. Suspicion was excited in consequence, particularly as it happened to be oti a Sundiy, and cart, leather, and all, were taken off to the Green-yard. Soon afterwards it was ascertained that Mr. Smith's house had been broken into, and that gentleman Identified the leather as his property.. Subsequent to the robbery a claimant came toward for the cart and horse, who stated his name to be Josephs, and described the names and per sons of the individuals who had hired them frosts him on the occa sion above.staied, declaring that he had no corception his cart and horse were to be employed as it turned out they were. Josephs particularly described Wakeling as one of the men, and in conse quence, Joseph Snow, the constable of Newington, rt very active man, has been on the lock out Tor him. Front Snow's account it appeared that Wakeling had completely abandoned hit old haunts ever since the above robbery. However, a day or two ago. as Snow was walking along the Strand, he saw NVakeling, who was metamorphosed in point of personal appearance, being at the time dressed in a very fashionable manner, with a splendid gold chain and seals appending from his watch. The Constable, how ever, instantly knew him, and haying informed him that he was " wanted" at Union-hall about some leather, and that he must come, the prisoner turned on him as quick as lightning, and struck him a tremendous blow on the temple. Snow, however, held him fast, and was certainly dreadfully maltreated before he managed to get hint into the watch-house, which he ultimately succeeded in accomplishing. The witnesses, of whom there were a great number, established the case against the prisoner to the Magistrate's satisfaction, and he was fully committed for trial. Previous to the prisoner being taken from the bar, he made string efforts to have the chain and seals delivered up to him, de clarit.g that they were his own property, but he could not be in. duced to eescribe from whom or where he had purchased them. On this account the Magistrate directed Snow to keep them in his possession, in the event of an owner coming forward to claim them, as it was almost preposterous to suppose that a man of the prisoner's habits could have'borne by them in an honest manlier-- The chain is a curb one, of French manufacture, and worth at least seventeen guineas; the seals are also handsome, consisting of two • I cornelian and one amethyst in chased gold. in SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The Cotton used for ha w " manufacture for the !art six months is nearly one-third less than preceding years ; the best-irformed and the capitalists sin of opt, nion that the use of cotton goods will be greatly affected by silks ; the competition of the English, the French, and haat India, p m ducing its natural consequences, prices exceedingly low, which wilt promote the consumption of silk goods to a great extent. At a late hour the inquiries revived ; 200 Suers sold 41d. a add., 80 Beng a l, Ofd. a 5d.: 60 Pernams, 10d. a 104 d. SUGAll.—The demand for tine Sugars and for very low q u i,. ties was considerable last week ; both descriptions sold nabsr higher, but the sales were not extensive, as the buyers only pa r . baited for their immediate wants, as they anticipated large sup. plies of new 111 m o -wades this morning; the only Sugar, that hone heavily on the market, and could be purchased cheap, were those from 525• a 565. This morning the show of new 31inicarades wa s not so extensive as what had been generally anti c'prited : the deli. veries last week were nearly the same as the corremonding erra s t of last year. The buyers being disappointed in , he show of a u . gars, evinced no inclination to purchase, except for their immediate wants; there was little alteration in the price* by Trieste tontract the estimated sales by private contract were shout MI etas. Mika. ritius Sugar, 3e2l begs, the whole went of freely, the grey and brown Is. lower ; the yellow, suitable for geneery, fully support,d the previous prices —St. Lucia, 1110 hhds. 26 bets. sold 624, a re:/S a ahtule lower.--Java. 214 baskets. 2ls. a 325. rather lower.—Bar. baJoea, 121 ['lids., :'Js. a 703., also nt a small decline. At the close of the market today, Sugars at public sales were 6d, a Is. lower. The shippers did not purchase Refined for export lan week, though the prices have fallen 4s. and Ss., nearly. in proper. tion to the withdrawing of the bounty, which placer; them in the same situation which they were in previously to the fith itTht.; Lumps., then 795. and Bflta., were last week offered at 745. ; the only purchasers were the wholesale grocers for (lie home comma. tion of the country ; they bought consiecrable parcels at a decline of about 24. per cwt.—Mole/nes were 211 a. a 245. Ad.: some c•sal Dominica Molasses sold 21s. The wholesale grocers continued their purchases for the home consumption of the country this mot. ning, but not on an extensive scale ; the prices were little varied ; Lumps dull at 743.-31olaases fell to 243. In Foreign Sugars there was no material alteration to notice last week ; same good white Havanna!' Sugar sold 38s. and 40s.

There was only one public sale of Coffee this forenoon, 342 bags Mocha good ordinary, but very math mixed with black beans, 65a.—above one-half sold. By private contract there are no purchases reported ; it is indeed rumoured, that 2.000 bags St. Domingo have been disposed of, fm money, several shillings below the market prices; but the report is net believed. RUM, BRANDY. and HOLLANDS.—There were exter. sive inqniries after Rum last week, on account of the reported failure of the Spring Corn crop, and the probable rise in the price, of English spirits ; but the purchases actually made were by co means extensive. No Leewards could be purchased under Is. 111., and 2 and 3 over were offered at the same price ; the middling qua. lilies of Jamaica Rum continue neglected ; 30 over 35.. and 32 over 34. 2d. There were some more sales of Brandy a 1825, at 2s. alod. per old gallon ; but the market since has become very heavy, the prices receding to the rates current previnut•ly to the al teration of reinforcing old Brandies. Geneva is without alteration ; there are few purchases lately reported. At a late hour to-day, proof Leewards sold st Is. 101, new ; Brandy of 1824 at 2s. lOd., old measure. INDIGO.—We gave the particulars of the opening of the East India sale on Tuesday last ; since which there has been very link alteration in the prices, except the fine qualities, which are a shade lower; the whole goes off steadily, and with much firmnem ; it is what is termed a goad sale. the Oude being the only indigo which does rot sell. This day there was no alteration in the prices, the demand mill good, anti the fine selling at higher rates to-day on ac. count of the competition among the Foreign buyers ; the sale is ex. pected to close on Thursday.

In the other descriptions there is nothing to eance. lIOPS.—The prices of old hops are entirely nominal ; Ole sc. counts from the country male the picking will be early,aa the llopi are getting fast into burr, and generally look healthy and welt; in some places the tire blaet is mentioned, but the general report is ex ceedingly favourable; the duty has not, however, advanced sites our last publication ; his 155,0001.

In Greenland Oil there are no sales ; the trade waiting the event of the Northern Fisheries; other Oils are at the quotations Galan week, and the market gene rally heavy. TOR.ICCO.—The business doing in Tobacco is still confined to entail parcels to the trade, too inconsiderable to enumerate. The following is an extract from a Viuginia Paper, received this morn ing:—`• Richmond, Virginia, June 19.—Tobacco has advanced about 2 doll per luOlbe. for fine qualities, and a further advance may be expected, from the favintral le accounts received from France, and the very small quantity coming to the inspection., say about 10,1100 hhds. less titan this time twelvemonth." The stock in London consists of about 23,500'11We. against 14,500 Mts. this time last year. We understand that the cotton weavers of Belfast have forwarded a memorial to Government, praying that Minis ters may take their distressful state into consideration, and grant them the opportunity of emigrating, before the in clemency of winter adds to their sufferings. They sum that the overstocked condition of the market, and the con tinual introduction of machinery, prevent the most distant hope of any melioration to their misery at hotne.—Du/ha ! Evening,Post. The distressed weavers of Dublin, employed at labour on the roads, have addressed the following memorial to the Lords Spiritual, Temporal, Clergy, and Gentlemen of the city and county of Dublin, Rec.:— That your memorialists most gratefully acknowledge your li berality. by relieving their distress; nevertheless, the cause of tit,. distress still continues, and is likely for some time to oppress us; and to add to our calamity, it is announced to us that our wags arc to be reduced from one shilling to ten-pence per day, Vow tor cause of the funds bring nearly exhausted.
