(To be continued.) THE S INDWICII ISLANDERS. It's Majesty's ship Blonde arrived at Portsmouth from River on Wednesday. with the remains of the late hint and Queen of the Sandwich Islands on board ; and * n the same evening their late Majesties rube, consisting of isdatne Poki, her husband, the Sccretary, Admiral, and Mr. R-eves, interpreter, arrived at the George Hotel, where s-ey will remain until they embark on board the Blonde to ,tervins to their native country. Mr. Canning, in order to ak• as favourable an impression as possible on the 'l , tarls of these p.rsonagcs of English hospitality and good 1 -..eding, as well as to remove any unjust or injurious con "• turn which their fellow-countrymen may be too apt to ‘ent, from the lamented premature death of their Chief and his consort, has appointed the lion. F. Byng. one of elorks in the Foreign Office, to attend them during the r +++abider of their stay with us, and that gentleman sa lient on Thursday. We undertand that they express . 1 - -nsaselves highly pleased with their introduction to the ltlit..at Windsor, who received them in the most emir 1-no., condescending, and arable manner. Pointing to a , ft-length painting of our late venerable Monarch, which I mg in the apartment In which they were ushered into the Loyal presence, Isis Majesty called their attention to it in • following words, " There, that is my father's picture, rho was so good to your countrymen." So great was t• - e aatiaraction they derived from this mark of Royal favour, that ori their return to town, it was observed they OA not appear to enjoy the same appetite as before; when qiiestionnl as to the cause of this failure, Ma i' Mme Poki replied, " that they were all so full of plea glee, they had no room for any thing else." On the next a'ay. the Secretary carefully committed to paper all that I.ls Majesty had said to them, in order, that he might giva r• he said, a faithful description to his friends on his return. Their manners are deicribed as not having yet acquired the ).iirliest polish they are 'capable of receiving; but when e..nparea with the accounts given by those who accom rinied Captain Cook in his last voyage, when they touched a , these islands, and named them after the then First Lord n# the Admiralty, their intercourse with us, since that pe riod, seems to have been productive of rapid strides towards IVe noticed, however, that the business of breaking their fast was hardly discussed, before the male part of the Royal suite began smoking tobacco. It is said, we know not how truly, that they afford a practical lesson of theiruth of the old adage, " that fingers were made before knives and forks," by sometimes dispensing with those instruments as a superfluous appendage to the dinner table. Madame Poki is a very fair specimen of Sandwich ean beauty ; and a great similarity exists between her and The portrait given in Cook's Voyages, of a young woman of the Sandwich Islands. The men are remarkably tall and well-proportioned, and (excepting the Admiral) have ac quired a slight knowledge of the English language ; they are all in mounting, and dressed strictly according to the English fashion, which, while it obtains for them the advantage of privacy, most consonant, perhaps, under sll circumstances, to their feelings, takes off from the interest their appearance would otherwise excite, if habited in their own costume. They were allowed to inspect the Dock-yard yesterday, with every part of which they ap peared to evince the highest satisfaction ; but that which excited their greatest admiration was the smiths at work in the anchor forge: they appeared delighted to witness the masterly manner in which these men handled the sledge hammer. The whole party afterwards partook of some refreshments at the Commissioner's house. This day they witnessed the guard being relieved on the Parade. Yester day they had the honour of being introduced to Admiral /Air George and Lady Martin. After the Blonde has safely deposited the Royal remains at Woahoo, it is intended she should for a scientific voyage in that quarter of the .globe, for which purpose she has been smply supplied with every thing necessary, and Lieut. C. R. Malden has been appointed surveyor ; a number of literary and scientific 'gentlemen are also embarked, who are well versed in the 'minus branches of natural history, beside which the ship is literally crammed with every necessary, and an immense quantity of presents.—Hampshire Chronicle. MR. OWEN, OF L.4NARK. Mr. Owen sets off to-day for Derby, on his way to Liverpool, to embark for the United States. He goes for the express purpose of treating for the purchase of Rapp 's oetehrated settlement of Harmony, including all the landed property and buildings upon it. The property contains wore than 20,000 acres, 3,000 of which are already under cultivation. About 1,000 acres more are rich meadow land, on the banks of the Wabash. His object is to erect communities upon it, similar to the plan to be put in exe cution at Motherwell. The colony is situated upon the apothem extremit7 of the State of New Indiana. The site, for Mr. Owens new establishment at Motherwell is Seed. It is to be a square, each wing of which will be sae thousand feet long, and the whole covers shout 23 English acres. The quantity of ground bought from Mr. ' Hamilton, of Helsel', is 526 Scots acres, and cost from 27,000/. to 30,0001. A part of the land is inferior, from want of cultivation, but it is all highly improvable. The delay in commencing building is owing to some important improvements having taken place on the original plans. As soon as the plans are fixed on, the preparatory steps of quarrying, making sewers, digging the foundation, &c. will begin. It is calculated that the grand square cc parallelogram, with all the cooking apparatus, will cost above 100,000/. Each side of the square will contain about 500 people, making about 2,000 altogether. The principal improvement in the new plan is, that each side of the square, as it is completed, will be rally for the inhabitants, and no delay take place in putting the new scheme of society into full operation, while the other wings are in progress. Each side of the square is to have a public kitchen, two dining rooms, and a public room. In the inside of the square there will be two octagonal build rigs, with two hot and two cold baths on each side for the use of both sexes. Those tradesmen that enter the community are to have the same rate of wages as are general in the country. A managing committee is to fl a the rate of wages, and the proportion that the members shall have it in their power to draw, which includes the value of their food and clothing. A certain proportion of the wages of every individual is to be retained and placed to their credit as community stock jn the books of the community. This surplus will be i applied to . repay the purchase money and the cost of Tricultural operations meantime and a considerable quantity of The improvements will be spring by the trenehing and laying e brict-making was commenced the purpose of ascertaining the about 300,000 bricks have been required for the establialiment.

Ilobba and ktillyi LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS, GuitamALL. MONDAY, lellill 11. This morning these Sessions were held, pennant to edjouninsent, before the Recorder and a bench of Aldermen. Susannnh fitopper, alias Terrier, was indicted for assaulting Mr. R. Wilson, on the 2:34 of August last. Mr. C. FnrLLirs stated the case to the Jury. The Learned Counsel stated, that in IMO his client became acquainted with the derendant is a casual manner, by meeting her in the street ; Pike that time he had seen occasion to abandon her company, in mime quence of which she had been continually annoying him, and had extorted near 21101. from him at various times, under the premise that she would no longer annoy him, notwithstanding which she had threatened his life. The prosecutor stated, that he lives at Me. Lower Thames. street ; knows the prisoner, and saw her on the day named in the indictment, when she went into the counting-house, used very op. mobeiows epithets, and struck him several blows about the head and free. Mr. Merton—Lives near the prosecutor ; he went over and saw the prisoner; she used very violent language; he observed that Mr. Wilson's face was much discoloured, and she said she wished she had given him more. The prisoner put in a written defence, stating, that she had been induced to live with Mr. Wilson as him wife, and had one child by him. She stated several acts of aggression, and forfeiture of his word on several occasions, and further, that the prosecutor gave the first assault. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mn. PHILLIP/ said his silent did not wish to press for judg ment, but merely to protect himself from assault. The COURT ordered bee to enter into her own recognisance of 40/. to keep the peace. Thomes Mug was indicted for assaulting Edmund Bird, on the oth instant. E. Bird, the prosecutor, said he keeps the George, in West. street, Smithfield ; the prisoner came to his house about two o'clock on the last morning of Bartholomew fair ; lie demanded liquor, which witness refused, whereupon the prisoner tore his waistcoat and closed his eye, the sight of which he had not yet recovered. The prisoner (a respectably dressed man) admitted that he was intoxicated, hut he would not have struck had he not been forced to do it in self defence, as the prosecutor almost throttkd him. Lattimore. a watchman, and several others, proved the assault, and added, that the prisoner kicked him (witness) with such violence on the body, that he had ever since been obliged to wear a trues. For the defence, a witness named Myers was called, who swore that the prosecutor used very aggravating language in reference to the country from whence the prisoner came (Ireland), and that Bird commenced the attack. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER reprobated the system of beeping public houses open at such unseasonable hours, and informed the prose cutor that if he permitted hi. house to be thus open he would stand a great chance of losing his license. The prisoner was ordered to be farther imprisoned one week. CHILI) DROPPING. Awn Jessam, a young woman of respectable appearance, was dieted for deserting her female child, at the parish of St. Bride, Fleet-street, on the Ilith of Jolly last. Ann Cossar—Lived at 29, Water-lane, Fleet-street. On the 16th of July last, at ten at night. she crossed the foot-path in Fleet-street, to go to Falcon-court, when she kicked against a bun. Me, which she took up, and found it to be a child concealed in a cloak. Witness fell over it, or she must have trod upon it. Wit ness took it to Mr. Calton, at the Cheshire-Cheese, who sent it to the master of the workhouse. R. Evans, master of St. Bride's workhouse, received the child at the time, and under the circumstances stated by last witness, he took it to the workhouse, where it had remained ever since at the expense of the parish. In consequence of information he received, he as certained that the child was born in the parish of St. George, Han over-square. Summerfield is nurse at the lying-in ward, at St. George's workhouse, of the above parish ; remembered the prisoner being an inmate there, but could not tell the day she left. Witness acted 42 her nurse during the month. She obtained liberty to go and be churched, on condition that she should appear before the board the next day to swear the child. The child now produced is that of which the prisoner was delivered. Al. Morris apprehended the prisoner in illnlyneuxatreet, Mary. la.bonne. where she said she resided. He afterwards went to the house of Mrs. ()Allmon. la, Great Trinity-lane, where the prisoner had formerly lived, and found several articles of child's clothing, which were furnished by St. George's parish, and sworn to by last witness. Ann Gallimore proved the cloak in which the child was found, to be the property , of the prisoner, who called on wit. nee the day she left the workhouse. She then had the child with her. She called next day and said she had put it out to nurse. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Law said, that there did not appear to have been a e sire to endanger the life of the child, and he was instructed to say. that the parish did not wish for vindictive punishment. /' The prisoner, who, at the outset, wished to plead guilty, made no defence, but threw herself on the humanity of the Court. The Recoanza summed up the evidence, and the Jury re turned a verdict of—Grilly. The COURT said, that the circumstance of her taking care to shield the child from the inclemency of the .weather, and the Probability that the prisoner had watched over the fate of it, should be taken into consideration ; but eases of this sou must not be allowed to pass over without punishment, as it would be holding out a temptation to unfortunate young women to act in a similar manner. The prisoner was then ordered to be confined two calendar months In Giltspnr.street Cornpter, and to be kept apart from the other prisoners. ATTEMPT TO RESCUE. ffesrsetie Reeser was put on his trial for an assault committed with intent to rescue a person named lit-aeon, then in custods , of a watchman, Blow, on charge of robbery, and since convicted foe the same at the Old Bailey. The Cossnow-Senneasyr stated the case fur the prosecutioo, An assault on an officer discharging his duty was a very aggravated offense. Mr. Chamberlayn deposed to the robbery committed on him, and the assault made by the prisoner for the purpose of rescuing the prisoner Beacon; this occurred in Leadeohall-street at eleven at night. The watchman confirmad the allegations relative to the ;smile. The prisoner stated that he was intoxicated. The Itecoanra summed up. Verdict— Gaffey. The RECORDER, after a few minutes' consultation with the sitting Aldevman, stated to the prisoner that he might consider himself fortunate in not having been arrested, on the night in question, at an earlier time than lie actually was, as it was pro bable he would have been found nearer to the person who com mitted the robbery than might be consistent with his immunity from a heavier punishment then the present Court could indict. The judgment of the Court was, •• That the prisoner be impri soned in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour for eighteen months." Christopher Downie stood indicted for an assault on a neigh. hour's wife. It having appeared, from the evidence of the proeautele. that the affair originated from petty quarrels of their ich and was atterded with mutual interchanges of offence and irritation, The RecoaDra told the parties that it was altogether a very silly business, and advised them to shake hands and be good neigh. hours in future. The parties expressed their wish fur reconciliation and shaking of hands. The RECORDER—Then the sooner you do it the better. Shake hands this moment, where you are.—(A laugh.) The prosecutrix and prisoner shook hands most cordially. The RECORDER—That's right, now ; and to avoid any chance of irritation proceeding from your visit to Guildhall, we will give neither of you a triumph. Let a Juror be withdrawn. A Juror 12411 accordingly withdrawn, and the parties retired apparently contented with the result of their litigation. ROEDER'S OT THE BANKER'S PARCEL FROM THE &Yea iNOI4 AM COA CH.—( Further Particulars.)—The rob bery was not discovered till the arrival of the coach in London. On the coachman opening the box beneath his seat, in which the parcel had been deposited at Bucking ham, it was found that the back of the box, consisting of oak board an inch thick, had been cut open by means of a centre-bit, or other instrument, so as to admit a man's hand ; and, from appearances, it was suspected that this board had been cut and taken out the preceding night, in the inn-yard, and that the only substance the robbers cut in their way to town, to get at the parcel, was that of the leather around the sides and back of the coach-box. The coachman's coat hung over the hack of the box, and was cut evidently by the same instrument that cut through the leather. Three men, who took places at Banbury, occu pied the front seat on the top of the coach, and escaped be fore the robbery was discovered. It is remarkalde that Messrs. Bartlett, Nelson, and Co. received intimation about six months ago, that there was an intention t, rob this coach of their parcel on a ce►tain day; but that, on the (lay stated, measures having been taken to entrap the ex pected robbers, no attempt was made. The actual robbery has been skilfully concerted.—Becks Chronicle. On Sunday evening, after the London mail had crossed Bothwell Bridge, it encountered a party of fat bullocks on their way to Glasgow market. One of them had been lying on the road, and the driver pulled up the reins to avoid it. The animal offered to rise, but when it saw the horses were likely to pass without touching it, it lay down again, and one of the coach wheels ran over its body. The coach swung fbr some time on the balance before it overturned, which enabled the outside passengers to leap off; but when it fell, a lady in the laside had her hand lacerated by the glass of the upper panne', which was shivered to pieces and struck her hand. The coachman nimbly leaped off and kept bold of the reins, by which the horses were completely stopped b the time the coach fell. The mail was got up, and pru without much delay.— Glasgow raper. THE BRITISH PRESS. POLICE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Jew, named Levy, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged by another Jew named Wolfson, with havirtg robbed him of various articles, which the prisoner was entrusted to dispose of hi the country. The prosecutor stated, that on the 3Oth of November last, the prisoner applied to hint to be employed as a traveller. and was en. gaged in that capacity.

After a considerable absence, be returned to town with a pair of black eyes, and without either goods or money. The prosecutor, the moment he saw him, sus pected that the black eyes were the symptom of some vile trick. The prisoner said, that, as ha was journeying in the neighbourhood of Chelmsford, he wan knocked down by robbers, who stripped him of his goods, and left him without a penny. To prove this feet he produced a handbill to that effect, which had been issued by the Illagistrates of Cues, to whom he had stated his mis fortune, and who had with great humanity befriended him. The prosecutor then ascertained, that when the prisoner mentioned the circumstance of the robbery to the Magistrates, he acted the part of a robbed man to such perfection that a subscription was entered into, and the sum of 30!. was collected, to set him up once more. Before the prisoner could get possession of the money. however, it was necessary for him to come to town, which he did; and after having paid a visit to the owner of a public-house in the neighbourhood, in wham eat, he had left some property. Upon inquiry, it was learned diet the property which had been entrusted to the pablican was ike other than the prosecutor's goods, which the inteciled lek tarn to his own ni gleaseed advantage , as soon as he MOM Or the amount of the subscription, and which be 10401 a be kept safely for him, until he should finish SIM be bad to attend in at 4 , Chelmsford.

CRIM I SOK. At Bow-street, yesterday, one John Hume, who described him self to be " by profission' a waiter at a roffee-house, was brought up on • warrant, charged with putting Joseph Mama in bodily fear, by threatening to stab him. Mr. Mason, in stating his grievance to the Magistrate, said, he had the honour of being a member of that very respectable and most indispensably necessary fraternity the frieeure of London, and that he carried on his business at Charing-cross, where, thanks be to Providence, not to mention his owe skill in the art, which, he believed, few would venture to question, he had a very nod COn - n ect ion ; In fact, he had the honour to dress the heads of Bankers, Army Agents, and even Members of Parliament, in his own Im. mediate neighbourhood. The profits of his calling were consi derable, and haying everything tolerably comfortable about him except a wife, m.tters would go on smoothly enough, and he might sail steadily and happily along the stream of life, but for the extra. ordinary behaviour of the defendant, who was his pest—his tor. mentor—his evil genius. He could not stir out without being attacked in the street by him, and stalled all sorts of ungenteel flair and if he remained at home the defendant would raise • riot about his door, and proclaim him to the people, whom his violence and noise had collected together, as everything that was bad I moreover, he had threatened to stab him, and had, over and over again, said he would " rip his guts open, and hang them about his head !" . . ---• •••- --- • Sir It. BIRVIE—WeII, Mr. Hume, how do you account for all this ? - - - • • - Hume, who had stood listening most impatiently to the state ment of the complainant, and alto seemed almost bursting with anxiety to speak, now began • long harangue. " Your Worship," said h., " It is stony surprising to me how this man can have the ibreison W sow here to make such a charge against me. Why, lie, he hae robbed me of my wife, Sir. She is always with him_ she Sams him about everywhere. I can't keep her from him; my hese Is neglected—my comfort is destroyed ; and can It be wondered at that I sometimes get into a passion. But what makes the waiter still worse, Sir, is, that he beats her ; fond m she is of him, Sir, he beats her shamefully, and yet the devil must be in the woman, I think—she will run after him. It was but the other day that he knocked her down and cut her eye, the mark of which cut she will carry with her to the grave. lam pestered to death, Sir, and almost driven out of my mind by her and this man. I hare offered to make her home comfortable if she would give him up, or to allow her a maintenance if she chose to keep away from me; but she wilt do neither. She goes after him when she chooses, and then comes back and annoys me." Sir R. BIRXIZ.—Are you quite awe that you have good ground for suspecting your wife's infidelity—may you not be mistaken ? Hume.—Oh, no, Sir; I have too good reason to know that they' have been criminal together. Sir R. Blintz (pointing to the defendant, and then to the corn. plainant).—Why, looking on " this picture and on this," I should pronoonce it impossible. Are you quite certain that she prefer. him to you ? Hume.—l have no doubt of it. Sir R. BIRNIE.—WeII, I should have thought it could not be; but, ie casabas eat est dieprtandret. However. Ido not think, Mr. Mason, that you have any personal harm to fear. Mason.—Yes, I have, indeed. your Worship, for he carries a tremendous weapon about him, which he swears shall be the death of me. I will describe it to you, Sir, and then judge for yourself. It is twelve inches long, and one end consist, of lead of at least two pounds weight, and the other of a blade both long and sharp. Bless your soul, your Worship, it would let out a man's infernal (we presume Mr. Mason meant internal) parts in no time; be carries it up his sleeve. Hume laughed heartily at the description of the weapon, and said that it had no existence but iu the fearful imagination of Mr. Mmon. Sir It. Mintz observed, that in the first place, he thought Hume was foolish to give himself so much trouble about his wife, who, according to his showing, was really not worth a moment's thought ; and on the other hand, he could not think, under the circums.ances, of holding hint to bail. He considered the alleged threats as mere empty words. The warrant was then discharged, to the chagrin of Mr. Mason. CORONER'S INQUEST. - _ Diowxtxo, Re--An Inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Moos, Coroner for Westminster, at the Red Lion, Crown-court, Pall-mall, on the body of Oeorge Silvester. James Dimoline, 0(34, Villiers-street, Strand, deposed—Yester day afternoon, about three o'clock, I was walking in the Mall in St. James's Park, and was informed by some boys that the deceased was In the water. I undressed, and dived in, and succeeded in getting him out. Many people assembled, a blanket was procnred, and the deceased was carried to the sutding-house, St. James's Palace. It was church time, and the house was closed. The land lord was told what had taken place, and, that though animation was suspended, yet if means were used, the deceased might be motored. The landlord replied—"that his was not a public-house, and he would not receive the body, and we might do our best and our worst." The crowd told him the object we had in view was, to save the life of the deceased ; but he laughed at us. Time was lost arguing with him, and we finally took the deceased to this house. __Mr. John Marshall, of 33, Jermyn-street, said, he was called to see the deceased, and used means for three quarter, of an hour to recover him • and he might have been restored had not so mucb time have been previously lost by leis being carried from one public house to another. The body had been out of the water half an hour before witness was called in. The Jury after some observations upon the conduct of the keeper of the Suttling.house, returned a verdiet—" Accidentally Drowned," and requested the Coroner to write to the Board of Breen Cloth, by whom the Sutding-house is licensed, to inform the Board of the conduct of the keeper of the house, and of their reprobation Af it. The Coroner said, that as every minute was of the greatest con_ sequence, at such a time, be thought the landlord was very blamable in refusing to admit the body into his house, and promised to com ply with the wishes of the Jury. Crib and Spring, the two great heroes of the pugilistic world, have been on a tour in Scotland. where they have reaped a profitable harvest by the display of their accom plishments. They were at Newcastle on the nights of Fri day and Saturday last, and exhibited each night ■t the theatre, and were, on both occasions, honoured with very crowded audiences. They passed through this city on Sunday morning, on their way to Doncaster Races. they travelled by the Highflyer, and when the coach stopped to change horses, it was surrounded by a lar; e concourse of people, who assembled to get a peep at the two chain pions.—Durham Chronicle. Thursday afternoon, while the New Times Coach was approaching Nfauchline, on the way to Glasgow, while tak ing a sharp turn, the pole broke ; the coach was in comic , quence overturned, and the driver got his leg broken, and two gentlemen belonging to Kilmarnock, who were outside passengers, were also hum—Glasgow Journal. Fiar.—A Glasgow Paper of Thursday says—Early this morning an alarming fire broke out in one of the drying houses of the Datmuir paper-works, which with its con tents was totally consumed. Other houses connected with it had nearly shared the same fate, but by the prompt ex ertions of the workmen, the fire was confined to the build ing where it originated!! MARKETS.
