Better tier. a have, however, succeeded. and t'atholics have written their own '.'story in a reannor to convince the people of England, that they have always been faithful to their king and country, under cieennistances the most trying to their allegiance. The spirit of the age has been greatly improved by the new light thrown upon OW annals ; and teeth , justice has been rendered to a Norfolk and • it:min/them, l' the reinstatement of the furrier, in the tact? et Heel Marshal of and the nstoration of the latter to the baronial r. ehts of Stelrorti.

Forturiately, hewever, fur us, we have been devilled worthy of emancipation on far more liberal teruts. The meat eminent Statesmen here been, and are our advocates. A Burke, a Fox, a Sheridan, a .t and last, though tot least, a It-rattan, now numbered aniongst the illustrious deal, have all proved, with irresistible eltequenee, the impoltcy of religious intoler ance, and the neressity of inventing the Enieliv with all its re sources. A WIIMTW the living luminaries of the Senate, besides the distinguished Members of Opposition, we may reckon as our friends those enliebtened :Ministers, Mr. Canning and Jlr. !fut. kisson, under whose sueriees our cause is likely to gain ground even in the cabinet. His present Majesty's good will towards his Catholic subjects is well known ; and, if he were to consult the be- ' nevolent feelines of his own been, I have no doubt that all penal laws seainst us v-osikt be instantly aboliehed. The Duke of York, the heir preirumntive of the British throne, has lately evinced some approeinietion to Catholic principles, by forbidding the promise:it vus distribution of the Bibles among the soldiery. This is a good sign; inasmuch as that 111u:trims le.dividual has been supposed to be one eifattr most inveterate enemies. Hence, then, the prospects i e have belore us arc truly cheering ; and the prejudices which ex t.: with a part of the British t'ahinet will gradually wear away. Catholics and Protestants will heeonie brethren in civil rights, how ever much they may ditevr in religious opinions; and, even in theme meatus, much good might be deriral fr.nn the project of an union between the Churehee of Rome mid Englaad. communicated iodic Clic:cellar of the Exchequee by that Learned Cathodic Prelate, Doctor /Nark.

INSOLVE4VT DEBTORS COURT, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 10. John Deacon came up to be Wird on his petition to be discharged. and was not opposed by any creditor ; but it appeared that he had been discharged under the Act hit year, and had since become bail for the appearance of a person, who, at the Sessions of • • •, had been apprehended, amengat a number of others, at a gaming table, in coaltquerice of which the insolvent's reongnininces were ordard to be estreated„ which, however, on application to the Court, wa. reve7seti. The insolvent's costs in the case amounted to upwards of twenty pounds, for which he was arrested by his at. tomey. Mr. HEAT it. on behalf of the insolvent, submitted that he had not become security for the payment of another person's debt, but for his appearance ; and his baring become liable to the payment of CASUI on that acceunt, might be coasidercd a misfortune which would enable the Court to grant him the benefit of the Act, with. out the consent of three-fourths of his creditors, as it never could be the Intention of the Legislature, that for such an act of confidence to another. he should remain in prison fur five years. The Cotter said, etey could not agree to the Learned Gentle. man's suggestion. The wonls of the Act were, that the insolvency should arise from unavoidable misfortune, to enable the Court to dischat - ge an insolvent a sccund time within five years, without the consent of three.fourths of his creditors; and certainly that was not thc.lr" lll P u n . . _ :fohn Paslwiek was a shopkeeper in a small way, in the parish of St. Luke's, and sold his stock for Stii. the day before he was ar sated, immediately after which he employed an attorney to take the benefft of the Act. He accounted for the expenditure of the money, part of which he paid into the Court fcr the benefit of his creditors. The Coe RT said, it was clear that the insolvent had disposed of his property with the intention of taking the benefit of the Act ; and the Court could never sanction a proceeding that took the admi nistration of an insolvent's property out of the power of the Court. The insolvent should be dealt with as leniently as possible, which was to remand him for four menthe. 1Vi1151113 lknjamin Velltoll wanopposttil by Mr. N DEDGAIT, OD behalf of Mean.

The poor roman was osotincted to the office in a fainting and helpless en:Anion, from the effects of the dangerouns wound she had rect!vesl on the head ; and related, as well as her weak state would permit, the barbarous cooduet of her husband since he had deprived her of her little property, and she had retinal to leave his house without some provision being made for her future main. tenancy. The cap, and some articles of dress she wore on the even. leg in question were productd, nearly satnrated with coagulated bl lid. On the cap were the evident marks of the knife the prisoner had used when he Inflicted the wound which had so nearly proved rand to the life of the unfortunate woman. The l.oitu MATOII said, it was a great question in his mind, whether he Ought nor to commit the prisoner to Norgate, for ma. liciously stabbing with intent to murder his wife. It was certainly one of the most atrocious and wicked assaults he had ever had come before him ; and although he, in listening to the arguments of his (the misoner's Solicitor) had determined on rainy:oils:rig the capital charge, he should take care that excellent bail were taken for his appearance at the Sessions. The defendant was then taken back to prison, he having no friends who would undertake for his surrendering to take his tnaL BtlW-STREET. stones-sr ram No.—Saturday W. Thatcher, late a laboture in the employ of a market-gardener, near Kensington, was brought before T. HALLS, Pat on suspicion of haring stolen three horses, the property of Mr. is atts. a builder at Kensington; Mr. Gibbon, of the Moscow Arms, aloacow-place ; and another person un known. The two horses belonging to Messrs. Watts and Gibbon were stolen from a field at Westbourne Green, on the night of the 19th of :sopternber last; and some days afterwards Mr. Bevan, a 1 1 hew-dealer, saw the prisoner riding Mr. Watts's hose at Alping don Fair. Not being aware that it had been stolen, hovers:, he did not ea, anything to the man, but mentioned the circumstance to Mr. 11 acts when he returned. Search was then made after the prisoner, but without success, until Friday morning, when he made his appearance at Kensington with a fire colt. which he was diming publicly for side, at less than half its valve. This was communicated to Hall the constable, and he was taken into custody. Mr. Butler (chief clerk to Mr. Banner), attended on his beha lf, and advised hits to say nothing in the present stage of the bust now ; which advice he followed, and he was committed for further examination on Friday neat, in order that 11r. Bevan and other witnesses might attend. George Etheard Hole; was put to the bar, charged with robbing his employer. Mr. J. Pitman, jeweller, of No. 377, Strand, of goods and money to a considerable amount. The prisoner was in the set. vice of the prosecutor, and the greatest confidence was reposed in him until lately, when the prosecutor discovered the system the prisoner was . carrying on. There wzre severe' distinct charges of fraud against him, but Mr. Pitman confined himself to two, in support of which he adduced evidence sufficient to warrant the commitment of the prisoner. Three notorious ahem-ter', named Chorka Jews, Alfred God win, and Gs urge noises, were charged with picking the pocket of a gentleman (who did not appear), or. Friday night, near St. Clot meat's Church. Davis end Reed, the officers, watched the pri soners for sonic time until they made the attempt, but the ger.de man declined procee ding against them. Mr. HALLS said, he should take care that they should not have an opportunity of following their calling for some time ; and unless they could give a better, account titan the one they now attempted, be should coart:t them, which was Accordingly dune. HATTON-GARDEN. Saturday a young gentleman dressed in the elite of fashion, was brought before Mr. Lama, by one of the officers of Clerkeowell parish, charged with abandoning a female by whom he had four children, who consequently became chargeable to the parish. The facts of the case were peculiarly aggravated. The prisoner, at one period, moving in a high walk of life, contrived to win the affLe thins of a young lady of family, whose dishonour he finally accom plished, under a promise of marriage. For five or six years they lived together on terms of onijogal equality, during which time he became the father of four children. A too free indulgence in ex pensive pleasures speedily sapped the foundation of a good pro perty ; and as his resources became nerrower, he thought it a ',wee of prudence to narrow his expenditure also, by casting Cie wretched victim of seduction and her helpless infants on the public bounty. They sought and obtained relict; but the parish took the necessary steps to indemnify their loam, by compelling the father to perform his duty. . . - . . The 'Magistrate (Mr. LAI xo). through an overweening sympa thy for & gentleman's feelings. shut out the Reporter during this investimation, tearing that names might be given. An arrangementwas made with the parish, and the heartless seducer was discharged on entering into his own recognizar,ces. DAIIMO 110 ACE n.--John l'erneon, a very smart young fellow, was brought up at this office on Saturday, in custody of Wadding ton and Derry, two of the Dos-street patrol, under the following charge t It appeared, that between the hours of twelve and one o'clock on Saturday morning, as a gentlemmt named Dore, who is connected with the London (East) (las Ligio Company, was going round to inspect the lamps in the Gosweill-street-rosd district, he observed a coming close behind him ; Mr. Dore quickened his pace, Ef.7 the fellow closed with 11,in at a place called the dead - sail, and making a sodden rash, threw Mr. Dore completely od his equi librium, and before he hail time sufficiently to recover himself, his assailant made a grasp at his watch chain, which, however, being protected by a strong steel guard, he missed the watch, though the chain broke in the centre. The robber immediately made otr ' Mr. I)tire calling out " stop thief ;" but owing to the darkness of the night he got clear away. Information of the circumstance being V I ;;;;; to 11'addington. with a description of the person, he aim (another patrol) succeeded in apprehending tha prisoner, whom Mr. Dore immediately identified, and the broken chain, with the scat attached, he let drop at his feet on a Mon. In consequence of the nomapisnusace of Mill: who was unable to attend, Mr. Lai so remanded the prisoner until Monday. Waddington stated, that this is the third attempt made to rob Mr. Dote, whose duty it is to go round a certain district at stated hours of the night to see that the lamps are in order; and that gentleman has little hesitation in saving. that the prisoner, Vernom, was always of the party; in the latter instance, ho appe-ared to have no associates whatever. --....- Vernont, is said to be • well-known character, havin3 lately suffered three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction for • felony of which he was convicted at the Old Balky Sessions. EITILAORDINAIIY APPLICATION.—Just u the office was aboutio close, an elderly female, of rather respectable exterior, tnade her appearance in the outer room, and after casting an ir.- guiring glance wound her, she was precipitately about to retire, .when one of the officers in attendance, demaaded her business. " My business," said the lady, " is not a ith you—you arc not the Justice ?" The officer did not assume that slistinction, but still contended, that if the lady had any communication (of a public nature) to make to the Alegistrate, it was his duty, as o ffi cer of the day, to usher her to the presence. " No," said the lady, "my business is of too important , a nature to admit of delay . I must see the Magistrate in person L' ridding to this pressing solicitation, the officer was in the act of introducing this Impact= communi cant, when another officer, who just entered the apartment, cried, "Stop—where are you taking that woman? She has seen the magistrates often enough." The fair lady did not seem much to relish the interruption, but she was forced to submit, and the second officer by a few Interrogatories drew forth the fallowing ex naortlinary communication. " I wanted," said the applicant, "to ask the magistrates' interference for me in a case of great moment. There is a conspiracy formed against my life, and the conspirators are my husband (every lady knows who he is). Napoleon Bonaparte, the Devil himself, King Solomon, and our Saviour, and the whole batch are drinking now at • public.bouse in Leather-lane." After such c declaration, the officer, who was for taking in the lady, politely told her it was a case in which the !Magistrates had no power to irAerfere. "No power," echoed the poor maniac. " None whatever," rejoined the officer. " Then," continued she, " I will go to Sir Richard Rita:, for be has law enough for ten devils, and power enough for ten Bonaparte, and he'll protect me." It scents the poor weinan is most re. spectably connected, but haring !oat her reason in conseguence of a bruin fever, she now wanders about in this manner, but is perfectly M A RLBOROUG H-STREET. Faun-day C. O'Kelly charged George Wolkrs, a very lusty, Irishman, with having attempted to drown her: The complainant stated, that on Thursday last, while she was standing on lwr stairs in a quiet, meditative mood, and little dream. log of water or pails, the prisoner came out of his room and threw a pail of water on her head, which almost " sufticated" her. While the enter was trickling down her nose, and almost blinding her her eyes, he, not content with what had been done, called her all the `• aprobtts" names which the dirty fellow could lay his Irish tongue to. Being called nu for his defence, the prisoner commenced as fol. lows Beg yardon, your Worship ; this here woman is eominu. ally coining to my door, and listens to what paws between my wile and me—that is, I mean, your IVorship, she listens to what I says to my wife. Anti, as I don't like that any one should know as what my wife and 1 says together, and tlere's no reason for't, 1 told her as how if she ever canted near the door again, I would cool her curiosity, and that I would. On Thursday night she came as usual., and so I did war a pail of water on her bead ; but it did no damage, your ‘Vorship, and I would do the like again if so be she came to the place to.morrow." Mr. DTER not thinking that pails of water ought to be applied in so summary a manner, ordered the Weletr•lnail t. dal: bail, ankh , he did, at..l was immediately discharged. Between the hours of two and four o'clock yesterday morning, a daring burglary was committed on the premises of ferle's coffee-house, Carey -street, Chancery-lane. The thieves effected an entrance through the area grating, and packing up a considerable quantity of plate, and got clear off v ith that, and a gilt metal watch, with a chased ggeelMd key, seal, and ring. It is supposed that the rob bers✓ must have been committed by same person acquainted wit the premises.
