I , - SLATES BROUGHT TO ENGLAND. Some meagre details having appeared in some of the üblic prints respecting the late occurrence ■t St. Ives, „me have made it our business to inquire into die circum aunn of the transaction, and the following is the result of our inquiries, obtained from the most authentic quart, r. About the 9th of last month a French vessel, called the 4 0 erle, belonging to St. Makes, under the command of one Julien Legue, arrived at the port of St. Ives, in C wnwall, on her return from St. John's River, on the coast of Atrica, with a crew consisting only of twelve men ; the Captain, Supercargo, and eight others, having, sec riling to the representations of Legue,dhil in the course of the voyage. The vessel was boarded, and subsequently seized by Li. tit. Rye, of the Coast Guard service. She was found well lined out with all the ordinary furniture of a slave trader, and the hold adapted in the usual way to the re vertion of slaves. Among her other stores, there were or eourae found manacles and shackles in great abundance; a long chain to confine the unfortunate creatures in gangs, with all the usual implements of Negro torture, that would :iet h^ niideratood by their names, we are happy to say, by tom of our English readers. Among other things were casks of palm oil, used for the purpose of giving the black skin an artificial gloss, which, when natural, is indicative of health and strength. 'We wish that the melancholy detail could stop here; but we lament to say that five poor creatures were found out board, whom circumstances too clearly prove to have con stituted a part of the wretched cargo. One of them is a )oung boy. These Tutor creatures were confined in the main hold, baying only sails to lie upon, and a few pieces of coarse can vass to protect their bodies from the inclemency of the wes t tier. Their brutal owners represented them, of course, as pert of their crew; but as they understand neither French nor English, nor any other European language, and appear besides to be entirely ignorant even of the commonest nau tical proceedings, it does not require other evidence to show abe falsity of this representation. But, alas ! they do ap pear to be tuo well acquainted with all the uses of the in famous slave tackle on board, and too much habituated to the horrible treatment to which so many of their fel low-countrymen are subjected, fur any doubts to remain of the character in which they were confined on board this vessel. We have before us an affidavit of the fact, that while the crew regaled on boiled beef and fish, these poor negroes were treated with the pot-liquor and entrails ! Food so nauseous that even their hungry stomachs rt;ected it with disgust. But we will not harrow up the feelings of Englishmen by more minute details of the ethooities these negroes have endured. One circumstance, ',prelim's we must not omit. Shortly after the ship's ar rive), a hemane gentleman brought on shore the lad that we have mentioned. The pour fellow was much caressed, and his savage owner became apprehensive, we suppose, of losing him. The gentleman who had brought him aeon shore had pledged his word to return him, igno rant of the negro's acquired rights when once within she jurisdiction of our Courts of Law. Still, however, he felt most reluctant to return the unhappy boy to the custody of his master. It was then impudently asserted (and we blush to say that the argument was adopted by an Englishman, and supported, we fear, by another, if the. French Consul at St. Ives is one), that this boy as much belonged to the Frenchman as the watch in tail pocket, and that the gentleman had as much right to take the one as the other! The boy was restored ; and the savage Captain stated, that on sale the lad would pro slave VW. We lament that we have not been furnished With the names of these two inlubitants of St. Ives. We bare, however, mentioned the office of one of them • the otter is a medical attendant of the mate of the French vessel, who is at present sick onshore. We turn with pleasure to the other facts which have been communicated to us:—lmmediately on the ship's Attila' Mr. Ilingatone, a gentleman of distinguished hu manity at St. I ves, and who has on this occasion exhibited not lees firmness than humanity, wrote to Mr. Wilbetforce, rintioning some of the facts that we have stated. Mr. Ti;berforce instructed Mr. George Stephen, his solicitor, to' Like the necessary proceedings for restoring the poor alma to freedom, and an application was immediately made to the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who did riot hesitate for a moment to grant a habras corpus, even on the necessarily realm information then obtained, and iir3iilrited much humane anxiety for the enlargement and eonifertable disposition of the unfortuoate creatures. The writ was immediately despatched and served; the slaves; of conise, have been brought on shore, but have not yet IttoYeel in town, in consequence of the illness of one of the party, occasioned by the severity of the weather. 'file reception of them by all classes has been, if we may ;tap the expression, enthusiastically compamionate. Many the lower orders have thrust into their hands little pre-' . rents of fond or amusement ; and it has been with diffi culty that they have been restrained front the exercise of toci_greaCkittilness in these respects. The coach proprietor at Truro, the master of a respectable hotel there, whose coat:h hail been engaged for their conveyance to town, s.'utyafully submitted to the loss occasioned by a counter mand of their places on the very moment of departure, the severe frost rendering the journey hazardous. In short, Tone and all, with the exceptions we have mentioned, have aown an interest and feeling for these unfortunate beings, abet, we are sine, accord with those of all classes, whose sensibility on such matters has not been destroyed by the ~tiistepresentations of interested planters or their agents in tjtis country. Their arrival is expected in about a week.— Again: Paper. INHUMANITY OF A WORKROUSE-SEEPER. Or Thursday last a vestry meeting wu specially convened rt Cambridge to take into consideration the conduct ut John Allum, die' keeper of the workhouse in the pariah of the Holy Trinity. The meeting was numerously attended; and it appeared that a poor diminutive youth, of the name of Robert' ilk, about twenty-five yeah of age. hail been in the house some years ; he was dumb and 'an idiot ; indeed a more dienswing object had never excited the aymnathies of the humane. The iharge against Altum was, that Ire had during the orverity of this lesson, and for a long time pre 'ions, confined this poor creature In an out-house without any tire, permed up in one corner, there placed upon a board without shoes Or stockings, and with his arms bare, and only a petticoat on and some coarse covering for the upper pert of his body ; there he was oecsistonned to remain till night, trampling in his filth, when he . sees rot into a crib or manger, with a small portion of short straw. 'There was no chair or stool in the hovel for this unfortunate victim of severity to rest upon. The cruelty thus practised reached the Mari of Mr Alderman Coe, t Magistrate, who went to the work bouise, and saw the young man is the situation above described_ ; lie insuctUy ordered him to be removed into the house, there to be crothed with shoes and sackings, and placed near the fire, and Ittireiwi , e properly taken CM ot. Two der )5 afterwards the worthy 4 Segotta e rolled again to see the youth, when, to his utter astonish. knent,,he. found uo attention had beep paid to his directions by the Ihnniage muter; but the unfortunate creature was still standlrfk span the board, penned in the same corner, and apparently in extreme pain ; still without shoes or stockings , and the very water Med dirt he st ood in gurhing up between his toes. Mr. Fermi', the tuyrgeon, who in this visit accompanied the worthy Alderman. in ataptly ordered him to be removed into the house ; he examined lua.feet and trim and espoused tame apprehension lest mortifies should ensue, art' gave e directions for the to be put in a warm , bs 'titer other precautionary measures had been taken. A vestry ' og was held a few days after this happened to transact the eft eery lousiness of the parish. when Mr. Alderman Coe attended, inf,iir:led the palish of what had occurred. Allum was In.

MEELYU. 011ANAM AND WE!* Mr ABRAHAM opened the pleadings, and 3lr. EVANS stated the WC to the Jury. The defendant Gra ham was the celebrated aeronaut ; the ...her defendant soma person connected with him in his serial speculatums. In the course of the last summer it had been found, on one occasion, when contemplat ing an ascent, that the balloon was in a very bad condition, Wile titer from the necessary accidents of flood and tiad, or from the natural consequences of wear and tear, did not appear; but so It was, no ascent could take place without very considerable repairs, and the plaintiff had been employed to effect them, and for the ex penses he thus incurred, anal for remuneration for his work and labour, he brought the present action. Mr. Annsnam baying called the first witness Tor the plaintiff— The Loon Cxrea JusTtce submitted to the Counsel, whe ther this cause could not be better settled out of Court, which sug gestion was acceded te, anal a verdict taken for the plaintiff with the damages laid in the declaration, subject to the opinion of the arbitrator. WOODROW V. JONES. The only other case of any public interest which came be fore the Court was this :—Mr. Williams, proprietor of the Surrey Theatre, and a prisoner for debt within the rules of the King's Bench, was indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 6041. which he sought to recover by the present action from Mr. Jones, the Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, for suffering an escape. It appeared that Mr. Williams had acted as Vice-President at a dinner given in a room connected with the Grapes public-house ; and it was contended on the part of the plaintiff; that this room was without the rules of the King's Bench, inasmuch as public houses, though situated within the rules, were, by regulations of the Court of King's Bench, made in the years 1790 and 1795, excepted from being within the rules, as it was thought that such places afforded to unprincipled debtors too great facilities to spend the money of their creditors in drinking and gambling; the room in question had been bulk long after the establishment of the Grapes public-house. It was a detached building, in which persons were supplied with wine and spirits from the Grapes. It appeared in the course of the trial that seve ral Coroners' Inquests had been held in this room, and that the jurymen on those trials were debtors within the rules of the King's Bench ; under these circumstances, the Lord Chief Justice thought it was a subject for • special jury to ascertain whether this room came within the exceptions of the regulations of the Court of King's Bench, and the plaintiff, in conscqbence, took a verdict for 7W as a security for the original debt, subject to the decision if a future jary On the reserved point." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, MorrnAT, JAN. 9. These Sessions connuenced this mornitii, before F. Come, Esq. at sad e Bench of Magistrates, Hicks's all. Clukaturallsetreen. Tee traverse paper is by no means so fu I es on the last occasion, nor is there so great a ameba of !weenies foe trial as at the pre. vMus tiessions. John H alker wu put to the bar on an indictment charging him with a most gross and wanton assault on the person of Sarah Jones, on the 28th of November lost. The short facts of theme are, the prosecutrix„ a very respectable young female, was passing along the City.rostt, in company with a female friend, about seven o'clock on the evening of the day in question, when the prisoner came up to them, and proceeded to take liberties with them. The prosecutrix remonstrated with him, but he continued to annoy them, until at last he knocked her down. Der friend called for help, and be was taken into custody. The prisoner said he was not sober at the time, and was very sorty if he had done anything wrong. lie expritsed a wksh to make every atonement in his power, and the Jury haring found him Guilts!, he was allowed to speak to the prosecutrix, who, having expressed herself satisfied, the Court passed a mere 'no minal tine upon him. John Gums, a shoemaker in the City, was indicted for assaulting Daniel Ilarlow ‘ a bricklayer, anti his wife, on the 18th of Npv. It appeared that the defendant had a country house near Edmon• ton, from which some of his pigs had strayed and pot impounded. The prosecutor was charged with having been instrumental in pot ting the vagrant grunters into winter quarters, and an assault wu the consequence. The complainant said that his breast was black and blue, and so forth, that he could never take his hand from his breast for the bruises and pectoral medicine, &e. and that he was at death's dour till this very morning. He admitted, however, that be had called the defendant's wife a liar in the presence of her ser vants. The defendant had a stick in his hand when he, waited on . - .......... the prosecutor, but he only punched him with his knuckles doubled inwards. (Laughter.) During the course of the trial the prosecutor. wha was a J.iminu tive odd-looking personage, kept his hand to his breast, and, when lie happened to forget himself, the hand dr p, e l down, to the teat annoyance of his watchful wife, who always reminded him of the pain in his breast. and put up his hand, to the amusement of the Court. This lady had more to say than the Counsel on both sides, and she even outdid the doctor's aperient arid pectoral draughts, by the virtue of her homely drugs, op doubt think ing that— " The soverelgn'st thing on earth " Was her own spruce beer Car an inward bruise," for she gave the poor fellow spruce beer the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning. The dear man was at death's Oar, and took to his bed ; but he took good care to get up by daybreak, not liking the visions of the night. Ile was represented to be up wards of sixty years of age, but he himself said that he was only live or six and forty, and his wife confirmed him in this statement, notwithstanding that his Counsel insisted that he must have for. gotten his age. The defendant denied having assaulted the prosecutor at all. The Jury found hint Guilty of the assault. Fined 101., with liberty to speak to the proseentiw. Mr. Thomas Frederick 11W stood indicted for simulting Thomas 111'Corinick. The prosecutor, who is Printer to the Harmonic Institution, held alt he Argyle Rooms, occupied a house belonging to the defendant, one which net him he had given regular notice to quit. This, he supposed, excited an ill feeling in the breast of Mr. Hill, who, shortly after, called at his house, during his absence, and left such a message about of* quarter'strent, then due, that he, immediately on coming home the same evening, went to the defendant's house and tendered him 51., in part, telling him that the balance, amounting to 1/. odd, he would htiag hint in a few minutes. The defendant said he did not want money, and throw or' down his pocket book..!kin which, he said, there were 2001., call( d the prosecutor a d- d Irishman, asd other opprobrious terms, andichallenged liiin to fight for N.' The prosecutor told him he did not want to take advantage of his warmth, and asked hint to write receipt,a and he would give him the Id. ; the defendant rose as if for the purpose of so doing, but instead, suddenly came up to the prosecutor and poshest him violently out of the bowie, and af terwards struck him a violent blow between the eyes, which caused b,.rh eyes to be discoloured for three weeks afterwards. Cross-examined by LAI r. PRENDERGAST.-14e did not behave insultmgly to the de fendant Did tell him he would inform agaimt him forgiving an unstanmed receipt, but that was not till after the blow was struck. The rent was in arrest two months, but had never been denumdeil before that day. Had not tendered it be fore, as the defendant had destrad him always to wait till be called fur it. The prosecutor's wife said, that when the defendant called that afternoon, and found her huaband wes not at hone, be began abus ing him. calling him a d---d Irishman—a rascal—a scoundrel, and other epithets or the same east. On going away; he said he did not want money, ns he had got 2001. in his nockt t.book, but that he was determined to send a broker into the house on that very evening. Mr. PRZYDEROAST.--Are you a native of Ireland ? Witness--I am not. Mr. tuns (who was Counsel for the prosecution)—But you have had the good bate to many an Irkimats. The observation excited much laughter. which was further in-; creased on the witness replying, as she did, in a than, but modest tune, " I live had no reason to regret my choice." 'l'wo other witnesses were examined. wl)o eorrohorated the corn. plainant as to the assault. One or these was a friend oldie de. tendnnt. The Jury found him Gnarly. Sentenced to lay a tine of 101. with liberty to speak to the prose.' tutor. I MON ;,~=~- THE BRITISH PRESS. POLICE• GUILDII A Lb. David Dean. the compositor who was charged last week with Laving stolen a large quantity of type front the prentiaes of a former employer, Mr. Pore. printer, St. John's.square, was brought up hir re.examination yesterday, before Mr. Alderman Birth. The minutes of the evidence already given having been read, from which it appeared that there was nei'her proof of the taking nor possession by the prisoner, except ris far as his claiming pay. mart for the metal at a stereo:ype printer's in the Old Milky went, Mr. Alderman Banco impure(' if the porter who was sent with the metal by the prisoner hid yet been discovered ? The constable replied in the negative. The porter said he lived in Bishop's-emir', in the Old Bailey, but only one person of that dearripti,m could be found there, and be was not the man they wanted. Mr. Ald. Buten asked the prosecutor whether he was able to swear to the identity of the type? Mr. Dove replied he was enabled to do so by their bring together in the salute of pages of books, such as Zon is Italian Grammar, which had not been printed in any other house fur a number of years. Mr. !In MPH o aim Solicitor for the prisoner—How long i s it since die plisoner left your service?-91r. Dove, perhaps three or four months. Mr. 11c Pllnz vs—And how long have you been missing your types? Mr. Dove—Three or four years. Mr. Ileitiona•vs—What time did the prisoner remain with you ? Mr. Dove—About six weeks. When he was burnt out, I took him to he a journeyman. from motives of charity. Mr. Ifunolia KA'S here expressed a wish to have the prisoner remanded, and the Alderman was about to assent to this course, when— Mr. Dove said, he felt greatly indebted to the public press, for the notice that lead been taken of the prisoner's first examination had led to Krone iurther diacoveriea respecting his depredations, not only upon himself, but on another inaater-ptinter by whom he had been ensployed. On Saturday evening Mr. Jeffrey, a bookseller, in Middlesex-place, Haekoey-road, called upon hint, and stated that he hal just seen a report in a newspaper of the apprehension of Deers, and he hart come to inform him that he had purchased a quantity, of type of the same man, which he wished him to ex. amine. Mr. Dove accordingly sent one of his workmen with him, who returned with several paces of type, part of " fiibbon's Rise and toll of the Roman Umpire;' and ' history of Eng , land," works printed by Mr. Dove in the course of last year, while the miasma was in his employ. There were also some parts of works ' , rioted by another master printer, who was in attendarce. Mr. Dove them produced mane leaves of the books he had named, sod the pages of letter-press that had been brought front the Hack. ney.road and pointed out that they corresponded line for line and letter for letter. The type itself was peculiar, being Mt by Carlon expressly for him, with a remarkably thin body, so as to get a 'pester number of kora into a line. In answer to a question from the Alderman, he said he had never sold any of the type; and to questions from the prisoner and his Solicitor, he stated, that although Zoe prisoner might not have been employed on the works he bad named, he had the same access to the type as if he had ; that Mr. Easton supplied type to most of the muter printer' in town as well as himself, and might have fur nished them with some of the same description with that in gum tiro ; and that lie could not say whether the pages now in Court were or were not on his premises after the prisoner left him. Mr. Jeffrey was then examined—He said, he was a printer and bookseller, living at No. 45, Hackney.road. About a month ago, the prisoner called and stated that he had heard from a young mart, whom he named, that Mr. Jefrey was purchasing type to furnish a printing-office, and he had come to otter him a quantity he had for sale, which he had bought under an execution same time ago, when he had himself entertained an idea of going into business. Having some knowledge of Dean. four years ago, when he worked at the Minerva Printing-office, Leadenhall.striet, and having heard from others that he had been in business for himself; he had no suspicion that the prisours• had come improperly by the type, and, without inquiry, made a bargain with him, al lowing Is. a pound for the aim called brevier, 7d. for the long primer, and fad. for the pica. Ile paid him about nine guineas for 2R) pounds, and produced reeler stamped receipts, signed by the prisoner, one for 51. ter brevier, he. and another 21.75. fol. fur lung printer. 111 r. Jaffrey then identified the pages of type in Court as bating been so pumbased of the prisoner, and John Bridgman and Thomas Barret, two compositors, who had been employed on " Hume's History" and the " Rise and Fall," also identthed them as Mr. Dove's property. Mr. M'Dowall, a master printer in Pemberton.row, Clough. square; was next atom. He stated that the prisoner was in his employ throe or four months, anti went assay in his debt about the latter end of November. He had observed, shortly before the pri. saner left bim, that a fount of brevier became unaccountably short, and one day three whole pages of a work disappearW. Two par tials of the letter-press brought from the HIK-tney-road he could positively swear to as part of a work the prisoner had been employed in composing : He also identified some of the type found in a con fused mass—roe a state of pie, as he termed it. This' was the whole of the evidence. and the prisoner being called on foe his defence, said that however stroog the cape oughts seers him, he aboalsis-if the Alderman wbold remand e him, be irereafter to make a statement that would have some wei7t. He had been quite taken by surprise with the evidence of Mr. Jeffrey and blr. M'Dowall. Sir. Smith, Mr. Dove's solicitor, offering no opposition to this coarse, the prisoner was remanded accordingly. BOW-STREET. Yesterday • boy of shabby appearance, about fifteen years of age, named William Bally, was brought before Sir Richard Bitnie, from St. Clement's watchhouse, where he had been given in charge by lilt. Frederick Albert Winsor, of No. 4, Upper Stamford-street Blackman , for assaulting hi ttt t antendeavouring by menaces a nd threats to extort money from him. Ale Winsor, who was attended by his Solicitor and several re spectable gentlemen, his friend*, demised that he belonged to the Gag 'Light and Coke Company (he did not state which), and . lived at No. 4, Upper Stamford-street. On Saturday night, about a quarter Delete twelve o'clock, he was on his way home from the ' Strand, and had got part of the way down Wellington-street, lead big to Waterloo-bridge, when he recollected that he wished to con. stilt a friend who resided in the Temple Tweeting an alteration in an advertisement which had been left for insertion at the Observer newspaper office. lie turned back, and had reached within a few yards of the Strand when he felt something pressing against him behind, as if an attempt was being made to pick his pocket. He turned round and saw the prisoner close to his heels, and asked him what he wanted. " Don't you know me ?" said the prisoner; to trhich the witness replied in the negative, and the prisoner fluid— "Oh ! you don't know me, don't you ? Lou . won't know me, I suppose, but I know you." The witness walked on along the Strand, the prisoner atillclosely following him until he came to Nor folk-street, down which he turned from the Stood, intending to make his way through the courts to the Temple. Still the prisoner was close after him; and when he got into one of the courts leading to Essex-street, he turned about, and asked the prisoner why he followed him ? and said if he did Rot instantly go about his busi ness he would give him in charge to the watch. "Oh 1" said the prisoner, `• if yuu come to that. I shall give you in charge the what you have done to me, unless you give me something." The wit ness felt dreadfully agitated at the insinuation thus conveyed ; lie had a large sum of money about him; he saw no watchman near, and he scarcely knew what to do. It wonted to him at that mo ment that it was likely to be tots late to have the alteration made in the advertisement, and if so it would be useless to consult his friend, and he therefore determined to go to the Observer office, thinking he could there obtain the information he wanted, and per haps get rid of the prisoner at the same time. He went again back to the Strand, anti found the Observer office with some little difli celty, not being aware of the alteration by which that and the Morning C'/trouble office were run into one. He entered the office, leaving the prisoner, who had still pertinaciously followetl him, standing at the door. He inquired, learned that he was too late for the alteration, and came out, and' finding the prisoner still there, I he gave him in charge, and caused him to be taken to the watch- 1 house. The witness had sever in his life seen the prisoner until that night. He produced a copy of the advertisement of which he had spoken. The prisoner being asked by Sit R. BIaNtE what he had to offer in artswerts the charge, said he had been to the Adelpht Theatre on Saturday night, and on his return along the Strand, on his way home, he was accosted by the prosecutor, who took him down one of the weal leading to the Thames, and asked him if he would go over ‘4'aterloo or Blackfriane-bridge with lam, lle replied that he did not want to go over either, as he was going home; and the prosecutor then said, that if he would accompany him he would give him plenty of money, and proceeded to use ' language which he should be ashamed to repeat. Sir R. BIRNIF. said he was unwilling to have his own ears or those of others shocked by the repetition of filthy expressions, but in a ease of this kind it was necessary to be minute and particular in every part of the inquiry, and he therefore wished to hear from the prisoner the precise words which he imputed to the prose- I coot. _ . The prisoner then repeated some expressions of a revolting kind, and proceeded to describe liberties which he said the prosecutor had taken with his person. The prosecutor, in a strongly indignant tone and manner, said— " I think it necessary only to declare, that all this i■ totally, wickedly false. I move in a highly respectable sphere of life, and here are many friends about me who have known me from my in fancy, and who can bear testimony that my character for moral rectitude, for decency, Ltd strict iropriet►, has always stood above the reach of suspicion: added to this, lam married to a lovely and amiable woman, and am the father of three children." Sir K. Bt totit: said he was bound to believe the statement made on oath by the prosecutor, and the prisoner must go for trial. The watchman. who took the prisoner to the watchhouse, but who had not ben called as a witness, stepped forward and said, that he saw the boy 'Waling by the door of the Observer take, and alien the prosecutor came out he (the prisoner) said. " here, watchman, I give this gentleman in charge:" " And I," said the prosecutor, " give hits in charge also." The winteas said, that as Oat was the case, they had ►etter both go to the watchhouse to gether, and they did hO. Sk Blll.lhir having looked at We watchbouse book, and put a question or two to the constable of the night. said there was one circumstance which struck him as telling very strongly in Mr. favour, namely, that he had entered his right r•ame and address !tithe ehrrge.bocik, and was suffered to go about his busi. ' nem. If he had been ebnaelaus of wrong, nothing could have been more easy than for him to hare entered the name of John Drown,. Thomas Jones, or any other equally common, and thus have escaped a public examination. lie, however, had chosen to come boldly forward to prosecute. The prisoner, it appeared by the evidence, had only demandvd " something :" he had mode no mention of money. a distinct de mand for which the Chief Magistrate seemed to think nmet he made, in cider to sustain an intionlent for assaulting with ' , rent to rob. The proseeuter was to ld, h owever , th a t u spocial count might be introduced into the incictment, c h arging that offence. A number of the Memoirs of Harriette Wil•on, with a culnared frontispiece, was found upon the primmer, which he told Sir R. Ilirnie he picked up in the watehhouse. Sir R. Birnie said he did dot believe him, and iodignintly threw the hook into the fire, observing, that the posses.inn of such a work by the ptisoner was, lie thought, a fact by nn means favourable to him. The father of the prisormr, a poor labourer, who has the care of one at the parish tire engMes of St. Clements, Was present, and said he did not Imps; that hit son had ever been cancerned in any thing of the kind now alleged against him, nor was he at all aware that he had ever got into Lad company. The prisoner was then locked up until he could find sureties. Ile was bailed in the course of the day. II ATTON•O A It DEN. EITE VIIIVE R - Cwt:Z.7Z; Key, a well-dressed young man, was brought up in custody of Lloyd, one of the officers of this establishment, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. E. Keate, watchmaker, of 57, S. John's-street, of property to the value of 601., and upwards. Mr. Keats stated that the prisoner hod been for newly two years in his employ ; within the last few motolut complainant bad missed various articles, and had in consequence applied at this office for a search warrant ; when, on Friday last, the officers, Lloyd and Read, found at the prisoner's lotting. Yo. 18, Charlotte-terrsee, New-cur , Lambeth, a number of wit:eh-cases, which witness knew to be his property. Mr. Win. Llunin, shoproan to Mr. J. Ramsey, pawnbroker.

Ws., the other on the 10th of November, for_t he game sum. . _ James Palmer, apprentice to Mrs. Armstrong, of Baldwin's gardens, pawnbroker, produced four silver watches, and five silver watchcases, pledged at various times, and for various sums. Wm. Sharpe, apprentice to Messrs. Reeve, Red•eross.street, produced too silver watches pledged by the prisoner. Several other pledges were produced, in all iwenty.fire watches; and nine wasch.cases, and several watch.movements found at tho prisoner's lodgings. The prisoner made no defence, and war fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BVROL•RY PREVENTlPl).—Yesterday a very auspicious-look ing fellow, named James Wilson. was brought from Si. James's watchhouse, charged on suspicion of haring attempted to commit a burglary at the house of Mr. Charroneau, pawnbroker, John-street, Goldemsquare. A watchman deposed that, as he was going his rounds at two o'clock yesterday morning, he observed two men standing with their faces towards the shop of Mr. Charraneau, but upon his cry. ing the hour the thieves went away, and he, without taking an notice of them, went up to the shop, turd examined the bar , which he discovered bad been sawed in two. Ile then placed himself in such a position as to have a full view c( the spot, but the burglars did not again make their appearance. Having left his hiding place, in turning the corner he met the prisoner, whom he instantly recognised as one of the persons engapti at the shop on his first approach. He challenged him, and, after a scuffle, succeeded in taking hint into custody. On searching him at the watchhouae, a crow-bar was found on him, and round each of his hands was wrapped a silk handkerchief. The prisoner. in his defence, said that he had on Sunday night met with an acquaintance. a butcher, and be had been spending the evening with him at a public-house in Oxford -street, which he left at twelve o'clock. lie then walked with Ilia friend some distance westward, after which he returned, and was proceeding to his home in Gravel-lane, Borough, when he was taken into custody. Watchman—When I took hint he was going in quite an oppo site direction from the Borough. Mr. fox—flow came the crowbar to be found in your pocket. and 'what were the motives for having a handkerchief wrapped round each of your hands. Prisoner-1 picked up the crow-bar in Oxford-street, as I was coming along ; and a few days since I burnt one of try bands, round which I had tied a handkerchief, and as it was . very eold night, and 1 had no gloves. I tied another one round my other hand. The Magistrate was informed by Plank, the officer,' that it was an invariable rule with burglars, whenever they had to file bars, to wrap a handkerchief round their hands, to prevent the pressure of the file front being seen on their hands if taken. The Magistrate observed that he had no doubt that the prisoner had intended to commit a burglary, and he should therefore re mand him until Thursday next, as most probably something would transpire before that time. UNION-HALL. Yesterday the Magistrates of this office were occupied in hearing caves of affiliation, one of which excited .1% great deal of interest. The defendant, Sadi Ombark Beinby, Professor of Oriental lan guages, and Interpreter to the Persian Ambassador, was brought up by the parish officers of Lambeth, for refusing to pay for the mentenbnce of his illegitionuo child. Tbs. slarbodarn, who we understand is a native of Algiers, was dressed in the Turkish cos tume, with turban, ffic. His complexion is extremely dark, and according to the custom of his country, he has permitted his beard, whiskers, and mustachios, to grow to a prodigious length. It ap peared that he accompanied Lord Exmouth in the capacity of in terpreter during the lase expedition and bombardment of Algirs, and bad also rendered himself extremely useful previously during the campaign in Egypt, for which services he now receivesa pen sion from the. British Government. When the case was called on, Mary Roach, a smart looking young woman, stepped forward, bear. frig In her arms an infant. of which she distinctly swore that Sash Ombark Ilemhy was the father. The defendant, who speaks the English langdage fluently, upon catching the sound of father applied to himself, with peculiar emphasis observed, " I am no father yet ; I am innocent of rite charge ; and I have brought a doctor forward to substantiate what I assert." The Magistrate--Do you mean to say that you have no know. ledge of the woman. Defendant—l admit that she was for a short tine in my service. I took her in out of compassion, assisted her with money, and this is the grateful return that I have met with ! The Magistrate then closely interrogated the young woman, as to the manner in which she became acquainted with Sadi Betay. She stated, that one evening in February last, as she was walking over Westminster.bridge, he followed her, and asked her whether she would accept of a situation, in Algiers, to which she replied in the affirmative. lie then appointed to meet her the following evening at a house near Villiers-street, in the Strand, where he said she should be introduced to the tamily. The moment she made her appearance at Use door Sadi Bemby bounced out, and prevailed upon her to enter the house, where she remained sonic time with him. lie then proposed, Instead of a situation abroad, to take her into his own service; she accordingly went there. She soon found that she was pregnant; but upon this intelligence reaching her master he became excessively irritated, and ultimately discharged bet from his service, without giving her the slightest assistance from thenceforth. In the month of November billowing she was detivered.in tilt workhouse of Lambeth. The child, which was wrapped up in swaddling clothes in its mother's arms, was ex hibite,l to view, and the strong likeness it bore to the defendant was remarked by all present. The defendant still persisted in positively asserting that the girl bad perjured herself; and as an instance of fhe equity and justice. ofthe laws of his own country he said, "If this woman, orany other woman. committed such a crime as she has now been guilty of, across the water, in my country, her punishment would assuredly be to have her tongue cut out of her mouth." In conclusion, he requested that the doctor might be examined ; but all he could say was, that the girl mine to hint some months ago for advice, and that he pronounced her at once to be pregnant. The Magistrates consulted together, and observed that the case. was as clear as most eases of this description generally were; end therefore they should grant the order of affiliation against the defendant; and he was accordingly ordered to pay live shillings weekly to the parish. The defendant, op hearing this order, appeared greatly incensed, and declared that he ennki not afford it. —.—.„ . The Illagistrate asked him how much he paid for his lodgings in the year, when he admitted that 60/. per annum was the aroma GE ill* Met. The defendant. who seemed to have the laws on the subject at his fingerN' ends, expressed his determination of appealing t and accordingly, having beforehand provided himself with hail, two gentlemen stepped forward, and entered into recognizmices for his appearance at the Sessions. SINGULAR CLAIM.—A woma came to this city la s week, and claimed to be the wife of John Jones, a foundry man, oho is married to *bother woman. She gave a most specious account of her being his wife, and persisted most strongly in the claim. The case was heard before the Magistrates; and after a very long and minute investiga tien, her account was totally disproved; hot not before Jones brought several witnesses forward from Kington, in Herefordshire, and other proofs, to substantiate his ac count. The woman stated that her maiden name was Margaret Stone, and that she had children by Jones; but as soon as site knew he bad 'brought his witnesses she ab aconded, and has not since been beard of in this city. She has dark hair, eyes, and complexion.—Woreester Journal. Two burglaries were committed in the neighbourhood of Sunning-hill, Wells, on Saturday night, the one at Lammas Cottage (Mrs. Lanark's), from which the plate left in the butler's pantry, amounting to about 60 ounces, was stolen, together with linen found in the kitchen, and pro visions. The back door from the garden bad been forced. The other attack was made at the house of a gentleman of the name of Toms. The house bad been broken into; but an uneasy dog all'lrmed the inmates, and the firing of a pistol caused the flight of the thieves. Suicine.—Mr. S. Holroyde, formerly a hair-dresser, was found suspended by a rope in his stable yesterday morning, in Colebrook-lane. Ile had retired from bud 'less, but having buried an only daughter he had been in a desponding stare. He was heard to say at Uxbridge on the last market-day, that he had been in this world too long. The deceased was upwards of 60 years of age. Resolution FIVE P' PRICE. OF RAW FAT, per Stone of Sib. Price by Tallow (as stated by the Tallow Alelters), 25 70 PRICE OF CANDLES.

One of them asked him what o'clock it was ; he replied, " I cannot tell, as I have no watch." Upon which they seized him, and snipped him stark naked ; in which state he ran to the above mentioned farm of Bogtoun, the in.. mates of which, at first, thinking that he had broken loose from Bedlam, refused him admittance; but after listening to his piteous tale, they took him in, and acted the part of good Samaritans; and in the morning they atm him home, Joseph-like, in a dress of many colours. We have reason to believe that the young man has sustained rusbodilY in jury, yet we think every exertion should be used to cover and bring to punishment the perpetrators of this outrage on humanity.—Stirling Journal. • Mamas in the Capital of the acid Company, etas/eat is fixed by the said Iteiolution to torsos the 91st Day of January, MG, an is to be paid at the Banking House of Mess . in lit.
