CA DIPSZLL, liicite;;;;gOf . tl;t (7ourt on Tuesday. re glinted that this case might lie over for a few days, until the Coin. awn !tergeant. who was engaged specially at the trial on Circuit. was disengaged from his attendance at die Old Bailey. The (Seiler JUSTICIL replied, that business should proceed in its ordinary course ; and he wan the more unwilling to make any exception to the general rule in the present instance, as he was sure no client world sustain an injury whose interests were entrusted to the gentleman whom he then addressed. The Court ordered the case to come on the following day. Al r. TA V X TON appeared accordingly, to they cause against a rule to spew cause why a new trial should not be granted in this cis.. The trial took place at Gloucester. before Mr. Justice Park, and involved • question as to the validity of the election of the defendant to be a Buren* of that town. At the trial • verdict rAS returned for the Crown. The Conimon Sergeant subsequently i li:flirt(' a rule to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted. 31r. T 1 contended, that the verdict alienist stand on the two viateri.l irises of the case, which was tried on a quo warrant,' in. .einrinoa, to wilco why the Burgesses (one of whom was the de. iedant) elected on the 17th July, should be ousted. The first 'sterna issue of the trial was, whether the right of election, in the nernsign of Monmouth, iv such as that claimed and acted upon in electing the defendant ; and secondly, whether the defendant was elected according to the usual forms. The ancient usage and estrum of the borough, its such cases, established that the Town Connell should in the first instance nominate, and that the Bur- Reales should afterwards elect. There no previous nomination had taken place, and on that ground lie submitted, that the election of the Burgess. without the previous nomination of the Town Inn:nein sustained the validity of the finding of the Jury on the tint material issue of the trial. The seemed point for the con- 1 eideration of the Conn was, whether the defendant was elected according to the usual forms. To act in conformity to the farms required on such an occasion, it was necessary that the Town. 4 s ierk should give In the name of the candidate. and • proclamation be made, that if any Burgess objected, he should conic forward and "how cnuse, which clearly implied that a previous nomination hail taken plate. In this (.154, however. it appeared in evidence, on the trml, that one Burgess nominated the candidate, that another Bur gess seconded the nomination, and the Town-('disk did not at all tinerfere. Besides, the meeting was partial, and held without due notice. The Marne ('Jr. Heath) had been elected but a few seseks before. The defendant was a partisan of his, and m show the r umbers who usually voted on such occasions, he begged to 'taw es the Court, that 45 voted for 111 r. Heath, and 42 against him. the present ease, however, it appeared that only 2b attended, and ot'esinie all, with the exception of two, were of the patty of the de f fwt'ast. Th. se two were, an attorney, wins attended professionally, a^d a bridle, who was also officially present. The rest attended on a special summons and by private invitation. It was Quarter- Isnestons day, and a bell was rung between ten and eleven ; and it was proved at the trial. that it was generally thought, even by the person who rang the bell, that he was ringing it, not for the election of Burgesses, bitt for the Quarter Steen:me. Besides the inning of the bell there was no proof of notice being given, and it was impossible that many could hare received eren this notice, us Site sound of the hell conld not reach them from the distance at which they lived. fin these grounds, he submitted that by the imme t. usage of the borough, and from the want of due notice, the 116 •111)Ulli be t.fUleti. Mr. I '4l menet e, wha apncesed to eupport the application, lie n/netted the absence of the Common Sergeant. There were two material issues at the trial t first, as to the right of election ; and, ittondly, as to the mode of election and want of sufficient notice. The Jury found generally, and the Learned Judge, (Mr. Justice Park.) who presided, declined, at the request of the Common SET g.Tant. to put the question on which of these points their 'ruin t was grounded. It might hate been, that six thought one way on the Prat issue. and six annther, and it could not therefore be maintained that there was that unanimity amongst the Jury which was einem nal to a good verdict. As to the previous nomination by the Town Council, that, he contended, was unnecessary ; the charter, whieh was granted for the earabliahment of the Corporation of 3loninoti gave no directions as to where, or when, or as to the mode in which tne election of Burgesses should take place. In the event of such emission in the charter, the right invariably remained, and was rated in the Burgesses at large. Such was the case in the present i isrance, and from incontrovertible evidence it was proved, that the I:nrgesties of the Borough of Monmouth were entitled to the ex tft4r of that eight. Again. it was said that the candidate was n usually proposed by iI:P Town Clerk. The reason was, that the lawn Clerk was usually • Burgess, but any other Burgess had an ts :nal right with him to propose whatever candidate he pleased or nnproved of. These considerations, he submitted, established the right of the Burgesses at large to the privilege of election. The e-cond point was the want of due notice ; the usual entice was g,Ten, the ringing of the bell was the usual mode of convening the lurgesses ; and that the day was the day of quarter.seasiens, was rot in his opinion a valid objecsion, as the charter specified co p irticular day for balding the elation. It should be also borne in mind that the attorney who attended to oppose the election, opposed it on the gresind of no right being vested in the Burgesses at large to elect, and nut on the ground of a want of sufficient notice. The Cities• Jurr ice was of opinion, that a new trial should net be granted in this case. It was n.anifest there was a want of sufficient node?, and if the Jury gave any other verdict than that which they did give on that issue, it could have been contrary to e . .denee. In directing that a t.ew trial should not take place, the court was disposed to leave the question, as to the right of elec tion in themanuer contended fir by 31r. CA II PIT LL. untouched. Cpcm the point, therefore, whether the nomination of the Town Council was necessary previous to the nomination by the Dur 'lmes. the Court would pronounce no opinion —would so restrict its Orcision at if the Jury had been discharged from returning any verdict upon the question of right. It was to be regretted that the Lasnied Judge dui not inquire on which issue, or whether on both. Vie Jury fulled thzir verdict, as thereby Much trouble and expense w•dAtl have been spared. The iuestion °fright was therefore still Open for discussion, and with thin qualification the Court directed tit•• verdict for the Crown to stare!. Rule refused. VICE-CHANCERY, Wtostsomr, Nov. 3. VOCNG t. GOOO4O/11. H"t Pot:nun to.d: his seat at 20 minires past eleven o'clock. rating he hail reed all the papers in thls case, and it appeared to I .to necessary to allow the demurrer. The bill wee tiled by Sir W.llism Young. in his character of trustee, which prayed, that lie, as trustee, might be declared entitled to take possession of the pre mise:: in question, under and subject to the trusts of the particular indenture which created these trusts ; and the question made by the demurrer was, whether the ccirsi qme trials wider that inden ture, who are equally interested with Sir Writ. Young under the Mound mortgage deed, should not be ininies to the bill ? And it was very obvious, that unless there wt.e some particular objection to Le taken, every pi.rsm interested in this case must be a party to the bill ; and the rtason was, that unless that were so, the effect of tlie decree in the cause would exclude those who were interested • under the second morgeg-, and of necessity therefi.re, they had a :right to prevent that decree. It had been contended, however, at tree. bar, tbat there was a specialty in this case, which was, that isa Jeuties Law's indenture (who is the second mortga t ;ce) con tained a certain declaration of trust,to which other parties interested were not parties ; therefore the Court was to consider that declare. ttua as voluntary on the part of Sir James Law ; and having ben voluntary, was not to be considered binding. The first answer to that was, that it was totally inconsistent with the plaintiff's own bill, for it prayed that he 'might be entitled under aril subject to hsat very indenture. The Duke cf Marlborough's case did not apply her, ; if it had applied, Sir James wo u ld ha v e h a d to roe Ike the trust ; but he had not I-iv:die:l it. and therefore it _remained an effectual trust. it was for these reasons that the de m:user would liars to be allot -11, with liberty to the plaintiff* to atamd his Lill upon the usual terms. SPANISII LOAN. JASIAT 11 , CAM , Lt.:IIBOCM AM° CO. The Court was ,next occupied in hearing the discussion of this plea, which was opened on Tuesday, tiled against the bill of Don Jnims Jabat, praying that the Court would declare him to be ea tithll to a lien upon font% in the bands of the defendants, to the *mama of 27,004 . and a fraction. Mr. lips - : and Mr. Pt/MERTON were in support of the p 1...., and dlr. SoLtCct oft.Gor Lath and Mr. h.ux, Counsel toi the plaintiff: The bill stated, that tit, plaintiff at one time bore the character at Plenipotentiary for the Govertimeht of Spain, and was employed to cool:act a loan in this country for the Government he repre a,nted ; he had effected that to a certain extent ; sunis were elaced 1-1 the bands of the defendants, employed by the Spanish Com_ ii,i , ,asonm to receive thou sums; and the plaintiff remitted to the sunish Government upwards of 13,0R0L which, with payments to othors., anti his expenses in this country, amounted to mere than xy,utrm., and Fe now ht to be reintbursad out of the to .1. in the haatla of the de fendants. The pro ition made by li' Counsel in support of the plea was, that the f und in the hands tw tiie defendants was raised for the tipanish Government upon a s..!istantial and collateral agreement, entered Into between that go. vannsent and time defendants, that they chould raise a fund for the sue at that govern:tient, the money now raised did nut, nor could i•kietele the produce of the sale of 60,000 tics, upon which the plain tiff was to have a claim ; that the fund sea raised is consequence tit •contract, to which the plaintiff wu no party. The 1401101T011-OENEKAL, however contended, that as the rigid, a correspondence Lad taken ',face between the plaintiff Spanish (lovernuacnt, which showed that he bad a claim load ; the Jinn:dant' were hound to put in their answer, ,ha: specific moneys they had received, what certificates in their hands, wh e th er there had not been specific trusts . upon thew, and whether tbey had, or bad not, uischarged trusts. :E-CuaaCELLOR without bearing Mr. Hart in reply, . was ',la rely eau In this case that the plaintiff hada upon the Spanish Government to the amount stated, say and a fraction. It was equally clear that the Commis.

Certain stock had been placed in their hands. at their disposition, and was that for the pur pose of paying the plaintiff (which they might have done?) or was it for the purpose of paying other debts, within their alithorit, to pay' Upon reading the record, it was clear that the funds were placed in the hands of the defendants, not for the purpose of paying the plaintifi"s claim, but for the purpose of paying other claims agatnot the Spanish Government; it was impossible. therefore, that he could have a lien upon that fund. Rat then it had been said, that the fund placed in the hands of the defendants, though held nut to he for the purpose of paying the plaintiff's claim, might do more than pay the particular debts it was intended to pay, and that upon the remaining surplus the plaintiff might have a lien ; the Court, however, was not of that opinion. It was not competent for • creditor to file a bill, in the first instance, against an agent, unless lie could charge misconduct; no such charge was made here, or attempted to he made, and therefore, upon very clear principles, the plea would have to be allowed.

Before Sir Jou,: NycnoLL, let. At the opening of the Court, Henry Van Sainsbury, LL.D. from Trinity Hall. Cambridge, was presented by Drs. Swabey and Arnold, on the rescript of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and, hav ing taken the usual opals, admitted an Advocate to practise in this Court. Dl' RANT •. DURANT. Dr. Lrrontwcrow said this was a suit originally instituted by Mrs. Mary Anne Durant, in the Consistory Court of Lichfield, against her husbani.. for a divorce, by reason of adultery. From the decision of that Conn an appeal was lead to this. After a num ber of witnesses had been examined on the libel rod allegation, and their depositions given to the Proctor for the defendants, the Court decreed for the conclusion of the cause, anti his (Doctor Lushing ton's) application to the Court was to rescind their order. Tile facts of adultery charged cecurred in a avice of fourteen years. On the delivery of the origroal evidence to Mr. Wood (Mr. Durant's solicitor il) the country), he was then confined hy indisposition to his hours, by which he was prevented from re-examining the wit nesses, and enabled to offer the necessary exceptive allegation to the Court. Mr. Purant's (the defendant) riNidence was at Tong Castle, Shropshire t Mr. Wald, hi, attorney, lived in M'olver hampton ; the various witnesses all lived at distant places ; to col lect evidence from them would have occupied ton h time to procure it. and Mr. IVtind's affidavit stated, that front these causes he could not do so. though he had used every exertion in his power to procure it. Under these cirenmstances he hoped the Court would allow further time to enable Mr. Durant to put in his exceptive allegation. Dr. Dons()); followed on the same side. .... ..... Dr. Anamsox„ Advoc: to for Mrs Durant. opposed the appli cation, ani denied that the indinnsition of Mr. M nod, • country solicitor, rot known in this Court, was sufficient to justify the im plication made for dday. It was ton much the practice in the Ecclesiastical Courts, to drlrcite the I'metor's duties to persons not conversant with them. the parties did so. they did so at the risk of great Injury to their clients, aid it was a Seflothi annoy ance to this l'ourt. rut lie must say it did not require very great exertion to collect sufficient evidence, and as hlr.Vi'ood was hintse.f oo:y a deputy, he rr.'pht have appointed another to act for him, whose acts would have hewn just as valuable is Mr. ll'oed's own. Dr. JEN En. for Mrs. Durant. also oppnsed the a-optical ion. and contended that the affidavit uf:Mr.Wood as too incomplete in every respect to satisfy the ('curt. It appeared that though Mr. Vinod received the depositions on the fith November, 1822, he had not rent them to the defendant on the fith following. Mr. Durant therefore might have gone to Mr. iVorrs, though the alleged indisposition prevented him from g.itting the evidence ; and Mr. Durant might himself, as he was bound, have procured it within the time pre scribed by the Court to have filed, iv order to obtain the delay now sought for. Affidavits were put in denying parts of Mr. IVood's affidavit. Sir Jolt!: Nicttnt.t., on delivering the judgment of the Court. reviewed the proceedings in this case at considerable length, told said there appeared to him to have been every obstruction and delay given by the defendant to the hearing of this cue, and bringing it to a conclusion , without making any allotment of alimony (though small gums were given on account of alimony from time to time). — The suit has commenced in consequence of the repeated misconduct of the husband, full fire years past ; and whether the charge is well or ill founded, it ought to have been fairly met at once. This was not done; for the party declared he would not deny the allegation, but would object to the e, knee adduced ; he had not done so, but had given the wife every possible obstruction. The Learned Judge then went into i'ar history of the different applications for delay ; the Court could not permit such attempts only where it appeared on the face of the proceedings petually e.ecessary to meet the justice r; the case, and that only where extraordinary circumstances shou:d arise. In this ease it was apparent that most culpable negligence had been used, and therefore the Court would reject the petition, an it would he a practice most dangerous to encourage, and attended with great injustice to the parties. In rejecting the petition the Court will net preclude itself from hearing an allegation, if it shall 'teem meet to them in the further stages of this cause; and as the petition is rejected, the Court will expect, from the length of time that has elapsed since any steps have been taken, that the parties will be prepared on the fire Court day of the next Session, in order to have a full and final hearing of the ease. POLICE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a men named Barrel wu brought before the Loan MAYOR.ott suspicion of haring acted feloniously. under rather ex traordinary circumstances, towards two widows. Crowds of the relit. tires and friends of the parties attended to hear the examination. It appeared that on Tuesday a Mrs. Evans,who resides at No. 83, Fore-street, waited upon the Lord 3layor, and stated that the pri soner had 'emelt°, or other contrived to make a widow lady, whose name was 11111, fall in love with Lim. This Mrs. 11111 had a little cior.ey, and a decent business as a drew-maker, and it wu more than supposed that his object wart not quite so disinter. cited .is his ditrlarations professed to be. Marry him, however. 31rs. 11;11 would, notwithstanding the probabilities ac to the actual ca use of the attachment. They teed together for sixteen months, at the expiration of which he suddenly took her off with him, stat ing that he was going to the country, and le a vi ng hi s daugh ter by a former wife to take care of the business, on which he had since his marriage subsisted, without putting himself or his wife under any obligation to his own labour. Great surprise was occasioned 1 y the intelligence that the prisoner, one month after the disap paarmice of the late widow (fill, had married another widow. The applicant was present at the marriage of the prisoner and Mrs. 11:11, rod took great interest in the fate of the latter, as she had been a^quainted with her many years. The prisoner was applied to for information as to the abode and condition of his wife, but he padtircly and resolutely refused to give any account of her. The friends t f the unfortunate wife were alarmed in the highest degree at this mysterious concealment. The Lord Mayor, upon die re. presentation, granted a warrant against the prisoner, considering that. at all events, if the account was correct, there was a case of bigamy made out. The prisoner wss apprehended and brought to the Justice-Itoom. Mrs. Evans rousted her complaint, and said that the prisoner, after he had married the widow 11 ill. and lived nearly a year and a half upon leer ezertiors, married a Mrs. Wood, of Chancery-lane, before he eid which, he secured the busitona of Mrs. Hill to his daughter. She also said, that when he was taking his wife away, he declared that he was taking ha to the country for the benefit of her health. Brand, the Mari -.alman, who executed the warrant, stated, that he had ascertained that the prisoner's wife. alto was supposed to be dead, was still living. She was not however, he believed, likely to continue long so, as she appeared lobe in the last stage of a con sump:lot. He wont to • house in Curtain-road by the direction of the prisoner, and his new wife, Alta. Wood, who accompanied him, and found the poor woman in the condition described. The room in which she lay was indifferently furnished, but the patient seemed to be on good terms with the prisoner. The witness questioned her upon the subject of her marriage, and she said, she believed she was not the prisoner's wife in law, as she bad married him in the name of Hill, which was not her own name, but that of a man with whom she heel lived finateen years before she married the prisoner. She complained of nothing, but appeared to be very resigned. The poor woman's friends who had listened wi th the greatest anxiety to this statement, de clared that the thing was impossible that she was either not in a sound state of mind, or that site had spoken under some eztrannlinary influence, the facts being quite at valiance with her account of her connection with the prisoner. A youth here stepped forward and said, be claimed the protection of the Lord Mayor against the proceedings of the prisoner. He (the complainant) was the son of Mrs. Wood, the widow, of Chan. eery-lane, whom the prisoner had prevailed olio.' to marry him af. ter eight weeks' courtship, and a worth marriage it was for the Young man, who said, that when his father died he conducted the business of the houie, and was earning about 2001. a-year. The prisoner. hove,: r. no sooner hid:aced the weak woman to give Lint her hand than he began to exercise the authority of smashr as well as a husband, took possession of the shop, and turned his son-in law out of doors without a farthinj in his pocket. The Loan 3laeun said, that as far as yet appeared from one of the documents which he held in his hand, (the certilieates of the two mareages,) the first marriage was valid, in which case the pri soner would not be entitled to the cootrol he had exercised. Upon the part of the prisoner it was submitted, that rat charge hut been yet established against him. It was evident that .11th. Hill had nothing to complain of, and the second, or red wife, did not consider herself justified in aiding this proceeding, for she did not think proper to attend. It was not contended that the whole of the prisoner's conduct was capable of justification, and the w,.- ter y respecting Mrs. Hill deserved to hare been investigated. Mrs. Evans, and the other friends of the prisoner's 'bat wife, im plo:ed the Lord Mayo, not to discharge the prisoner until thee should have an opportunity of investigating the circumstances themselves, Particularly with reference to the estra.irdinary se. most given by the sick woman to the fllarshalman on the subject of he: marriage. The prisoner was silent, and advised by his frienda to remain so. The prisoner, indeed, said not a word during the examination. The Loan Maros sale he should by no means dischar i p the prisoner. It appeared. at prelim% that t! re was a ease of bigamy against him, and the matter must be fully investigated. The prisoner was then remanded, and the laird 'layer gave or ders that the female friends of the sick woman should be conducted to flee place where she lay, and that care should be taken that the communication should be perfectly Gee. A young men, canted vas charged on suspicion of THE BRITISH PRESS. having been concerned in stealing a number of silk handkerchiefs out of a linen-dr.•oef a shop. It was stated that the ;Ills:incr. in company with &nattier man, went into the shop, and asked to look at a particular pattern which was in the window. The other man, who appeared most desirous to purchase, went outside the shop on preence of pointing out the par ticular goods, but he disappeared without ceremony, and the pri soner was about to follow him. whin it was discovered that a piece of silk handkerchiefs was stolen. The prisoner was stopped on sit:picion of being an accomplice in the robbery. No n.oney suffi cient to purchase a handkerchief was found upon him. The priataier said, that he had been a weaver, but work becoming difficult to be had, he was compelled to go a step or two lower to save himself front perishing, by submitting to he a player. But even in this unfortunate rank lie gut no more than bare victuals, and of course was obliged to go without garments, for although he acted Richard the Third with nacre's, it never put a penny in his pocket. Of course it was rather inconvenient for him to stay long upon the stage. Ile hoped, hoarier, lbw he'r's not to he subjected to be a candidate for that other stage where death was not the mere ITISIttr of a moment. The Loan MAYOR asked hint where he had played last ? The prisoner said, he had played King Richard the Third at Croydon. The Chief Clerk said, that if the prisoner was a member of the state, he could no doubt convince the Lord Mayor of the fact. The prisoner. What, here ! (with an expression of horror and surprise). The Loan MAYOR—Yes, here. The prisoner —What! before all these people; must I do it without study ? The LORI/ MAYOR—Proceed. The prisoner then frowned horribly, sod began thus:— •' *Tit now the midnight hour of night, When Chorchyarda yawn. and hell itself breathes out Confusion in the world. Now (putting his hand to his jaws) could I drink black blood, And do such business with it as ale tiny would shake to look at." The Loan MATOIII thought tins but a pnor evidence of the pri. toner's eminence in the profession. He thought, however, that a caution might have some effect; and, after having advised him to he more ' , annular than he had teen in his selection of character in the streets, and to resign that of Filch, discharged hint. GUILDHALL. 7uhri Smies, a joumeyntan, late in the employ of Messrs. Brooks and Co., brass nuinufaeturera, New-street, Fetter-lane, appeared yesterday. before Mr. Alderman 51 A GNAY. the Sitti' . g Magistrate, upon a aummona, obtained against him, wider the recent Statute 4 George IV. cap. 34, fur that he being hired by weekly contract. had quitted his service belOre the time of snch contract had expired, leaving unfinished work for which he had been paid. After hearing the case, 31r..tiderinan I%i AOMAY said, he thought the conduct of the defendant most gross, and was about to send bin/ to hard "About in the !louse of Correction for 'month, but upon Smith's expressing his contrition, and promising faithfully to re repay the money regularly, Mr. Brooks interceded for him. With regard to the money, he said, that was not his object, r.or would lie touch a shilling of it when the defendant repaid it, but would giv e it in aid of the pour 's rates or any other charitable purpose. His only object wasan example to the numbers of men he was necessarily obliged to employ, and as Smith now seamed sensible of his mis conduct, he did not with to Kea for further punishment. The Alderman, at this intercession, suspended the conviction, and the defendant was discharged with an impressive admonition. BOW-STREET. LANDLORD •ND LoDOta.--Veaterday a question (had it been within the power of a Magistrate to decide it) would have been heard, highly important to the public u far as regards the law re spectmg landlord and tenant. A young lady came to complain of the very distressing circumstances in which she was placed owing to the renter of the house in which she lodged having negiected to pay his rent, in consequence of which the landlord, a new days ago, issued an execution, and all her property, including some valuable apparel, was seized. The young lady's friends brought the land lord before the Magistrate, to know whether the law authorised such a proceeding. Mr. HALLS, who regretted the unpleasant dilemma in which the applicant was placed, asked to look at the authority of the Isrlloni, and upon seeing it, observed, that he could not afford the parties any further redress than by intorming the landlord that he was not justified in detaining any articles of wearing apparel. The landlord said, that he had seized for upwards of 2001., rert due to him. As the Magistrates eouLl not interfere further, the parties left the Office. PAW N neort 111.—A labouring man, named Collier, applied for • summons against a pawnbroker o: Monmouth.street. The ap plicant stated that about two months since he pawned a few articles, which were wrapped up in a large piece of linen, and upon fetching them out of pledge and opening the bundle. when he got home, he found that the lineal was gone. On returning to state this to the pawnbroker,and to claim the property missing, he was informed that the pawnbroker did not hold himself revonsible fisrlinv linen. he (applicant) haying neglected to examine the bundle before he quitted the skip, consequently the only alternative which was left was an application to a Magistrate. Mr. lIALLS asked Collier if he came to complain against the pawnbroker for a non-delivery of all the articles which the applicant had pledged. The complainant said he did. The Maorrisart accordingly granted a summons under the Act or Regulating Pawnbrokers. IiATTON-O.IRDEN. ROBUERY LT ♦ Sguvasr.—Yesterday Joseph iratts,absus founder, was brought up in custody of Thissebon, lad offices. charged with rubbing his etnptiers, Messrs. Johnston and Brookes, of New - street-square, letter.lane, lamp-manuteeturers and braeot-fountlers. hlr. Robert Johnston, one of the paetncn, stated, that the prisoner had been a considerable time in their employ, and from certain recent kindnesses they had shewn him in the way of advances of money, they were entitled to a more grateful return than he ap pears to have made ; the intrinsic value of the articles which would be sworn to as stolen, was of very trifling moment, Cut if sonic ex amples were not made, the system would soon extend itself, and tradesmen would always be open to plunder. A numberof turtiMg tools and other implements used in the trade, together wilt some bras ornaments were produced, which were found by Tbisseltun at the prisoner's lodgings in 01d-street, City. road. Mr. Johnson observed, that as he had the whole management of the mechanics past of the concern, lie could swear positively to those things, b the particular way in which they were marked. Every workinati has a setof tools allotted to his use, and those tools are all lettered a:itl numbered according :0 the letter and naniler of the lathe at a ti;•.:lt he works. This systematic arrangement he (Mr. J.)adopted, to prevent that confusion which, in an extensive factory, employing at least 150 hands, would otherwise ensue. From two of the tools found at the prisoner's lodgings, the marks were filed out sery recently. no doubt to prevent discovery. The Magistrate asked, if there was any reason to suppose that this pectilatiin had been lung going forward ? Dlr. Johnston said, that they had latterly missed things, but really had no power to attach suspicion to one in particular until last night (Tuesday), that he prisoner was discovered in a part or tae concern where he could have no business, and was observed to roll something up in his apron, and when questioned by the fore man whet brought him there, he gave some vague excuse, and was suffered to depart. large clump of lead was missed soon after from sat very spot, and suspicion naturally attaching tu the pri soner, lie was given into custody on the foUowing morning (yester day), aad the articles produced were found at his lodgings, by means of a search warrant. Mr. Johnston again repeated, that it was only for the purposes of justice, and ass protection due to trade, that the present prosecution was pressed. Dlr. Roasts, the sitting Magistrate, entirely concurred in Mr. Johnston's opinion, and in order to allow sufficient time for in quiry, he remanded the prisoner fur a week. QUEEN-SQI.'A RE.

The prianeers w ere most notorious characters, and appeared at the bar with the greatest effrontery. Patrick Flaherty, a pensioner of Chelsea College, deposed that he was employed as watehtnan round the preuli•el, and about 12 o'clock last night he saw the prisoner ,lend upon the rep of the Powder Magazine. The prisoner lay down to avoid his notice. Witness, however, flung a stone et him. when he mored.

From Friday up to' Monday last be had been successively robbed by these depredators of linen. poultry. he. ; but his loss comparatively trifling to what others had sufrcred. The Trimmers were remanded for a week, as other charges are expected to be brought against them. UNION-HALL. Yeaterday Fleanne bra, housnmaid in the service of Mr. Hind son, residing in South-place, Kennington, was brought before Mr. SWAREY. Esq. charged on suspicion of having been an accomplice in the following robbery s Mr. !Hodson stated, that about two months since he hired the prisoner at Parr 's register-office. on Holborn-hill. and received an honest character of her. On Monday evening last, he (witness) being absent from home, ills wife, previous to retiring to bed, took a candle and proceeded to examine the different moms in the house before she went into her own. In the course of her search site also went to stable, where the first thing that met her eye was the figure or a man, with black curly hair, lying down on one of the trusses of hay, with a plate and knife and fork beside him. She screamed nut on beholding the fellow, and ran into the dwelling. house. The watchman was instantly called, who, upon examining the place, discovered that the man had escaped, leaving behind hint the plate,llknife and fork, and some roasted beef. These cir cumstances being related to witness on his return home, he at once !naivete the servant girl must have some knowledge of the person who had been thus concealed. She was interrogated on the subject, and, after a good deal of prevarication, admitted that lie was an acqusirtanee of hers, a footman out of place; and that he. commiserating his situation, helped him to a slice of beef nut of the ludo., with rermission to sleep on a truss of hay in the stable that night. Her t a le w a s b e lieved , a nd no farther sus picions excited at that time. However, on IVednesday morn ing, the witr,ess and his wife went out. and on their return home, on going into the parlour they found that a basket, containing a quantity of plate, which had been previously placed under the side board, was gone, and front the tact of a quantity of plated articles which were tin. the sideboard remaining untouched, together with that of the circumstances above-mentioned, the prisoner and the person whom she had secreted as described, were at once suspected of having committed s the robbery in conjunction. Subsequent to the robbery witness questioned the prisoner very closely u to the length of time she hod been acquainted with the man found in the loft, and then she acknowledged that she had been first acquainted with him at Kensington, where she formerly lived, and that that person, since she had entered his (witness's) service, lived as footman with a gentleman next door. Mr. Hindson called upon this gentle man, and, upon inquiry, ascertained that such a person had lived as footman there, but had been dischargtd tune week% antecedent for dishoneft practices. This g_ntleman, it appeared, bad also hired the footman at Parr's office. When the prisoner was placed at the bar, she cried bitterly, and protested that she had no hand in the robbery. Upon being asked where the man ahont she had acknowledged being acquainted with was likely to be found, she declared that she had -;.t. the lep.t idea, although she was acquainted with him for a lorg 'tote, and had been frequently out walking with him, yet she did not know wLere his residence was. The Magistrate observed, that there were very strong circum stances of suspicion made out against her of being a participator in the robbery of her muter. She therefore should be remanded for further exatuina'ion, and as an accurate description of the footman has been given, the officers were on the alert after him. ADCLTC2ATION OF Basa.—As an Exciseman, in the discharge of his duty, was making his customary call at a brewery, in one of the principal towns in Kent, some time last week, it happened at the precise time of drawing off the wort ; something at the moment appearing to stop the passage of the liquor, he was induced to ascertain the cause, for which purpose he introduced a hook-stick into the cop per, and drew therefrom a bag, which, on examination, was found to contatt a quantity of tobacco. The stuff, which was t. have been called beer, was immediately seised, and the premises taken under the cognizance of the Excise.— Ken fish Gazette. TITHE CON( POSITION.—At a Special Vestry held in the parish church of Castlelyons, on Thursday the 2Sth inst., under the Tithe Composition Act, for the Prebend of Kil lavilling, being an Union of that parish, the tithes of which belong to the Lord pisho r of Clovne, Garret Standish Barry, Esquire, in the chair—the Bishop's agent, Mr. M'J)onnell, made an offer of the tithes for 21 years, with out variatien, at 60/. a year, which was immediately accepted. This Prebend paid last year 70/. for tithe • the year before 80/., and the year preceding that 100!. This arrangement comes to Is. 841. per acre, whereas, the Composition, under the Commissioner's certificate, in the parish of Castlelyons, would be 3a. 20., and tlyo ground in Killavilling is of rather better quality than the average of Castlelyons.— Cork Paper. MR. FAUNTLEROY.—TUNSRIDGIC WELLS, OCT. SO.— There is a singular trait in the character of this unfortu nate man, which must excite general interest, and which may, in some measure, account for the manner in which ha disposed of such large sums of money as he must have made hitnself the possessor of. Mr. Faunt!croy did acts of private charity with an almcat unbounded liberality. He never vaunted this, nor made any merit of it, and it is only known to a few persons. He used frequently to visit this place (Tunbridge Wells), as well as the writer of this article, and was characterised for the singular urbanity of his manners and good humour. Mr. Fauntleroy was never addicted to any species of gaming, as has been said of him.—Eerning Paper. Tits Rev. C. Cosrox.—All doubts relative to the sudden diappearance and motives of this gentleman will, we think, be fully explained by the perusal of the follow ing extracts from a letter written by him, and dated Oct. 9, 1824, directed to his assignee. It will be remembered that a commission was sued out against him, and sentence of outlawry proclainicd, in the usual manner, on his failing to surrender to his bankruptcy. The object of the present application would appear to be intended to ascertain how I far lie would be likely to meet the assistance of his creditors lin superseding the bankruptcy, and reversing the outlawry. The living at Kew will be vacated in law, if the incumbent does not unix his appearance within three years from the time of citation by the Bishop of the diocese, and this period is now rapidly approaching ; consequently the ab sentee, it is supposed, is very anxious to make some satis factory arrangement. It may be necessary to say the letter is anonymous, but there is not the shadow of a doubt of its bog his writing. It proceeds thus:—" You will be waited upon by a confidential ft iced of Mr. Colton's, a very few ' days after the receipt of this letter. Mr. Colton has quitted America for the sole purpose of making a satisfactory ar rangement with all parties to whom he is indebted." He then alludes to the litigious conduct of some of his creditors, but for thorn, he says, he should never have quitted Eng land ; and proceeds, " for the present Mr. Colton can only say, that it will SJOII appear he has, throughout this whsle business, the most upright intentions, notwithstanding ap pearances. A most satisfactory arrangement is of snore consequence to him than life itself, but it must be a roianterity, riot a forced [These words in Italics, are so marked in the original] arrangement; the first he would purchase at any sacrifice; the second he will withstand to the utmost, as it would not save what he values more than life. By the time you receive this, Mr. Colton will be nearer to you than you imagire." Of the authenticity of this letter there is no doubt, and it displays great liberality on the part of his sole assignee and creditors, when we say, from authority, they are liberally disposed towards him ; but what must appear very singular, after the above com munication, is, the confidential friend alluded to has not yet made his appearance, although three weeks have elapsed since the receipt of the letter.—.lfeeeiter Paper. nue FLAIIII.LS l'ION•-•Yl . Stirday morning, pursu ant to their sentences, two men were publicly and elf. et ively whipped in the court-yard of :he Old Bailey ; after which ceremony, three young men (one of whom was named Davis) receivea a similar compliment in private. Davis was discharged forthwith. Previous to his leaving prison, he had an interview with the Gurernor of Newgate, who, I in a humane manner, inquired as to the place of his desti nation, and the means he had to proceed thither. The lad said that he was a m ..ve of Worthing, where his friends live, and thither he wished to go, but was entirely destitute of means to do so, for he was pennyless and in want of trowsers and shoes. The Governor told him he hoped the punishment he had that morning received would act as a warning to him through life, and operate as a preventative against farther depredations ; afar which he was supplied isith trowsers and shoes, and sullicient pecuniary aid to enable him to return home, for which he expressed his gratitude, and at the same time promised to reform his conduct. A young lady of Topsham, cut lit r throat ou Monday in a fit of derangement. Mr. Cass of the brig Perseverance, fell dead in the In dependeutChapel at Truro, last week, in the act of praying. On Tuesday a desperate battle was fought in Bideford market-place between two females. Their caps.
