A person, named Rontanell, applied to Ald erman r 'WINCHESTER (who sat during a short absence of the Lord Mayor) for redress under the following circumstances :—He became surety . to Government for the payment of a large sum of money; the per son For whom he became surety proved insolvent. The applicant was called upon to make good the deficiency, and failing to do so, he was imprisoned in White Cross-street prison. He succeeded in ob taining a discharge, after having endured a long and painful imprisonment. This took place upwards of two years ago. Recently the applicant had learned that an order from Government for his discharge had been sent to the prison six months before he was liberated. His detention was attributable to the criminal misconduct of the Governor or of his deputy. Alderman WINCHESTER said the case, as stated, was certainly an aggravated one; but the Magis trates could give the applicant no redress. Mr. Spencer, who — was the Governor of the prison at the time the applicant was imprisoned, no longer held the office, and was without the Magistrate's controul. Mr. Douglas was only his clerk. Were the complaint against any one at present in the office under the Corporation, steps would have been token with respect to it. BOW.STREET. Yesterday Mr. Martin liraslin, a coal-merchant of the Adelphi-wharf, Strand, appeared before Sir R. BIRNIE, to answer to a summons obtained against him at the instance of Mr. Turquand, one or the principal Surrey land coal-meters, for having de livered 18 sacks of coals in sacks of a less depth than four feet two inches, cont►ary to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Adolphus, who appeared for the defendant, took a-preliminary objection to the information, and called Mr. Turquand an informer, hinting that he preferred the charge for the sake of the penalty. Mr. Turquand denied that he was an informer, and said that he was merely acting in pursuance of his duty. As for the penalty, not a penny of it would go into hi. pocket. Mr. Adolphus—Ay, ay, if you don't get it,one way, you do in another. Mr. Turquand asked the magistrate if he was to:be subjected to these observations: he was paid a salary for the office which he held, and had nothing to do. w;th penalties, which went to the committee under whom he acted. The objection of Mr. Adolphus being overruled, 'I he clerk read the summons, and the defendant pleaded " not guilty." Elizabeth Hunter then deposed, that she lived in Maiden-lane, and had dealt with the defendant for coals during the last 16 or 17 years. On the 22d of last month, 18 sacks were delivered by the de fendant at her house, and Mr. Rickman, now present, measured the sacks, which he said were not proper ones. _ _ By Mr. Adolphus—Witness never had any com plaint against the defendant. She believed the reason for that was, because she bad never measured the coals which he sent her. Mr. Rickman deposed, that he was a principal Surrey land coal meter. On the day in question, he saw the coals delivered from a Croydon waggon, and thinking it strange that a Surrey waggon should `be delivering coals in Westminster, he— Mr. Adolphus—Don't tell usaboutyour thoughts, Sir. Mr. Rickman—l have a right, I apprehend, to state the reasons that occurred to my mind for the conduct I pursued. Mr. Adolphus—l want to hear nothing of what passed in your mind—if you have a mind. You are here as a common informer, and must act as such. Mr. Rickman—Am I to be insulted in: this man ner, in the presence of the Magistrates ? I cell upon Sir Richard Birnie to protect me from such observations. Sir R. BIRNIE interposed, and requested the Learned Counsel to restrain his remarks. The witness than proceeded to state that he could measure only one sack of the coals, as Mr. Muslin, who had been sent for, prevailed upon Mr. Hunter (husband of the first witness) to allow the remainder of the sacks to be shot without being measured. Ford, the gaoler, produced the sacks, and upon their being measured, it turned out that most of them were at least three inches short of the pre scribed length. A discussion arose as to whether the lips of the sacks ought to be included in the measurement. The Magistrates decided, however, that the sacks ought to be the prescribed length in dependently of the lips or the lappels. The person who made the sacks proved that they had been regularly stamped by the proper authority. Mr. Taylor, an inspector of Westminster land coal-meters, said, that in his opinion the sacks were Of the proper length,if the lips were included, which he considered ought to be the case. Mr. Turquand expressed his surprise to see Mr. Taylor come forward as a witness for the defendant, and expressed his determination to reporehim. The defendant said that if his sacks were defi cient, two-thirds of those used in the trade were in the same condition. Sir R. BIRNIE said he was very sorry to hear that. He was bound to convict the defendant ; but he could appeal. The defendant was then convicted in the sum of 20s. He signified his intention to appeal against the decision, and entered into his own recognizances for that purpose. The ease and despatch with which the new Po lice conduct their night charges at Bow-street forms a striking contrast to the slovenly and unsa tisfactory manner in which the defunct nightly watch performed their duty, and proves the supe riority of the new system, even while yet in its in- Lucy. The Magistrates themselves seem astonished at the regularity with which the business is done, and the improvement must be obvious to any per son who is at all acquainted with the subject. The charges are arranged and brought forward by the Superintendent and Inspectors, who have the re spective parties marshalled in order outside the office, so that no time is lost in getting them in be fore the Magistrates. This order, it is but fair to state, if not entirely owing to, is at all events greatly facilitated by, those of the men who had be longed. to the patrol who were attached to this office. The clearness and distinctness with which the men delivered their evidence must also have been matter of satisfaction as well to the accused as to the Magistrate. Sir R. 131FINIE said that it was really matter of congratulation to perceive the difference between the new police and the old watch. The Chairman of a Free and Easy, John Murry, and Patrick • Kenny, two well-known characters, were yesterday charged with having been concerned in picking pockets. It appeared that the prisoners were observed by two gentlemen a-sisting a boy in picking pockets. The boy got away, but the pri soners were secured. On them were found some gentlemen's cambric pocket handkerchiefs, which they said they had pnrChased for wearing round their necks on Sundays Mr. HALLS observed, that if they did not mind they would, ere long, have something else round their necks. • Mr: Thomas, the Superintendent, produced a duplicate of a handkerchief, and a bundle of cards, of which the following is a copy : " FREE AND EASY. " SlR,—The favour of your company is requested on*Monday evening next, at seven o'clock, at Mr. Fassett's, the Harp, Georee•street, Bloomsbury, and you will oblige " Your's, gr.c. " JOHN MURRY, Chairman." Mr. HALLS observed, that this was a very polite invitation. Evidence of the repute of the p risoners was th en taken, and they were committed for two months each to the House of Correction. In addition to the present dress, the policemen are to have, we understand, in wet weather, a large oil-skin cape, lined with serge, which is to be af fixed to the gteat coat, and reach to the chest. lIATTON-GARDEN. The boy, John Annear, who was charged at this office on Monday last with stabbing a youth named Gorman, was yesterday placed at the bar before Mr. ROGERS and Mr. LAING for final examination. Several of the boys who witnessed, or were par ties in &he transaction, with one or two other per sons, attended, and gave evidence, of which the following is the substance:— On Sunday afternoon the prisoner was passing through a hop-field adjoining to Maiden-lane, St. Pancras, where a vast concourse of boys were at play at the time, and having a switch in his hand, about thirty of those boys singled out, and falling on him, deprived him of his switch. He made an effort to recover it, when he was violently assaulted and knocked down ; some dragged him along by the heels, while others kicked and trampled upon him, and the severity of the treatment was carried to such an extent, and persevered in so long, that the pri soner at last drew his -knife to repel and defend himself from his assailants. Gorman, and two or three others more desperate than the rest, rushed in upon him to wrest the knife out of his hand, and en this occasion some slight wounds were inflicted, and Gorman received two stabs, one in his side im mediately under his breast, and the other between his hip and groin. The prisoner then ran away with the bloody knife, the point of which was broken in the conflict, firmly grasped in his hand, but was still pursued by his assailants, who pelted him with mud and stones, ❑ntil he reached Battle bridge, where he was overtaken, and the assault re newed, which must certainly have proved fatal in the event, had not a constable and some other per sons interposed, and .taken the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tilt, the surgeon, deposed that Gorman, though unable to attend the examination, was out of danger. The wounds he received were not se vere, and from their appearance, coupled with the evidence, he believed them to be accidental rather than the effect of meditated blows. The witness added, that the field in which the assault took place. was a nursery foi viciousness and disorders of all kinds, and on Sundays particularly, was sure to be the, scene of continual riots among thousands of youths of the most profligate character. Mr. LAING, after some observations upon the pro vocations the .prisoner received, and also upon the yet unjustifiableness of his using a knife under the circumstances, recommended to the parents of both parties an adjustment of the matter between them selves, which was agreed to, arid the prisoner was then bound over in his own recognizances to ap pear at the ensuing Sessions, to answer to any in .diatment- that -may..-be preferred against him under the circumstances. THAMES POLICE.OFFICE. Yesterday Luitze Jacob Buiten, commander of the Dutch galliot the Henrietta, was brought to this office at the instance of the Customs officers, charged with smuggling tobacco into this country. The prisoner being asked to plead, said, in broken English, that he did not intend to smuggle the to bacco, which was received as a plea of not guilty. Mr. John Bonner, one of the Customs' tide-sur veyors, stated that on the 23d of September he boarded the Henrietta oil Gravesend, on the eastern side of the river. The prisoner was commander of the vessel he was on board. Witness searched the cabin, and found in a locker five pounds of common tobacco, such as is used by seamen. He asked the prisoner if it was all lie had ? The prisoner said that was all, he had no snore. Witness perceived a place under the captain's sleeping-birth, and asked what that contained ? He answered, " Only my provisions;" and drawing away a chest, pulled out a tub of butter, a cask of spirits, and a bag► of peas, saying, " There is nothing but the biscuits left." Witness desired one of his men to remove the bis cuits, and the prisoner became dreadfully agitated. This induced him to believe that something was concealed under the biscuits, and he directed his man to remove all, which he did, and found some boards placed horizontally, and three others in a perpendi cular position next the bulk head, inclosing 100 bundles of Dutch manufactured tobacco, and several bundles of cigars, weighing between 61b. and 71b. The prisoner became so confused and agitated that he could not speak, and went upon deck. There were but five men on board, and some time after witness hail seized the vessel, the prisoner said he came from Antwerp with a cargo of bark, and was then bound outward to France. Mr. Barry chiefly rested the prisoner's defence on the allegation that he never intended to land the to bacco,and that it was intended for the use of the crew. This was answered by the observation, that sth. was allowed for the use of each man. As there were five men, the prisoner ought to have had only 25th. on board ; but the great quantity which was found, and the manner in which it had been con cealed, must be taken as proof of a design to smuggle. The decision► of the Magistrates was, that the de fendant should be fined 1001., and imprisoned until the fine be paid. The defendant was committed to Chelmsford gaol in default of payment. The vessel belonged to M. Podore, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Antwerp. A meeting of the parishioners of St. Sa viour's, Southwark,. took place on Tuesday, for the pur pose of choosing four overseers for the year ensuing. Some excitement prevailed at the meeting in consequence of the pirty spirit exhibited, and it Was stated as a reason for being prudent in the selection of overseers, that the expen diture of last year amounted to nearly 20,0001. After some discussion Messrs. WILD, jun. DYNsON, YOUNG, and PAGE were chosen by a considerable majority. - - General CARNAC communicated to the Asia tic Society the translation of an Indian grant of land made in the year 1018. The original Sanscrit contains one compound word, consisting of not less titan a hundred and fifty-two syllables, and words of equal or greater length are not at all uncommon in that very ancient and curious language. THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.—Sunday even ing the year 5590 was ushered in with the usual rites ob served on such occasions by the Israelites. At sunset the Jews resident in this metropolis all assembled at their sy nagogues, when th e w h o l e of t h e Mosa i c laws, and the usual prayers, & e. were read over, and the congregation lined until b etween e i ght and nine o ' clock. On Mon their N ew Y ear ' s Day, they again assembled, at sun , to cel e b rate the Feast of Trumpets, in commemora in of AmtatfAm's offering up his son. At ten the crumpets were sounded, which announced the commence ment of the year, and those who thought proper left the synagogue, but many of them remained to a I ste hour. They met ag a i n at sunset tl:e same day, and also on Tuesday at the same hour, when these rites terminated.

A melancholy case of suicide has taken place at Carshaltoa, in Surrey, by a young female, aged only i 9 years, named Sophia Scott, which has thrown the village into a state of excitement, in consequence of a report which gated that the unfortunate girl had fallen a victim to seduction, and that a young man to whom she was much attached had been the seducer. The person alluded to had certainly kept her company for some time, but from some cause or other not yet explained, they quarrelled, and he de serted her. This circumstance is supposed to have preyed heavily on her mind, and although she was treated by Mrs. Paine, a widow lady, at Carshalton, in whose service she was, with the greatest kind• nes:, nothing could throw off the melancholy and depression prevailed on her spirits. On Finlay last she called at her mother's for .the last time, and then wrote a letter to her lover, notwith standing•the urgent solicitations of her parent not to do so. On Sunday evening the unfortunate girl by some means procured a quantity of laudanum, which she swallowed, and put an end to her existence. • _ On Tuesday evening an inquest was held on her body, before Mr. CARTER, coroner for Surrey, at the Greyhound, at Carshalton. The evidence of Mrs. Paine, the girl's mother, and Mr. Wallace, a surgeon, proved the girl's me lancholy, and her death by laudanum. Frederick Charles Smith, a tradesman at Carsh allot], the young man alluded to by the mother of the deceased, was also examined. He stated that he bad been acquainted with the deceased about eleven months. About six weeks ago he had reason to know that tha deceased was with child. Juror—When did you see her last ? . Witness — On Friday evening. Juror—Had you any conversation with her at that time ? Witness—None whatever. I did not speak to her at all. Juror—Have you received any letter from the de ceased lately ? Witness—She left a note for me on Friday evening last. Juror—Have you got that note in your posses sion ? Witness—l have not. I read it, and after wards destroyed it. In answer to several other questions put by the Jury to the witness, he firmly denied ever having any criminal intercourse with the deceased, although he admitted he had associated with her, and fre quently walked out with her. The Coroner summed up the evidence; and the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict— " That the deceased destroyed herself by taking laudanum, in a temporary fit of insanity." IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE. (From the Times' City Article.) In an article written under this head on Sa turday last, a very guarded opinion was ventured on, that there were symptoms of a partial im provement, at least in the trade of London, par ticularly in some of the chief colonial produc tions. We feel much pleasure now in expressing our conviction, that to the extent then described opinion was a correct one ; and further, tha appearances of the same favourable kind are be- ginning to manifest themselves in the out-ports, and that in a way, too, which leads fairly to the inference that they are the prelude to an im provement of a far more important nature,—viz., that of the great manufacturing districts. The demand for cotton has usually been taken as one of the surest indications of the prosperity of our manufactures ; and we believe that the sales both here and at Liverpool, as well as the low rate of value, have for a longtime past borne the most conclusive testimony to their depressed and im poverished conditions. It seems, however, by the letters received this morning from Liverpool, that an unexampled briskness was experienced in that market on Monday last, when no less than 4,000 bags of cotton of various descriptions and qualities changed hands in the course of the day. Among the purchasers were several of the prin cipal manufacturers in Manchester and the neighbouring towns, who were supposed to be actuated by the belief that the " turn-out," as it is called, of the weavers generally, was coming to an end, and that a winter-season of much briskness in the fabric 'of cotton goods might fairly be looked forward to. The Liverpool let ters remark that the demand was not confined to manufacturing purposes, but that there was also a good deal of export and speculative business doing, the natural consequence, in all probability, of the more legitimate demand. The advance on the previous prices, from this activity in the Liverpool cotton-market, was not very material, but it had induced the holders, as might be expected, to stand out for better terms, so that one of the principal Liverpool houses, which had orders to purchase, at a limit, to the extent of 3,000 bags, was only able to procure about 300 in Monday's market. These facts are derived from letters of respectable merchants and brokers, on which, as we believe, dependence may be placed ; if we err in thinking that this is the beginning of a change for the better (of course with some exceptions) in the general trade of the country, we do so with those whose judgment stands as high, in common estimation, as that of any individuals in the city. We do not intend to say'now, nor did we ever intend to say, that trade is to pass all at once from a depressed to a prosperous state. The disease of a bad system has been too deep for a sudden cure, but a country like this can never be cast away : there must be an end of the crisis, or a turning point somewhere ; and the pre sumption is warranted by many concurrent cir cumstances, that that point has now been reached. The commercial distreSs of the last two years has not been felt in England alone, but has spread more or less over the Continents of EUrope, Asia, and America, which is a sufficient answer, as has frequently before been remarked, to the outcry respecting free trade; and we should not be at all surprised to find that another trium phant argument is afforded in its favour by the ilia of England's being the first country to re cover effectually from that distress. It was predicted early in the 4pririg, that ow ing to the prevalent low prices, which naturally tended to cheek importation in goods, there would be a considerable influx of the precious metals in the latter end of the year, and this pre diction is now obviously in course of fulfilthent. Most of the late arrivals from America, North and South, have brought large supplies of bul lion ; and the state of the foreign exchanges plainly indicates that our exportations of last, o . It timet, greaterimt year to th e C ont i nent o f E uro pe must shortly come back to us.

The Post-office system of England, perfected as it has been of late years by the suggestions of Hr. Palmer, the late mail-coach contractor, is justly considered superior to that of any other country. Post-offices were first established in England in 1581, but they wete not regulated by Parliament until 1656. They were extended to Scotland in 1695. About the year 1635 the King ordered his " Postmaster of England for foreign parts," to open a regular internal conz- munication, by retuning posts, between London and Edinburgh, Chester, Holyhead, Exeter, Plymouth, and Ireland, &c. In 1653-4, the Post-office revenues were farmed by the Council of State and the Protector at 10,0001. per an num. The following table exhibits the rise and progress of its annual revenue : 1644 £5,000 1697...X90,505 1651.... 10,000 1710... 111,461 1664.... 21,000 1715... 145,227 1674.... 43,000 1723... 201,8E4. 1085._ 65,000 1744... 235,492 1665.... 76,318 1761... 281,535 From a comparative statement of the general revenue and expenditure of the Post-office at two distinct periods, namely, the three years preceding the commencement of the inquiry, anti the three years ending the sth of January, 1827, it appears that in the last period there has been a progressive increase in the gross receipts its each of the three kingdoms ; whereas in the for mer period • there was a progressive decline. The average rate of charge upon the gross receipt, (luring the first period, was 281. 19s. 4jd., dur ing the latter, it was only 261. 17s. 9id. The sum disbursed under the direction and responsi bility of his Majesty's Postmasters-General in Great Britain and Ireland, during the latter pe riod, was on an average, 67,0001. per ann. • Notwithstanding its prosperous revenue, the letter-carriers and subordinate agents of the Post office receive very slender incomes, which are still further reduced by a forced contribution to vards a superannuation fund. The pay of the letter 7 carriers of the metropolis (about 130 in number) when first employed, is from eight to eleven shillings per week ; and when on the establishment, it is only fourteen shillings. Per quisites arising from the early delivery, Christmas boxes, and the collecting bell, are supposed to make up the remainder. A number of improvements in this respect are said to be projected. The Eighteenth Re port of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, recently printed, and which, with the Appendix, occupies 697 pages, is entirely devoted to the Post-office of the United Kingdom, and from this document it appears, that some important alterations are projected, or rather about to be considered, in order to improve Btiil more our system of internal communication, and to accele rate our correspondence with the Colonies and the more distant Dependencies of the Empire. The Commissioners observe— 1775 £:345,321 1785... 463,75Zi 1793 ... 607,208 1816 2,067,940 1828 *1,400,000 " The necessity of some general revision of the existing arrangements (not less than of the constitu tion and administration of this department) has been, for (a length of time apparent, from the numerous and repeated references to Parliament on the sub ject of the Post-office communications. The ap, plications of this authority would seem to indicate the actual insufficiency of the powers or the means of the Post-office establishment to originate and carry into execution improvements of great and obvioes importance, which have been found practical-Ate through the intervention of the Legislature. Whilst measures undertaken for effecting partial ',reprove merits in particular instances, have not led the establishment of any g enera l pr i nc i p l e or system that , migat direct with uniformity the operations of this department, they have tended to produce a prejudi cial inequality in the advantages afforded through . the Post-office to different portions of the empir e , Besides the great benefit of an accelerated COrres, pondence thus partially attained, the rates of post age are made to decrease in proportion as such ac celeration arises, from an abridgment of distance in the lines of communication established at the dis cretion of the Post Master General; consequently the immediate interests of the Post-office reverat;) are apparently opposed to improvements in the culation of correspondence that might be effected by such means ; and the charge of postage being levied at a higher rate in proportion as the routes so established are protracted by their circuitousness, the scale of taxation is unfairly enhanced by the comparative defectiveness in this respect of d io course of communication in different parts of th e United Kingdom." The mail was first conveyed by stage coact m on the 2d of August, 1785. In the year 1789 no less than 30,0001. was added to tho reventi;: by the establishment of mail coaches, * Clear produce, after defraying all tl)e expenses of Departments. The Irish Post,otfice yields in addition, 250,0001. per annum. The total amount of money laid out in Boston market in the purchase of corn daring the fait month, is 47,218/. 12s. ! Several very extensive failures in the corn trade, in the West Riding, were spoken of last we-k. Speculation has been the cause of the misforttrne. parties are greatly respected. —.l,el Packet.
