POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M A 1 4 1SION.H OUSE. Yesterday a young man of very respectable ap pearance and connections in the city of London, was finally examined upon the charge of having em bezzled the sum of 511. 55., the property of. Mr. John Hubbard, of Norwich. The property of which the prosecutor is minus, in consequence of the strong reliance which he placed in the pri soner's integrity, was said to be between 1,0001. and 1,1001., but no other than the case mentioned below was gone into upon this occasion. Mr. Hubbard stated that he resided in Norwich, where he is in extensive business, and that he had a warehouse at No. 34, King-street, Cheapside, the rent and whole expences of which were paid by him. The prisoner, Archibald Thompson, had been some time in his employment, at a salary of 1501. a-year, and it was the prisoner's business to sell the goods manufactured by him at the warehouse in King-street. It was the duty of the prisoner, too, to pay over and remit all sums of money or bills which he should receive in the course of business to the prosecutor. It occurred that the prisoner re ceived for a parcel of goods which he sold a bill for 51/. 55., which was accepted by Mr. Joseph Vickers, in March, 1829. The prosecutor applied to the prisoner for the amount of the parcel, and the answer was, that it should be paid in as soon as it was received. The bill was, however, never re mitted, and no account of the business done, or the sums of money received, by the prisoner, up to the 31st of March, had been delivered in. No mention was made of the bill at all by the prisoner after lie had received it. The prosecutor thought the goods were enumerated in the bill of parcels, and had no doubt that the goods produced were those which had been purchased with the bill in question. Mr. Joseph Vickers purchased a parcel of goods of the prisoner in January, 1829, and the prisoner drew a bill upon him, which was dated the Ist of March, and which witness accepted, and returned to him. The bill was duly paid, and was now pro duced, as well as the parcel of goods delivered by the prisoner. Mr. Richard Ladell, of No. 88, Wading -street, warehouseman, deposed that the bill produced, drawn by Archibald Thompson upon, and accepted by, Joseph Vickers, was discounted by witness. The prisoner was assisted by Mr. Charles Phil lips and Mr. Wooler. Mr. Phillips endeavoured to show that the ac counts were so complicated, that it was impossible to discover an intentional fraud. _ . The LORD MAYOR said he considered the case one which ought certainly to be sent to a Jury, and committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. It was mentioned that the prisoner was not by any means an extravagant young- man, and that the allowance from the house was quite sufficient to meet his private expenses. He had, however, been on several instances prevailed upon to lend money, of which he had a command, to acquaintances, who deceived him. In one instance, he was induced to lend a considerable sum to a fellow, who, as soon as he got hold of it, decamped to America. BONY-STREET. Yesterday William Newman, driver of a Dover coach, called the Eagle, was brought before Mr. HALLS, charged with having driven against Charles Bennett, a corporal first Regiment of Foot Guards. The complaint was preferred by desire of Captain Vernon, who commands the battalion to which the corporal belongs. Corporal Bennett stated that he was crossing Parliament street at the head of his company, on Saturday evening about eight o'clock, when the de fendant, who was driving a Dover coach in the direction of Charing-cross, drove against him. While the coach was approaching witness called to the defendant to pull up, but instead of doing so he whipped his horses with more violence, and if he (witness) had not stepped back he should hale been run over. Witness seized hold of one of the leaders in order to stop the coach, but the defend ant drove on, and he was obliged to relinquish his hold, - - - The defendant, who appears to be a civil respect able man, in answer to the charge, assured the magistrate that the whole was the result of acci slant. Having accidently committed a wrong, he was willing to apologize, if that would satisfy the complainant. The Serjeant, who accompanied the corporal, said ha bad no authority to accept an apology. Mr. H A LLS then suggested that a communication should be made to the commanding officer, and the iierjeant having retired for that purpose, returned with a note, addressed to the Magistrate by Cap tain Vernon. MC, HALLS having read the note, said that Cap tain Vernon declined accepting an apology, and sug gested that the defendant should be fined. The defendant was accordingly called upon for Sureties to meet the charge elsewhere; but Mr. HALLS observed, that as he had acted before him with great propriety, he (lid not wish him to be tinder restraint until his bail came forward. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Mary Webb and John Atkins were brought before Mr. MARRIOTT, charged on suspi cion of being accesory to the following robbery : The prosecutor, a fashionably dressed gentleman, who appeared to be still labouring under the effects of the previous night's debauch, stated that his name was John Hearn, and that he was a merchant. He arrived in London on the previous day from Bath, in consequence of the arrival of a ship from Van Dieman's Land, in which he was concerned, and had taken up his residence at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden. In the evening he chanced to meet with a girl of the town, and she persuaded him to accompany her to her lodgings in Union-court, Or. chard-street, where he was robbed of all his clothes except his shirt and stockings, a valuable pebble snuff-box, his pocket-book, containing twenty-nine sovereigns, and notes and bills of exchange to the amount of 160/., together with his banker's book and sundry memorandums; and he was forced to walk home through the streets quite undressed. Harris, the constable at St. Margaret's watch house, stated that early in the morning Mr. Hearn carne to the watch-house, with nothing on but his shirt, stockings, and boots., and gave information of the manner in which he had been robbed. Wit ness went with him to the house, No. 10, Union court, and found the prisoners in the house, and took their into custody. He found none of the property. The pa -:;soners were ordered to be remanded. It is confident::; rumoured that soon after the new Police Act comes frit° action the Bow-street office will be abolished.—Morning 41drertiser. A dreadful accident happened yesterday morn ing about five o'clock, a little below the Penitentiary, - Milbank, and to which three persons in the prime of life have fallen victims. Three young men, named CoLLINs, Joists, and TATE, inhabitants of Lambeth, had gone to Milbank for the purpose of bathing, when, after they had been about half an hour in the water, one of the young men, in attempting to swim, got out of his depth, and in stantly called out for assistance ; the other two immedi ately went to his rescue, when, melancholy to relate, they all perished. Several watermen instantly pulled to the place, and they succeeded in finding the three bodies, which were fast locked in each other's ;rms. An inquest was held on the bodies yesterday morning, at the Camden Arms, Alillbank. The first witness examined was WI LIA Ross, who deposed that he was a waterman, piy f ng at Lambeth ; that that morning, about a quarter past four, he was going to the Red-house, Rattergea, with some goods, and agreed to take the deceased youths as far us the Pe nitentiary, Milibank, where they expressed their intention of bathing; and lie was to take them upon his return home ; on his return, however, he found they were drowned. Another waterman deposed that he heard them cry for assistance, but when he arrived at the spot he could find no traces of them ; he, however, with the as sistance of some other watermen, found the bode imbed ded in the mud, and fast locked in each other's arms. No other evidence was adduced, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." It is rather curious that one of the young men (Jomrs, we believe) narrowly escaped the same fate only a fortnight since; h e h a d t w i ce sunk, when a waterman came to his assistance, and suc ceeded in saving him. ( 0 4 nu. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1829. We received late this afternoon the following : ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 29.—The Emperor has ad dressed the following rescript to Count Diebitsch : " I have received the report by which you give me an account of the victory you gained on the 11th June, near Shumla, over the army of the Grind Vizier, in consequence of which the greater part of the Turkish force has been entirely dispersed, after losing its numerous at tillery, with all its camp, baggage, and ammunition. " The honour of the brilliant and complete success of our arms belongs chiefly to you. You concealed your plans and your movements from the enemy, inspired him with confidence to risk the battle, and triumphed over all his efforts to avoid the decisive blow which you had prepared to strike. " As a testimony of my gratitude for so signal a service, I nominate you Knight of the Order of St. George of the Second Class, the insignia of which I send you. To pre serve the memory of the glory which eur troops have gained, under your command, in this memorable battle, I authorise you to choose six of the cannon taken in this battle, of which I make you a present. " I desire you to thank in my name your brave com rades and all the troops, who in this battle gave freMh proofs of their intrepidity, and I remain ever yours, " Warsaw, June 21. " N ICHOL A S." By an ukase of the same date addressed to the Senate his Majesty has conferred the dignity of Count of the Empire on General Baron Toll, and, in a letter of the same date to the General, has informed him of this new favour, conferred as a recompense for his services in the late battle. TIFLIS, JUNE 4.—Prince Chosrew Mirza set out to-day for St. Petersburgh, with his suite. Count Paskewitsch arrived on the 31st of May at the camp near the fortress of Akhalkalaki, and expressed to Major-General Mou ri,ff his entire satisfaction at the perfect order in which be found the troops. NACUE, Juvr I4.—We learn upon respectable autho rity, that news had been received at Mayence on the 4th of July, that the Governments of Prussia and the Nether lands have at length agreed respecting the free navigation of the Rhine. The fall of Silistria may now be considered as beyond a doubt, for we find by official news from the Theatre of War that it was expected to sur render on the 29th of June. The works of the beseigers had been carried into the very ditches. Shu►nla was also expected to be carried by Gen. DIEBITSCH, as the garrison was very weak : NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, JULY 10. TULCZYN, JULY 3.—The last accounts from the army state that one of the out-works of Silistria has been taken by storm, en which occasion five standards fell into the hands of the conquerors. The works of the besiegers had been carried into the ditches of the fortress, and it was expected that it would capitulate on the 29th June. BRUSSELS, JULY 12.-A British Cabinet Messenger passed through this city yesterday evening on his way from London, with despatches for Vienna and Constantinop►e. Letters from distinguished houses in Paris say that it is believed there that the Government and the Bank of France have the means of realising the plan of reducing the Five per Cents, and that they are firmly resolved to execute it, being fully assured of the necessity of reducing the expenditure when there is a falling off in the revenue. JASSY, JUNE 24. Sevtral corps of the Imperial Guard are expected here about the middle of July, which have hitherto been cantoned at Tulczyn and in the environs. To judge by the large magazines which are formed here, these corps will remain a considerable time in our city. We hope the Emperor will also visit us, but we neither know when his Majesty will arrive, nor how long he will remain among us. VIENNA, JULY 4.—Letters from Odessa, of 22d June say, that every precaution had been taken to secure the in habitants against the contagion which afflicts the princi palities. The sanitary state both of the town and the crews of the ships in the harbour was perfectly satis- factory. FRONHERS OF WALLACHIA, JUNE 19.—From the Nuremberg wrier of Peace and War.—The works of the besiegers before Silistria approach very near to the town, though the besieged make sallies almost every night. It is affirmed that Count Pahlen intends to make a di%er• sion with a corps from Silistria against Rudshuk, in order to support a corps sent by General Giestnar from Little Wallachia against that place ; the Turks in Rudahuk and Ghuergero, have began to remove their families and effects to Widdin, which is a proof that they do not consider themselves safe in those places ; above twenty barks with fugitives have already ascended the Danube. The fear . of contagion prevailing in Bucharest and all Wall t !Ana is in no wise diminished, the number of the sick rather Increases. The malady is particularly great at lbrailow ; General Kisselew, who was at Bucharest a fortnight ago, hag ri.ttgrned to his corps before Ghuergevo, and several other Russian Generals and officers have received orders to repair to their posts. On the 17th the Divan (at Bucl c rest) discussed the question of the erection of new hospitals, The English Consulate is closed, some say on account of the contagion, others in consequence of affronts offered to the English Consul by a Russian authority. JASSY, JUNE 17.—The news of the victories of the Russian troops have caused general joy here, and our hopes of a speedy termina tion of the war are revived. For Shnml.;, which a few week s a g o was held to be impreg nable, will, perhaps, pot be able to resist long after the de feat of the grand shier, that is, if i General Diehitsch thinks of attacking it, as the garrison is said to amount to only 4,000 Arnuuts, !sodinhahaants able ;o bear arms to no more than 5,000. We are, therefore, !inpatient for the farther operations of' the Russian army, whose attacks on Silistria and Rudschuk are now exposed to fewer obstacles, and flatter ourselves that after the fall of Shurnla, which would produce a great effect in Constantinople, peace will soon be signed. The demands of Russia are said to be by no means exorbitant, and to relate less to an _indemnification for the_expnces -of _the war, than the security of the Russian navigation of the Black Sea, on the basis of the treaty of Akermann. The Turkish fortresses and forts in Asia Minor will probably not be restored. The Principalities, we hope, would inertly obtain a greater degree of independence. It is generally affirmed that the Emperor has declared that Russia requires no addition of territory in Europe, and that he wishes to avoid every thing that may tend to dis putes ; the assertion, that negociations for peace are already commenced, is probably premature. VIENNA, JULY 4.—Metalliques, ; Bank Shares 1,110. .By his Majesty's packet Spey, arrived from Jamaica with a mail, we have received Papers from that island to the 10th of June, and from Carthagena. These confirm the account of the renewal of the dispute between Colombia and Peru, occasioned by the refusal of the latter to deliver up Guayaquil, and ratify the Treaty made by General LANIAR. A skirmish had taken place, it was said, to the advantage of Colombia. BOLIVAR had arrived at Bogota, and was soon to proceed to the Northern Provinces on a tour of observation, and would then proceed to the South of Colombia, and settle the Peruvian affair. These Papers also furnish us with the following important Proclamation : IT HIS EXCELLENCY, STEWART, GOVERNOR OF ST. " LUCIA, MAJOR GENERAL, &C. " Whereas, his Majesty, taking into his gracious conside ration the loyalty and good conduct of persons of free con dition of African birth and descent, inhabiting the Island of St. Lucia, and having considered the restriction under which they laboured by virtue of laws passed previous to the session of the Island, has been pleased by his Order in Council, issued at the Court of Windsor, on• the 15th January last, to order that all laws and all edicts or ordi nances having the force and effect-of laws at any time heretofore promulgated within the Island, whereby free persons of African birth or descent were subjected to any disabilities or restrictions to which other free persons in habiting the said Island were not subject, should be, and the same were repealed and for ever annulled and cancelled. " The Governor doth hereby announce and promulgate such, his Majesty's pleasure, and therefore all such lawn, all edicts and ordinances whatever are declared to have been by the said Order in Council repealed and for ever an nulled and cancelled. " The Governor is assured that the parties in whose favour this order has been issued will short by their future conduct, and by their readiness and zeal in coining for ward without distinction of class for the maintenance of order, as they have hitherto done, that they entertain a due sense of the King's gracious regard for them. (Signed) "By Order of his Excellency, " J. TENCH, Government Secretary." The portentous 12th of July passed off with unexpected tranquillity in Dublin and its neigh bourhood. There was scarcely even an attempt made to disturb the public peace ; no show, no absurd—if it be not worse—display of Orange ribands; the city was peaceful and discreet, and for the first time, we believe, since the Restora- tion, seemed to know what best became its dig nity and character. Much of this orderly be haviour, is owing, no doubt, to a returning spirit of good sense among the citizens ; much to the late exemplary conduct of the Catholics ; but much—much more to the desponding and maudlin feelings of the Dublin Corpora tion. This once active and formidable junta has, since the passing of the Relief Bill, been reduced to comparative insignificance. Their Reign of Terror is over; the hope of another 98, when the triangle and the torture should be again in active operation, has ceased to be uppermost in their imaginations; they have learnt the bitter truth, that their supremacy, ike the Ichabod of the Jews, has departed from them. It would be scarcely fair to take for granted—seeing that the results have been so satisfactory—that these civic Brunswickers made the usual preparations for keeping alive the old prejudices of the 12th. In the North, how ever, it was far otherwise ; in that aristocratic and prejudiced quarter, it is a positive fact that the most incendiary appeals were put forth ; money was transmitted from a quarter where any thing rather than money would have been expected to come from ; recruits raised ; threats—promises-- persuasions—each in their turn had recourse to ; and all for the poor, the paltry purpose of pro voking the Catholics to retaliation. But these last have luckily been too well tutored, to be gulled by so clumsy a decoy. They have felt and still feel, the vast political power that never fails to grow out of a temperate and united conduct ; they have seen that their Emancipation was ensured by it ; and more gratifying from the want of it, their dogmatic Ora n g e op pressors have been reduced to a state bord erin g on absolute imbecility. s till, that Such, without exaggeration, is the present condition of the more determined among the Irish Brunswickers. Many of them are in the autumn of life, but that period, usually so mel low, so composing, so full of intellectual fruition, has had no power to destroy, or even to assuage, the stormy passions of their manhood—these still survive, and in many instances that we could mention, have, within the last few months, been let loose in all their ferocity (aided a nd abetted by some high but characterless personages in England) though fortunately without the power of convulsing and desolating the North. The French Papers do riot contain any news from the seat of war ; but there is some observa tion made on the sojourn of the Emperor of RUSSIA at Berlin, and a denial of the declara tion imputed to him by the Nuremburg Corres pondent on that occasion. The burden of that EMPEROR'S ex tremedeclaration m od wasmoderation , at o a usual—the attilesa me time th a t he in- sisted on having every thing he originally set out with in proclaiming. When the news of the victory obtained by General DIEBITSCI{ had been brought to the EMPEROR, h e i s sa id, in the largeness of his soul, to have exclaimed, " Now Europe will-see that lam a man of honour." This is apparently very magnanimous, but awakens a suspicion that the EMPEROR himself had entertained some private doubts on the subject before. For ourselves we shall trust his honour when there is nothing for his mode ration to take. We have advices from Curnoa of the llt of vtJune, by w hi c h w e le a rn that after se ral attempts it was found impossible to heave (limn his Majesty's ship the Barham, in order tq be repaired. The Barham is a heavy ship, hafing been cut down from a large seventy-four. 1 In the endeavour to heave her clown, the purchases, outrigging, and shrouds gave way ; but fresh ex ertions were making to accomplish the purEose. Her main keel and starboard streak are clarna f ged, so that she must be keel out to repair before she could venture with any prospect of safety to Ipare the port. The Shannon frigate was attempting to get the Barham's guns up, which it was found ne cessary to heave overboard in order to lighten her. The Ranger and Espiegle were at iCu racoa assisting the Barham. We are happy to add that thakflicers and Ship's Company of the Barham, and indeed of the whole squadron, were healthy. Commander THORNE was posted into the Magnificent, and Mr. Louis, midship man, son of Sir JOHN Louis, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on a death vacancy. The Jamaica Courant, of the 9th June, states that a British vessel, whose name they had not learnt, though their information is almost official, has been detained by a Colombian cruizer, and carried into Panama, under the pretext that she had traded beyond her license, by having called in at the Pearl Islands. This pretext failing, the Colombian asserted that she had ille gally imported tobacco ; but this charge being also groundless, the Colombian Captain then fell in love with a gun and some cordage of the trader, which• being refused, he continued to de tain her. In the mean time, some Peruvian vessels of war suddenly appeared, and seized the British vessel, contending that she was a lawful prize. The owner of the British vessel and cargo, as well as the Underwriters at Lloyd's, have thus lost considerably. His MAJESTY arrived at St. James's Palace this day about two o'clock, in a travelling carriage and four. The Recorder of London is in attendance, and will make his Report of the 29 convicts under sentence of death in Newgate. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwixErz o'CLocr.. The many reports which prevailed late yesterday afternoon have entirely vanished this morning, and Consols, which left off yesterday at 89-1- 1 for the account, opened at the same price, since which they have been done at S9l, and 891 for the August ac count. . The Jamaica Mail has arrived, which sailed on the 10th June; the following is posted at the North and South American Coffee-house : (From the Jamaica Courant of the 9th June.) The packet acounts from Carthagena give some news of interest ; the peace between Colombia and Peru had not been completed, for in defiance of the treaty of Tarqui the city of Guayaquil still held out, and a skirmish had taken place to the advantage, it is said, of Colombia. Bolivar had arrived at Bogota; he was soon to proceed to the Northern provinces, on a tour of observation, and on his return to Bo gota was to remedy the evils of his country and its foreign and domestic policy ; afterwards he was to proceed to the South of Colombia, and finally settle the Peruvians. The refreshing showers of rain which we have experienced since Monday last have already raised the expectations of the planters, and we hope we may congratulate our fellow Colonists upon the prospect of good crops ; the rains have been gene ral throughout the island. . We understand that Mr. Miller, formerly of Spanish Town, but now a resident of Carthagena, and a prisoner in the gaol of that city, is shortly to be brought to trial before the Colombian Tribunal, under a charge of alloying gold bars with base metal, and aiding in passing them. A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at Ja maica and its vicinity about twe)ve minutes before 12 o'clock on Friday last. Received by the French Mail this morning : A letter from Brest of the Bth July states, that the English frigate, Set ingapatam, had arrived in the above roads . ; she is destined for the Brazils, and is going to take on board the Consul General, for Rio Janeiro; the Royal Marine there is entirely inactive. Letters from Constantinople of the 18th June say that they expect the arrival there of Sir Sidney Smith, who is to assist in the Naval Councils. The Ottoman forces at present are said to consist of 300,000 men, they are daily organizing new regiments. The Foreign market as yet is ent►rely void of in terest, and prices are nominally as yesterday. TWO O'CLOCK Consols have been done in the course of the morning at 89,1 and 898 fur August account, and the Commissioners paid 891; at present they may b e quoted at 898 I, and 891 for next ti me . Accounts in the French papers state that a battery a t Gibraltar fired three guns, loaded with balls, at a Russian corvette belonging to the Russian squadron in the Mediterranean. The accounts from Constantinople state, that since the 25th of May 24 ships had arrived, laden with provisions, therefore there was no further fear of a scarcity of that article in the capital. PARIS, JULY 13.—The letters and papers received from Madrid and Lisbon do not bring any fresh in formation. Charleston Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-houge, eight days' later, to the 17th of June. DETROIT, MAY 28.—1 t is computed that about 1,100 passengers have been landed at this port since the 10th instant; they are nearly all settlers. In the Foreign Market they are busy in deliver i„g and paying accounts, consequently very little business is going forward.

This morning a General Court of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was held in the Bank Parlour. The Governor, accompanied by the Deputy-Governor, and most of the Directors, entered the Court at 12 o'clock. The Secretary read the minutes of the last Coutt, which embreced the proceedings taken on the election of the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Court of Directors, to serve during the current year. The GOVERNOR moved that the minutes be confirmed, and said that this meeting was called pursuant to the terms of the charter, and that as there was no business before it he moved an adjournment.—Carried.

These Sessions commenced this morning before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, Sheriffs, and City Officers. The presiding Judges are Mr. Justice BußßouGit and Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE. Bridget Delany, aged 28, was indicted for steal ing a gold watch, value 2.5/., and other articles, the property of Lady Anne. Bentinck ; and Ann Delany, aged 69, for receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. The prisoners are mother and daughter. Lady Anne Bentinck was examined from the Bench—Her Ladyship stated the younger prisoner was in her service, and detailed other circumstances connected with the robbery, but in so low a tone of voice we could scarcely hear a word her Ladyship said. Henry Goddard, an officer of 'Marlborough-street Police-otlice, stated that he was sent for to Lady Bentinck's house on the 2d July. He saw there had been an attempt to open the street door with a false key. The witness then went iato a statement of facts connected with the robbery and apprehen sion of the prisoners, the younger of whom, at the time she was taken into custody, acknowledged having stolen the property ; and that her mother and the footman of a gentleman in the neighbourhood, had secreted it. The particulars of this case having appeared in our police reports within the last few days, it is unnecessary to give a detailed report. -- Ballard, another officer, produced several articles of . valuable jewellery and a large quantity of wearing apparel, which he found at the residence of the elder prisoner, in Kendal-street, Marylebone, the whole of which Lady Bentinck identified as her pro perty. The prisoners said nothing in their defence. Mr. Justice BURROUGII was about to sum up, when the Jury said it was unnecessary ; they were quite satisfied of the prisoners' guilt, and returned a verdict of Guilty. Lady Bentinck recommended the younger prisoner to mercy, on account of the ample confession she made of the robbery. The Jury joined in the re commendation, and wished it also to be extended to the elder prisoner, as they did not think she was an old offender. Joseph Henderson, aged 26, and James Wilson, aged 32, were capitally indicted for stealing twenty sheep, value 301., the property of Henry Vigne, Esq, The prosecutor stated that he resided at Wal thamstow ; on the night of the 2d of July twenty sheep were stolen out of a field belonging to him. A great number of witnesses were called to prove the manner in which the prisoners disposed of the sheep. - Flitcroft (better known by the name of " Lancaster Jack") an accomplice, was admitted as evidence. He stated that he went to Whitechapel market on thezd of July, where he met the two prisoners. Henderson told him he had some sheep just brought from the country, and offered him a recompence if he would drive them to Lea Bridge, to which he agreed. They then went into a fields and Henderson pointed out some sheep which he said was his. Witness and Wilson then took out of the field 20 sheep, which were finally drove to No. 9, White's-row, Spitalfields. Henderson left them after they took the sheep, but joined them again before they arrived at White's-row. The sheep were afterwards slaughtered tend sold in differ ent places. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS —Was called Lancashire Jack, on account of his coming from Lancashire. Was never charged with sheep-steal ing in that county ; was charged with forgery, and obliged to leave that part of the country, but had since paid the money. lie had on several other occasions been charged with offences, but he was not guilty of them. He had lived in London seven years, but was never in Newgate. _ not know that his wife was in prison ; had not seen her for several months. It was for the sake of public justice that he came forward as evidence for the prosecution; he was turned away from his last place for getting drunk, and neglecting his work. The prisoners in their defence, said all that Flit croft had sworn against them was'false. Several witnesses gave Henderson a good cha- Did racter. Mr. Justice PARKE summed up, and the Jury found Henderson Guilty, and acquitted Wilson. THE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY). HAY 11l A RKETS.—( At per Load of 36 Trusses.) ST. JAMES'S.

Tir , T I i LAW INTELLIGENCE.=-(THIS DAY.). COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF POTTINGER, A BANKRUPT., The LORD CHANCELLOR was. engaged in IS petitions in this matter till , mid-day, wh e n he the Court to attend the Recorder's report to WO this day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. IMPORTANT MERCANTILE DECISION.—BROOKSIAS ROTHSCHILD. The VICE-CHANCELLOR proceeded, on .taking l: seat, to give judgment, as appointed in this es'. It appears (said his Honour) that the Plaintiff t i in the month of May, 1818, entitled t o 20,0u 1 French rentes, and there was some sort of commit', cation between him and the d e fend a nt, M r . BPI; child, who carries on business in this country, so° also a partner with his brother in Paris, carrying,' business there under the fi r m o f R o thselti Brothers, and Co. It is represented that th plaintiff was induced, by a letter written by the fendant, to give an order for the sale of the Fre t. rentes. It does not appear to me to be very ea r vial for the purpose of determining what relief plaintiff is entitled to ascertain, whether or net . plaintiff did give the order in pursuance of the red' mendation of the defendant,but I must state as a to' ter of fact, because it appears to me to corgi' the character of the defendant, dint the letter reps' sented as a recommendation of the sale is not.a let!, entitled to such a character. The fair construct ° ' of that letter is, that it recommends a sale of pet it the French rentes, leaving it to the discretion of plaintiff to say what part should be sold. The! fendant writes a letter in answer on the 240 11 : May, requesting a sale of part, Upon the rec eipt,' which the defendant does sell, a s he re p re s en ts,: whole of the 20,000 French rentes. On.the following the defendant writes al letter to P . plaintiff, which appears to me. to be a direct 111 : plain representation that Mr;Rothschild had, whatever 0 1 e w t , te i r t a o p f p t e h a e rs 2 a 4 s t a h, f m ae a t, d et that t l b e i : but that Mr. Rothschild took the 20,000 Fre pursuance u O n a o rentes. o ac sa e the ew f i er of the 20,000 French reot v e rentes to himself, giving credit to the defendant; 11,0001. and a fraction, which woult be the pi of the rentes at the price quoted in the defendst': letter, and invested that 11,0001. and a fraction: Prussian bonds. New, the first question upon t' t case is, whether that transaction, with regard to t' French rentes, shall stand ? A n d my d e libet e , opinion upon that transaction is, that it oughtf; to stand; because, independently of th e qu est' whether there was more or l ess o f con fident o agency on the part of Mr. Rothschild, the very le,l' that can be said on the case is, that M r . Rothsolt was an agent to sell, by the receipt of a letter at 24th May, and his determination to act upon it. , conceive, therefore, it was his bounden duty sell in the sense of selling to a third per and not to take to himself the French rel. giving the plaintiff credit for them—and from appears on the face o f th e d e f en d ant ' s a nso 4 ; I am bound to admit that to be the price of the rentes on that day. It appears fro answer that he had another transaction keyed; French stock on that very day, and th a t h e sold, I think, a parcel of French stock at a less P 1 than that which he took to himself, in respect taking to himself the plaintiff's 20,000 rentes. the general principle which this Court has al o l ' acknowledged and applied must b e ma i nta i ne d this case, namely, that the . per son w h o i s the eg.,', to sell, if he accept the agency, is b oun d to se ll, 7' is not at liberty to take to himself th e stock, gi'l7l, the party an equivalent for it. It has been F' that if such a construction is put upon this tram` Lion, it will tend to undermine many tr ansac ti o n' taking place in the great hou ses i n L on d on . l` p my opinion is, w h e th er i t d oes so or not , thst,, individual has a right to complain of 'a transaet:" i in which an a gen t d o e s not d o t h at w hi c h be " said he would ,do, and, represents he ties done, in a case where he has done quite a differ en t No evidence has been given to me to show such an act as this, which is complained of, is taking place among. the. ;great houses in Lond tt therefore I must consider it only as a speculative' gument unfounded on f ac t. • It appears from oi i, the plaintiff states in his , that in point Of ' h i there were 14,000/. in Prussian bonds purchased , : cause he himself states, that in the months of 5 `,1 tember and October, 1818,14,0001. P russ i an boo were delivered to hi m; an d o f th ose 14,t" bonds it must be t a k en , th a t th e plats t' some way disposed of 12,000/. No complaio' made of the 12,0001. of b on d s , an d t h ere i s 10 1 ,, e ; press statement of the ci rcumstances w hi c h a tt end , two of those bonds of the 14,0001. appeer',„ me, that upon this transaction the plaintiff en ri d fr at his option to have the present p r i ce o f . 20,r, French rentes, or to have that amount ofi e ntes' vested in his name; he r e p a yi ng to t h e d e f en d the 11,000/. and a fraction, the sum with which was credited on account with Mr. Rothschild; I think he must re p ay t h at w i t h 5 per cent. i nte r ( sif e i Prussianef June, bloBndlBs., thelt appears The next part of thi s case re l ates to t h e purc b a sB some the plaintiff t o purc h ase some P russ i an b on d s , defendant ppe eo arstbraetamraeti about month o t , b . that he a gree d to purc h ase f rom Mr. RotWal 40,0001. o f P russ i an b on d s at 8 2, 5 ,0 001 . at and 5,0001. at 81 per cent. For the Priol bonds, however, the plaintiff was not able to JA, and the effect of the transaction was that the P i r o ' of the bo n d s s h ou ld b e a d van ced by th e d e fer s r to the plaintiff, the plaintiff giving his promies' note for the amount. The transaction was can t • on according to this understanding, because th t was a purchase made—apparently made 1 ,, 50,000/. Prussian bonds, for which the br ° i ) made out a charge, I think, of 41,6004, and 1, plaintiff gave his cheque to the broker , 0 that sum. There is a little difference in the a' rent statements of the figures ; 'but that is imm terial just now, as my object is more to give o principle of adjustment than any thing else. plaintiff then gave his promissory note to the defe', ant for the 41,000/. and a fraction. His Honour l A , went through the enumeration of a series of trao r t , Lions in which it appeared that the plaintiff had P it chased several amounts of bonds, and borrowed of t defendant 8,500/. and 4,200/., for which he gov e , o promissory notes, and d e p os it e d- w i t h t h e 'defenutly as a security for the p a y m e n t, 11,0004, and 6 r () 4 'in Prussian b on d s .

With ', I. produce the promissory notes f or 41,0001. 011 ,4 fraction, arid 85,0001. were cancelled, but the for the 4,000/. and a fraction remained; but ti they deposit, greater than covered the 4,000/. 1 made : this was lik ew i se so ld , t h e note can ce l ) and the surplus accounted for to the plaintiff. tt was observable that no money pass'ed from plaintiff in the first instance ; and the only 0 ,, e 4 which h e h a d stiffened an injury was iq Fr ; having b een compe ll e d tq pqy the diffe re' a l , between th e p r i ce o f t h e 50 , 0001 .0 f P russ i an IP O ' O and the p r i ce at w hi c h t h e depos i ts were ' d and which ultimately discharged the promis s .4 notes.

Now I appre`jtl it was absolutely necessary, in order to su pport transaction, that there should have been a bona 1 1 . purchase of the 50,0001. bonds; but I think it pears most distinctly, from what the defendant it self rep resents, t h at t h ere was no such bon a purchase. I think there ought to have been 13 0 lection of the 50,0001. bonds, an appropriation o , a transfer of the numbers of the bonds to the P tiff. I take it to be perfectly clear that there e no purchase at all, arid that therefore, from the e of this transaction, the plaintiff has a right to b) lieved, upon the plain principle in equity
