TOWN-HALL. Robert Bristow, the bookseller in the London-road, who was held to bail yesterday by Sir John Perring, fur selling indecent publications, was this morning brought up in custody from the Borough Coinpter to plead to an infor mation lodged by Thomas Rnbett Morley, for vending a set tain publication, entitled The Economy of Love, with out either the printer or publisher's name being on the last page, contrary to the statute. The defendant pleaded strongly for clemency an mitiga tion of the penalty on account of his youth and ignorance. He was willing to give up the whole of his objectionable stock, and enter into securities to be no more found offending. Mr. Howell, for the parish of St. George, was ready to forego the prosecution on those terms, if the penalty was paid. Sir JOHN PERRINO animadverted in just terms on the necessity of prosecutions like the present ; it was a public consideration : he was sorry to s:iy he was informed that the prisoner had greatly aggravated his case by keeping a room in his house for the reception of bad characters, where accommodation was afforded, calculated to extend the mischief for which he was very properly proceeded against. The prisoner who, by the way, blew hot and cold in the same breath, assured Sir John the room had been shut ti n marl) , a month ; and on Mr. Crisp's suggestion, was ad mitted the benefit of his plea, and convicted in the miti gated penalty of 10/. and costs, and to enter into his own rerognizaiices of 100/., which was done, and the whole of the books given up to Kinsey, the officer, and burnt ; the prisoner urging that the publisher, Mr. Duncombe, ought, in justice, to come in for his share of punishment, as the original publisher and tempter.

Last night a letter was received in town from Newcastle, which stated that she had been recognized in that city, assailed with every epithet of obloquy and abhorrence, and to all appear ance, would certainly have fallen a victim to popular in dignation, had not a strong party of police arrived to her rescue. After she had been detained for some time, she was escorted to the " Blue Stone," the boundary of the two counties, and handed over to a party of the Durham police, who were in waiting to receive the detested fugitive. —Scotsman. A pedlar was killed by- the Lincoln Express coach going over him, near Bourn, about five o'clock on Sunday morning. The coach was going about eight mile', an hour, heavily laden, and received a considerable shock by going over the body : one of the wheels passed over the shoulder : the sufferer moaned once or twice, but died in a few minutes after being laid on the top of the coach. No blame is imputable to the coachman. An inquest was held on the body at Bourn work-house, on Monday, by Samuel Edwards, Gent. coroner, when the verdict return ed was, that death had been occasioned in part by the in jury received from the coach, and partly from a natural cause, the deceased being known to have been for a long time in a very diseased state.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. There comes out a lame kind of reply to our charge against the London anti-Catholic pres 3 of being hired and paid by the Brunswick Club of Ire land to adopt its present villainous course. It is as serted in reply, that we (the Times) are or have been bribed or hired, &c. &c. We have not the least objection to an accusation of this kind, because being of necessity known to most of the public men in Europe,—to say nothing of America and the East,—there is not one of them who does not know this charge to be false, even to derision. The ac cuser, therefore, if such a person can be disgraced, is disgraced by the falsehood. With respect to the Courier, that journal, we will frankly say, did not enter into our contemplation : it had better, there fore, hold its tongue. But in another evening paper a letter has been published, signed " John Judkin Butler," which gives to our statement " the most express and unquald contradiction." It is very odd, but we were going to say a word or two to this very Mr. John Judkin Butler (whom, by the way, we knew to be in England), if he had not thrust himself forward to catch the fall ing blessing ;—we were going to ask whether he and a certain Captain had not been sent over to this country with placards of the most violent kind, call ing upon our tranquil population to resist by force, if necessary, the intended measures for the relief of the Catholics ? And we were also going to ask him, at whose expense be made the journey to Lou don, and now remains in this capital ? The ques tions may extend to the Captain, too, whom we shall not name, except he shall likewise thrust him self forward, and, like Mr. John Judkin Butler, chal lenge publicity. ,A word as to Mr. John Judkin Butler's contradiction of our charge. We do not impute to him falsehood in that contradiction, but we rather admire his address, and we shall tell h:ni a story, of which his conduct reminds us. A cer tain Mahometan is brought before a Turkish Cadhi, charged with having,by violence, robbed of his purse a foreign merchant, in the main street of Para. The evidence was clear : a respectable man swore by his beard that lie saw the robbery committed, the merchant knocked down, the purse tern from his bosom, and the thief flying to a place of refuge. An accomplice, however, is brought forward, who, though an accomplice, is as incapable as the former witness of violating the obligation of an oath sworn by his sacred beard. He had heard Cie whole state ment made to the Court, took it in the gross, and " gave it his express and unqualified contradiction." Yet was this man not forsworn—and why ? Because the evidence of the accusing witness was not all true. The Turkish language, like ours, admits of an equivoque. The thief, after committing the robbery, did not fly to a place of refuge—lie only ran! ! ! of this nature, the public may depend on it, is Mr. Judkin Butler's contradiction in gross. The essen tials of our statement we too well know to be .true. Times. 'We are glad to perceive 'from the Leeds Inte geacer, a Tory Paper, that the people of Yorkshire and Lancashire have too !much good sense to be led away by the nonsensical raliiiigs of factious and crack-brained Peers, and are disposed to place con fidence in the Administration. We were sure the North of England would exhibit a marked contrast to Devon and Somerset, and the Wealds of Kent. Of course the evidence of a Paper which has al ways been on the side of the Church party is, in a matter of this sort, unimpeachable evidence. `i We can now state," says this Paper, " that the effect produced upon the public by the measures in con templation of Government agrees, to a certain de gree, wi►h our anticipations and wishes. Among some they have caused intense excitement; by all they are viewed with deep and anxious interest. — With the exception, however, of the preliminary proceeding; adopted by the Leeds Brunswick Club, and the meeting held in York on Tuesday, we are not aware that any active steps have as yet been taken in this Fart of the country to bring into play the hatred And dread of Roman Catholic power tv;th which almost the whole community are natu rally imbued. ludeed, except at York, we know of no platter in the North (arid we think we toe likely to be among the first to hear of such a thing►) where a general w►sh has manifested itself to oppose th - lie• of Government in amine, and to in- Protestants will deem proper, or we must convince them that it never shall be granted, if we mean to break up a confederacy which has done more to re establish Popery and extirpate the Reformed Reli gion in Ireland, than any other state of things could possibly accomplish. Our aim must be, therefore, not to satisfy the Roman Catholics, but to satisfy and sever from Roman Catholic interests, the whole of the Protestants of the United Kingdom—or we do worse than nothing. This is the only way in which the Question can lie divested. of its political attributes, and reduced to one merely of religion—of Protestantism against Popery; and need we say, that if this separation were effected, our Protestant Constitution is safe in Church and . State ; for against it the gates of Hell alone can never pre vail ?"—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Hume, we - are happy to see, means to take in hand the Insolvent Courts both in England and Ireland (the Scotch, we believe, are too wise to possess one), and the whole subject of Imprison ment for Debt. Whether he will succeed this Ses sion in abolishing or rectifying the one or the other is more than we will venture to surmise; but this we know, that, if this was not the most law-ridden nation in the universe, such an unmitigated and in defensible evil as this system presents could not re main in existence, or rather have existed. In short, ignorance and folly on the one hand, and crime and misfortune on the other, are the fertile sources of profit to that learned body which seems only to thrive in proportion as the rest of the community sink in the scale of prosperity. Of al the profits of the law, that which is derived from insolvency seems to be the most useless and unjustifiable. What our Scotch neighbours denominate a Cessio Bonorum —that is, an honest surrendering up to creditors of what a man's misfortunes or improvidence may have left him—we can comprehend; but that he is first to spend his time and money, as well as consume his health -and morals, in a gaol, and then that a set of Judges, with a whole machinery of law-craft, are to be paid by the country for making no dividends among the creditors—is a species of folly which, we repeat it, none but a law-ridden community would submit to. That a system so manifestly at variance with common sense and common justice and honesty must soon have an end we entertain no doubt; and we think that the country at large will be much in debted to Mr. Hume, even should he not be able to give it its death-blow, if he acts as the pioneer, and forms the mine which others are doomed to spring. We wish, among other things, that Mr. thine may succeed in obtaining returns to Parliament, which may show at CRC view the whole number of persons arrested and imprisoned for debt, of every species and amount, in all parts of the kingdom, for one year. This is a view of the matter which has, we believe, never yet been obtained. The returns from the principal prisons alone:ire appalling enough, but do not show, probably, much more than one-tenth part of the whole evil. Now, suppose, it should turn out—which we very li-tle doubt to be the case— that 100,000 persons are every year the victims, in some share or other, of this system. Suppose, too, that the law-charges amount, in one among the other, to ten pounds each, or one million annually. Here is at once the evil in colours glaring enough, and pretty substantial reasons to boot wily it has so many de fenders ; in short, why the image-makers are so ready to cry out for and defend the great goddess Diana. But what say the creditors out of whose money this enormous sum is paid to the lawyers ? Why they receive not even " the pearly shell," but a dividend of one farthing in the pound through means of the Insolvent Court ! In this - view of the matter we have taken no notice of the disease, the misery, the immorality, and _the death, which follow in the train of this sad satire upon our jurispru dence. These points have been too often dwelt upon and proved in our columns to render their far ther illustration necessary. In short, is there any one good that arises from our system of imprison ment for debt, to mitigate its long and melancholy train of evils We answer unhesitatingly, None. — Morning Herald.

Mr. CONANT here read one of the letters, and said that it most assuredly was, although a well-written letter, of a most scandalous and disgusting character. Mr. Rochfort—Yes, Sir, it is a well-written letter, and evidently by a person of a superior sort of education, and it is much to he regretted that the writer did net apply such advantage to a better purpose. Mr. CONANT—I think the greatest inconvenience aria. ing from an influx of such letters is having to pay the postage of them. I%lr. Roelifort—Oh, that we do not do now, Sir. We now return every letter of the kind to the Post-office : but at first we took in a great many before we well knew how to art, or that we were entitled to get back the post age from the Post-office. Within the last week, however, we have refused several hundreds of letters ; in fact, every letter presented has been refused, and amongst them, some, no doubt, that may be real letters of consequence. Mr. CONANT said, that he had no power of interfering with anonymous writers, nor could he give any advice about the matter beyond recommending the rejection of such letters, as had already been done. " There is another subject," said Mr. Rochfort, "which I wish to mention—namely, that the young girl who pre ferred the charge of assault against the lady whom I ac companied to the office the other day, never intended to make such a charge when she came here in the first in stance ; but as she could not speak English, her object was mistaken. She merely came, as she supposed, to an of fice or court which had the power of recovering small debts as her sole object was to recover a sum for wages, which she imagined to he due to her, and she thuaght she was in an office similar to what is called a ' Bureau de la Pays' in France, for recovering small debts; and she has since admitted this to be the fact, and has signed a document to that effect." Mr. Rochfort here produced a statement, written in English, to the above effect, and signed by the girl Julia Le Toille. Mr. CO ANT asked, if the girl was aware of what she was signin ,, in this statement, as she did ❑ot understand a word of English? Mr. Rochfort said, that she understood it perfectly, fur it was translated for her into her own language. Andrews, the officer, said, that he had met accidentally the day before the person in whose house the girl Julia Le Toiile now lives, and he (Andrews) inquirtd if the girl was going on with the prosecution, and the answer be received was, that she could not go on, for that she had been pre vailed on to sign some paper written in English, which khe did nut understand, and for doing which she was now very sorry, as she was advised not to go before the Grand Jury in consequence. A few days ago a Hanoverian lady was arrested for a debt of 211. at Escudier's Hotel, arid lodged in Whitecross-street _prison. Wilson, the Sheriff's Officer, was the person who executed the warrant, in accomplishing which he was occupied upwards of four hours. The resistance which he met on the part of his prisoner and her two sisters seas so great, that lie was compelled to call in the aid of four or five persons. _ The Hanoverian ladies, th e moment they understood the nature of the officer's business, drew three long-bladed penknives, and the ) , oungest of them declared that she would not survive ,'he dis grace, and thrust her penknife at her side wit." such violence that, if the bones of her stays had not in tercepted it, she must have plunged it into her he Itrt• The alarm of the officer was of course very gre. and it was with the greatest difficulty he succeede. in performing his painful and dangerous duty. In the prison, the lady who had been arrested com plained that she had been treated with greater cruelty than would have been exercised towards her if she had fallen into the hands of the most savage of the Italian Brigands; and her conduct was suck as to excite the greatest possible interest and astonishment. The prison being under the government of the Sheriff of the City of London, Mr. Barrett, the Go vernor, informed Mr. Sheriff Copeland of some par ticulars connected with the case of the unfortunate lady and her sisters, all of whom have such notions of the dignity of their family and character, as to despise even death itself in the endeavour to avert the very possibility of disgrace. In consequence of what the Governor heard from the strangers, he waited upon Count Munster, the Hanoverian Ambassador. They had spoken of large claims upon the Government by their deceased fa ther, and considered the Count responsible for the amount. Mr. Barrett, however, ascertained from his Excellency, who seemed to compassionate the unprotected foreigners very much, that the idea of any claim upon the country was a mere delusion. His Excellency added, that his Majesty had directed that a sum of money should be advanced, to enable them to return to Switzerland, where they had been residing upon a pension, which had been continued to them after the death of their father, but they had rejected the offer with disdain. Of the particulars of the imagined claire no intelligible account could be collected ; but it is certain that his Grace the Duke of Wellington thought proper to call upon the ladies, and that they considered themselves autho rised to refer to the Duke, as will be seen by the evidence of the officers, when a pecuniary demand was made upon them. Their father had been a Professor in the Univer sity of Gottingen, and had retired with his six children, all of whom were daughters, to Berne, in Switzerland, where they lived upon his pension. A short time ago, a young British Officer, whose name we forbear to mention, succeeded in prevailing. upon the youngest to elope with him. The rage of the five sisters, at this disgrace, was singular and awful. The crime of seduction, in Switzerland, is punish able as a crime. The seducer was pursued, and ap prehended, and would have been subjected to a severe penalty, if he had not at once consented to make the only atonement in his power—by matri mony. This expiation was, however, nothing in the eyes of the sisters, whose father died under the ac cumulation of horrors and torments which sprung from the flight of his degenerate child. They deter mined not to let the runaway live ; but their inten tion having been suspected, means were taken to counteract it. Foiled in this object, they resolved upon destroying themselves. Drowning Was the death tkey fixed upon; and they accordingly proceeded to one of the lakes, and flung themselves into the water. Two of them perished; but the efforts of some labour ing men, who were accidentally in the neighbourhood, succeded in saving the lives of the other three. The fatal resolution which the survivors had formed was broken, at least for a time, by the intervention of some circumstances, the nature of which they have shown an unwillingness to communicate. Probably they were led by erroneous expectation that if they presented themselves in this country, and demanded in propria persona what their father, in a heated and enthusiastic moment, might have supposed to be his due, they would not be refused. It is re ported that their father had given either some valu able instructions or information to certain members of the House of Hanover, and that his calculations upon English liberality were rather over-estimated by him. Whatever may have been the foundation of his hopes, however, there exists no doubt that his three daughters inherit his faith in the strength of his claims, and exhibit other unequivocal plods of the extraordinary effects of a romantic education. In fact, they appear to be just such characters as were the offspring of Schiller or Kotzebue's mind, and to be capable of representing those scenes of terror with which the story of the "Black Forest" abounds. Mr. (:iONANT said, that if the girl was entrapped into the signing of this document for the purpose of putting an end to the prosecution, it was extremely discreditable, and a very disgraceful trick; and as for the girl labouring un der any mistake as to the nature of this office when she ap plied for the assault warrant, it was no such thing, for he (Mr. Conant) distinctly and clearly explained to her, and understood from her, that it was only in the case of assault they could there afford her redress, and she said not a word about recovering her wages at the time. Mr. Roehfort said, that however that might be, her ori ginal intention certainly was only to proceed for the reco very of her wages, but he had no doubt there was some one behind the curtain who had interfered with her, awl in duced her to adopt the other• proceeding, nut fin• any pur• poses of justice, but to attain some ulterior and hidden de sign. Upon arriving in this country, they went to lodge in a house in Jermyn-street. Here their finances failed them ; but although the landlord proposed to them to move up higher in the house, to less expen sive apartments, they scornfully refused to do so, and engaged apartments at Escudier's, where the oldest was arrested for the amount of the debt con tracted at the lodgings they had just quitted. It is the puede:, long established in this gaol, to clear out all strangers at a certain hour of the night. That this rule should be in force is neces sary, on account of the health of those who are confined from necessity, and Mr, Barrett resolved o to alliere to it, without making a single exception. -In this case, however, he was obliged to yield, The two sisters of the prisoner visited her, and upon being told that they must separate for the night, they first ridiculed the notion of being parted; when, however, the lock-up man repeated the order, they all seemed to be agitated by some strange phrenzy. The two visitors drew out penknives, and betrayed a firm resolution to shed their own blood, if any attempt should be made to remove them from their sister, and the latter clung to them as if the existence of her life depended upon their presence. Mr. Barrett then ordered that no force should be resorted to, and the three sisters remained together for the night. The endeavour to carry the rules of the prison into effect the next night were equally abortive. They screamed at the thought of separation, and vowed that they would " pass into thu other world," if once parted from their beloved sister. Mr. Copeland having heard that one of l 4 offiem had been charged with cruelty in the execution of his office, instituted an inquiry immediately. Wilson assured the Sheriff that he never in his life uokigrwgi so mnpb in attempting to perform his duty.

At Liverpool about 1,200 bags seilling each day at firm prices. SUCAL:RS..--• The market has been very heavy for mus covadoes all this week, and for low brown qualities in many instancers dower prices have been submitted to; good strong sugars set stet stationary, but the transactions are less, and not above 2,200 casks are supposed to have been sold this week. Of Use late arrivals not many warehoused yet, so that oirr stock is again less, and about 3,000 casks more the u same time last year. Coleury sugars are scarce, sad command proportionably high prices. 140 Bas badoee sold on Tuesday at 645. to 71s. 6(1., being Is. to Is- 6d. higher than the previous sale. MAURITJUSr SUGARS.-A public sale this morning of 7,300 bags. ;The cargo, per the Hooghly was net landed on Saturday tut ; exclusive of these our stock - is reduced, sold and unsold, to about 11,000 bags. The 7,300 bags Mauritius sugar pit up this morning by public auction were, as a parcel, of an excellent quality, dry and strong, yet such was the aparoky amongst the buyers that not above 1,000 bags were apparently s'old ; the better yellow sorts at a reduction of full 25., and the brown sugars at Is. to Is. 6(1. on last sale.

REFINED SUGARS.-The demand for lumps has consi derably lessened since Friday last, and the late quoted prices are no more to be obtained ; one or two second-band par cels have also appeared in the market, which has added to depreciate the value sff the article ; yet good strong melt ing lumps are not yet to be had under 755., and but straggling parcels at this ; however, it certainly will require speedy orders to prevent a decline, as new refinings must now come forward : stnalfi lumps are also heavy of sale, and for crushed sugars less money is offered. COFFEE.-The public sales this week sronsisted of 400 casks, 170 barrels and hags British plantation ; a good proportion of which was Dominica of good and tine ordie nary quality, but all very skinny and of unsightly appear ance; the greatest part was withdrawn at from 4,35. to 50s. for good ordinary ; sonic fine ordinary sold from Li la. to 535. ; the Jamaica were mostly of an ordinary descrip tion, and went - off heavily; a few lots coloury folly maintained last week's currency. Of foreign also about two thousand bags damaged Brazil were put up by auction this morning, Twenty casks good middling Jamaica coffee for which fps. 6d. was bid, taken in at 765. ; I ,'746 bags Brazil coffee, about 700 of which were damaged, and sold at from 321. to 34.8. ; the souml rnestly taken in ; good ordinary yellow at 359. to 359. fld. ; geed ordinary coloury at 311'. to 38s. ; about 200 begs of:them were actually sold at these prides; one lot very coloury at 425.
