A young man named John Hall, a labourer, came to the Justice-room, and told the Loral MAYOR that he had been recently liberated from prison, to which he had been consigned because an official person happened to make a mistake, and that although he had been falsely imprisoned, permission to depart was .not given to him until he contrived to pay a guinea fee to the aforesaid official person. • The LORD MAYOR desired to hear all the circum stances, as nothing could be more important to the public than a disclosure of the facts of such a case. The applicant said, that before the last Old Bailey Sessions he had been, in conjunction with another man, whose name was Wooddin, bound over in the sum of 401., to prosecute a female who had robbed him of his watch. They accordingly appeared at the Old Bailey, and gave evidence, and the woman Was convicted and sentenced to , he transported for ' seven years. The applicant's watch was handed over to him, and he received IL 16s. to defray the expences he had been put to. Hiswitness also received the amount of his expenses, and they-considered that the business was entirely at an end, and rettuned to their work. The applicant was not, however, long occupied when a sheriff's officer tapped him on the shoulder, told him that his recognizances had been estreated in the Exchegit.., and that he must either pay the amount for which he was made responsible, at once, or go to prison.— The man's poverty left him no alternative, and he was locked up in Whitccross-streetprison. By some accident Mr. Barrett, the governor of the prison, learned that Hall, was confined for a debt which he never had incurred, and having been iuformed by him of _,the particulars, went to the officer of the clerk of :the peace for the county of Middlesex, and represented that the man had not violated his bond, but had: punctually appeared to prosecute. Upon this repteSentation an order was sent to the prison to discharge the applicant. " But," said the poor man too:the Lord Mayor, " I 'was not allowed to -stir unfilj managed to raise a guinea, by pawning 'the iier'S , ', l watch the woman had stolen froth me, to pay the clerk of the peace his fee." The Aonn MAYOR, who could not believe but that this statement was exceedingly exaggerated, immediately sent for Mr. Barret, in order to heal the version Qf a disinterested man upon the subject. Mr. Rarret, in answer to the Lord Mayor, who asked whether ,it was possible that there could be any truth in the account, produced the warrant for keeping' Hall in safe custody, from which it ap peared 'that the man had been a Prisoner for eight days for liothing. The f,orto _MAYOR asked what had occasioned the arrest of the poor man ? Mr.l34rett said he understood, from -the Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex (Mr. Selby, the: deputy of Mr. Alln);that Hall and the other witnesses, against ‘Vhom it was believed another process had issued,Pitid been mistaken for two • other persons, who had been bound over to prosecute in another case, buf . had not appeared, according to the terms of the bond. He (Mr. Barrett) had represented the extreme hardship to which the young man bad been subjected; but he received directions not to discharge Hall until the usual fee of one guinea should be paid. It was in vain he stated the in justice of the punishment which the man had suf fered; it was still considered that he ought, in jus tice, to pay the fee; and the clerk, when told of the extreme impediment of poverty as stopping the way, asked whether there was not a charitable fund connected with the prison, by which the man could be assisted to pay the amount. Creditors of this description, however, were not those to whom any funds for the benefit of poor debtors were likely to be paid. The LORD MAYOR—And who is chargeable with the mistake by which this man was plunged into prison ? Mr. Barrett said, he did not know that any one was chargeable, except somebody in the office of the Clerk of the Peace. The LORD MAYOR—And so, notwithstanding the injury the man has received from being taken away from his work and confined in a gaol for nothing, the Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex thinks pro per to demand to be paid for giving him such a lodging. Hall said, that care had been taken to make him pay the fee; but he had suffered still greater injury. His master, when he was liberated, told him it must be for something wrong that he had been confined, and refused to give him any mere employment; so that he was now in a destitute condition. The LORD MAYOR said that the case was a very desperate one, and proved, as strongly as any thing he ever heard of, the necessity of a revision. It was an act altogether of the most monstrous in justice. His Lordship desired to know from Mr. Hobler whether the Act of Parliament sanctioned the fee in question. Mr. Hot)ler said he believed it was mentioned in one of the by-laws ; but Mr. Shelton, the late Clerk of the Peace for the City of London, never con sidered himself justified in taking such a fee, and therefore never made any demand of the kind. The LORD MAYOR again strongly expressed him self on the subject of the fee, and asked Mr. Iloblcr whether the applicant could not have a remedy in a Court of Law. Mr. Hobler said the error was evidently an official one, whatever might be said of the demand of the fee. Mr. Shelton considered the fee certainly illegal. The LORD MAYOR-It is monstrous that this poor man should have no redress after having suffer ed so seriously. As for the fee, I never heard of such a demand in my life. What ! demand, and absolutely compel, the payment of a fee for com mitting an error which has cost a man his liberty, and the means of supporting life ! It is most shameful. In the course of the conversation on this subject it was stated that Hall, upon receiving the order for the payment of his expences, was called upon for two other fees. Half-a-crown to one person, and two shillings as discount upon the amount of the expences to another, who wore a black gown, and immediately addressed him upon finding that the Court ordered his expences. The LORD MAYOR said, that this discount extor tion was a practice of very common occurrence in the Old Bailey, but it had been found very difficult to detect those who were guilty of it. He was de termined that this instance should not pass with im punity, provided the party could be identified, Hall said fie — should know him any where. His LORDSHIP then sent for Mr. Richardson, one of the Under-sheriffs, and requested that he would inquire into the matter. Mr. Richardson said, the practice was, although most culpable, a most common one, and that he should at once institute the necessary inquiry. He had upon a former occasion ascertained that one of the officers of the Court had carried the system to an extreme 'indeed. A gentleman of the medical profession had given evidence on a trial at the Old Bailey, and was accidentally informed that he was entitled to two guineas, having attended two days. He found, upon applying at Mr. Shelton's office, that the money had been received by one of the officers of the Court, through the instrumentality of a forged receipt. The case was mentioned to the Court of Aldermen, and the officer vas at once dis charged from his situation. • Mr. Nobler.—Now, if that fellow had been pro- Chalmingtoa House and Manor, and Four Hundred and Sixty Acres of valuable Land, situated in the best part of Dorsetshire.

Miss Elizabeth Denton, the lady whose applica tions have been so often noticed, came before Mr. IVlrcsnum,, and entered into a long statement of her case, to which the worthy Magistrate listened with polite attention. She complained of having been denied justice by the Magistrates of Chester, and •asserted that she was deprived of the controul of her property by a base conspiracy to deprive bee of her rights. The lady concluded a very long state ment by handing Mr. Minshull one of her printed books, and requesting him to lend her 1001., for the purpose of prosecuting her suit. The Magistrate regretted that he could not com ply with her request, and the lady retired. MA RLBORO U GH-STREET. Mr. Grist, the overseer of St. George, Hanover square, communicated to the Magistrate that Dr. de Sanctos, who had been btought to this office some months ago, charged with an attempt to commit sui cide, and was then committed to the care of the officers of St. Pancras parish, where his settlement properly belongs, bad agai❑ made an attempt at self destruction on Tuesday night, by throwing himself headlong into the Serpentine River in klyde-park. Fortunately, however, a❑ alarm of the circumstance Was timely given by some passers-by to the persons :belonging to the Humane Society, • who very. protpptly went to the Doctor's assistance, and suc ceeded in preserving his life; after which they re hifived him to the workhouse of St. Georg►e's parish, where he at present is ; and it would be again neces sary, Mr. Grist said, to remove, by a regular order, the doctor to St. Pancras, his own parish, where, it appears, he had for many years lived in affluence, and kept up a handsome house and establishment. It was in November last that this unhappy gen= tleman before attempted to destroy himself by cutting his throat with a razor. This unfortunate gentleman, Dr. de Sanctos, whose mind, it is feared, is in a greatly impaired state, arising from disappointments in life and pecu niary embarrassments, was for many years phy,ician to the Prussian Embassy in this country, and then moved in a very elevated circle of society, and he was always esteemed as a man of great professional skill; and a humane and kind-hearted gentleman. UNITED STATES. (Fromthe Savannah Mercury.) At a Council of the Chiefs, heat' men, and warriors of the Creek nation, convened by autho rity, the Talk of the President was communi cated by the Agent. After a profound silence of many minutes duration, Speckled Snake, a warrior, whose head was whitened with the frosts of more than a hundred winters, and who sup ported himself on the shoulders of two young men, it is supposed arose, and spoke as fol lows : Brothers ! We have heard the Talk of our great father ; he is very kind ; he says he loves his red children. Brothers ! I have listened to many Talks from our great father. When he first came over the wide waters he was but a little man, and wore a red coat. Our Chiefs met him on the banks of the river Savannah, and smoked with him the pipe of peace. He was very little. His legs were cramped by sitting long in his big boat, and he begged for a little land to light his fire on. He said he had come over the wide waters to teach Indians new things, and to make them happy. He said he loved his red bro thers ;he was very kind. The Museogees gave the white man land, and kindled him a fire, that he might warm himself; and when his enemies, the pale faces of the South, made war on him, their young men drew the tomahawk, and pro tected his head from the scalping knife. But when the white man had warmed himself before the Indian's fire, and filled himself with their hominy, he became very large. With a step he bestrode the mountains, and his feet covered the plains and the valleys. His hands grasped the eastern and the western sea, and his head rested on the moon. Then he became our great father. He loved his red children, and he said, " Get a little farther, lest I tread on thee." With one foot he pushed the red man over the Oco nee, and with the other he trampled down the graves of his fathers, and the forests where he had so long hunted the deer. But our great father still loved his red children, and he soon made to them another Talk ; he said, " Get a little farther, you are too near me." But there were some bad men among the Muscogees then, as they are now. They lingered around the graves of their ancestors till they were crushed beneath the heavy tread of our great father, their teeth pierced his feet and made him angry. Yet he continued to love his red children, and when he found them too slow in moving, he sent his great guns before him to sweep his path. Brothers ! I have listened to a great many Talks from our great father; but they always began and ended with this—" Get a little farther, you are too near me." Brothers ! Our great father says, that " where we now are, out white brothers have always claimed the land." He speaks with a straight tongue, and cannot lie. But when he first came over the wide waters, while he was yet small, and stood before the Great Chief at the Council on Yamacraw Bluff, he said, " Give me a little land, which you can spare, and I will pay you for it." Brothers ! When our great father made us a Talk on a former occasion, and said, « Get a little farther; go beyond the Oconee, the Oc mulgee, there is a pleasant country—he also said, it shall be yours for ever." I have listened to his present talk, he says, the land where you now live is not yours—go beyond the Missis sippi ; there is game, and you may remain while the grass grows or the water runs. Brothers, will not our great father come here also ? He loves his red children. He speaks with a straight tongue, and will not lie. Brothers ! Our great father says that our bad men have made his heart bleed, for the murder of one of his white children. Yet where are the red children which he loves, once as numer ous as the leaves of the Forest ? how many have been murdered by his warriors ? How many have been crushed beneath his own footsteps ? Brothers! Our great father says we must go beyond the Mississippi. We shall be there under his care, and experience his kindness. He is very good. We have felt it all before. Brothers ! .I have done. _ After the possession of the coarsest food, , irothing seems more necessary than fire to ena',le• !nail to preserve his existence; and you w rcN probably as much astonished as the author" - from whom I quoted the fact in my last lecture„ to learn, that men were once ignorant of the:: uses of fire, and the means of obtaining it... Every nation now on the earth is, I believe, ac quainted with the principal uses of fire, and ob tains it readily. We pr . ocure it so easily that we are rather careful to extinauish than to pre terve it ; but, in Ancient Kome, some of thc choicest of its maidens, under the name of Vestals, were appointed to cherish ant? keep alive the sacred flame. When our knowledge of this; custom begins indeed the necessity for it had pased away ;- but as customs are frequently - con tinued even after the circumstances which gave , birth to them arc forgotten, there can be no• doubt that the practice of preserving fire, which: was common to many ancient nations, and was I consecrated as a religious rite, arose from the difficulty they previously experienced in obtain— ing it. Such a custom is another proof of the very rude and ignorant state of mankind before their records begin. I do not mean to describe the extent of our. knowledge on this subject, the number of arts which depend on the use of fire, or the great tasks man has achieved with its assistance. The most destructive, perhaps, of all agents, when it; escapes the bounds he prescribes, as long as the complete mastery over it remains in his hands, it is not less benevolent than powerful. By it he softens the hardest metals, and imparts so gentle a warmth to the air of his dwelling, ti • t it resembles during winter the genial breath of spring. Like the eternal fire which is supposed to exist in the bowels of the earth, he keeps it raging in his furnaces, unextinguished for years together, scorching and melting the materials of the solid globe ; and he strikes out a hasty spark that serves the purpose designed, and disappears at the very moment it is produced. He divides it into such minute portions, that one of them will not affect the easily irritated sensibility of a sick lady, nor disturb her slumbers, while it secures her from total dark ness ; or he collects it into masses, and re flects it many miles over the ocean, so as to form for the mariner, bewildered amidst rocks and shoals, a guide equal to the heavenly light of day. These things are now done by all the people of Europe. The beam that is the seaman's beacon by night, is dispersed from the Pharos at Messina, in Sicily, the most ancient light-house, perhaps, as well as from the Eddy stone, near Plymouth, one of the most beautiful specimens of modern art. As you probably know, this is a high tower built on the pinnacle of a nar row rock, which is covered by the flood in the midst of a tempestuous ocean, and surpasses, as much 'by the skill employed in erectinL , it, as by the utility of its purposes, the most splendid monuments that have been handed down to us of the most glorious periods of antiquity. When historians, and mere antiquarians, and amateurs of the Fine Arts, who seem only to delight in what gives a momentary pleasure to such as are already bloated and satiated with indulgence— when any of these persons, who, in general, look only at the rude materials with which the spirit of man works, take note of the yet existing Go thic edifices, erected by the piety or superstition of our ancestors—when they look at the vast ruins of some ancient temples or palaces, or are lost in admiration at beholding the graceful forms bequeathed to us by the ancient sculptors —or when they contemplate the enormous tombs of the Egyptian Kings, that were never of any use either to the living or the dead, they arc generally weak enough to mourn over the decay of human genius. Either they do not know, or they forget, that these admired productions, ex cept the mere plans and designs, were all exe cuted by the hands of slaves. Rude but stupen dous exertions, the tasked and forced labour' of a whole nation directed to gratify the vanity of one man, or build up some proud memorial of slavery or superstition ; which has been permitted to descend to our times, as a warning, we may devoutly hope, against embracing the errors or the system it was erected to commemorate ; rude but stupendous exertions certainly distinguish the former ages of the world from the present age, which is, I think, adv an t ageous ly k nown , by consummate art and skill directed in the great majority of cases, as in the power loom and in the safety lamp, to gratify the wants or ensure the safety of the meanest individual. The Ed dystone Light House, intended to warn all who sail on the deep against a great danger, and the Pyramids of Egypt to guard the mummies of a few Kings—a spinning mule and a power loom to make shirting for all the world and a frieze• carved temple, representing the blood-stained triumphs of one nation and the ruin of another, with " a golden statue sixty cubits in height,"± the bauble of a tyrant, seem to me the appro priate emblems of modern civilization and of an cient greatness. If you so associate them in your minds—regarding the happiness of man kind as more important than the vanity of their rulers—you never will like those persons who read only Greek, and see nothing in all the glo rious community of the civilized world, to com pare with the monuments of ancient art, but the gaudy gridiron palaces of its Sovereign and the unmeaning towers of its ancient superstition, in dulge yourselves in weak and foolish lamentations over the decay of the power of the skill and of the genius of mankind. That race, indeed, half gods, half heroes, who required a district for a dwelling-place, and a city for a tomb, has passed away ; the errors and the systems that elevated them to greatness have also sunk into oblivion ; but their place is supplied by myriads of human beings, equal in rights and in power, and supe rior to them in enjoyments ; and by a system which, partaking of the characteristics of our God, makes not one man, but the whole of man kind, the object of its care. • Goguet.

Mr. ADAMS has retired altogether into private life ; the rival candidate to the present possessor will be Mr. CLAY, who very ably filled the office of Secretary of State under the late Government. He is visiting his friends in different parts of the Union, where public dinners are given to him. A remarkable incident is stated to have happened at a rural festival recently held in the vicinity of a newly_ founded manufacturing village, which had not, up to that time, received a name. After the feast, it was solemnly christened Clayville, in honour of their disti ngu i s h e d g uest, on whom an orator also deliv ere d a panegyric, in. which he predicted that " HEN RY C LAY wou ld b e cal l e d by the voice of his country men f rom t h e s h a d es of retire ment, to fill the first office in th e ir g ift."
