Good fresh samples are in demand, at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter ; the second sorts go off slowly, at rather better prices than have been obtained of late, but the stale and inferior descriptions are very dull, and difficult to quit at any tolerable price. Oats are dull, and scarcely maintain the rates of last week. Beans are without variation. Rapeseed is inquired after, and rather dearer. There has been some quantity of rain every day this week, except Sunday, which was fine. This day is tolerably fine, but harvest work has been much retarded, and not more than one-third of the Wheat is cut in this neighbourhood.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A PERSECUTING EVEN UNTO MATRIMONY.—A fatly, the widow of a merchant of great respectability in the City, was charged on Saturday with having acted towards a gentleman, who had been on inti mate terms with her husband, in such a manner as rendered it necessary that he should apply to the Chief Magistrate on the subject. The complainant stated, that he had been subject, for a considerable length of time, to a very strange species of annoyance from the lady. For some reason or other she had taken it into her head that he was under obligations to marry her, and she accordingly never ceased to demand the performance of what she considered he was pledged to accomplish. It was in vain that he said it was impossible for him to be more nearly related to her; she became more and more impor tunate. At length the complainant went to the Conti nent, but even there she was his umbra. Like the mon. ster in the "Bottle Imp," she started up in his path wherever he went, and, so strong did she consider her claims upon him, that she did not hesitate to run up bills at hotels in his name. The annoyance, at length became quite intolerable; and painful 'as it .was to his feelings to expose the circumstances, he determined to apply for protection to the Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the lady had given intimations of a disordered intellect in other ways ?—The complainant said that she was a per- son of accomplished mind, and the only symptoirt of aberration he had observed, was the extraordinary delusion about matrimony. Upon that subject she was quite astray; she had, without the slightest grounds, imagined that he was the person fixed upon (according to the adage) by Heaven, " to be her companion through life." Of the purity of her mind there was no question; she had been a most exemplary wife and a most tender mother; but the false impression under which she laboured occa sionally banished from her recollection any affec tionate tie but the overwhelming one which haunted her at the moment. The LORD MAYOR very compassionately expos tulated with the lady, who addressed him seriously on the subject of the complainant's application. She repeated the nature of her claim upon the com plainant, declared that he must take her " for better for worse," and that it was impossible she could be perfectly happy without being his partner. The delusion of the unfortunate lady cast melan- choly upon the few persons who were present at this scene. It appears that her husband had been once in such circumstances as to be able to entertain at his coun- try seat several of the Nobility; and even a Royal Duke was amongst his visitors. This latter fact was alluded to by herself, when speaking of her former respectability; and her address proved that she had been accustomed to society of rank. The LORD MAYOR felt greatly distressed as to the course he should pursue; but finding that if the lady was allowed to go at large, the complainant would be constantly annoyed and interrupted in his business, he required bail to prevent any further re petitions of of the conduct complained of. summons, however, and Mawby was ordered to pay him in 14 , days. Mr. 13rtouGnTox asked the bailiff from whom the writ was received ?—The officer could not tell. It was received in the regular course of business as from Mr. Chilcoat, who was known to be a respect able attorney, but his assistant, who executed the writ, would be able to identify the person. The complainant was certain that Mawby was the person, for his wife saw Mawby watching the man who put the writ in execution. Mr. BROUGHTON said the complainant appeared to have been most infamously treated, and he sent Waters, the officer, to make inquiries, and procure the attendance of Mr. Chilcoat the attorney, and of Mawby if he was to be found. In the course of the day, the same parties again appeared, and Joseph Josephs, the bailiff's assistant, was examined. He stated that the writ was brought to him by a person whom he supposed to be Mr. Chilcoat's clerk, who asked lOni to execute it. He knew Mr. Chilcoat to be a very respectable (man, but he did not usually employ Mr. Garrett, and witness asked why the writ was not sent to the officers who com monly did Mr. Chilcoat's business. The man said they had given some offence, and the witness having no suspicion of any thing wrong, received the writ. The man asked him to execute it that afternoon, saying, that if he did not, Beazley would be :gone out of town. The witness appointed to meet him at a public-house near Benzley's residence that eve ning, and accordingly arrested the present com plainant. Mr. BnovoirroN—Did the person say his name was Fisher? Witness—He did not. I did not ask his name. Mr. BROUGHTON asked him to describe the per son, and the description he gave corresponded with that before given of Mawby by the complainant. Waters said that he had been to Mr. Chilcoat's office in Broad-court, Walbrook, and was told that he had gone out of town for the day. He asked if there was any clerk of the name of Fisher, and was told there was not; but he was told that there was a person named Mawby, but he was said to have gone over to the King's Bench on business. Mr. BROUGHTON related the particulars of the ease to Mr. Twyford, who then came upon the bench. Mr. TWYFORD said he had before seen the corn plainant, and hardly knew whether he was in his right senses, but the story he told was a most ex traordinary one. Mr. BROUGHTON said the poor man seemed to have been very cruelly treated. The Magistrates were disposed to render the complainant every assistance is their power, but there was a difficulty as to the mode of proceeding; arid after a long conversation, it was agreed to take the case as a charge of conspiracy against Mawby and others. Mr. Chilcoat, it was supposed, would be anxious to attend, and give what explanation he could of the manner in which his name had been used. Summonses were ordered to be issued for the attendance of the parties at a given time. The complainant seemed almost frantic with his present difficulties,and apprehensions of future danger. Mr. TWYFORD told him he need not fear that they would carry him off again. Complainant—How do I know but they may go and swear other things against me as they have done this ? Besides, even since I've been here, my landlord has put a broker into my house. I dare say they've been and told him I was going to run away. Mr. BROUGHTON—How much rent do you owe him ? Complainant—Only 3/. I could only pay him half my rent. The wife, who had an infant in her arms, came forward and stated that she saw Mawby at the public-house, where the bailiff went to meet him. Mr. BROUGHTON—Have you many children ? Wife—Five small children, Sir. Mr. TWYFORD observed, that the treatment these poor people had experienced was cruel in the ex treme, and it was important that such proceedings should be exposed to the world. Summonses were then issued. COMMISSION DE LUNATICO INQUI- RENDO. On Saturday last, a commission to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. James Lewingdom Ran dall, of Clapham, was executed before EVANCE, Esq., at the Swan Inn, Stockwell. Mr. John Howel was called in and examined— Witness is in the malt trade, and is a partner of Mr. Randall, the subject of the present inquiry.— Has been in trade with him for eight or nine years, and during that period has had daily opportunities of seeing him. He used to be particularly attentive to his business, but about two years ago witness began to observe some remarkable change in his behaviour. Mr. Randall had at that time got into some difficulty with a female, which appeared to have produced great irritation of mind, and, finally, aberration of intellect. Thomas Fox entered Mr. Randall's service as coachman on the 11th of April last. Witness ac companied him from York to London after his mar riage. At an inn in York, he got up one morning in a great rage, broke to pieces a naked figure which stood on the staircase, declaring that he had got into a house of ill-fame, and his life was in danger. He said he would not take his wife past the naked figure for 500/. The landlady's daughter told him that the inn was visited by the first families in Europe, who had never objected to the statue, and expressed her opinion that the lady who was with him was no better than she should be. Mr. Randall declared he would bring an action against the land lady for ill-treatment, and for defamation of his wife, and told witness to recollect all the circumstances, and he should have 200/. or 300/. for his trouble. This witness deposed to various other instances of extraordinary conduct on the part of Mr. Randall, and gave his opinion that he was unable to manage his own affairs. Dr. Burrowes—Witness saw Mr. Randall on Sun day the 11th of April last, and found him in a high state of excitation; but, as he was under re straint, he was prevented from offering violence to the witness. He told witness that he had lately been married, and that he had been visited by angels since his marriage. He said he was under the influence of the divinity, and that he had seen angels all round his bed the night before. He said he had been particularly favoured, for he had been suffered to be .married to the Virgin Mary. He then adverted to the great fortunes which he fancied he possessed, and to the number of noblemen with whom he was acquainted. He told witness that‘he had been mar ried five days, and that he was exceedingly delighted with tlae match, as his wife was a lady of consider able fortune, and future expectations. He said he had been married in Lincolnshire, and had gone to York the same night. He very willingly entered ; into a detail of the curious circumstances which took place at the York Hotel, particularly about his getting up and attacking a figure on the staircase. , Witness asked him what offence he took at the statue, and he answered that it was a naked figure. Witness believes that he said it was a figure of ,Mercury. Witness asked him why he felt of fended at the statue, as it was usual for simi lar statues to be placed on staircases. He said that that was true, but as he had brought the Virgin Mary Into the house, he thought it a disgusting :thing to exhibit a naked figure to so pure and imma culate a person, and he was convinced that he had tot into a brothel, and thought the best thing he could do was to destroy the image, that it might not offend any one else. Witness has visited him occasionally from that period to the present. Those delusions still exist, and many new ones have en tered his mind. He has lately conceived that the world is going to be sent back. Witness asl,ed him for what purpose ? He replied, to conceal his in sanity. Witness asked how he came to know this ? He said that it was communicated to him by revela _ tion ; that an angel had visited him and informed him of the circumstance; that it was to be accom plished by what he called a procificalion ; that the atmosphere would turn black, and that it would thunder and lighten, and every body must take care of himself. This morning he told witness that the procification was to take place to-day at half-past one o'clock. On the second day of visiting him witness inquired whether he had consummated his marriage ? He said that he had not, on any of the nights that he slept with his wife, and the reason he assigned was, that he could not think of coming near the Virgin Mary; that lie was oppressed with so much awe in her presence, that it was out of his power to approach her as he would another woman. Mr. Randall was then called in, and examined by the Commissioner. You are married, I believe, Sir ? Mr. Randall— No, I am not married yet. I understood that you were. Mr. LRandall—Oh, yes, I was married. Whom are you married to ? Mr. Randall—To the Virgin Mary. Indeed ! How do you know that ? Mr. Randall —I don't know how it is. Mr. Hale (his father-in law) knows all about it; it will be explained to you. You are attended by ministering angels, are you not ? Mr. Randall—That is a very unreasonable question, and I beg you'll not repeat it Do you recollect the circumstances which took place at York ? Mr. Randall—Oh ! perfectly. I was very ill-used there. I intend bringing an action of damages for the ill-treatment I received at the inn. What are the grounds of your action ? Mr. Ran dall—You must apply to my solicitor for them. I have given my instructions to him. When is the world to be sent back ? Mr. Ran dall—The world ! I don't understand the reason of your asking this question. I do not know any thing of the world. Mr. Commissioner EVANCE (to the Jury)—l think we may dispense with this gentleman's presence now. Mr. Randall—Thank you, Sir : I can assure you I am very glad to get out of your company. The Jury then consulted for a short time, and brought in a verdict that Mr. Randall had been of unsound mind and incapable of managing his affairs since the 30th of March last. GUILDHALL. Mr. Thomas Peter Adams, a respectable-looking man, carrying on business in the silk line, was brought up for re-examination before Sir J. PER RING (having been remanded at his own request, without examination, on Thursday), upon suspicion of knowingly uttering a bill, bearing a forged ac ceptance, purporting to be that of Charles William Hinton, of Priem Barnet, Middlesex. After a long examination, he was discharged. AIARLBOROU OH-STREET. Sarah Clinton, a highly respectable-looking fe male, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. ROE, on the following extraordinary charge of fraud. Mr. Fletcher, of 169, High Holborn, silk mercer, stated that on Friday evening, about eight o'clock, the prisoner came to the shop and selected a quan tity of goods, consisting of gros de Naples silk, jae conet muslin, silk hose, &c., and after the articles were packed up, she presented what appeared to be a 201. Bank of England note in payment, and re quested the change, amounting to 171. On looking at the note lie instantly perceived that it was a counterfeit, or Fleet note, of the date of the year 1811, resembling those drawn on the Bank of Elegance ; and on asking where she had obtained it, she said she received it from the butler to the Ladies Gertrude and Ann Fitzpatrick, at No. 9, Grosvenor-place, and that her name was Elizabeth Johnson. He directed one of the shopmen to pro ceed with her to the Ladies Fitzpatrick's house, but on arriving there she refused to go in, and then changed her story, stating that her name was Clin ton, and that she had picked up the note in the Whitechapel-road, where she resided. The pri soner wept bitterly during Mr. Fletcher's statement, declaring that she believed the note was genuine when she offered it to Mr. Fletcher, but she knew she had acted improperly. The landlord of the house where the prisoner lodged, in Mount-street, gave her a good character, and said she had left her situation a fortnight ago, and supported herself by needlework. Mr. ROE, in discharging the prisoner, said, there was no doubt of her intention to defraud Mr. Fletcher, and ordered the note to be impounded— Mr. Fletcher retaking possession of his goods. L A M B ETH-STRE ET. Harriet Newman, an old woman, and John New man, her son, were charged with being in possession of a private still. Mr. WALKER sentenced the woman to pay a fine of 301., or be imprisoned three months : the son was discharged. WORSHIP-STREET. A poor man, named John Beazley, a shoe-maker, residing in the neighbourhood of Hoxton, came be fore Mr. BROUGHTON', the sitting Magistrate, on Saturday, to complain of an act of the most extraor dinary oppression, which had brought ruin upon him and his family. He had been arrested on Wednesday for a sum of 100/. although he did not:owe a single shilling,and was carried to a lock-up-house near Chancery-lane, where he was put to 3/. expence before he could get bailed out, and was compelled to make over part of his goods to a broker to raise even that small sum. To complete his misfortune, his landlord had since put a distress into his house for rent. -- Garret, a sheriff's officer, attended with the complainant, and produced the writ, at the suit of a person naming himself William Jonathan Fisher, and endorsed with the name of Mr. Chil coat, an attorney. Mr. BROUGUTON asked the complainant if he owed any such sum ?—The complainant said he never owed so much as 10/. to any man in his life. His only debt was 71. or St. to Mr. —, of whom he bought his leather, and he had never before heard of such a person as Fisher. He attributes the whole of this unfortunate business to the malice of an attorney's clerk named Mawby, who had been a lodger of his. Mr. BROUGHTON asked if he was any thing in Mawby's debt ?—The complainant said no; but on the contrary Mawby owed him 2/, and upon his saying that he could not afford to lose that, and that if he were not paid he should seek to recover it in the Court of Requests , Mawby told hi m that if be did do so, it should be the worst day's work he ever did, and threatened to ruin him and his family, and to drive him to the Kin's B enc h. H e did get a PRICE 7D. AUSTRALIA. We are enabled to publish some valuable correspondence respecting Australia. The fol lowing letter, which contains many interesting details, will be followed by others : Sydney, Feb. 4, 1829. I will not pretend to answer all the questions of your letter ; but will endeavour to give you, in general terms, my opinion of this country, and of the prospects which it affords to emigrants. All that you read in the works of Wentworth and Cunningham, as to the healthfulness and beauty of the climate, is strictly true. There are scarcely any diseases but what result imme diately from intemperance. Dropsy, palsy, and the whole train of nervous complaints, are com mon enough ; but then drunkenness is the vice par excellence of the lower orders ; and the better class of settlers have not learned those habits of temperance which are suited to the climate of Naples. The two classes often re mind me of English 'Squires and their grooms, as I used to see them at Florence, just after the peace :—the masters drinking at dinner, be cause they were abroad—and after dinner, be cause they were Englishmen. The servants drinking always, because wine and brandy were cheap. Perhaps a generation must pass away before the people here will accommodate their habits to the climate, which is that of Italy, with out either malaria or the sirocco. What can I say more on this head ? The soil of New South Wales is not parti cularly fertile. The plains of the Ganges, and of the great rivers of China, the lowlands of the West India Islands, the swamps of the Gulph of Mexico, and even the marshes of Essex, pro duce crops of which the people here have no conception ; but then, as we are without great masses of alluvial deposit, so are agues and in termittent fevers absolutely unknown. In point of natural fertility, I am inclined to compare this soil with that of France ; and I have no doubt that, if the same quantity of labour employed in agriculture in France were here bestowed upon an area equal to that of France, the quantity of produce would fully equal that of France. But hundreds of years must elapse before land here will be cultivated as well as in the most barbar ous countries of Europe. Flaying regard, how ever, only to the natural powers of the soil, this account will probably satisfy you. Timber, coal, iron, and other useful minerals, abound ; the harbours and rivers teem with fish ; cattle of all sorts thrive, and multiply with astonishing rapidity ; every fruit that flourishes in Spain and Italy comes to the highest. perfection ; and nature performs fully her part in bestowing upon man the necessaries, comforts, and luxuries . of life. In the above sketch, I have described my own impressions of the country before I reached it. They remain unaltered by some years of close observation ; and I can soberly declare that I believe this country to possess physical ad vantages over every other spot on the globe. I cannot say that in other respects, not phy sical, I had been misled. I drew my informa tion from books, and the verbal-reports of sincere men who had passed many years in the Colony. The facts on which my opinions were formed have turned out to be true ; bat my conclusions were miserably erroneous. For example, I was told that an estate of 10,000 acres might be ob tained for a mere trifle. This was true. I have got near 14,000 acres, and they did not cost me more than 2s. But I imagined that a domain of that extent would be very valuable. In this I was wholly mistaken—as my estate cost me next to nothing, so it is worth next tp nothing. For reasons which I shall mention presently, I tried to sell it ; but I cannot find a purchaser, without submitting to lose great part of what I have expended in improvements. 'Yet there are persons continually reaching the Colony on pur pbousteto whenl invest ia v e money made i n overtures t h e purchase se them, of forless landt.they have have grumbled at my price , sa y in g that they could obtain a grant from th© Crown than sixpence per acre ; and when I have talked of my " improvements," they have answered that they preferred improving themselves to buying my improvements. In short, my domain has no market value. It is a noble property to look at; and 14,000 acres in a snug fence sound very well in England, but here they possess no ex changeable value. The reason is plain : there are millions upon millions of equally fertile land to be had for nothing ! I did not, you know, intend to become a far ' mer. Having fortune enough for all my wants, I proposed to get a large domain, to build a good house, to keep enough land in my own hands for pleasure grounds, park, and game pre serves ; and to let the rest, after erecting farm houses in the most suitable spots.. My mansion, park, preserves, and tenants, were all a mere dream. I have not one of them. When, upon my first arrival, I talked of these things to some sensible men, to whom I was recommended, they laughed in my face. I soon found that a house would, though the stone and timber were to be had for nothing, cost three times as much as in England. This was on account of the very high wages required by mechanics ; but this was noi all. None of the materials of a house, except stone and timber, are produced in the Colony: Every pane of glass, every nail, every grain).! paint, and every piece of furniture, from i =- kitchen-copper to the drawing-room curtain, must have come from England. My propert is at a distance of nearly seventy miles frotle fk sea, and there is -no road, but a track throut - the forest, for two-thirds of that distance. Every thing, even the food of the labourers, must have been transported from a great distance. Log-houses must have been built for the labourers, and the cheapest way of providing for them would have been by the establishment of a farm in the first instance to produce enough for their subsistence. Lastly, though none of these obstacles had existed, the whole Colony did not contain as many masons, carpenters, glaziers, painters, black and whitesmiths, &c. as I should have required. You may believe most statements of facts respecting the Colony ; but beware how you draw conclusions ! Of course, I soon abandoned all thought of building a mansion. As for a park, my whole property was a park, and a preserve for Lae, garoos and emus. The grand object was to dise park it as soon as possible. I clung for some time to the hope of having tenants ; but you will readily see that what deterred me from build ing a mansion presented countless obstacles to the erection of farm-houses. Besides, even though I had fbrced circumstances, and had, at an enormous cost, placed a dozen good home steads on my land, where was I to find tenants ? There is no such class as a tenantry in this coun try, where every man, who has a capital to cula tivate a farm, can obtain one of his own for no' thing. I soon found that what little my 14,000 acres had cost me would be entirely lost, unless I turned farmer myself, and endeavoured by my own exertions, with the assistance of convict servants, to extract something from the soil. Believe statements of facts—but beware how you draw conclusions. I bore my disappointment as well as could be expected ; and to use a Colonial phrase, " Took boldly to the bush." I dare say you fancy that it was very agreeable, but I assure you that it was not. '1 he novelty of the thing pleased me at first. But I soon tired of the clear Italian sky, the noble forests, and the sublime solitude of the untrodden wilderness. People, in iS highly-civilized country like England, are not aware of their own wants. The wants exist, but most of them are supplied as soon as they are formed. In England, when you want to eat, you eat, and there is an end of the want ; when you are sleepy, you go to bed ; when your clothee are wet, you change them ; when you are tired of talking, you take a book ; and when you are tired of reading, you begin to talk. But, in the desert, almost every want is severely felt before it is supplied. Every thing, from the very be , ginning, has either to be created, or brought from a great distance. Try to reckon the number of your physical wants which are every day supplied without any effort on your part, and you may form some idea of the physical deprivations of a settler. As for mental wants, talking and reading are out of the question, except it be to scold your servants, and to con over a Sydney Newspaper, which contains little else but the miserable party politics of this speck upon the globe, and low lived slang and flash, such as fills the pot-house Sunday Papers of London. However, the settler's attention is pretty well diverted from his wants, physical and mental, by the necessity of watching over his property. I bought herds and flocks, horses, ploughs, carts, and all sorts of implements_ of husbandry, and carpenter's tools. My only servants were con victs. - My own man who had served me for eight years in England, and had often sworn that he would go the wide world over with me, seeing that 1 was the best of masters, never reached my new abode. He had saved about 1501. in my service ; I had advised him to take the money out of a London Savings Bank, under an idea that he might obtain ten per cent. for it at Sydney. He followed my advice, and about a month after our arrival I missed him one morn ing ; before night I received a letter, by which he iaormed me that he had taken a grant of land near Hunter's River, and that he " hoped we parted friends." But to return to my convicts. One of them was a London pickpocket, and a more mischievous animal I never had to contend. with. The . others were country bumpkins, transported for poaching, whom I had obtained with much trouble, supposing that they would serve my turn much better than Lon doners. But if they were better able to work than the Cockney, they were not a bit more willing ; perhaps he corrupted them. Be tins as it may, they altogether led me the life of a dog. My sheep and cows were continually lost, and it was nobody's fault. My effects were . often stolen, though most of them could be of no use to the thieves. I grumbled and threa tened ; but these men, all round, declared their innocence, and called heaven to witness that they had not wronged me of a " dump: I stopped some of their extra allowance , until the goods should be produced. No mor e work was done, one was ill, another had hurt his hand, a third first"—and there I and sent the wh o l e gang to se emed necessary, howe ver, to q uel l this rebel ionplanted, saedlas me itleny sortFrenc or assistance.
