i P 1 0 1L CE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. George Turner, a man about fifty years of age, was -charged by a decent looking girl of 16, named Sarah James, with violation. The prosecutrix stated that on Tuesday week, she went to live servant at the Fox under the Hill, Highgate, which was kept by the prisoner's nephew, the prisoner being ostler there. On Saturday night last she went to bed and shut her chamber door_ without bolting it. After curling her hair she got into bed and fell asleep. She was awakened shortly afterwards by the prisoner in his shirt in bed, having one hand on her mouth and the other on her chest. Sir R. Throat —Well, what did he do to you? Complainant —H e took indecent liberties with me, hut ;I was so flurried, I hardly knew what he did. MatusTaAnt—l hope he did not proceed to the last ? ''Cotnplainant-...“ I hype not, Sir." She then proceeded to , state that he stopped for about ten minutes, as long as he liked. When he went away she bolted the door atter him, and on Monday she asked leave to go to her mother, whom -she told all about it. The prisoner's laognaze had always been so gross that 'the servant whom she succeeded, was obliged to leave on tieeerhat, The horning afterwards the prisoner saw her e !lvflo as she had been crying. He told her not to be fuoitsb, and told Iter ill the grossest terms that if hee health Wat 4 itl i ur " he would 'procure her some medicine. The mother of the girl tolloborated the story by relating what she Aid told }tom. T 1 , . ' e . Prisoner, *Ask 'had a wife and f a mily, accounted for Demi; tat ter*, .by saving that he smelt fire, and went th.dre %see ltthe girl had forgotten to put her candle out, which be Found to be the case, as it had communicated with some paper and smelt terribly. He awoke and scolded her, and she directly accused him of wanting to take liberties with her He put the candle out and retired to his bed, but he declared solemnly that he took no liberties with the girl, whom he accused of romping with other men, and said that she had extorted two shillings from him. The prosecutrix denied having received any money, and Mr. Turner, the landlord of the house, said that the pri soner hall said nothilig before about the smell of fire. The binding, over I .e girl, th e exte ascertained, by other answers from the ind 'Art of the off ence , an d comm i t t e d th e p r i soner , b the parties t o prosecu t e . t• - _. , tormation was received of a most extensive burglary early this morning, in the house of Mr. Burchart, tailor, of C lifford -street, Bond-street; upwards of 2001. worth of Property was carried off. WORSHIP-STREET. ----- A .yoting man ofrathei 7 respeclahle but wild appearance 'kat Charged with obtaining and eating a breakfast, with out meaning or being able to pay for it. 'The landlady of the Salmon and Ball, near Betlinal g►een, when he had ordered breakfast, had first asked which he would have--tea or coffee, and toast or bread and butter. He replied, that he would take all of them. He mad e a good breakfast, and then for the first time he was discovered to be a lunatic ; of which fact, from his curious behaviour before the Magistrate, little doubt re mained. He gave his name William Ingham, and said that his mother was a housekeeper, in Liverpool, and had given him leave to Conte to London: Ile was given into the care of the Vestry Clerk of the parish, who under took to search for some friends, whom he had mentioned.

We had a large supply of Irish Grain fresh up for this morning's market, and only very few country buyers ; consequently a goad quantity remained unsold, particularly the New Wheat, for which we have seldom witnessed a snore limited demand. All descriptions of this article were offering 4d. to 6d. per 701 b. below the rates of this day se'nnight. Prices of Oats were also 2d. per bushel lower ; at this abatement a pretty good clearance was made of the finer descriptions, but secondary qualities were neglected.

French Consulate-General, 17, Tokenhouse-yard, Oct : IS. • Silt,---The French Consul-General having been directed by his Government to make known to com merce and masters of vessels, a new regulation con cerning Signals in the Harbour of Havre, I have the honour fo send you an English translation of the same, and request you will give it all the publicity its importance requires. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) NETTEMEM, Vice-Consul. ' John Bennett, Esq., Sec., Lloyd's. • Oct. 13, 1829. " A regulation made by the Prefect of the Depart ment of the Seine Inferieure, for the police of the port of Havre, contains the following notice " Art. Ist. There shall be established on the north west jetty a code of signals, by means of balls, for the purpose of giving notice of the height of water in the harbour. A single ball will be hoisted when there is 11 feet of water; two at the height of 12 feet; three at the height of 13 feet, and so on until there is 17 feet; and a flag will point out the fraction of six inches. " At the ebbing of the water, the same mode of in dicating it will be followed in the inverse order,—that Is, in successively diminishing the number of balls, until there is in the harbour less than 11 feet water. " A graduated scale corresponding to the depth of water in the Channel will be placed against the north Wall of the jetty, near the vault. ." For the execution of this regulation there has been placed on the north-west jetty a staff, on which will be successively hoisted tin balls painted black, Placed vertically one above another. " These balls are united in couples, that is, the first and second for the purpose of pointing out 11 and 12 feet of water, will be 14 inches from each other; and that the third, indicating 13 feet, is se- Panted from the second by an interval of .54 inches; the fourth, which will be coupled with the third, will be 14 inches apart; and the fifth will be separated try anothei space of .54 inches, and so on, which will allow them to be observed with facility : the flag, for i ndicating the fraction of half a foot, will be hoisted tind er the last ball. . Theie signals can be distinguished with a com rnon telescope, at the distance of a league, or a league Itkid a half from the harbour. (Signed) " INIE . TTEMEIII, Vice Consul." EXPORT Ot CATTLE. (From the Cork Mercantile Chronicle of Monday.) On Saturday the Quay below Patrick's Bridge, known in other and better days as " Merchants' Quay," exhibited an instance of the change of times and revolution in the trade of this city. Mr. Canny, of the county of Clare, having forwarded 101 prime bullocks for shipment, from hence, for Bristol, the Quay was, for some hours, covered with those fine animals—they were then shipped on board three vessels. On an adjoining Quay another shipment of cattle, 58 cows and some sheep, took place at the same time. At this period of the year, in the times above alluded to, preparations would be in a state of forwardness in the stores on those Quays for com mencing the salting of Beef—thereby diffusing em ployment amongst the numerous hands dependent on the season; but these days have passed, not to be succeeded by others productive of more real Jie nefit, either to the commercial or the landed interests, and certainly not to the mechanic or the labourer. Cattle from Ireland into Liverpool, for the week ended Oct. s —Cows, 1,560; Calves, 699; Pigs, 2,917; Lambs, 141 ; Sheep, 1,568, and 1 Horse. BALLINASLOE FAIR.—The Black Cattle Fair closed on Friday, and the prospect for graziers was more gloomy than even had been anticipated. Hei ferb declined about 21. 10,;. on the prices of last year, and Oxen of five cwt., about 3/. The purchases were chiefly made by graziers, and no demand ex isted for the English market. Total number of Black Cattle exhibited 9,687 Sold 6,427 Unsold. 3,359 _DINNER GIVEN BY MR. SERJEANT WILDE, YESTERDAY, TO THOSE WHO ARE FACTIOUSLY CALLED POOR BLUES, BUT WHOM wit SHALL DENOMINA CH HONEST CON- SCIENTIOUS BLUES. (Abridged from the Newark Times of Wednesday.) Notice had been given that it was Mr. Serjeant Wilde's intention, previously to leaving, to give what is s;gnificantly termed in this town, a "Bit of a Do." Mr. Charles Pearson had for some days past been engaged in making the necessary arrangements for the proper distribution of tickets and for the arranging the best accommodation, both for those who intended dining, and those who wished to wit ness a scene of festivity amid oppression. Twelve o'clock had been appointed for a procession, and long before that hour not less than► 2,000 persons had assembled to convey their testimony to the Worthy Serjeant of the esteem they bore him for his manly, kind, generous, and prompt attention to their interests, and the welfare of the town. The band was in attendance, flags were waiving in the air, and the garlands, which were numerous and tasty, displayed the enthusiasm which was so gene rally and powerfully felt. The booth, which had been erected for the meeting on the sth instant, was tastefully fitted up with bouquets of various flowers; wreaths, rosettes, and garlands, decorated the hustings, lamps in various devices were sus pended around, and the whole formed a coup dceil never before witnessed in this town; but amid this manufactured display for incitement, there was that which must have imparted to every feeling mind more lasting, more powerful, more deep impressions, —it was the cheerful countenances of those who already had been the victims of his Grace's revenge, and those who dared him to continue his mad "career. At two o'clock, the tables were covered with good substantial English fare, roast beef and plum pudding, and a quart of ale by the side of each man. There are two modes of giving equality —lowering oneself and raising others; so felt the Serjeant. The Duke, by his conduct, had lowered himself to the equality of the most ignorant among them. The learned Serjeant, by his presence at the dinner, raised them to a consequence which they by nature are, and ought by station to be, placed. The Serjeant's condescension was properly estimated— . none but felt grateful for his kindness—none but were anxious to testify it, by their excellent conduct. Mr. Serjeant WILDE afterwards addressed the Electors in two speeches, the last of which he con cluded with the expression of his ardent wishes for the prosperity of the inhabitants of the borough, whether reds or blues. The following toasts were then drank : The worthy Electors, who have the Duke of New castle's certificate of honesty,—a notice to quit. Unshackled Representatives, chosen by free Electors. Freedom from wrong : not freedom to do wrong. May the power of the great never be used to de stroy the rights of the poor. The Blues, and may their moderation and firmness be crowned with success. The Duke of Wellington, and may the benefits of his administration in peace, exceed the splendour of his achievements in war. May the Crown Lands of Newark be hereafter used to secure that independence, which they have hitherto been made to destroy. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON addressed the meeting at some length. As soon as the curtains of day had been drawn, the whole was lighted up, and presented an almost enchanting appearance. A torch-light procession proceeded round the town—in front Serjeant Wilde in his carriage, The wives and sweethearts of the blues had been, by direction of the worthy Serjeant, provided with tea at the different houses of the land lords who furnished the dinner :and an order for ad mission to the dance, which was now to take place in order to close the festivities of the day, which was kept up when we went to press. Whatever may be thought of the conduct of the Duke (and but one really honest opinion can be given), the conduct of the Blues is entitled to the commendation of all parties, and must be to the Serjeant an additional proof, if any were wanting, that power may be perverted, but honest indignation never controuled. Upon Mr. Serjeant Wilde's return to the booth, the dancing commenced; the hustings were again graced and honoured by the presence of the ladies. The crowd was so great to obtain admission, that it was with great difficulty that numbers got in. After the two first dances Mr. Hitchins requested the whole meeting to surround the hustings, and com menced by observing—Mr. Serjeant Wilde, I am deputed by some of the Blues of Newark to attempt (for an attempt it will be) to convey to you the feel ings which have governed the poor (as they are called) blue women of the town. They, Sir, know of no better means—nay, Sir, of no means so good to testify their real pleasure and their grati tude to you, as showing some mark of re spect to one who is dearer to you than yourself—l need not mention Mrs. Wilde. They honestly conceive it a token inadequate to their own feelings, their own desires, above all, Sir, to the "inherent" qualifications by being allied to you, she must possess. It is a ring, Sir, emblematical as they conceive of her, pure gold; it is studded with stones of the first water, and there is a complete anagram in them,—for, Sir, there is a Ruby, an Emerald, a Garnet, an Amethyst, a Ruby, and a Diamond, forming the word Regard; it is, Sir, manufactured by our friend Weston, and bears an inscription—" The gratitude of the female blues of Newark." It is not for me even to trust my own feelings, much less to indulge when incited by others, but I think I may, for I know I am uttering the sen • timents individually and collectively of all when I say, may her health be preserved, and her life for many years spared. Mr. Serjeant WILDE, under strong excitement, returned thanks in a most powerful and feeling speech, and placed the ring on his finger, remarking that he should value it more than all his family rings. CHELTENHA M FAIR.—The first of our an nual statute fairs held for the purpose of hiring servants, on Thursday last, was unusually crowded ; but we are sorry to add that business was remarkably dull.— Chelten ham Chronicle.

The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came to town yesterday morning front their residence in Bushy park. The Princess SOPHIA paid a visit to their Royal Highnesses, and partook of a dejeunc at two o'clock with her Royal relatives. The Duke and Duchess left their residence in the King's Palaee, St. James's, about half-past five o'clock, on their return to Bushy. The Spanish Minister and the Saxon Charge d'Affaires had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign-office. Despatches were brought to the Foreign office on Monday night, from Lord HE'TESBUKY, at St. Petersburgh. The Earl of ABERDEEN visited the Duke de LAVAL MONT3IORENCY yesterday, at his residence is Portland-place. Sir BROOK TAYLOR, Minister to the Court of Berlin, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Mr. Secretary PEEL has left town on a visit to his father, at Drayton-park, Staffordshire. We have reason to fear that the KING will not arrive at Brighton so soon as was at first anticipated. His MAJESTY'S arrival had been expected this day, but we now learn the visit will not take place till a more dis tant period—probably several weeks from the present time.—Brighton Gazette of this day. Captain Sir J. BRENTON is appointed to the .Donegal, guard ship, at Sheerness. The Talavera, of 74 guns, H. PIGOT, Esq. Capt iin, is fitting out at Sheer- ness for foreign service.—Maidstone Journal. Captain MIGNAN announces for immediate publication his " Travels in Chaldsea, including a Journey from Bussorah to Bagdad, Hillab, and Babylon, performed on foot in the year 1827, with Observations on the Sites and Remains of Babel, Seleucia, and Ctesiphon." The work is expected to throw much new light on the accounts of former travellers, particularly BUCKINGHAM, Kxr- FELL, Ilictr, and Major RENNELL. The author has been enabled to append many valuable notes, as well as transla tions of numerous curious Arabic inscriptions, which have hitherto been inaccessible to the public. A WIFE'S REASON FOR ELOPING.--A person, named GEORGE PERKINS, of Biddeford (United States), cautioned the public by advertisement not to give credit to his wife, who had left his bed and board, and " refused to perform the marriage covenant." To which the wife replied by advertisement in these lines " When George would whip me night and day, (If it wa'n't for that, I shouldn't), I took my bed and went away— And pray who's there that wouldn't? " Biddeford, Aug. 24, 1829." " CHRISTIANA PERKINS." WINTER IN AUSTRALIA.-Mr. MARTIN exemplifies by a fact that the winters of New South Wales are delightfully mild. He has placed at night, at Paramatta, a vessel of milk under a tree in his garden, and in the morning, while eating the iced cream, plucked the ripe and ripening oranges and citrons. Frequently a second crop of pears and other summer fruits is produced in winter, and trees blossom again. The same gentleman mentions a very curious fact. The increase of population, he says, has been most rapid, and is to be accounted for by the number of females born, the proportion being, with re gard to males, as three to one ! The great preponderating number of females brought forth among domesticated ani mals will account for the countless herds of cattle which overspread the colony. Upon the subject of Free Trade, the New York Herald has the following remark :—" We are re peatedly told by the friends of free-trade, that our restric tive policy prevents Great Britain front taking from us our bread-stuff.. But the fallacy is sufficiently exposed, when we find efforts made on all hands to preserve the Eng lish Corn Laws, and to sustain a state of currency favour able to high prices. Great Britain does not want our corn, and will take it only in times of scarcity. She protects her home industry—her agriculture. And shall we do less. What would be the object of Great Britain in buying corn cheap, if her agriculturists were to be starved and ruined ? And we may ask, what object is there in this country purchasing British manufactures dog cheap, if we have not the money with which to pay for them?" It is said to be under the consideration of the new Commissioners of Police to raise the salaries of the officers, their present pay of one guinea per week, after the deductions for clothing are made, not being considered sufficient.—Morning Paper.—[This, we believe, is a mistake. The Commissioners have, indeed, an opinion (in which it is impossible not to concur) that the present pay of the policemen is insufficient; but they will adopt means to improve their condition without much increasing the charge to the public. They intend to allow a suffi cient quantity of coals weekly to the men, and to give them the opportunity of purchasing all the other neces saries of life at contract prices; by this means the guinea per week will be equal to 28s. under ordinary circum stances.]— Globe. We have been requested to caution the public against some rascals, who are now in this part of the country, laying informations against tradesmen and others for accidental emissions or commissions. These fellows appear to have no other mode of obtaining a livelihood than by taxing people in trade, who with the best motives may not always be aware of the technicalities required by law. We heard of one instance in which two of these fellows sought to inform against a dealer in rags, &c. merely becau.e he had not annexed to his sign the words dealer in marine stores:" the worthy Magistrate be fore whom the informers wtnt, treated them with the indignant contempt they deserved, and dismissed the case. These observation do not apply to those really useful informations, one species of which is alluded to in a subsequent col►mn. It is laudable to enforce a perfor mance of the useful parts of the law, but it is not ne cessary to t ►ke advantage of quirks and quibbles.—.-Boston Gazette, ATTENIPI' 'FO COMMIT SUICIDE. A young tidy, whose v. - inflections are highly re spectable, on Ttn slay afternoon attempted to com• mit suicide, by wall,ing into the river from the banks of the Thames, between the Red-house and Batter sea-bridge: The unhappy lady was seen by two young rnilem ,n, %A ho were pa , sing at the time in a boat, up to her neck in the water, and had no sooner got out of her depth than she sank. One of them immediately divested himself of a portion of his apparel, and in the most prompt manner plunged in after her. For some few seconds the enterprising young gentleman was under water, and great fears were entertained for his safety; but he shortly reached the surface with the object of his search, and succeeded, although with considerable difficulty, in bringing her on land. From the short interval in which she had been in the water, she very soon recovered, and was conveyed to the - house of a gentleman who witnessed the occurrence, in Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. From questions put to her it was ascertained that disappointment in love was the cause of her at tempting to rush into the presence of her 11Iaker, without, perhaps, being in the least prepared for the awful consequences. She expressed considerable contrition for attempting the rash act, and was so sensitively aware of the heinousness of her offence that she wept bitterly, and offered up a prayer for her providential deliverance. Our correspondent informs us that should the heroic young gentleman who so promptly, and at the imminent danger of his own life, rescued the young female from death, see this brief statement of the melancholy occurrence, and will call at the house of the gentleman in Cheyne-walk, which he left after seeing the lady safely conveyed, he will receive the card of the pa rents of the unhappy girl, who are extremely anxious to personally express their gratitude for his noble and manly aid in rescuing an only child from the jaws of death. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETINO. NEWMARKET, TUESDAY NIGHT.—This has been the busiest day we hare known at Newmarket for many months, It is seldom that three stakes have brought out such fine fields, or been so well contested as the Handicap and two Two.yr-olds, and it is perhaps equally rare for two races to have produced so many false starts as there were for the first and third. There was also considerable interest afloat, every body looking to the two-yr-old races with reference to the Derby and Oaks, which may fairly be expected to be influenced in some degree by the public running of 25 two-yr-olds. The races undecided when our express left the race course at five o'clock were the subscription for four-yr olds, and a match, both of inferior interest; they came off thus :-- One-third of a Subscription of 25 soya. each, for four-yr old colts, Bst. 101 b. ; and fillies, Bst. 71b. D. I. Bona Me, &c. Duke of Grafton's Turquoise Duke of Rutland's Oppidan 2 Lords Tavistock, Exeter, and Jersey, Sir M. Wood and Mr. Payne, did not name. 5t04 on Turquoise. A good race, and won by a length. The winner rode by J. Day, the loser by Buckle. Match-50 soya. T.Y.C. Sir M. Wood's Canary, 3 yrs, Bst 1 Lord Anson's f. by Gustavus, 4 yrs, Bst. 71b 2 An insignificant race. 5t02 an Canary ; won by a length. This race finished the day's sport when it was nearly dusk. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.--The Whip was not chal lenged for yesterday, so that Mr. Gully is likely to hold it for some time. The value of the whip is perhaps about 7s. ; it is made like a regular jockey's whip, except that the handle is silver, with the arms of the Master of the Horse to Charles 11. At onetime it had some of the hairs of Eclipse as a lash, but at this time it is somewhat broken in the centre, and to get possession of this valuable relic, it is necessary to run a valuable horse four miles, and stake 200 sovs. Surely this is paying too dear for one's whistle.—The races to-day were as follow: Match-200 soya., h. ft. Bst. 51b. each. D.M. Lord G. Cavendish's c. by Godolphin—Espagnolle rec. Mr. Stonehewer's Chiron paid. Match-50 soya. T.Y.C.

EXPEDITIOUS TRAVELLING.—At a Parish Church, a few days ago, the 14th Chapter of ST. MART:, containing 72 verses, was travelled through in eight mi nutes ; being at the rate of nine verses in a minute. Does not this, in its way, equal the feats on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway ? York Courant, 111 E LATE SMUGGLING TRANSACTION. (From the l'imcs.) We copy from the Morning Chronicle, and pub lish as transmitted to ourselves, but with the tone of authority, two new versions of the smuggling transaction. Ours seems the same statement as that of the Chronicle, purified from improbabilities 1 but the two so disfigure the facts before under public cognizance, that they might almost seem to relate to different transactions. It is now asserted that the smuggled goods were forwarded by unknown persons to their friends in Paris, in the imperials and trunks of Lord Stuart's carriage, which his coach maker (in Long-acre, we suppose) had been di rected to send over. But Lord and Lady Stuart being then in Paris, how came the imperials and trunks of their carriages to be in England ? Did Lord and Lady Stuart go to Paris with their bag gage in the diligence ? Or, if the trunks and im perials had been sent back to London, (suppose on pretence of being mended), did they convey nothing hither ?—nothing from Paris, for the coachmaker and his friends ? The Chronicle account says, that not only trunks and imperials, but the coachmaker sent over a carriage, for the purpose of conveying Lady Stuart to England. The difference is of no importance. The new account would seem to implicate the Portuguese Ambassador in the smuggling transac tion. This is unfair arid unjust. " There is ho nour," the old proverb says, &c. &c. However, let the Portuguese Ambassador answer for himself; But what says the first statement in the French journal, the authors of which had no spite against Lord Stuart, whatever might be their feelings against Prince Polignac and the French Ministry ? " The packages were addressed to Lord Stuart" (and not to the friends of unknown people); " and the only mystery was, why Lord Stuart, who had furnished his house a long time ago, should want such a quantity of household articles; and this idea occurred to the Custom-house officers both at Calais and at Paris! We can now make it known, that seven cases, marked L. S.,' weighing together about 30 cwt., seized at the Paris Custom-house, have been sent back to Calais. The Custom-house officers at Paris employed three days in visiting them. Five of the cases, numbered from 3to 7, contained a large quantity of poplins, figured stuff, gilt articles, glazed leather, cutlery, &c. The weight of all these articles was 1,200 lb. The other cases, numbered I and 2, weighed upwards of 1,630 lb., and were filled with lace in pieces, and bands; ar.d one of the cases contained more than 4,000 pieces." What is meant, then, by the assertion, that the duty upon this enormous cargo was no more than 901. ? Our manufacturers would never complain, if a duty after this rate were all they had to pay. But if the packages were addressed to other ineli viduals and not to Lord Stuart, whence was it that his Lordship was the only person sent for, or who appeared? Why were not the other persons had up? It was to them that the Custom-house officers should have attached themselves; his share in the transaction, according to this account, was only that of being excessively injured and insulted. Persons unknown to him in England transmit contraband goods to persons unknown to him in Paris (low beggarly fellows, too, on both sides), in his trunks and imperials. Of course the moment this most in solent fraud is made known to him, he is ready to choke with rage. lie instantly sets police-officers and gensd'armes in pursuit of the delinquents to whom the goods are addressed, and writes home to secure with all speed the offenders on dais side of the water. But no : his Lordship is a man of a milder temper. " Unluckily and unguardedly his Lordship assented to a proposal"—(By whom made ?)—" to send back the goods to the place from whence they came !" It was known, then, " from whence they came !" Who knew this ? Lord Stuart ? or some one else ? THE ENGLISH AMBASSADOR AT PARIS, AND THE FRENCH CUSTOM-HOUSE. (A communication sent to us from Paris.) Several erroneous statements having appeared in the French as well as in the English Papers, re specting some cases containing prohibited articles sent from London, and addressed to the British Ambassador at Paris, we understand from autho rity, that the following is a correct account of the transaction : It appears that the Ambassador's coach-maker in London was directed to send to Paris the imperials and travelling trunks belonging to his Excellency's carriages, which somehow or other a number of persons unknown to his Excellency contrived to fill with packages addressed to their friends in Paris.— On the arrival of these imperials and trunks, they were, as is customary, sent to the Douane (Custom-house), until they were claimed by the Ambassador; but, on his Excellency being in formed that they were unusually heavy, and sus pecting some trick, he refused to receive them, and desired the officers at the Custom-house to open them; when the fraud appearing, the Ambassador desired the superior officer of the Customs to pro ceed according to law. It appears, however, that this was not the only fraud discovered, for certain cases arriving at the same time, addressed to a ci devant member of the corps diplomatique at Paris, were also opened, and found to contain a quantity of tulle (lace). The director of the Customs, to cut the matter short, exported the whole in several cases, the travelling trunks and imperials being given up to his Excellency, which explains the reason of a smaller number of the cases addressed to the British Ambassador being exported than what were im ported, and this we state in reference to an article on this subject which appeared in the Times of the .sth instant, namely, that " ten packages went to Paris, and only seven were returned." It appears, there fore, that although the number of cases were less, still more contraband goods were thus exported than imported. The French Liberal Papers say that all this was connived at by the Polignac-Administra tion ; but the above affair happened, not under the present, but under the late Administration. The Rev. E. IRVING is once more among the arrivals here: we have not heard whether the Rev. Gentleman intends to preach at Brighton.—Brigliton Gazette of this day. WELCH THEATRICALS.—" REAL WA TER."-It would seen* that an " orerflowiny" house is not always a desideratum. A provincial Journal states, that " it will be impossible to open the Cardiff Theatre this season, the late rains having inundated it to the depth of nearly six feet, and the water being at present above the stage." EXTRAORDINARY HIGH strong north-east wind which prevailed yesterday had the effect of causing the waters of the river Thames to rise se veral feet above the usual level at high water yesterday afternoon, and several streets in Wapping, Rotherhithe, and also in the lower parts of Westminster, were com pletely inundated, and the cellars of a great many houses were filled with water in consequence. At the time of high water Wapping -street, near Execution-dock, pre sented the appearance of a canal, and boats were rowing about, the same as upon the river, and the inhabitants of the houses were unable to move out of doors till the return of the tide. Considerable damage, we have heard, has been caused by the overflowing of the river in many places on the banks of the Thames. The tide has not risen so high for some time past. A CAUTION TO PRINTERS.—We under stand that a fellow has been recently practising the fol lowing kind of robbery with considerable success : Having discovered who prints the prospectuses of the various annual publications, he goes to the different print ing -offices, and, pretending that he is sent by the publisher, contrives to obtain, through the respectability of his appearance, his blue bag, and authoritative manner, Ns-bat he asks for. Yesterday morning he succeeded in this way in carrying off, unsuspected, about 1,000 prospectuses of Emmanud, from Mr. DavinsoN's office, in Ireland-yard. He is of a dark complexion, and rather tall. if printers' warehousemen made it a rule, as they ought, never to deliver any description of work without an order properly signed, depredation, of this kind could AO occur. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The supplementary and separate articles of that treaty, which has fixed the expectation and attention of Europe for some weeks past, as it may affect her repose directly or indirectly for a much longer period, throw a lurid colouring over the policy of the Government by which they were dictated. We do not now attempt to raise, much less to pronounce upon, the question, whether the virtual transfer of Turkey in Europe to Russia be a sufficient cause of alarm for the rnt of Europe, to justify measures of combined hostility against that all-grasping Government ; but this we assert without fear of contradiction, that by the articles of the treaty, original and other, ter,Tu rkey supplemental,riey in En explaining rop no longer and enforcing r exists, bu each t as both in form aml essence a province, or mass of provinces, under the immediate gripe and sway of Russia. Above a year ago, when the manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas war first published, we took the liberty of remarking, that it was easy to exhibit that cheap moderation of which the only evidence was composed and tem perate language—that it was true the Russian Emperor abjured all design to make a conquest of the dominions of Turkey,—but (and this we stated emphatically at the time) that it was pos sible for him, notwithstanding his disclaimer of conquest as a formal and ostensible object of the war, to demand such enormous pecuniary indem nities from Turkey as the latter power would. be unable to pay, and such as would therefore afford his Imperial Majesty the twofold advantage of renouncing conquest in words, and securing it in substance, by making the military occupation of Turkey the " alternatite'' for an unpaid pe cuniary fine which no extortion could enable the Sultan to wring from his beggared people. The event would seem to have verified our predic tion, to the letter. A sum of more timil 5,250,0001. is, on the face of it, unless the whole world be deceived as to the financial means of the Turkish Government, far beyond the power of Turkey, whoever may be Sultan, to liquidate ' within ten years. That the amount has been raised, deliberately, to a level which the resources of the Sultan could never be supposed to reach, there seems, we apprehend, some reason for con. jecturing, from certain other stipulations of the same treaty. It was yesterday observed in this journal, that the only sovereignty left throughout Turkey, if Russian subjects were to enjoy in the full extent the immunities provided for them by the 7th article, would be that of the Russian Minister and Consuls. There may have been cases, as that of Romish priests during the times of Papal grandeur, and that of Spanish subjects resident at Rome, which an evening contempo rary has alluded to, where a separate jurisdiction was created in the heart of countries calling them , selves independent, for the withdrawal of certain parties from the ordinary tribunals of justice ; but arc such concessions of distant ages, granted by superstition to spiritual tyranny, or by special favour of an ecclesiastical superior to his confiden tial instrument and ally,—arc they to be adduced as examples for the imitation of the 19th cen tury, and for the tolerance of Europe, whose in terests and quiet a similar sacrifice of the rights of sovereignty by a weak power to a strong one would now tend conspicuously to embroil ? Such privileges, enjoyed by foreign sovereigns with in territories which do not own their for mal sway, have ever been regarded as badges of the worst kind of servitude ; why else was it, that throughout the whole of civilized Europe, the claim of the Popish Clergy to he, tried by Papal tribunals distinct from those of the temporal Governments under which they profess to live, was gradually, and is now abso lutely, abolished ? No, this new fetter, imposed by Russia on the Porte, is in itself a usurpation of the Sovereign power in Turkey. Suppose a Russian subject should behave with provoking insolence and turbulence to the Turkish author cities, — abs s be t tl i oe p s )e p cg o r s etd e it, (since such things are at least, l a yu t ,p f o rscene instigated n e o politicalfb by Russian a d exam purposes, pf ue to ict . ts c ih o oo n nu c a e lrd i i the Turks, and dangerous to the influence of the native magistrates,—is Turkey to have no means of dealing at once with the offender, ex cept through the medium of his associates or tutors in guilt ? Would the Emperor Nicholas permit French, or British,—least of all, would he suffer Turkish subjects to enjoy within the Russian territory an entire exemption from the penalties of Russian law ? So, with respect to Russian shipping, a merchantman under that flag may be loaded with merchandise contraband of peace or war, and within the Turkish waters she is to brave the authorities of Turkey, and outrage every principle of the law of nations with impunity ! Then comes another and highly illustrative condition of this treaty ; which, taken in conjunction with the military occupancy of the empire, and with the extraordinary rights conferred on Russian subjects, affords what the lawyers call " cumulative evidence" of the design to engraft a Russian sovereignty upon—or ra ther, indeed, to incorporate it with—the whole frame and existence of Turkey. After the close of the 11th article are these words :—" Until the complete evacuation of the territories occupied by the Russian troops, the administration and the order of things there established at the pre sent time, under the influence of the Imperial Court of Russia, shall be maintained, and the Sublime Ottoman Porte shall not intetfere with then: in any manner." Here, then, is not only a military occupation, but a direct and com plete administration of the Civil Government by Russia. Her Commander-in. Chief, it is known, has put arms into the hands of all the most dis affected Turks ; he has fostered the faction of the broken Janissaries,—the irreconcileable ene mies of Mahmoud ; he has given that faction the administrative power throughout the whole country which his troops have overrun and con quered. Coupling, therefore, this system with the arrangements made for keeping military pos session of the Turkish soil, is it too much to say that the manifest policy has been to over throw all those associations and institutions which led the inhabitants of Turkey in Europe to consider the Sultan as their lawful ruler, and to instil the notion of Muscovite supremacy as the habit and principle of the national mind of Turkey ? The revenues, moreover, collected according " to the present order of things, and under the influence of the Imperial Court of Russia," must go indubitably into the pocket of that Imperial Court. • So that by this singular adjunct of Fiscal and Civil Government to mili crt aicrimy ofe o c t hcbueoptialt dexterousi o n must, th e bi s et stille r a u i ef o un f rt t t e e f ri Sultanow impaired t l o get unli mited and exlitist p ed ro , lo a n n g d a t t l i i o e n m . ili N ta o ry w t w ei e lu d re o will not tshauys. .that this Russian Imperiun: in Imperio may not be a benefit to the Turks : on the contrary, we are sure that their condition will be much happier, and the progress of their civilization more sensible, by virtue of their transfer to the dominion of
