THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL AND THE ",REPEL!? PICKERING. The visit of the Solicitor-General to the Fleet Prison, the report of which has gone the round of nearly all the Journals in the kingdom, has excited a lively interest in the public mind as to the fate of the various victims to Chancery Prac tice. This interest has been particularly direct ed to the " rebel " Pickering. Already many professional men have offered their services " gratuitously " to put in an answer for him, especially after it appeared in the public prints that there was a large sum of money connected with the case. We have not heard that any professional man made a " gratuitous " tender of his services during the previous fortnight, during which time that uninteresting particular was not known. It appears that Sir E. B. Sugden, with a promptitude that does him the greatest honour, wrote to the different Solicitors connected with the various .cases that came before him, and, among others, to some of those connected with the "..rebel " Pickering. - The following is the letter of Sir Edward to Pickering:— " Lincoln's Inn, Sept. 29, 18g9. " MR. PICKERING—I have seen Mr. Arthur Clarke and Mr. Ware about your business, and I ant sorry to find Mat it is owing to yourself Mat you are now confined in the Fleet. However, at my request, the parties will put in an Answer for you, but you must furnish them with a certificate of your mar riage, or enable thena to obtain it. Let me, as a friend, advise you to act with candour, and to get quickly out of the Fleet. lam quite sure that it will be your own fault if you remain there long. Your friend, " EDW. B. SUGDEN." Immediately after the wretched man had re• ceived this consolatory letter, which came while he was acting as a scullion in the kitchen of the Fleet Prison, and selling a few oysters to keep himself from perishing of hunger, he received the following note from the Solicitor employed against him : " Mr. Davison will be very happy to wait on, or have the honour of a call from, any Member of Par liament who has felt disposed to interest himself in the behalf of the defendant Pickering. Mr. Davi son also has the intention of calling personally on the Solicitor-General upon the subject. " 19, Bread-street, Cheapside, Sept. 29, 1829." To the note was appended the following Bill of Costs : IN CHANCERY. MICHAELMAS TERM, 1828. HARLAND v. PICKERING. Instructions for Attachment against the Defen dant, for not putting in his Answer £o 6 8 Paid for Attachment Warrant and Messenger Instructing Officer ... 0 3 4 Paid for Return of Non eat Inventus Attending thereon Letters, &c.

Paid Fees to Tipstaff on Commitment Paid for Order and entering Copy thereof, and attending the Warden of the Fleet with the original Order and left same. 0 6 8 Letters, Scc. Here was a damper ! One hour the destitute rebel is told by the Solicitor-General that it is owing to himself that he is in prison, and that at the request of that distinguished officer :of the law certain parties were ready to discharge him ; and in the next in comes a bill of costs which cannot be made " costs in the cause," amount ing to about 101., to be paid by one who had not 10s. in the world, and whose wife but the day before had been applying for relief to the parish workhouse I The bill of costs gives us some curious infor mation. It appears to be the practice of Chan cery to make returns of non est inventus (" he is not to be found"), when a poor defendant is to be found any day in the week, and any hour in the day—nay, indeed, when he is in the very Court itself; before the eyes, and under the nose of the legal gentlemen who are making such return ! To be sure, when he has money in his pocket, or when, perhaps, the " costs of contempt" may be made " costs in the cause," and to be taken out of the property, there is no necessity for further proceedings. Under such circumstances lie may " clear his contempt," i. e. pay the fees and be off ; the strict Chancery meaning of non est inventus being, " not to be found with money in your pocket." The consequence in this case to poor Picker ing, of not having 1/. 3s. 4d., as appears by Mr. Davison's bill, was his committal to the Fleet as a " Rebel" (the expellee of going to which prison being about 305., as appears by the same bill), and the plunging of his wife and family into utter destitution, with no hope, and no friend, save the hOpe of an order from a Magis trate, and the friendly regard of the parish over seer. The case of Pickering is, in all its parts, a sa tire upon the laws. He was a pauper in the poor-house of Spitalfields, with his wife and an infant child, when an uncle of his wife's died, leaving her mother the interest of the fifth part of about 25,0001. during her life, and after her death, a third of the fifth to each of her three g _ i children. She is alive, and neither Pickering nor his wife . can take any thing at present.— Other parties were interested in the will, among 'others the husband of a lunatic wife, and some infant children. Both of these commenced suits in Equity at the time Pickering got out of the poor-house, and was maintaining his family by hawking oysters, fish, and fruits in the streets. A solicitor was applied to, to act for Pickering and his wife ; but Pickering and his wife had no money, and solicitors cannot work without. The proceedings that have already been pub lished followed. Pickering was seized as a " rebel," who " got out of _the way" in " con tempt of his Majesty's Proclamation," being all the time in his old quarters at Shoreditch, sell ing.oysters, &c. daily in the streets; was taken to a lock-up house ; from thence to the Vice- Chancellor, who, with his customary humanity, deeply pitied him, and asked him if he would sign an answer that should be prepared for him 'by the opposite party ? He gladly consented, and the next day expected to be discharged ; the next day he was again taken before the Vice- Chancellor, and the answer being read to them, they said they were agreeable to sign it. But there were the costs of the contempt to pay.--e. Money to pay these costs they had not. The Vice-Chancellor kindly inquired whether these costs could not be made costs in the cause ? " No," says Mr. Rolfe, the Counsel, " they cannot ; I must move that he be committed to the Fleet till he clear his contempt." The Vice- Chancellor was obliged to make the order, ob serving at the same time that they could not ex pect so destitute a being to be able to pay those costs. He was committed, and placed in the " poor side" of the Fleet, having no money to pay the fees for the Master's side (the prison of Chancery requiring fees in the same way as the Court of Chancery), and his wife, then seven months' advanced in pregnancy, was handed over with her infant to the tender mercies of the Parish Authorities.--This is Chancery Practice.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION,IiOUSE. On Saturday Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the Com mittee of Bankers, wAited upon the LORD MAYOR, to acquaint his Lordship with an attempt made by Hollinshead, who was about a month ago committed to prison to take his trial for robbing, in conjunction with two others, one of whom is named Pedder, the St. Neot's bank. The ease with which Hollinshead got out of pri son certainly argues but little in favour of the prison system at St. Neot's. It appears that some ladders were, whether by accident or intention we know not, left within the walls of the prison, at the very part, of all others, where Hollinshead and other pri soners, who were very likely to take advantage of such an opportunity, were confined. It happened that the keeper of the prison was in the front, at a distance from the spot, and that the workmen who had been labouring went to dinner. Hollinshead, upon seeing " the chance," proposed to scale the wall, and his motion was acceded to nenz.'con. Se veral prisoners got over; and ran along through the fields; but the eye of inquisitiveness was after them. Some country people, who were labouring in the fields, raised a hue.and-cry upon seeing a set of fellows, so unlike their honest neighbours, scour ing along the meadows. They were seen lurking about the hedges, and watched, until the Governer received intimation of their escape. A party of constables were immediately sent after them, and they were pulled, one and all, from amongst the furze-bushes. Hollinshead lay closer than any of the rest, and there was a general cry of " fetch him out with a fork." A fork was used, and he was ac• tually poked out, and lugged off with the rest to his old quarters. The Governor immediately put him in double irons, and it is believed he will be kept in them until the day of his trial. The robbery had been, we understand, effected by means of keys, made after impressions upon wax, and the amount is, it is reported, between, 6,000/. and 7,0004 A reward of 1001. has been offered for the apprehen sion of two other persons who are suspected of hav ing been concerned in the robbery of the St. Neot's bank. A young fellow named Richardson, aged 17, was charged w►th having attempted to violate the person of a little girl named Ann Russell, his cousin. It appeared that the attempt had not succeeded, and the whole family, who appeared to be in deep afflic ton at the charge, interfered to prevent the Lord Mayor from sending the lad for trial. The LORD MAYOR ordered bail to be given for the prisoner, and said he regretted to find a disincli nation on the part of the relatives to punish a fellow guilty of such conduct. The relatives cried out," Oh, we are all closely related, and he shall never have the opportunity again. Forgive him." The LORD MAYOR said that a prosecution might have the effect of saving his life. He (the Lord Mayor) believed that he should order the City So licitor to prosecute. PRICE 7D. and had been in custody for committing a burg'ary. The prisoner said that he had deserted her. He replie4lbut he was only absent from her when he had gone on different voyages, and he made her an allowance during his absence. Mr. HALLS—These long voyages often produce awkward consequences to married men. The prisoner was committed for trial. M A RLBORO U GH-STREET. A solicitor, named Pitcher, acting on behalf of Messrs. Stultz, of Bond-street, and Mr. Edge, the Clerk of the Records in the Treasury, who resides in Essex -street, applied for the Magistrates' protec tion for the latter gentleman, who had been assailed in an extraordinary manner by a gang of ruffians, in consequence of his giving evidence against a man named Sandford, who is in custody, together with his wife, and a man named Leslie, on suspicion of being concerned in the late desperate burglary in Clifford-street. It was explained that owing to no fewer than 10 daring attempts havint, been made to effect a burglarious ent ra n ce i n t o M r.' Edge's pre mises since the 30th of August last, that gentleman, who is advanced in years, and extremely infirm, sat up every night, provided with fire-arms, to protect his property, and thus his rest and peace of mind had been entirely destroyed. His apprehensions were increased that morning (Saturday), at the re- ceipt of the two following atrocious communications, which strived-by the two-penny post, addressed to " Mr. Edge, Esq., 34, Essex -street, Strand." On the outside was written, " Not to be opened by any body but Mr. Edge himself." The first ran thus : " Oct. 2.---Kind Sir, I hope you will take care of yourself for the future, for I'll serve you a trick for this; you remember Bow-street work, for the Devil and my companions will set fire to the whole house, and burn it the first opportunity, and murder all that is in the house—i send this line to you to be careful fur the future ; remember my whole companions in gaol—l remember you civil. " THE DEVIL." The other lette; was in a different handwriting from the first, and the following is a verbatim copy of the infamous scrawl : " If you don't take care of yourself i'll serve you out for what you false swore against my partner, you cursed rouge. Take care of yourself, or i'll give you a pill.—Take warning. " A NOTED - HOUSEBREAKER." Mr. Pitcher expressed himself satisfied that the object of the gang was to intimidate Mr. Edge from appearing in Court against Sandford, who had lived in his service as footman, in December, 1827, when he and his wife were discharged ; and the repeated burglarious attempts made on his premises (where, upon one occasion, Sandford was found concealed) raised a cnniiderable degree of suspicion that he was implicated in them, as well as the burglary in Clif ford-street. Mr. CoNANT thought the letters most infamous productions, and rendered the writers of them liable to a criminal prosecution. The Worthy Magistrate then offered to afford every assistance to bring the parties to justice; and here the matter for the pre sent terminated. George Cooper, an individual attired in a fashion able style, and apparently about thirty-five years of age, was on Friday night brought before Mr. Co- NANT, charged with the following felony : It appeared that the prisoner entered the shop of Messrs. Nicholls, hosiers, in St. James's street, on Friday afternoon, and stated that he required two or three pieces of silk pocket-handkerchief, for Colonel Stevenson, of Upper Grosvenor -street, an imaginary gentleman, of whom the Messrs. Nicholls possessed no knowledge. The prisoner selected an assort ment of handkerchiefs, which he ordered to be sent that evening to the Colonel's residence. Mr. Nicholls observed the prisoner slip one of the hand kerchiefs into his coat-pocket. Mr. Nicholls imme diately collared him, and the prisoner dropped the handkerchief on the floor. He was then given into custody. It was ascertained that no gentleman named Stephenson resided in Upper Grosvenor street. The prisoner solemnly protested that he never had any of the goods in his possession, having only selected them ; but Mr. Nicholls swore posi tively to the above facts, and the prisoner, who offered bail, was remanded. ~~~~~ SCOTCH MARKETS.

A fire broke out on Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, in the extensive wine and spirit cellars of Alderman CHRIS/01'1MR. SMITH, 20, Queen-street, Cheapside, which, from the nature of the stock, and the dense volley of smoke and flame wills which the whole was enveloped, threatened not only the destruction of the extensive premises, but those contiguous. The engineer of Queenhithe was instantly on the spot with his engine, and lie having taken the precaution of closing the doors and all apertures, immediately laid on the water, and in troducing the hose through a hole made in the cellar door, succeeded in keeping the fire under until the arrival of St. Mary Aldermary engine, when, by the united exertions of the men, the flames in about half an hour were got tin der. Considerable damage has been done to the valuable stock of wines, &c. The fire is supposed to have origi uated in a spark from a candle having dropped en seine straw, which becoming ignited, set fire to a very large vat, filled with spirits, and had vent been given to the smoke and flame before the engine was ready, the consequence would, no doubt, have proved exceedingly destructive.— BETON, the ward beadle, by his exertions, prevented the property removed becoming a prey to depredators. GUILDHALL Alfred Alfredius, whose wife was committed a few days since for annoying the overseers of Bishops gate, presented himself at the close of the business, and stated that having observed in the Times news paper that his wife had asserted he was keeping another woman, he attended in the hope of meeting with the Magistrate before whom this assertion was made, and that he would be permitted to prove by the testimony of his wife's brother that her state ment was utterly false. lie declared solemnly that since he had been compelled to separate from his wife through her immoral conduct, he had not at any time been living with, or supportingany other woman whatever, and he begged the Magistrate to examine his witness on the subject. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER, however, said, he could not allow more of the time of the Court to be occupied with mere explanations of this nature. Four journeymen bookbinders, named Thomas Austen, James Booth, John Soper, and Charles Clarke., were brought up on suspicion of maltreat ing a watchman, named George Dee, belonging to Blackfriars. Dee is in Bartholomew's Hospital, and his state ment of what had occurred was forwarded to the Alderman, which was, that in passing through Ire land-yard, on St. Andrew's-hill, at ten minutes before one, he was beset by four or five men; that one of them, with black whiskers, had knocked him down, struck him repeatedly while on the ground, and had jumped upon his breast and belly with his knees; that he tried to spring his rattle, but the rest of the men prevented him, and while be was down treated him in a strangely contemptuous and indecent manner, which we cannot particularize. At length he was conveyed to the hospital inwardly injured, and with one leg broken and the uncle dislocated. On the part of the prisoners, u man named Rawell said that the watchman began the conversation with the prisoners by talking about sparring. Soper said he thought he could knock his bead about. He was sure he should give him (the watchman) the first slap on the head. They both stood in attitude, and he could not tell who struck the first blow, but the watchman had the first fall, and on getting on his legs agai❑ was going to strike Soper with his stick. Soper cried out, "Do you mean that ?" and they had another round, which ended in the watch man falling and " tipping up" in the kennel. Soper wrenched the stick from him while he was down, and said he should use nothing but his fists. The watchman did not get up, but said his leg was broke; upon which somebody said, " Oh, he is a cursed cur," and they all walked away. Soper said that the watchman struck him the first blow ; his leg was broken in falling, and it was quite an accident. The other prisoners gave a similar statement. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER dismissed them, and committed Soper for the assault. BOW-STREEL Sarah Talton, a woman of rather repulsive ap pearance, above forty years of age, was charged with intermarrying with Bondfield Bryant on the 2d of October, 1827, her husband, Henry Tatton, to whom she was married on the 28th of August, 1822, being still alive. Stevens, the officer who took the woman into custody, produced copies of the registers of both marriages. Both husbands were in attendance. Mrs. Mary Tatton, of Fenchurch-court, Commer cial-road, Lambeth, said, that she was the mother of William Tatton, the husband of the prisoner, to whom she was married at St. Mary's church, Lam beth, in 1822. The marriage took place against her wish, and her son was eighteen years of age at the time. Bondfield Bryant came forward and stated that he is 25 years of age : he was married to the prisoner at St. Mary's church, Islington, in October, 1827. She passed as a widow when he married her. The mother of the last witness said that she was present at the marriage, and she believed that the prisoner had no less than four husbands living. Mr. HALLS—There is no accounting for taste, but it is somewhat surprising how the old woman could induce the young men, whose united ages scarcely exceeded her's, to marry her. The prisoner burst into a fit of laughter. Mr. HALLS --You may laugh, but you will find that what you have done is no joke. Tattoo, the first husband, said that the prisoner had been ntoot abandoned ; she bad run him in debt QUEEN-SQUARE. On Wednesday last, just as the sitting Magistrate, Mr. MARRIOTT, was about leaving the office, Mrs. Alsop, of No. 18, High-row, Knightsbridge, who had complained in the course of the day to the Magistrate, that her hasband had not fulfilled his promise of paying the arrears of her weekly allow ance which he had promised the overseer to do on Monday, as appeared in the Times of Thursday last, again entered the office, accompanied by Mr. the overseer, to whom she had been directed by Mr. Marriott to apply. Mr. Wilson stated that he had received on Mon day last 3/. 3s. from Mr. Alsop, for his wife, which he had just offered her, and she refused to take it, the arrears being a few shillings more; he had en deavoured to persuade her, but in vain, she refused in the most violent manner, and he therefore wished to know what he was to do with the money. Mr. MARRIOTT advised her to take the money which was offered to her by Mr. Wilson, but she still refused to take it without having the whole amount. Mr. MARRIOTT told her she was a most obstinate woman, in not taking the money. Mrs. Alsop still refused, without she had the whole, and complained that 12s. per week was not sufficient for the maintenance of herself and child. Mr. INlAutuorr told her if she thought that vras not sufficient,:the overseers might take the 12s, per week, and they would support her in the work house. This appeared to have some effect, and Mrs. Alsop took the money, and left the office. UNION-HALL. A man named Edward Dowling, a cooper by trade, was charged with having intermarried with Esther Whelan, his first wife being alive. Esther Whelan produced the certificate of her marriage to the prisoner, which was solemnized in the month of May, in the present year. She etated that the prisoner had treated her with great cruelty since the ceremony was performed, adding, that his first wife had come over from Ireland, with half a dozen children, and insisted on his supporting her self and family. The parish officers said that the prisoner was co habiting with a common prostitute, notwithstanding he had two wives, or more for aught they knew. The first wife, who was very reluctant to prose cute the prisoner, said she would give up all claim to him if she and her family were passed to Ireland. Mr. CHAMBERS said the case should be proceeded with, as the prisoner was deserving of severe punish merit. The first wife then observed, that the witnesses to the first marriage had emigrated to America. " Be sides," she added, "if they were in attendance, I don't think that would help the case, for we were married by an excommunicated priest, and thus a marriage, I believe, does not hold good." Esther Whelan said that she should not live with him again, and inqui re d w h e th er s h e was bound to remain single in the event of the prisoner's discharge? Mr. CHAMBERS—I am sorry to say that there is no evidence before me that would justify me iu com mitting the man to take his trial; therefore he must be discharged, but will still be liable to apprehension if the s.ecessary witnesses can be procured at a future time. The Magistrate added, that if the prisoner neglected to support his first wife and family, he _'-.4 -~ S. would be amenable to the pariah ; n‘ndin answer to Esther Whelan's question, 10?, to whither she I ra% hound ti, remain single, the Mae - i.i.r.re tainly n v." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 3.—The Eden, 26 guns, left Fernando Po on the Bth July, on a cruse, to re cover the health of the remainder of the crew. Colonel Nichols accompanied (`apt. Owen ; both of these officers having bean indisposed. The Eden, we regret to state, had lost eighty men. Mr. Allen, a Second Master of the Sybille, has lost both his legs, by the accidental discharge of some musketry nhich was lying on the deck of the tender in which he was serving, and which was got ready in consequence of the tender being in chase of a strange vessel. One seaman was also killed, and two others wounded slightly, from the same accident. Extract of a letter from his Majesty's ship Rose, dated Halifax harbour, Sept. 8 :—" We are just arrived from the Bay of Fundy, where we have been cruising some time. We had orders to proceed on to Bermuda, but they are countermanded, and we shall return to the Bay in a day or t wo. It is ex pected that we shall take the Governor, Sir Pere grille Maitland, who is in bad health, to. Barbedf*s, and in that case we shall winter at Newfoundland. The Admiral, Sir Charles Ogle, is gone to Quebec, and is expected to return the middle of next month. The Champion, Captain Scott, left this for Quebec yesterday." The Menai, 28, Captain Bourchair, was towed into harbour on Monday, by the Carron steam-vessel, to be paid off. On the same day, theßramble cutter returned to Plymouth. The Basilisk cutter arrived from the Eastward, on Tuesday, and sailed the following day to Ply mouth. Yesterday arrived the Sparrow cutter, from a cruise; and the Arrow to-day sailed on a cruise. • IThe Neva transport, 'Coombes, arrived on Wed , nesday. She sailed from Quebec on the 25th of August, and Halifax on the 12th September. Ori the 16th ult. she spoke, in lat. 45 W. long. 57 N. the Six Sisters, of Preston, for Richebucto, out thirty-six days, which had lost her maintop-mast in a gale on the 25th of August. The Neva sailed this day for Deptford. The Lightning steam-vessel, Lieutenant Bissett, came into harbour this afternoon. The Corinthian, Chadwick, arrived on-Monday, and sailed on Thursday, for New York. Sailed, on Monday, the Boyne, Warren, for Bombay. An order has been received this week, to send out two recruiting parties, each with a Captain, from the Division of Royal Marines. It is is understood that the Right Hon. J. W. Croker gives a farewell dinner on the 11th instant, on retiring from the office of Secretary to the Board of Admiralty. Lord Yarborough's Falcon and Lord Vernon's Harlequin yachts, had a trial of sailing, a few days since, at the back of the Wight; the former is a ship which has scarcely ever been beaten; the latter is a brig, built at Fishouse, on a pla►► suggested by Captain W. Symonds, and was eminently the winner in the present contest; she weathered on the Falcon at the least three miles, or three miles and a half, in a four hours' beat to windward. The free trader Lord Amherst will call at Spit bead in a few days, to take in her passengers for Calcutta; the ship Lady Holland, for the same des tination, will follow in a few days after. The Catherine Stewart Forbes, Captain Cantle'', arrived here on Wednesday last, to take on board 200 convicts from the hulks at this port, for Sydney. They are under the care and superintendence of Dr. M'Ternan. A detachment of the 63d Regiment, under Major Fairtlough, is embarked in her. The convicts were transferred from the hulks to this ship yesterday. Among other striking instances of that great urbanity and kindness of consideration displayed by the late Commander-in-Chief on the coast of South America, Sir Robert Otway, towards his officers, it should be mentioned that during the period of his command, three years, he never permitted an offic©r of his ship to be disturbed (as is the usage), to attend the quarter-deck on his leaving the ship, or on his coming on board; yet on all occasions, when Captains and Commanders of the Squadron, Con suls, &c. quitted the Flag-ship, the forms luid down in the instructions were rigidly observed towards them. The last portion of the Victualling Establish ment, being the slaughtering department, was wholly removed from this town to Weovil on Wednesday last, the new erections at which place are of the most commodious and substantial description. The erection of other store-houses being yet in contem plation, it is naturally inquired from what funds are these improvements defrayed, not a shilling having beet► as yet appropriated to them, by any specific Parliamentary grant.
