Tn our remark.; on the case at the Wilts Quar ter Sessions, reported in the Devizes Ga z ette, which appeared in the Chronicle of Tuesday last, when noticing the practice of compelling a de fendant, before allowing him to have a trial, to ply the fees of the Clerk - of the Peace, chiding not only the expenee of ,I.stlmeloning a Jury, but the c!targes for re(icrding his verdict, and enterinT the s jurignient of the Court agaiii.ct hint, though, by a late Stdtute, the fees, paid by a prisoner win• !multi he lcquittvd are ordered to be paid by the county—we observed that this bare-'raced iniquity, practised in the county in question, was probably practised in every other county, with the conntrance of the Magistracy. w e h a v e since inquired of Barris ters whetiocr our conjecture was well-founded, and we find that it is the general practice for Clerks of the Peace to deny justice to all who will not comply with the above terms. That any Clerk of the Peace who has brains enough to be suffered to go * large should pref;ie throw. ing the charges on a defendant rather than on a prosecutor, will surprise no one. His object is a rich harvest, and the more is thrown on the defendant, the more eneouragemcnt is given to prosecute. and consequently the greater the amount of fees; for we shall hardly he accused of a veant of charity in strpposing that a prosecutor will seldom be discouraged from con4g forward by any fear of di!iLessingoa defend ant, and that he wouldhq tmos'lt more scru pulous in exposing . pecuniary sacrifices than in exposing hi4 . ..vitt , ,ponent. Moreover, the Clerk of the Pe!" 'without posse:-:sing any great stock of penetrati:an, could hardly fail to per ceive, that wer e a prosecutor to be called on to pny as high 'an amount of charges for every in dividual / :ie included in his indictment as if there were r;nly one indicted, this would operate as a st.7o;ug inducement to include as few persons as possible in an indictment ; whereas, by charging each of ten defendants as much as if only one were indicted, the prosecutor has en encourage ment to include as many as possible, both for purposes of annoyance and to deprive defendants of witnesses. The clerk's business is not justice; but sacking money ; and he would only be laughed at as a fool were he, in this knowing country, to diminish his income from an abstract love of justice. Neither do we blame clerks of the Peace for giving splendid dinners to the Ma gistrates, as au inducement to them to shut their eyes to the peculiarities of this beautiful inter pretation of the passage itt the Great Charter respecting the denial of justice—that passage which Sir Francis. Burdett pronounced to he alone worth all the discoveries of modern philo. sophers. The Clerk of the Peace could not, per haps, employ more judiciously a hundred or two of his five or six thousand a year than in reach ing Magistracy through that very sensible part of an Englishman, his stomach. But what we complain of is, that English gentlemen should be so lost to all honourable feeling as to look pTatiently on these abominations, year after year, to see the poor labourer . writhinr , .under the ex periments of an officer of their Court, passing between the torture of a protracted imprison ment—the prospect before him if tillable to pay the seven or eight pounds demanded from him— and the stripping himself of his all, and laying friends and relations under contributions to raise a sum of such magnitude to him. Whenever they hear of odious and iniquitous practices in any part of the world, before condemning them, let them bethink themselves of the uncontradicted declaration made by Mr. Holcomb in presence of the Wiltshire Magistrates, that a poor la bourer had before their faces been denied a trial, and taken back to prison, there to remain till the next Sessions, because he could not raise enough to satisfy the demands of the Clerk of the Peace. The men who connive at these do- ings, whose indignation does not boil over at I witnessing them, are not ready to do every thing only because every thing is not safe ; but, we protest, we do not believe there is any one thing which they would be withheld from do ing, if it could be done with impunity. These arc the dark spots in England. Corruption has pervaded every part of the mass. Wherever we turn, from the highest to the lowest, we find abuses of the grossest kind flourishing Without check or controul. Let one measure of justice be proposed, immediately thousands of interested corruptionists start up and exclaim, our rights are invaded. The question in England is not to re dress evils, but, for the sake of the corruptionists, themselves, to keep them within such bounds as to prevent their destroying the substance on . which they are fed. Our law reforms will ex tend thus far. Never,however,willjustice in Eng land be brought to every man's door, by the establishment of local courts. Never will the Unpaid be deprived of trafficking in licenses, under the pretext of preserving morals. Pallia tives are all that we can expect. One thing surprised and at the same time delighted us in the Wiltshire case. The operation of a recent statute of Mr. Peel has been more extensive than we could have imagined. Mr. Swayne, the Clerk of the Peace of Wiltshire, is re ported to have said, that "by a recent sta tute, which empowers Magistrates to dispose of assault case, nine-tentils of the fees he usually received were taken off." Bat the fees to the Clerk of the Peace are not the only relief which has been afforded to the poor by this excellent Act ; they have also been relieved from all the char attendant on summoning a Jury, &c. One 'grown, in a discussion with an other, reinforces his argument with a blow, the assailant and the assailed proceed at once to a Magistrate, and the whole affair is disposed of in a trice, to the satisfaction of both parties, and without the ruin of either. To bring such cases before a Jury, is a shameful waste of the time of men called on to leave their._ avocations to dis charge a serious duty. The seaspp for enabling Magistrates 'to dispose of such cases, summarily is obvious enough ; but how was Mr. Peel al lowed to make such an inroad on corruption ? We suppose that neither himself nor the inte rested parties ever anticipated such a momentous annihilation of fees as it has effected. Well may the Clerk of the Peace bite hard in the case of those poor devils who have the misfortune stillto come into his clutches !—Morning Chronicle. A gentleman, who hail not been remarkable for his appetite, became, without any apparent reason, very voracious, so much se, that he could not dine out, without first allaying the 'ravings of his stomach. He consulted several medical men, without any alteration i❑ his com plaint. By accident, a book on the medicinal virtues of water came in his way, and from the doctrines contained is it, be was induced to give up all other fluids, which, in the course of a few months, restored him to his former reel health,--/diuerpool Albion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 34 A N3lO N-HOtT6t. An instatwo of the welcome with which the oftimrs of ravishes in the city of London hail any oppertunity of getting ri,l of paupers, in any pos. sili!e way, occurred at the Justice-room yesterday, iwf.ite Alderman ANSLEY, who sat for the Lord Ma or. poor Irishwoman, with her female cl;9d% WTui is about seven or c4,41)t yeatt tAd, appeared at the Mansion-horse ) to lequet.t that the magistrate would eu.lrr.vtur to prevail upon the officers of a parish in which she had e.tablished a set lenient, to allow her some assistance for her child and herself. She had, she said, been in the habit of earts.'.nt a liveli hood by stllin!? oranges, !nit tar, ls broken in business. Fier busbottd itt.d abandoned her, and she had been cid to go almost naked to supply her daughter with food. The paric.h officer said, that as the woman had made a sotlement by servitude, the authorities hisd no objectum to take her into the workhottst but as for Ito daughter, they emdd uo nothing for her t she had u« c; , , , 0m nron them: Aldcrniakt Assttv—Why, surely yoti wobld Wet thini: of separating such a child frtm het• Mother ? The palish officer s•ild that the child Was mate, and they 'eotild tto nothing for her. ttolder (to the woman.)—Aro you not a ttuttrird woman ?—The pauper replied that she certainly was. - The. Parish Officer—But it was ,in Moorfields chapcl that she was married, and that marriage is not worth a farthing. It is illegal by the laws of England, Mr. Ilobler—lllegal ! She is bound to her hus band by as ties, tinti as religious ties too as your wift is to rot]. the Parish Officer—But it is not legal. NCR have nothing to do with the child. The father is an Irishman, and Ireland is her parish. We cannot take her in. She must be sent to Ireland. Alderman ANSLEY said that it would be dreadful to think of parting mother and child, particularly of parting thorn at so frightful a distance from each ether. Mr. Hobler—How do we know that there is any one to receive the child in Ireland. Where was she born ? The parish officer said, that she was born at sea. Mr. Hobler—Then how can you think of sending her to Ireland ? But, so that she is got rid of, I dare any it does not signify where she is sent. Well, you can give the poor woman and her child as much as it would cost the pariah to keep the former in the workhouse, 4s. 6d. per week. The parish officer said, the authorities could not afford to do so. They would take the woman alone into the workhouse and pass the child to Ireland, or they would allow 3s. a week to the former. Mr. Hobler did not know how to account for. so extraordinary a refusal. He thought it excessively uncharitable. Alderman ANSLEY endeavoured to persuade the officer to give the woman 6s. at once to set her up in business, and to prevail upon the authorities to allow her something more than 3s. a week for the support of herself and her child, until she should be able to obtain something by her industry. The pauper begged that, of all things, they would not separate her from her child, who had no other friend in the world. She would, she said, work from morning till night to give her bread, but she was now totally destitute of bread or of work. The parish officer, after having stood a hard bat tery from the worthy Alderman and - Mr. Hobler, with real official coolness and determination, at last poked out the Gs., and promised to represent the case and the recommendation to the above-men tioned authorities. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. ROE, the sitting magistrate at this office, was yesterday occupied for some time in the investiga- tion of the following case : Captain Bransford, an officer of the army, and a member of the Junior United Service Club, stated, that a short time ago he had been in the daily ex pectation of receiving a parcel from abroad, consist ing of a box of Havannah cigars, which was to have been addressed to him at the club-house, in Regent street, but the parcel never came to band, and it was wily very recently that he learned that the parcel! had actually been forwarded to him from Portsmouth about the very time that he expected it, and had been conveyed by coach to the Spread Eagle book ing -office, in Piccadilly ; and, further, that the porter at the Spread Eagle had, on the very night it ar rived, delivered the parcel as directed at the club house to one of the porters there, who paid him 4d. porterage, and took charge of the parcel, but ‘vho had never since given it to him (Captain Brans ford.) The porter, lybose name was William Davis, had, since that time, quitted the United Ser vice Club, and is at present a porter at the Verulam Club-house, in Lincoln's Inn-fields ; and on being questioned there respecting the parcel, he said that he had a perfect recollection of receiving the parcel in question from the spread Eagle poi ter; but:stated, first, that he delivered up the parcel again subse quently to a gentleman who drove tip in a gig to the club-house door, and showed a written order from Captain Bransford to receive it ; and at another time stated that a porter called for it, who said he came from the Golden-cross, Charing-cross, where Capt. Bransford wished to have it sent. Davis, the porter, attended at the office, and ad mitted- to the Magistrate, as already stated, that he received the parcel, but declared that he gave it away again to some person who applied for it in the name of Captain Bransford. The Magistrate asked him, did he not know very well that Captain Bransford, to whom the parcel was addressed, was a member of the club, and in the daily habit of attending there? and was it not his duty to deliver the parcel to that gentleman himself, rather than to any one else in his name ? The Magistrate also asked if the porter made any entry of havi►tg received the parcel in any book he kept, or if he had ever charged Captain Etransford with the 4d. porterage which he paid to the Spread Eagle porter ? Davis said that he did not keep any ac count of the kind, and he was himself the 4d. por terage out of pocket. Mr. ROE said, that was not very likely for a porter to submit to, and on the whole, although he could not, he was sorry, afford Captain Bransford any re dress, the transaction was far from creditable to the character of the porter Davis; and here the matter ended. GUILDHALL Yesterday Mrs. Sarah Tomhins, widow, of No. 8, Bromley's-buildings, Bread-street-hill, was brought before Sir P. LAURIE, charged with keeping what, in this age of liberalism, is called "a house ;" that is to say, an " unfortunate girl" manufactory, where young sinners are qualified for "the powdering-tub" and the gaol, and where old ones are finished up for the next world. A The Prosecution was instituted against Mrs. Tom kills by the; parish in which she resides; and the particular nature of her business haying been depo sed to, one of the witnesses (a char-woman) stated that she understood the house and the business be longed to a Mr. Moses; and- " You understand!" cried the solicitor for the defence, angrily interrupting her ; " what right have you to tell us what you understand? We don't want to hear what you understand; confine yourself to/acts, Madam, if you please." Sir P. LAURIE, however, being of opinion, pos. sibly, that facts might be brought to light by listen ing to what was only "understood," ordered the witness to go on. " When lam investigating any thing (said the Worthy Alderman) I like to .know all about it. Now, it is notorious that neatly the whole of these infamous houses are the property of Jews, and I should like to know who this Mr. Moses is." The solicitor threw down his pen in a pet, and the witness proceeded to state that Mr. Moses is a Jew, residing in the Tenter-ground, and that he and hie wife Oed to come and receive the t 8 profits ' of the business" from Mr. Tomkin.. By this statement, which was verified by some thing more than a mere understanding on the part of the witness, it appeared that Mrs. Tomkins was nothing more than Mr. Moses's cars paw, with which, as old Burton would say, " he rakes chest nuts out atilt devil's tire;" mid Sir Pethtt LAURIE asktd Vrliaher it was not possible to lay hold of Mr. Moses. The prosecutors said it was not ; and then Mrs. Tomkins was ordered to find bail for her appearance to answer an indictment at the .•••• • i " 91)! w'e Pr a 4ared Vvtll respectable bail !" Itie solicitor; and thereupon he called Mr. George Joel and Mr. John Davis. Mr. George Joel, a hoary-headed Israelite, in an swer to the questions put to him, said, " I am a Jew, and I lives at No. 22, Acorn -street, Bishops gate. I have been a furniture broker, and I comes here to oblige a friend. If I must tell who my vhy I must. It is Me. Levy. If I must tell vhat - he is, vhy I must. Hes a Sheriff's officer. I low can I tell if he's the ()Writ!' of any bad houses ? --because nnver ak'd hilt the question. I call him sty frieall because he's my customer. I sold him furniture—household stuff—many times; but I never ax'd him vhat he vhanted it for; nor I didn't care. If people buys goods of me, and pays me, 'chat do I vant to know about it after that ? I am north more as 201. after all my debts is paid, s'help me God." Here somebody repeated the name "Levy," and the solicitor for the defence, who is very deaf, called out to Foster, the Marshalman—" Hold your tongue, Mr. Foster l nobody asked you any ques tions. You are not giving evidence, and you have no right to speak. I heard what you slid, Sir ; and I tell you it is very irregular, and ought not to be tolerated in a Court of Justice !" " You could not hear me speak," replied the Marshalman, " because I have not spoken ; but if you want to know who Mr. Levy is, I can tell you he is a sheriff's officer, and the owner of a u►tmber of brothels." " Really this is too bad !" exclaimed the agitated solicitor ; while every body else laughed in such a way as showed they thought it very good. Mr. John Davis, the other "respectable bail," described himself as "a travelling confectioner," living at No. 41, Charlotte-street, Whitechapel ; and when asked whether he would be worth SOL after all his debts were paid, he replied, " Yes— forty !" " Of what does your property consist ?" demanded the Alderman. " Of my stock in trade—my horse and cart, and lounges, and lollipops, and all them ere kind of things ;" replied Mr. John Davis. " And do you come here to oblige a friend ?" asked the Alderman. : I come to oblige—Mr. Levy," replied Mr. John Davis. " Why, then, I shall require twenty-four hours to inquire into the respectability of your bail, Mr. So licitor," sKid the Alderman ; and in the mean time Widow Tomkins was sent to prison. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 29. REX V. RICHARD FITZHARDING JENNER. Mr. TAUNTON proceeded to show cause against the rule which had been obtained in this case, call ing on the defendant to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for par tial and corrupt conduct, in convicting and impri soning a person of the name of Dash. The defend ant was a Magistrate of the county of Gloucester; and the circumstances under which this application was made against him were these :—A decree was made by the Master of the Rolls in 1652, by which it was arranged that the Lord of a certain manor in Gloueestershire should take five hundred acres of a common in that county to himself, the rest of the common being left open to the freeholders to take fern and hushes therefrom, except such as surrounded young trees--•where the bushes, &c., were to be left to protect the trees from the bite of cattle; and it was stated that the freeholders had exercised the right to take such hushes, &c. as far back as the time of memory. The manor had come into the hands of Colonel Berkeley, and they stated that he had brought an action against a freeholder for exer-' c sing his right, and that a verdict had passed for the defendant. Their allegation was, that the free holders had a right to take holly and hazle, and a sort of wood which was not timber. Mr. Dash, the person iii whose name the rule had been obtained, bad, by the authority of a man of the name of Long, a freeholder, gone to the ground, and taken a quantity of bushes and also a stick of holly, with some hazle and thorn, and it was said that this had been done in the presence of a person of the name of Williams, a gamekeeper of Colonel Berkeley. 'I he holly stick was from eighteen to twenty feet high, and from sixteen to eighteen inches in girth; but they said they had a right to take it, because it was not timber. Colonel Berkeley, they said, was very anxious to preserve his bushes, for the sake of protecting the game ; and they set forth that the defendant, Mr. Jenner, was himself a great sportsman, and was in the habit of shooting along with Colonel Berkeley, and was also anxious to preserve the game on this common. Dash was brought before Mr. Jenner, and ordered to pay one shilling and sixpence for the holly tree, and fined thirteen shillings, with costs, amounting, in all to 1/. Is. 6d. It was also stated by theta that Mr. Jenner conducted himself in an unwarrantable man lier •to Dash. Thii, however, was denied by the affidavits of several persona present. Mr. Jenner convicted him, but informed him that he might ap peal. Dash then went out to consult with his friends, and afterwards returned and said he would go to prison. Mr .13/totionlm and Mr. CAMPBELL followed on the same side. Sir • J. SCARLETT supported the rule, which, how ever, was discharged, with costs to be paid by the Magistrate. HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. CADIPBELL moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of Habeas Corpus should not issue to restore a wife and child to the husband and-father. He made this application on the part of a Mi. Wil son, now practising as an attorney, who, in 1822, had married a lady with the consent of her father, and with whom he had lived very happily till the year 1826, when he fell into embarrassed circun►- stances, and his wife and child went to reside at the house of his brother-in-law. Mr. Wilson had now commenced practice as an attorney, and had a house ready for the reception of his wife, and had gone twice to the house of his brother-in-lan•, from whom he lived at 100 miles' distance, and de manded his wife and child ; hut the brother-in law refused to allow him to have any intercourse with' them. _ Lord TEMTHRDEN—Take a rule to shoe cause. JUDGMENT.—APOTHECARIBS' ACT. Mr. F. WILLIAM called for the judgment of the Court on a young man of the name of Clements, who had been convicted of forging a certificate of his having served a five years' apprenticeship ac cording to the terms of the Apothecaries' Act, with a view to deceive the Examiners of the Apothe caries' Company. By the Act of the 55th Geo. 111. cap. 194, it was enacted, that no one should be admitted to practise as an apothecary without having served an apprenticeship of five years to an apothecary. An affidavit of the defendant's was read, in which lie admitted his having been guilty of the offence, and the propriety of the prosecution by the Apothe caries' Company. Mr. F. WILLIAMS addressed the Court in miti- gatiOn. Sir J. SCARLETT, for the prosecution, said, if this had been the only case of the kind the Apo thecaries' Company would be far from wishirg to press for any thing like a severe punishment ; but it was an offence of which others were guilty, and they hoped that the Court would pass such a sentence, a; would hare the effect of deterring othefs troth committing a similar offence. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said the sentence of the Court wa ,, , that the defendant be imprisoned in eliester gaol, in the county of Somerset, for six calendar months; and that in the mean time he be committed to the custody of the Marshal, in exe 6ition or the sentence. JUDGMENT.- , -RF.X U. HENRY HALPIN: The defendant in this case; who had been Con , victed,. at the Msizes at Gloucester; of a libel on 'Voting Griffith. the proprietor of the Chelten ham Chronicle, was again brought up for judgment. The case had stood over in order to allow Mr. Cur wood an opportunity of conversing with the de fendant, for the purpose of inducing him to adopt a different mode of shaping his affidavits from that to which be had before had recourse. Mr. CUItWOOD now again contended that the affidavit of the defendant, asserting the truth of the circumstances stated in the libel, should be received mitigation. Mr. Justice BAILEY then pronounced the judgment of the Conn On the defendant, When a party was brought up for judgment for a libel, if he InAisted that at the time when he published the libel he had good reason to believe and really did sincerely be lieve that the charges were true, that was a species of mitigation; but the account which the defendant gave in his affidavit did not at all apply to the species of mitigation which he had mentioned. Though it were true that the prosecutor had mis conducted himself to him (the defendant), that af forded no reason whatever for his imputing to the prosecutor the crime of which lie had accused him in that libel. What he might have stated in miti gation was this—he might have stated, if he could, that at the time when he wrote the libel he sincerely believed the main fact to be true. But instead of that, what he said was, that he had heard some of the particulars which he stated in the libel from a man who was NOW dead, which was not a mitiga tion but an aggravation' of the offence. The sen tence of the Court was, that the defendant should be' imprisoned in the gaol of North Leech, in the county of Gloucester, for one year; and that after the expiration of that period ho should find security for his good behaviour for three years--himself to be bound in 2001. and two securities in 1001. each, and that he be further imprisoned until he should find such security; and that in the mean time he be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of this Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, J. 29. GEORUE V. JACKSON. This was an action brought by Mr. Edward Wright George, an attorney, against the defendant, who resides in Yorkshire, to recover a sum of money for the maintenance of the defendant's son, and also for money paid for medicines and medical attendance on his account. H. S. George was a surgeon, and brother to the plaintiff. Ile recollected young Jackson's illness last year. He laboured under typhus fever, and was seriously ill for five or six weeks; during all that period he required constant medical attention. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Come, now, we have not yet heard who this young Mr. Jackson is. Tell us who and what he is ? He is a great hopper.-- (Laughter.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.---A great what ? Mr. Serjeant CROSS--Not a hop-merchant, my Lord; but a great hopper and runner. Witness--Yes. Mr. Serjeant CRoss--And your brother, I be lieve, is on the turf ? Yes, a little. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.--And the young man hops on the turf ? (Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Young Jackson was matched, was he nut, against another Yorkshire runner, of the name of Greig, for 3001. aside ? He was. Mr. Serjeant CROSS--Your brother was training him, I believe, at the time he fell ill ? He was. Mr. Serjeant CROSS—Now, Sir, was it not de termined that it was to be " a done thing ? (A laugh.) I understood so : in fact, it was deter mined that it should be a decided " cross." (In creased laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CROSS—That is, it was deeided beforehand that the match was to be lost ? Yes. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—And Jackson was to be the loser ? Yes. ( Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CROSS—Now, Sir, upon your oath, did not the plaintiff apply to you to put a blister upon Jackson's knee, to afford him an excuse for losing the race ? (Great laughter.) He did. The LORD CHIEF JosTicc--That was to enable him to lose the race without losing his honour. (Laughter.) I was asked: to put applications of some description to his knees to produce inflamma tion; but I declined to do so, and told them that it would be discovered. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—And were you not also asked to administer emetics for the same purpose ? I was spoken to about giving him a pill. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CROSS—To act as an emetic ? Yes, I believe so. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—And to be forthcoming on the course? (Renewed laughter.) I suppose so. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Not to accelerate his motion, then ?—(Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant CRoss —I fear not, my Lord. But I refused to do any thing of the kind. The LORD CHIFF JUSTICE—YOU did very right, Sir. Mr. Serjeant CROSS --Your brother would have made a handsome sum by betting against Jackson, would he not ? If the thing had gone off right as it was arranged, he expected, 1 believe, to clear SOU or 9001. Mr. Serjeant CROSS—That is, if Jackson con trived to lose according to arrangement ? Yes. Mr. Serjeant CRoss--I believe the man who backs a runner, like a man who keeps racers, always pays for the training. So I understand. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Now just tell us the course observed towards this man while training. He was fed en toasted bread and sherry, and took many other things. Mr. Serjeant CROSS—And this course was adopted to get him into a condition to lose ? such was the object. Mr. Serjeant CRoss--You gave the young man a great quantity of salts, did you not ? No, I gave him none; but I understand he was given a great quantity : young Jackson told me se. Mr. Serjeant CRoss—Now, have you any doubt that this kind of training it was which brought on the typhus fever P I think the training, coupled with anxiety of mind, did bring on typhus fever. • The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE here put it to his bro ther Wilde, if he thought, he could go on with this case ? Mr. Serjeant WILDE said, he would submit to be nonsuited. Mr. Seijeant CROSS stated, that the plaintiff charged for this young man's board at the rate of 6001. a-year, besides the other expenses. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE expressed a hope, that after this exposure no gentleman of character or ho nour would ever lay a wager on matches of this description, as they might be perfectly certain of being cheated.--Plaintiff nonsuited. ARAB WoNtEN.—The Arab women on the banks of the Nile add to delicacy of form and natural cle • gene's, a striking simplicity of dress. The poorest wear nothing but a long blue ehemisn, with a veil of the same colour—one collier of which veil they hold in their months, when they meet any men, especially Europeans. A large mask of tack taffeta covers the faces of the richer females, leaving nothing to he seen but the eyes and the forehead.— Ear-rings, several necklaces of shells or paste, intermingled with ;mulcts of silver or of polished copper, bracelets va rious and multiplied : the shin, the hands, and a part of the arms, tatoocd with blue, the eye-lashes tinged with black ; such are the particulars which Complete the dress of an Arab female, and which, notwithstanding their appa rent fintasticllness, produce an original and graceful ensemble.

Letters have been received from the Island of Terceira, of the 9th inst., which announce the arrival of a part of the Portuguese Refugees at that Island from Ply mouth. The Island has now here 8,000 men will armed and disciplined, with provisions for eighteen months, and animated with the best spirit to the Constitutional system. The Is zahella, 13razillian frigate was cruising in the neigh bourhood of the Island, and no force that Don Miguel can send against Terceira will now have any effect. It does not appear that any British ship offered any molestation to the troops landing. ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF NOATHUIII• BERLAND.-In a London Paper of Saturday, appeared the following paragraph :—" The Dake of Northumber land, the Lord " Lieutenant of Ireland, is gone back to Alnwick Castle, for the purpose of bringing his family to London immediately. His Grace will kiss bands next week." It is probable from this statement, and the cir cumstance we are about to mention, that the Noble Duke left London late on Friday afternoon. At four o'clock en Sunday morning, his Grace, in his travelling chariot and four, reached Ferrybridge (fifteen miles this side Don caster), having posted downwards from town during the night; and after changing horses, proceeded on his route northward. Unfortunately, however, when arrived at Hookmoor, between Ferrybridge and Aberford, but nearer the latter place, esther owing to the postillions mistaking the centre of the highway in consequence of the snow, or owing to the slipperiness of the footing and the convexity of the road, the Duke of Northumberland's carriage reeled for some pace., and in spite of all the efforts to avert the catastrophe, at last fell over on one side. His Grace, who was unattended, except by a single servant, we regret to mention, received a slight hart on the shoulder by this accident, bet considering the nature of the upset, and the serious damage done to the chariot, he may be said to hare very providentially escaped. It was then about five o'clock, w. m. and as the frost was intense, the unpleasant situation of the Noble Duke, par ticularly after his night's fatigue, may be easily imagined• But the exertions of the post-boys and his Grace's valet, together with some casual assistance which happened to become available, enabled the whole party to resume heir journey in a short time. The Duke of Northumberlfind accordingly reachod the Crown Inn, Boroughbridg., for breakfast, where the landlord, Mr. Stott, administered every possible comfort to his Noble Gnest, and had the parmels of the chariot, &e., put in such a state of repairs as would enable hi■ Grace to enjoy his travelling equipage in safety for the rest of the way to Alnwick Castle.—Leeds SIIIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
