After the operation a room-door key of the ordinary size would ad here to its sides. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSI ON.HO USE. Yesterday a Mr. Benson, who superintends re ceiving-premises at the White Bear Inn, in Basing hall-street, forgoods, appeared upon a summons before the LORD MAYOR, to answer the complaint of Mr. William Neale, of No. I, Little Tower-hill, for having detained goods intrusted to hitn for transmission to Gloucester. The case produced much . surprise in the Justice-room. Mr. Neal, on the 25th of June, received an order from Mr. John Prince, of Gloucester, for a,cei tain quantity of hemp, which was to go by Robinson's boat at the City Basin. The receiving house of Robinson was at the White Bear Inn, and the wit ness sent with the hemp a piece of paper, of which the following is a copy :- 6g White Bear, Basinghall-street—(per Robinson's boat.) cwt. qr. lb. 10 pennies of hemp lO 0 0 1 bale do 2 3 4 " To J. Prince, Gloucester, from W Neal, London, 25th June." Witness, in a week or ten days, received a letter from Mr. Prince, stating that he had not received the hemp, and inquiry was immediately set on foot. The goods were found at the White Bear Inn, but Mr. Benson who appeared there to answer demands, refused either to send them off by any conveyance to Gloucester, or to return them to witness. Upon being expostulated with, Benson first alleged that Mr. Robinson had failed, but witness afterwards heard that that was not the case, but that there was a disputed account between Robinson and Benson, and that on that account his property had been thus detained. Under these circumstances, it bad been considered necessary to represent the case to the Lord Mayor. Several other persons in business had met with precisely similar treatment. They had lodged goods on the premises, to be transmitted; but there they lay, and from thence they could not be recovered. The goods were detained because there happened to be a difference of account be tween Benson and Robinson. Mr. Hobler—Then an action ought at once to be brought against this person, and he would be made to feel for his conduct. I would bring en action against him for the whole of the loss and expellees which must have been incurred. The LORD MAYOR—What has Mr. Benson to say to this most extraordinary accusation ?—The de fendant said, that he had been acting at the White Bear as Mr. Robinson's servant, and he thought himself justified in detaining the goods. There was a disputed account between them. Who, he wished to know, would be held responsible, if the goods bad been lost ? Oh, he knew many cases of this sort; and he would be glad to know, if the goods were lost, against whom would an action be brought ? The LORD MAYOR—Why do you dare to detain those goods ? They are not Mr. Robinson's.— Defendant (after some hesitation.)—Detain them why, for very good reasons. I detained them on account of my wages and the rent that is due from Mr. Robinson. The LORD MAYOR—But the goods are no more Mr. Robinson's than they are mine. You are not aware of the offence you are committing. Mr. Neal produced the paper, of which we have given a copy above, and asked the defendant whether he did not receive a duplicate of it ? The defend ant--I'm sure I know nothing of any paper. My receipt will prove every thing about it. The LORD MAYOR—Have you received a re ceipt like that ? Defendant—Yes; I believe I have. The LORD MAYOR—You must know that you have no right to detain this gentleman's property ? Defendant—l know no person in this mat ter, except Mr. Robinson. lam his 'agent and servant, and I consider myself bound therefore to hold the goods. I hold them for wages and rent. The LORD MAYOR—You have received those goods from Mr. Neal,,for transmission to Gloucester, and by receiving them, you become accountable to Mr. Neal. I consider you guilty, in this instance, of a misdemeanour. You can have no lien on the property. Defendant—lf, the property was lost, who would be responsible ? Against whom would an action lie ? I act as agent and servant, and therefore I detain the goods. I consider that all goods in the possession of the carrier, are the car rier's goods until the carriage is paid. The LORD MAYOR—I tell you that you have no more right to detain those goods, than you have to walk into my house and steal my property. His Lordship then desired that the porters who took the goods to the premises should appear at the Justice-room on Monday to be examined, and he should then determine whether he should or should not commit the defendant for a misdemeanour. The disputed account, it appears, is 141. or 151., and the defendant has detained the goods of several houses on account of it. When applied to in a pressing manner, he offered to give up the property if the gentlemen who owned it would club amongst them the amount of his demand upon Mr. Robinson, au offer which was most indignantly rejected, INTENT TO COMMIT A RAPE.—A young fellow of particularly forbidden appearance, named Price, was brought before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY, charged with having intended (not attempted) to commit a rape upon a pretty little girl, no more than six years of age, the daughter of a shoemaker named Sims, who resides in Somerset -street, and to whom he is apprentice. Mrs. Sims stated that she had seen the prisoner once or twice kiss the little girl, but she took no no tice of the circumstance, not having the slightest suspicion that there was any thing mischievous in the young man's intention. On Thursday, however, she saw him again kiss the child, but it was when be suspected they were quite alone, and he immediately afterwards placed his hands quietly under her clothes. The mother ran to the child and corrected her ; upon which the little girl begged to be forgiven, and she would tell all that had happened to her. A promise was given, and the child said it was not the first time that Price had treated her in that way, for he had frequently done so before. The little girl—Oh, he did it often. The prisoner said he merely went to tie the child's shoe, and his hand slipped up higher. He never had any idea of touching her offensively. The ALDERMAN—My good fellow, if you don't mind what you are about, you'll certainly be hanged. The prisoner was then remanded for four days. BOW-STREET. Yesterday two young men, brothers, named Samuel and George Keen, were charged before Mr. MINSHULL with feloniously obtaining ftom Messrs. Lundy Foot and Co. a quantity of snuff and cigars, to the amount of 15/. A Solicitor who appeared for the prisoners urged that there wasno fraud either intended or committed on the part of his clients. The fact was, that the goods had been purchased for another party who had promised to pay for them on delivery, but failing to do so, his clients were now ready to pay for the goods that were deficient. Mr. ATlNsum. said that this was the first time he had heard of a third party having been con cerned in the purchase. With that, however, he had nothing to do. The prisoners had, in his opinion, obtained possession of the goods by a trick, and without any intention whatever to pay for them. He should therefore commit them for trial. The parties were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners were fully committed to take their trial for the felony. A Mrs. Nelson appeared against a Mr. Evans, a law-writer, whom she charged with threatening her life. The complainant stated, that she lived at No. 6, Newcastle-court, and that she was related to a young man named Coombes, who was a principal evidence against the two young men, Martelly and Conway, recently executed for forgery. The defendant lived in the same house in which she resided, and where Coombes and his mother also lived. Her complaint was, that the defendant had threatened her life as well as those of her relatives, and had frequently sworn that young Coombes was a perjured 'and'. an infamous informer, because of his having giiren evid.rwe at the Old Bailey against his two companions. The complainant went on to state, that. the defendant : used every species of annoyanc, to get them ! , 11 opt of the house, and that he Nv.e, assisted by two young men, whom he called hi, jackals. They were in the habit of getting up mock trial::, :.nd whenever theyoung ma►n, Combos, made his ~ p earance, they would cry out, " We will have no informers—no minced witnesses." The defendant said, that Mrs. Nelson had mis taken him altogether. He never meant to impute anything wrong to her husband, and meant no per son but Coombes, who it was well known was the close friend of William Jones, who stood his trial for the murder of Mrs. Jeffs. As to the threat which it was said he had used, he declaad he had never made use of such an expression. Mr. MINSHULL observed that the words had been sworn to, amd the defendant must find bail. The defendant said, that in consequence of Coombes living in t)ie house where he resided, several most respectable gentlemen connected with the law had refused to give him employment, sup posing that Coombes was his friend. So far, how ever, from that being the case, he abhorred his cha racter, and would willingly make any sacrifice to get him out of the house. The defendant immediately found two respectable persons to bail him, and the parties 'retired. Thomas Duffey, alias Edwards, and his brother Samuel Duffey, both lads, were fully committed to Newgate for trial, on a charge of stealing two cows, the property of John Bacon, a cowkeeper, residing near Highgate. The particulars of the case appeared in The Sun of last Wednesday. MARLBORO U GH-STREET. The clerk of a Mf. Caldecott, an upholsterer, op posite the British Museum, was brought up on Thursday before the sitting Magistrate, in custody of a constable, accused of having entered a house in Soutli-creSuent, Bedford-square, and by threats, in sults, and other outrageous conduct, attempted to extort money from a gentleman lately arrived from abroad, settled there, for a small bill (41. lOs.) for some work done, when the same was objected to as being considerably overcharged, contrary to agree ment, which was offered to be proved. The MAGISTRATE reprimanded him very severely for his improper conduct. The clerk pleaded in mitigation of punishment, that he had erred in igno rance, not knowing this before, and was accordingly discharged with a suitable reprimand, on paying a fine of Is. with costs, and promising to behave better in future. H ATTON.G ARDEN. Yesterday a young man, of the name of John Baker, a journeyman baker, was brought up before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. ROGERS and Mr. Ser jeant SELLoN, in custody of Limbrick, the officer, upon a peace-warrant, to answer the complaint of Miss Elizabeth Fraser, a respectable young lady, re siding at No. 38, Camden-street, Camden -town, for putting her in fear of bodily harm, under the following curious circumstances : On Sunday week Miss Fraser, accompanied by her mother, was proceeding homewards from the ' Scotch National Church when the defendant came up, and taking off his hat, made a low bow, ex pressed a hope that they enjoyed good health, and begged pardon. Addressing himself then to Mrs. Fraser, he very politely requested her permission to pay his addresses to her daughter, of whom, he said, he was enamoured, and trusted, if his behaviour was singular, she would not feel offended. Mrs. Fraser, and her daughter, who had never seen the man be fore in their lives, were rather surprised at the strangeness of his conduct, and telling him they knew nothing whatever of him, desired him to with draw. But he was not to be diverted from his pur pose in this way. He still pressed his suit, and pressed it so earnestly that Mrs. Fraser became indig nant; and her son, who preceded her, accompanied by her second daughter, overbearing some warm ex pressions, turned back to ascertain what the matter was : but as soon as he approached, and his mother complained to him of the annoyance she was under, Mr. Baker, with some degree of precipitation, with drew. On the following (last) Sunday, while the family were returning from the same church, at the same time, and in the same place, our love-sick swain again presented himself, and accosted Mrs. Fraser and the complainant, renewing his former suit, and pressing it with still greater earnest ness, hung upon them, till - Mr. Fraser coming up forced the fellow to decamp, by threaten ing to inflict summary punishment at the in stant upon him. The same evening, while the family were at home, and sitting at the window of their drawing-room, they recognized the defendant at the opposite side of the street making inquiries which they supposed to have relation to the com plainant, at the door of one of the houses, but they quickly saw him spurned from the door, which was slapped in his face. Sensible that sometimes the most disheartening obstacles are surmounted by per severance, the defendant watched an opportunity, and met the family again on Wednesday evening last corning from the Scotch church, and presenting him self to reiterate his love for the complainant, Mr. Fraser struck him with his umbrella and knocked off his hat, which, however, the defendant coolly picked up and went silently away, but it was only to rally his resolution ; for Mr. Fraser and the fa mily had not proceeded far, when, turning a corner of the road, the defendant stood before them, pre pared to carry his purpose or suffer another defeat. The latter was his chance, however; but Miss Fra ser was so exceedingly alarmed, and apprehensive that the defendant might at last, rendered desperate by his disappointments, offer violence to her, and the entire family being impatient of the annoyance, it was deemed necessary to obtain a warrant for his apprehension, to hate a legal restraint laid upon him. This statement Was corroborated by the sis ter and brother of the complainant, who accom panied her to the office. Mr. RoGEas asked the defendant what answer he had to make to the complaint ?—The defendant, who stood much dejected and abashed, replied that he was sorry for his conduct, and would take care not to renew it. Mr. ROGERS ordered him to enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace, which was accord ingly done, and the parties left the office. WORSHIP.S'FREET. Yesterday, Prudence Wheatley and Elizabeth Staples, her servant, were brought up on a warrant, charged before Mr. BENETT and Mr. BamiGHToN, with wilfully breaking three panes of glass, the pro perty of Mary Pitt, and also with assaulting and beating Thomas Eagles, • one of the officers at this office, in the execution of his duty. A lodger in the same house with Mrs. Pitt said, Mrs. Wheatley abused her, and said she went to meet her gentleman. She (witness) denied the charge, when she threw the tea-pot, and broke three panes of glass. Mrs. Wheatley—Yes, and you said my sister broke the windows; you called her a strumpet, and said I was a kept woman. Mrs. Pitt—You are a nuisance to the neighbour hood—you know you are.—(A laugh.) Eagles stated that he went yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, to apprehend . the defendants on a warrant; he knocked at their street door; the de fendant Staples looked out of the window s and asked him what he wanted, Ile told her he had a warrant against her sister (Wheatley). After re maining outside the door a few minutes, Mrs. Wheatley came to the window with the chamber utensil, and smothered him with the caz.tents. Staples then threw a brick at Lis head. He tried to break open the door, but could not; but at last, with the assistance of several parish officers, broke in at the back door. The . moment he entered their room, Staples took up the fire•tongs, and said " I'll split your ---- skull open," and Wheatley took up a knife and swore she would stab him if he touched her. She also threw a penny at him, and told him to get something with it. Mrs. Pitt identified Wheatley as having thrown the contents of the chamber utensil over the officer Eagles. Sirs. Wheatley—All, I'll Wheatley you ; I throw it over the mob; (ily a little ‘vent on the ofiiver's shoe. Ph 11;ps, a pari.h officer, said list night he went t,, rye a (i!! JTrs . Wl.e:t!!oy ; she also sawthered him with the contents of the chamber utensil. Mrs. Wheatley—lt's all false. Mr. BReuGuToN—Are you a married woman ? Mrs. Wheatley—l am kept, Sir, by a .Justice of the Peace, and have had a family of children by him. The Magistrates said the oflieers must be sup- ported in the execution of their duty ; they should, therefore convict the defendants in 4Os. each, and, if not paid, to be committed for one month. Mrs. Wheatley—l hope the Lord will punisl them for false•swearing; never mind, I have go 30,0001. yet. The following is a copy of the answer given by the Earl of ABERDEEN to the Memorial recently pre sented to his Lordship by the Merchants interested in Mexican affairs, in consequence of the expedition from Cuba : " Foreign Office, Aug. 6, 1829.

" DUNGLAS." The Great Whitwell Estate in Yorkshire, the property of Sir BELLINGHAM GRAHAM, Bart., is to be sold on Thursday next by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS. THE DUBLIN THEATRE..—The sale of this valuable property is fast approaching, its fate will be de , termined on Thursday, and we are assured from the best authority it Will be submitted to unreserved competition. Mr. GEORGE ROBINS will be the principal actor in thin interesting play ; and, if we are to judge of his exertions from an extract in the printed particular, he will not avail, himself of one of the admitted privileges of his profession, by exaggerating the truth, for he says— " I will a round unvarnish'd tale deliver," &c.—Suns. His commentary is very full, and compels us, from want of room, to confine our observations to the more piomi nent points—it is the only Theatre that is quite isolated— the altitude of the principal building admits of the most effective scenic operations for the stage—the patent insures the exclusive right of performing dramatic representations within the city of Dublin—the performances are not sub ject to the controul of a licenser—there is an express Act of Parliament of GEORGE the Third, restricting any minor theatre from acting the legitimate drama, and (which is exceedingly material) the penalty for offending against this wholesome law is very severe, and enforced by a summary and not expensive process—it is the only Theatre in the world that may be called rent-free—the total expence of erecting and completing it, including 20,0001., the esti mated value of the patent, was 145,6201.

With regard to the loan of 1,000,0001. ster ling from the Bank to the Corporation of London, to which we adverted yesterday, it turns out that the bar gain is not yet concluded. An application to that effect was, however, made yesterday to the Board of Directors, but it will not be decided upon till their next weekly meeting, which is on Thursday next. It is said, that previously to this application, a negociation for the loan of the sum required was opened by the London-bridge Com mittee with the Equitable Assurance Committee, and ac •;etled to, but with the stipulation that the whole of the money should he taken at once ; and this not suiting the views of the Committee, who only wish to take it in instalments as the works proceed, the offer was declined. There has been some occasional discussions to-day in the money-market,. on the propriety of a transaction of this kind by the Bank of England, and we have heard some strong doubts expressed on this subject, chiefly on account of the long period which must elapse before the repay ment of the money, which will be about 27 years, but partly also on account of its being a partial return to the principle of lending money on mortgage, which was un derstood to have been formally abandoned by the Directors. There, is said to be, further, a difference of opinion in the Bank parlour on the subject, although the supposition na turally is, that the application would not have been for mally made, without an almost certain prospect that it was to be acceded to. FIRE IN BULSTRODE-STREET.—Afirebroke out between twelve and one o'clock yesterday morning in the workshops and warehouses of Mr. NORTON, cabinet maker, at the back of the houses on the south side of Bulstrode-street, and threatened the destruction, not only of that side of the street, but also of some of the houses in \%relbeck•street. Happily, however, by the excellent operation of the fire-engines, which were, however, de layed for some time time in arriving, from the circum stance of there being a fire at Hampstead, the injury was limited to the total destruction of the cabinet-maker's workshops and warehouse, and to the partial injury of the three adjoining houses fronting in Bulstrode-street, and of their furniture. By the exertions of the respectable part of the spectators and neighbours, amongst whom Sir CHARLES DOYLE, Dr. COPLAND, and some officers of the Guards, were particularly distinguished, a considerable portion of property was saved, in which was a collection of valuable paintings, which, with other effects, were kindly received in Dr. COPLAND'S house, situate nearly opposite. The paintings, we understand, are insured in the IMperial Fire-office, and the other property in the Palladium, Sun, and British Fire-offices. We are sorry to add that considerable depredations were committed be ore the arrival of time police and military. ROBBE►dY IN DRURY-LANE.—Yesterday afternoon Mrs. ELIZABETH CARTER, and her son, of No. 91, Drury-lane, were brought up for final examination at Queen-square Office, and placed at the bar before G. W. Manatorr, Esq. charged with the robbery of Mrs. JOHANNA O'KEEFE, deceased, a lady of fortune, who re sided in the house at the time of her death, of Bank notes to the amount of 225/. After hearing the evidence of Mr. J. FARRE, M.D., Mr. FARRE, jun. &c., Mr. BARRY applied to the Magistrate to take bail for the prisoners. Mr. MARRIOTT said he could not think of such a thing. Mr. BARRY begged to observe that he had witnessp:;, to call, but he did not intend to call them 'Anti] the trial. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoners were fully committed. On Wednesday aftprnclon a melancholy acci dent happened at Woolwich, nearly opposite the Royal Arsenal.

The body of the man has not yet been found„ A STottm,—,Ga Monday night this city and vicinity were visited by a heavy storm, which resembled one of the scowling tempests of Llecerubrx, During the night the rain at times descetyled in torrents, accompanied by a number of very vivid hashes of lightning, and a high Westerly w;11.1, that approached a hurricane. The storm wee severely felt in the Frith, and it had a te - .,;4iiic ap pearance at Newhaven, where there ha. been a greater loss of boats sustained by the ,sliermen than they have suffered in any one see upwards of twenty yeors.

In Leith several chimney tops were blown down, and there is too much ground to apprehend still more painful tidings from see.—scolsman% SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our readers will see, from a copious extract t from the Dublin Evening Post, in another column, that the venerable Lord Eldon is mixed up in a very odd sort of way with a letter ad dressed to an Orangeman (Mr. Ellis), having for object to inflame the Orangemen of Ireland. What appears certain is, that an inflammatory letter has been written, received, and communi cated ; what remains to be established, is the actual writer. The Dublin Evening M a d charges the Government with playing the incen diary itself, by employing some one skilled in imitating the writing and signature of the vene rable Earl to address the inflammatory production to Mr. Ellis. To precipitate a rebellion is a well-known phrase in Ireland ; and the Orange men being in that state of excitement in which nothing is too extravagant to shock belief, a fabricated epistle from Lord Eldon to the Orangemen must, we suppose, be taken as a piece of treachery, to throw these gentlemen off their guard. But this would be a bold step on the part of Ministers. On the other hand, how are we to believe that an old stager, like the vene rable Earl, would commit himself so far as to write letters recommending insubordination and • tumultuary proceedings ? The imitation, how ever (if imitation it be), has deceived all the Post-office functionaries accustomed to the franks of the Noble Earl. If he be wronged by the imputation, he will no doubt come forward and justify himself. What puzzles us most in this business, is to understand (if the Noble Earl have written this inflammatory letter) what end could be served by it. Let us suppose the people of the North oflreland instigated to acts of violence which threaten to spread, and that the Orange Magis tracy throw off all remains of disguise, and become furious partizans ; this will only afford an ad ditional justification to the Duke of Wellington for the adoption of those measures which his own good sense must have indicated as necessary long ago. The people of England are lovers of peace at home, however they may be fond of ac counts of battles abroad. They know that civil broils lead to interruptions of business, to turn- , ing off hands, to failures, and to evils of all sorts. They will not only powerfully support the Government in all energetic measures, but they will do so in so decided — a manner that fac tion will not dare to hold up its head. In stimulating the Orangemen to acts of violence, Lord Eldon would be strengthening the hands of the Government, and affording to the Duke of Wellington the handle he is in want of for a reform of the Magistracy. In peaceable times there is room for the play of petty intrigues ; but when order is disturbed, men of rank are nothing if they separate themselves from the great interests of the nation. What is it wished to prove by the getting up of affrays between the Orangemen and the Catholics ? that Catholic Emancipation has not put an end to the dissen sions of the Irish ? But who said that it would ? The evils of Ireland are many, and of long dura tion. The settlement of the Catholic Question will enable us to attempt the settlement of Ire land, which before was impossible. However, whatever the Government may decide on doing with respect to Ireland, it is clear that the Earl of Eldon has but one course to pursue. There is at present presumptive evidence of his having implicated himself in a very unwarrantable course of proceeding. He must spew either that the letter is not what it has been represented, or that he did not write it. There is no middle course. The eyes of the nation are on him. It will not do to say that the letter is mislaid, or has been, destroyed.---Morning Chronicle. Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet and Mr. Gurney, as well as Mr. Bolland, whom we before named, are now severally mentioned as likely to succeed Sir John Hullock on the Bench of the Exche- short of the expect a ti ons f orme d o f hi m on his quer. The late Baron, a lth oug h h e f e ll f ar appointment, was by far the most able Judge of that Court, which has long stood at a very low ebb in respect to the professional estimation of the persons presiding in it. The exclusion of the great body of Attorneys from practising in the Exchequer, is, no doubt, the princip::.l abuse which has reduced the business transacted there to its present pitiful amount ; but the compara tive inefficiency of the Judges has also had a very powerful operation in discouraging suitors. if there be a real disposition to place the Court on such a footing as shall enable it to take its fair share of the business of the country, Baron Hullock's late brethren must have associated to them, in his stead, some able and active man, in the prime of life, from the foremost rank of the profession.
