SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The accounts from the seat of - war, in the German papers and private letters received by the Turkey mail to the 30th oh., add few details to the important despatch from the Russian head-quarters on the 26th, which we exchisivdy published yesterday. The statement of the Rus si:ms may be a little exaggerated—the discom fiture and disasters of the Turks may be carried a little beyond the truth—and the loss of the Russians may be represented as less than it really was ; but the great feature of the case (the existing positions of the parties) is not likely to be falsified. The Russians have passed the hitherto impregnable mountain bulwark of Con stantinople, without any extraordinary obstacle, or any remarkable loss. A large army, flushed with triumphs, and capable of deriving its sup plies from the Russian provinces on the Euxine, is now in the plains, within a hundred miles of the Turkish capital ; the chief garrisons of the Danube have fallen, and the fortress of Shumla has been so completely masked,, that the Grand Vizier did not know of the advanced movement of the enemy till they had passed the mountains. The force in this quarter has been completely iso lated ; all the towns to the Russian left—Aidos, essembria, and Bonrgas—have surrendered without a day's resistance in each ; and if they have assembled in those towns and on this line of road a sufficient force, there seems nothing to prevent their march to Constantinople in a week or ten days. The rapidity of their movements appears, by the German papers, to have as tonished, if not paralyzed, the Turks ; and their arrival at Kirk-kilissa removes all the doubts which have hitherto been entertained about the possibility of transporting a large army across the defiles on the southern side of the Balkan. It would be premature to decide on the certainty of an immediate advance to Constantinople, without knowing the amount of force which has crossed the mountains, or of that which is pre. pared to resist ; but we may observe, that no ob stacles of a local nature now exist to their on ward movement, the road to .the capital lying through a level country, and over a tract of about 140 miles. Nor does it seem at all necessary that the Russians should possess themselves of Adrianople before they proceed to the capital of the empire, as the former is situated about forty miles to the right of their present -line of march, or of the direct road from Kirk-kilissa to Con stantinople. As the Turks are now described as greatly dispirited by their recent reverses, and as they have shown that they cannot keep the open field against their antagonists, the imme diate success of the campaign must depend upon the relative amount of force with which the Russians have passed the Balkan, and the con fidence which they can entertain in an attempt upon the Turkish capital. The ease with which they have been allowed to pass the difficult and dangerous defiles of the mountains, where a small force 'could have offered a strong resistance to a large army, has surprised the European re sidents at Pera, and, together with the general insubordination of a race of slaves in any great calamity, presents a bad omen of a last success ful resistance. Yet we are told that the Sultan still lends a deaf ear to European diplomacy, whoa! interference can now be his only resource against the co.iquest of his empire ; and that he meditates a retreat upon aksia, rather than admit their good offices in favour of a distant. province over which he has letd no controul for the last ten years ! Tranquillity prevailed at Constanti nople up to the. departure of the mail, notwith standing the uneasiness of the inhabitants. As yet the Sultan had not removed his head quarters from the valley of Bouyoukderay. He had recently given audience there to the new Prussian Envoy, on which occasion nearly the same ceremonial was observed as on Mr. cordon's audience.— Times. in another column will be found the copy of a cur ious letter of M. de La Harpe, the tutor of the law! Emperor Alexander, addressed to the editors of the Globe, a Paris literary journal. The direct and immediate object of this vene rable person is to deity the origin of the Empe ror's conception of the Holy Alliance, which had been claimed by a Genovese enthusiast for Madame Krudener. The favourable testimony of k'r, de La Harpe, however, cannot disguise from the world that his Imperial pupil contracted a tendency towards religious mysticism about the time of his first appearance on the stage of mi litary enterprise, and that for the last seven or eight years of his life he became the bigotted opponent of popular innovation, under the con viction that he was promoting the cause of Heaven as well as that of Kings. If Madame Krudener could boast of brining about his re ligious conversion, Prince Metternich was his political instructor ; and the principles of the latter were so fully grafted on those of the for trier, that they appeared at last to spring from the same root. His Imperial Majesty, whose mind had .always been susceptible of serious im pressions, was so much overpowered with the extraordinary events of 1812—the conflagration of Moscow, and the dreadful vengeance inflicted on its authors—that his piety was exalted into a kind of enthusiasm, and he looked upon himself as the particular care of Providence. Thig'sen timent, at first perfectly consistent with the most enlightened regard to the rights of humanity, led him, on passing through Germany, and on entering Paris, to urge the establishment of constitutional freedom. Then it was that he wished to be thought a Liberal, and that he received with pride the compliment of Ma dame de Start, " that if he could not esta blish a uniform constitution for his extensive em pire, lie himself was a constitution." In a year or two afterwards, when the German youth who had assisted their sovereigns in expelling their French invaders, demanded a fulfilment of the promises made them in the hour of' trial, ho be came as much alarmed at their proceedings, as he had formerly been delighted with their dis plays of courage and their spirit of independence. Spies were appointed to watch over their con. duct in the Universities ; conspiracies were often detected in the simplest famession of conceited opinion ; and the Holy Altiance was formed with his concurrence into the high police of Europe. From the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle till the day of hi s death, in 1825, his whole soul seems to have been engrossed with the ellinieras of re volution, and all his efforts appear to have been directed to stereotype society according to the edition of Prince Metternich. It must be, how ever, acknowledged to his praise, that if his principles were in this respect wrong, he at least e howed that he could make sacrifices of interest or ambition to his declared convictions ; and the forbearance which he showed to the Porte in all its provocations, taken in 011110LiOli with the speedy renunciation of his policy by his succes sor, evinces both the firmness of his character and the sincerity of his professions.— Times. We noticed upon a recent occasion the al leged determination of the Irish Government to abstain from any thing approaching to direct in terference in the unhappy feuds which have so long disgraced the country committed to their guidance. Whatever may be thought of that determination, it would seem there is a presumed abatement of an almost intolerable nuisance ; for we speak on a private authority, conclusive on such a subject, when we say that appearances indicative of returning tranquillity, or, at least, of suspended hostilities, have within the last few days begun to manifest themselves in the politi cal horizon of the sister kingdom. We cannot suppose that a listless and slumbering inactivit:• could in any way contribute to a consummation so desirable; and we are more inclined to coin cide with the individual on whose authority we receive the statement, in accounting for the pre sent temporary armistice between the Hibernian belligerents as the result of a well-founded ap prehension, that spite of factious Magistrates and Juries, turbulence and crime will find it difficult to escape with impunity. Great pains have been taken to impress upon all parties, and all ranks, a conviction that it is the settled and unalterable resolution _of the Government to watch with unceasing vigilance, and endeavour to punish with exemplary severity, all offences against the public tranquillity ; and communications have been made to the individuals whose influence is supposed to be paramount with their respec tive adherents, that they can in no way render a service more acceptable in the highest quarter, nor more valuable to the infatuated multitudes directly concerned, than by earnestly enforcing, and sincerely seconding, the salutary, and ulti mately merciful intentions ofthe Administration. The communication with which we have been favoured proceeds from one too much accus tomed to the habitual course of Irish party politics, and too well acquainted with human nature, to expect an instantaneous and miraculous cessation of feuds, which have subsisted in full and ferocious vigour for centuries ; but it is con solatory to have the opinion of a competent tness enjoying the very best opportunities for aceuraie and dispassionate observation, that the object is not entirely hopel ess. —Morning Chron. We call the attention of our readers to a letter from Lord Rossmore, in another column, on the state of the North Of Ireland. His Lord ship, it will be seen, considers the recent dis plays of party spirit in that part of the country, to have been in a great measure caused by the ill-judged appeals to them from individuals of rank in England. He thinks that disarming both parties would in a great measure put an end to violence, as without arms there would be no processions or assemblages which keep alive irri tation. .He considers stipendiary Magistrates as indispensable, for some time at least.—lbid. TO THE EDITOR OE THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—My name and opinions respecting the pre sent state of the North of Ireland having appeared in the Morning Chronicle of d tte 22d inst., and knowing well the remarks that will be made on the paragraph alluded to by self-interested persons, to hold up to the people their best friends in a suspi cious point of view, I am under the necessity of addressing you, and of requesting you will be so kind as to insert the following in the Chronicle : I never have advocated partial disarmament.— Some months ago I did declare it as my opinio❑ that " such was the acerbity of party feeling in the province of Ulster, that the only means left to pre vent the effusion of blood, was to disarm both par ties in that distrac►ed part of the empire." Being on a subject of so much importance, allow me to take advantage of the opportunity to say a word or two more. Disarmament would entirely do away the conviction that either party was fa voured by Government. It would also prevent the assemblage of large bodies; for unless armed, they will not assemble. But disarmament will not re store harmony, or a confidence in the administration of the laws on the part of the people. To attain that desirable object the Magistracy should undergo a serious revision. Stipendiary Magistrates should be appointed pro tenzpore ; and, above all, the landed proprietors should exercise their influence by their example. Injudicious letters bearing the authority of high names, and which were circulated incautiously by some, and advised by others, amongst the people about a year ago, have been the sole cuuse of the late disturbances in the province of Ulster, inasmuch as such meetings had previously begun to die away. Far be it from me to insinuate that the authors of those letters had any other but the very best inten tions; but advantage was immediately taken of the tin/sappy error by self-interested ihdividuals to ad vance their political interests, and who influenced the assembling of the people under the mask of "pro tecting the Constitution." I knew of two of those political jugglers v, ho repaired to Ireland to pro mote those meetings, and who, after countenancing the indecorous conduct of the Established Clergy in the detraction of private character, and having set the people in motion by their presence and example, returned to England and left them to their fate. I i hope such letters will never be risked again amongst a sensitive people. It well behoves the Absentees who I ave immense estates in the fairest province of his Majesty's Em pire, at last to visit their tenantry. I have no hesi tation in saying, that no difficulty exists in recon ciling the peasantry of both persuasions to each other—for they are a generous, a brave, and a warm hearted people—if the absentees and great landed proprietors will go amongst them; thus would the hands of Gbvernment soon be liberated, and the sti pendiary Magistrate be no longer necessary. To those who may suppose they would incur personal risk by visiting a country so distracted by party, I would say—" You may travel alone and unarmed, by day and by night, with perfect security amongst such a people; and in the house of every peasant, no matter what may be his persuasion, you will experience shelter and find protection." I have now lived the greater part of my life in the midst of the people I speak of. They pass, un restrained, at all hours through my demesne arid by the walls of my house; some of them dissent from political opinions I have held; but during two and thirty years I have resided in the province of Ulster, it has been g !natter of indifference to me and to my family whether our doors arid windows were bolted and barred by day or by night. May I ask the 14 . nglish absentee, without offeni.-e, " can you ven ture to do so in England ?"—I have the J)onour to be, Sir, yngr obedient servant ! London, 24.111 1140, 1829. ROSSMORE. Measures are said to be iu contemplation, by which the New Police force will bo made useful in prgyenting and extinguishing fires. If tbis comes, as it appears to do, from any thing like authority, we'Mudt say of it that it has more of the ply/ preliminary abo4t it than we could wish to see employed upon the occasion. For how can the police prevent fires, nearly the whole of which arise from internal accidents, over which no external prevention can be ap plied, unless it is meant that the curfew should be re-established, and the New Police are-to knock at our doors, 49d ascert4in that fire and candle were pHt out at the appointed hour ? L Anil, as for helping to extinguish them when they do occur ? beyond alarrnin the ;mates and calling the engines, we do not see what they can do in that respect which will not intrench upon their more immediate duty, that of protecting the inhabitants and their property from depreda- j tion. Let them do this effectually, and the public will be quite satisfied if they leave the putting out of fires to the persons whose especial province it is to do so. But the • reason we . notice this matter is, because we do not think it can be advantageous to the new system to promise too much, or, in other words, for new brooms to undertake to sweep cleaner than is practicable. The New Police system will have quite enough to do, and diffi culties enough to overcome in its own peculiar department, without assuming by anticipation a merit where none probably is to be gained. The tire guard system in the metropolis is at present, and has long been, the most perfect part of its police. The promptness with which engines ar rive at fires, and the promptitude, skill, and in- trepidity of the firemen, are beyond all praise ; and we shall be happy to seethe New Police half as meritorious in its way. But there is no merit in assuming merit where there is none to obtain. I'o ensure safety to the lives and property of the inhabitants of the metropolis and its suburbs— to prevent crimes, and, when committed, to ap prehend and bring oanders to justice, are the main duties required of the New Police. Let it execute these vigilantly and faithfully ; and, when it has accomplished all that can be done in that way, will be soon enough to embark in du ties, IN hick, as now executed, we exceedingly doubt if they can be improved upon.— Morning - Herald. THE NAVY. COURT.•MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN DICKINSON. This Court-Martial h t as been' adjourned till to morrow, in consequence of a letter from Rear-Ad miral Sir Charles Paget, Commander-in-Chief on the Cork station, to the Port-Admiral here, Sir Robert Stopford, stating that King, one of the wit• nesses on behalf of the prosecution, axd a master, along with one of the crew, an important witness for Captain Dickinson, had been evpatched on board the Pylades sloop, in search of a rock which is said to have been recently discovered off the coast of Ireland, and it was impossible to procure their at tendance sooner than a fortnight ; and therefore, as their presence was absolutely necessary, the Court- Martial must be postponed. However, it has been suggested that the Court should commence its sit tings in the early part of the week, taking chance for the arrival of the witnesses; and should any un foreseen circumstances prevent them being there before that time, a short adjournment should take place. This suggestion has been adopted; and therefore a signal will be made this day, announcing that the Court-Martial will be held at nine o'clock to-morrow. Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Codrington is here in attendance. The witnesses summoned on the part of t he prosecution, and who have arrived, are— Capt. Ommaney, R.N.; the Hon. Capt. Maude, R.N., the Hon. Capt. Curzon, R.N., the Hon. Capt. Spencer, R.N., Capt. Baynes, R.N., Com mander Drake, - R.N., and H. S. Dyer, Esq., late Secretary to Sir E. Codrington. The deepest sympathy exists for Captain Dickin son, who is said to stand in the highest egtimation amongst a numerous and respectable circle of friends, as well as his brother officers ; the more so as this inquiry is sought for by him, as he entertains sin doubt that he will he able to justify in the most satisfactory manner his conduct at Navarin. The delay which has hitherto taken place has caused him the greatest anxiety ; but it has arisen through circumstances over which no party had any contronl. It is said there are thirty charges against him, but they all arise out of one, and are only made of the technical impeachment, and the main is—whether he used or abused a discretional power. I have just heard that the Melville, in which the Court Martial was intended to be held, has been, with the Ganges, the Kent, and the Gloucester, ordered for sea immediately. Their destination is as yet unknown, and there has been much specula tion upon this subject; some say for the Mediterra nean, others for South America. All are lost in con jecture. The order which came from the Admiralty was, that they should prepare for sea as soon as pos sible, and repair to Spithead, there to wait for further orders. EXECUTION OF JAMES BROWN. There is one rather extraordinary fact connected with this man's career. After he had attended the condemned sermon on Sunday in the chapel, where he behaved himself very decently, he sent for Mr. Baker, the reverend divine, who happened. to have been present in the chapel, and upon that gentleman visiting him, he said " Oh, Sir, there is. one circum stance that preys very much upon my mind, and I am sure I shall not be happy till I get rid of the burden by divulging it." " What is it ?" said Mr. Baker, kindly. Brown, with a deep sigh, rejoined, " Why, Sir, perhaps you recollect being robbed of a gold watch, chain, and seals, about fourteen mouths ago, in St. John's•square, Clerkenwell ?" Mr. Baker—No, I do not, indeed, Brown; I never lost such property in my life—you are mis taken._ Brown—Oh, yes, you did, Sir, and I will at once confess—l was the man that robbed you. Mr. Baker—lmpossible ! I never lost a watch and seals under such circumstances; you are wrong, indeed you are. The unhappy man persisted in declaring he had, and described the property. The Rev. Gentleman was almost astounded when he heard the description of the watch, and asked if it had not two gold seals attached to it ? Brown said it had, and that he had sold it for 51.; at the same time stating where he had disposed of it. The Rev. Mr. Baker said, that a friend of his, who bore some resemblance to himself, had been rob bed at the time and place he had mentioned; and that the watch and seals were his property. The gentleman who had been actually robbed by Brown is Mr. —, a respectable stationer, re siding in Stationers'-court, Ludgate-hill. Brown, in addition to the above, said that at the time he committed the robbery there were five others with him. After he had made the confession, the unhappy man seemed to be much relieved in his mind. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, an inquisition was taken at the Elephant and Castle, Pancras-road, before Mr. STIRLING, Coroner, on view of the body of Mis. MARY CROOKS, aged 45, who destroyed herself under the following distressing circumstances :—Riciraan Joullsow, rag-merchant, of No. 11, Ogle-street, Maryle bone, deposed that the deceased was his mother ; for some months past his father-in-law had been from home, owing to the embarrassed state of his affairs, which greatly affected the mind of his unfortunate mother, who gave way to the ntinOst despondency, and about three weeks back suspended herself from a rail of her bedstead, but was discovered in time to save her life. On Friday after noon last she left home, having first given th e k e y o f her b e d-room, as also the keys of hr trunks, to his (witness's) sister, observing that she should never require them again ; about three o'clock on Friday afternoon he went in search of her, and heard that she had been seen walking in the Regent's-park in a very melancholy state; lie subsequently ascertained that she had been taken out of the canal, in which she bad thrown herself, and that her body was at St. Pancras work-11PRSe. CHARLES MARSH, of Tot tenham-street, Fitzroy square, deposed that he was in the Regent's-park on Friday afternoon, when he heard that a woman had thrown her self into the canal; he went to the spot, and going i she was t a k en to t h e York ma d ; attended, but s h e was qu i te d ea d. n , s ucceeded in getting h er out ; s h e gave The Jury returned a verdict " That sh e d rowne d h e i se lf i n (Amlebacnoyn,v a u n ls d iv a e s s u tr r u g g e g on le a state of derangement.' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Mr. Harris, of the firm of Challis and Harris, salesmen. Newgate-market, attended before Mr. Al derman ANSLEY yesterday, upon a summons for un lawfully selling on Tuesday last, in Newgate-market, a lamb unfit for the food of man. Mr. Nobler, jun., who attended with the defendant, requested the chief clerk to be very particular in taking down the complainant's evidence. Joseph Spencer deposed, that he resides in Mint street, in the Borough, and is a butcher out of em ploy; and in passing through what is called the Bazaar in the mat ket,between ten and eleven o'clock in the forenoon, he saw the lamb hanging exposed for sale. _ _ _ Alderman ANSLEY asked bow it was exposed ? Spencer said it was hung up in the form for human beings to eat in the same premises with the good meat. He considered it not fit for human beings to eat, and wuuld rather eat potatoes alone than with such meat. Mr. Hobler, jun., objected to his giving these opinions ; and Mr. Alderman ANSLEY desired the witness to keep to facts. _ _ _ Spencer continued—He would not take his oath that the lamb positively died without being killed; but it was a " reg'lar casualty, what no Christian would wish to coat." He saw a ticket pinned on the leg, marked ‘c 1 ls. 6d.," as the price the whole sheep had been sold for. Alderman ANSLEY—Then it was not sold as good meat; that was a casualty price. Spencer—But not a dog's meat price, you know ; so I goes and gets two officers, and Mr. Harris called them aside. There are three or four entrances to the premises, and I understand the officers did not see what became of the lamb. I hear Mr. Harris has summoned some persons to speak about my charac ter ; but I hope you will see my character has no thing to do with Mr. Harris's case. He called John Richmond, a street-keeper in Newgate-street, who said Spencer fetched him to look at the lamb. He took Bates, another .patrol (a butcher by trade), with him, and he declared the lamb was a croaker (had died a natural death). Mr. Harris said the sheep had dropped in travelling. Witness ran for the inquest, but %N hen he returned the lamb was gone. Joseph Bates said the lamb was very fat, and he thought it m;frlit have fallen from being over driven. Mr. Holder—You know th►►t the meat of a ram lamb is highly coloured ? Bates—Yes; they are rindy and rank. Mr. Hobler—Old rams mot e so ? Bates—Rindy, with a yellow cast ; but this had more of the scarlet. Mr. Hobler—Was it tit to eat ? Bates—l con sider not: _ _ _ Mr. Nobler—State particularly what Mr. Harris said about it. Bates—He said we might take it away. " There it is; do as you think fit, but 111 have it sent away." I did not see it go. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY—According to the Lord Mayor's regulation, Mr. Harris should have sent for the clerk of the market, who \ v ould have seen to the disposal of it. 'sVm. Pitt, a butcher, of Caroline-place, Newing ton-butts, said a man named Brown asked him to take half a lamb with him. It was hanging in the Bazaar, but witness declined upon looking at it, doubting if it was a fairly killed lamb. Richard Brown deposed that he is a little butcher in Netvgate-market. He saw the lamb hanging up at Mr. Harris's, and agreed to give hint 3d. a pound for it, but speaking to three persons to take half of it with him, and they refusing, he would have no thing to.do with it. It looked fat and thick, but r►ther callow. James Stephens, of Wilson-street, Finsbury, said, Brown told him he had bought a lamb in the Bazaar, but had not money enough to pay for it, and wished witness to join him. Witness looked at it, and then declined taking part. Examined by Mr. Hobler—Spencer asked him to come up on Friday, but he refused, because it in terfered with his business. Spencer then summoned him for this day. Alderman ANSLEY—And very unnecessarily. There was no occasion to take you out of your busi ness upon such a thing as that. James Cockerell said, Spencer called him to look at the lamb, saying he hail kid a wager it was a croaked one. He agreed it was one without going nearer than twenty yards from it. Cross-examined by Mr. Hobler—Spencer said he owed Mr. Harris a grudge, and he would now serve him out. Mr. Hobler 'asked if he need proceed, having shown that the charge was made from malignant motives. Mr. Payne (the second clerk) —The cause is one thing—the effect another. AltlerMall ANSLEY—Yes, I think you should answer the charge. Mr. nobler immediately called John Pavit, of Fading, Essex, who deposed that the lamb belonged to him. It had been fairly slaughtered, but it was tired at the time, and there fore was muddled. He expect Mr. Harris would have got 4s. per 81bs. instead of only 2s. If he had taken less, witness should have considered Mr. Harris unfit to receive any more consignments from him, and he sent him six or seven thousand sheep in a year. He considered it tit for food, and should have made 6d. or Bd. a pound of it if he had sold it himself. Alderman ANSLEY—Yes. It was not putrid—it was not bad? Mr. Harris—Oh, no. I would not have gone to have sold it, if it had been; certainly not. Alderman ANSLEY—No one has proved that the meat was bad—that it was putrid. It will be of no use to carry these proceedings further. Mr. Payne—Sir, Bates swore it was not fit for human food. Mr. Habler—And Mr. Pavit swears he could have obtained 6d. a pound for it. Mr. Payne—But the defendant himself sent it away for dog's meat. Alderman ANSLEY—Some swear it was good, and some that it was not, and what can be said ? When such meat comes, only throw it in the back of the shop, and put a label " unsound," and get the opi nion of the Clerk of the Market. There is more noise made about this than there ought to be. Mr. Payne—We are all interested- in having wholesome meat. Alderman ANSLEY—WeII, the lamb has now been boiled down for dog's meat, and the party has been a loser by it, and there is an end of it. Mr. Payne—This appears to be as strong a case as any that have been proseeuted. Alderman ANSLEY—Oh, Sir, I know what a ram lamb is—it will be discoloured. Mr. Hobler—Then you dismiss the case. Alderman ANSLEY—Yes, there is no proof. Summons dismissed. Mr. Dunsby, the foreman of the Inquest of Far ringdon With►n, applied for a summons or sum monses against certain persons who had sent an un sound body of beef to Newgate-market that morn ing for sale. It was consigned to Messrs. Challis and Harris, but Mr. Harris refused to receive it, and the clerk of the market being called in, con demned it to be boiled for dogs' meat. Bates, tile patrol, being questioned by Mr. Alder man ANSLEY, sa;(1 the carcass was brought in a cart belonging to Mr. Pack, of Cheshunt, and lie learnt from the driver that it. was a cow which had died in calving. It belonged to Captain Sandon, of Hod desdon, and was dressed by a butcher named Chap man, of Cheshunt. Tile hide, head, heart, and the tongue, cut out for the salters, were brought in the same cart. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said it would not do to summon the gentleman er Mr. Chapman upon such a story as this. He would grant a summons for the carrier. Mr. Duusby said there was some misapprehension about the proceedings of the inquest. They were not directed against the retail butchers, but exclu sively the salesman, who received the same commis sion, whether the meat was sound or unsound, or sold to the sausage-maker or the dog's-meat boiler i gld, by the way, he understood it was nearly immaterial which it was sold to, on account of the intimacy between the two, for it was a fact that the sausage maker would buy materials from the horse-boiler.— " I believe, Bates," continued Mr. Dunsby, " you know something about a second unwholesome body of beef that was exposed for sale this morning in the market." Bates said he did, and proceeded to state that the same man who gave him information of the one re jected by Mr. Harris, told him that one had been received by another person. He saw it, and consi dered it unfit for human food. One quarter was con veyed by a man named Gilbert Pritchard to the premises of a sausage-maker, and witness then sent Mr. Fisher to inspect the remainder. Whether he condemned it, or what became of it,he did not know. The Alderman said he could do nothing in this case until he had Mr. Fisher, the clerk of the market's report. Robert Clark was re-examined on suspicion of having robbed a country solicitor of 521. in the pit at Astley's Theatre.—He was remanded to find bail. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday, James Mawby, clerk to Mr. Chilcoat, of Bond -court, Wa'brook, attorney, appeared before Mr. BROUGHTON, on summons, on a charge Of Con• spiring with another person, at present unknown, to throw John Beazley into prison upon a pretended debt of 1001. Mr. Chilcoat was not present, being out of town when the complaint was made to the Magistrates, and of course unaware that a summons had been issued for his attendance. John Beazley stated, that the defendant bad lodged in his house about seven months, and quitted him last March, and the complainant had a claim upon him for about 2/., and meeting with him one morning, when he Wit?. taking down the shutters of Mr. Chilcoat's office in Walbrook, asked him for it, and told him that, in justice to his family, he must take out a summons for the money if it were not paid. The defendant told him that if he did so, it would be the ruin of him (the complainant) and his family, and send him to the King's Bench. He did take out a summons, and the Com Missioners upon hearing it, ordered the defendant to pay the debt 1/. 19s. 9d. and the expenses. _ _ Mr. BROUGHTON—When was it that the case was heard before the Commissioners? Complain ant—lt was on Monday—this day reek. To further questions, the complainant replied that he was arrested on Wednesday morning at break fast time for 100/., at the suit of a person named Fisher, whose name he had never before heard. Elizabeth Fanner, Mrs. Beazley's sister, was at the Court of Requests with her brother-in-law, when the summons was heard. The defendant Mawby was ordered to pay, and she heard him say to Beazley," I'll have you in the King's Bench, and ruin you." Thomas Garrett, the Sheriff's officer, produced a writ which he had received, " Wm. Jonathan Fisher v. Beazley," for 100/., upon which he and his as sigma Josephs arrested the present complainant Beazley. He did not know Mawby, and had not seen him till the present time. The writ was given to his assistant Joseph. Mr. BaouGicroN-1 believe the common law at tornies all have their sheriff's officers, whom they usually employ ? Witness—They have. Mr. BROUGHTON—And have you been employed by Mr. Chilcoat ? The witness said no, he had never done business for Mr. Chilcoat before. Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you know any thing of the defendant ? Witness—l can't say I ever saw him before. In answer to other questions, the witness said that if a writ were brought, the officer executed it as a matter of course. Joseph Josephs, the assistant, said the writ was brought to him on the 18th by the defendant, who represented himself as clerk to Mr. Chilcoat, the attorney, %%hose name appeared on the writ. The witness, knowing that Mr. Garrett did not do busi ness for Mr. 6hilcoat, made some inquiry, in answer to which defendant said, the officers he usually em ployed had offended them. He said he wished the writ to be executed that afternoon, as he was afraid Beazley would be going out of town. The witness appointed to meet Mawby at a public-house called the Barley-mOw, opposite Beazley's house, but ar rived there 20 minutes beyond his time, and did not meet with hint He went toßeazley's, after having made some inquiries, but not meeting with him, went the following morning with Mr. Garrett and arrested him. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you know Mawby ? The officer had never seen him but twice—when he brought the writ on the 18th, and now that he saw him in the office. Mr. BROUGHTON—Then it is in the power of any man to swear a debt against another, and get him arrested without further ceremony ? The officer ad mitted that it was so. A sheriff's officer thought it sufficient to hold the King's writ, taking it for granted that it was correctly obtained. Mrs. Beazley stated, that on Tuesday evening Josephs called to arrest her husband, who was not at home, , and at the same time she saw the defend ant Mawby going up the steps of the Barley Mow. She guessed the officer's business, knowing that Mawby had a spite against her husband, and she saw Mawby look hard at their house two or three times. The officer Josephs being questioned, said that he did not see any thing of Mawby on Tuesday even ing, and in fact saw him but on the two occasions before -mentioned. Mr. Buddy, a clerk in the Middlesex Bill-office, produced the affidavit of William Jonathan Fisher, swearing that " John Beazley owed him 100/.and up wards, for leather, and for money laid out and ex pended for the said John Beazl e y, by said de ponent." lie had no recollection of having seen Mawby before, and could not identify the person by whom the affidavit was sworn, on account of the number of persons who daily attended at the office. A precipe was brought to the office and affidavit sworn, and the writ issued as a matter of course. Mr. BROUGHTON—Then it is in the power of any man by swearing to a fictitious debt, to get a writ for arresting another ?—The witness admitted that it was ; and from his explanation it appeared that the present practice was an improvement upon that which formerly obtained, when any plaintiff choose to come and swear to a debt, had a writ issued forth with. It is now necessary that a precipe should be endorsed by a known attorney, with his name and residence. The defendant, being asked what defence he had, said he was not guilty. He had been advised by his counsel not to offer any defence then, but to leave his case and the evidence in the hands of the bench. Mr. TWYFORD, w!io had heard the former part of the case, now came Upon the bench, and Mr. BROUGHTON Informed him, that after the examination on Saturday, Mawby came to the office, and, in explanation, said that Fisher was a hair dresser at Hythe, in Kent, from whom he, as Mr. Chilcoat's clerk, received instructions against Beaz. ley in the regular course of business, and said he would bring forward the books to prove it; but he now declined making any defence. • A brother of Mr. Cbilcoat stated that having read the report of the case in the Times, he had written to his brother, who would no doubt come post to London directly he received the letter. He could not state any thing respecting his brother's business. Mr. TWYFORD, after some further conversation, suggested that the prisoner should be prosecuted for forgery, if no person named Fisher• appeared. Defendant asked to be admitted to bail, but this was r efused in the present stage of the proceedings, and he was remanded.
