fire in their own defence, and lives are lost ; and the police are execrated on one side, while the people are called insurgents by the other. If a receipt were wanting t o ren d er t h e administra tion of justice both hateful and despicable to an impetuous race of men, it would be this of in trusting a large authority to petty functionaries, and to command the enforcement of that autho rity by a miserable handful of armed men, who are never feared until they have actually had re course to violence, and being one and all known to the Nas , atitry, are ever after marks for 4reacheinus and bloody revenge. A magistrate invariably to be on the snot where the 04. Irish where people meet 4:;.: large Undies, the police power is on service ; otherwise the Government itself may lose ground with its snh jects, through the unfitness of its lowest agents for a duty which the highest ought not to dis dain or neglect. But with all these allowances, we affirm that even already emancipation has be gun its task. Distrust of the State exists no longer amongst the people. The law of religi ous liberty has not, indeed, at the end of three months, effected the civilization of a country, which bad institutions had for centuries retained in perhaps a worse barbarism- than that wherein they found it. But though hea& may he broken, or peasants shot, and the unfortunate policemen in revenge be murdered, the people of Ireland are, what they were two years ago, minis their hatred of the Government. It is too true, we fear, from all accounts, that the Orangq faction are endeavouring diligently to inflict such wrongs upon the Catholics as may produce retaliation, and so give pretence for anti-Catholic English men to urge an interference of the British Go vernment by arms. If it be so, we would PP treat the Government to interfere no further than by disarming the Orange yeomanry, dis missing the Orange Magistrates recommending, the country gentlemen everywhere to live upon their estates and conciliate their tenants, and become the ministers of peace and justice throughout their native land. These are tha natural and lawful links between the State itself and the lower orders of the people. The Catho lic gentleman, as well as Protestant, ought to co operate heartily for this great end, since they have henceforth an equal interest in its fulfil ft,en t.— Times. It would seem that the modern Columbus, who was sent on a Voyage of Discovery to the Terra Incognita of Clare, has not reported fa vourably to head-quarters, as it is positively as serted that Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald will not stand; indeed as much might have been conjectured from the failure of the last Meeting at Ennis ; however, to prevent the labour of the Explorator being quite lost, a diverSion is attempted by af fecting to get up an opponent to Mr. O'Connell in the person of Mr. O'Gorman, brother to the Irish Catholic Secretary. This little ruse de terre will, of course, end in nothing, but it shows that the contriver of it is bent upon doing something to save his credit. Flectere si nequeo Superos, Acheronta movebo: that is, if he cannot bring the Brunswickers to the scratch, he will play the Devil among the Papists.—Morning Chronicle. We copy from the Dublin Morning Re gister pf Friday last an account of the proceed logs of the Society for the Improvement of Ire land, held on the preceding day. At the meet ings of that Socle:v the poor Colonies of Hol. land is a subject frequently canvassed ; and Mr. Leader, on this occasion, entitling to certain Re ports of these Colonies, of which the Society had been put in possession, observed, is One fact ap peared on the face of the Reports of these So cieties, that in 1821 there was a pauper population of 753,000, and in 1828 there was not a single mendicant in Holland." We know not how far Mr, Leader is himself aware, but the re.ad t ars of the report of this speech would hardly suppose, from his speech, that the 753,000 pauper popu, lation is the pauper population, not of Holland, lent of the whole kingdom of the Netherlands, and that the number of paupers has not mate sully, if at all, diminished. It is very natural for An Irishman, when be hears that there are no menctiants in a country, to suppose that there Are no paupers, because with him every pauper is A mendicant ; but a Dutchman distinguishes be tween pauper and nunitlicant. In Holland the mendicant is punished, hut the pauper is re lieved. The Dublin Evening post, referring t o an ar ticle in the Chronicle, some dc,ky.a ago, introducing to our readers information iibs tained, by Major Moody, .respecting the pauper Colonies of Holland, has these observations:— " The preceding article is not given so much with a view of corroborating our opinion, as to the prac ticability of the measure proposed, as for Ow pPr., pose of showing that we are not singular in the judgment we adopted. We are not, we repeat it, against poor Colonies—we are not against the culti• vatipu of Waste Lands, as some of our Dublin con temporaries absurdly insinuated ; we are in favour, on the contrary, of every measure which can be tie, vised to ameliorate the condition of the peasantry, or lighten the burthen of an neemployed popula -604. We believe that the Waste Lands of Ireland would afford sufficient employment for the labouring people ; all that we doubted was, that the means at the disposal of the Benevolent Society pf Ireland *vete not commensurate to the end designed. At the same time, we should like to see a trial on a small scale; and we hope that thc society may be enabled to purchase the adequate ground. But we ace no reason whatever to change oar opinion, that nothing even in the way of Home Colonies can be achieved for Ireland, without the adoption of some system of Poor-rates, making the provision for the poor compulsory upon the comparauvely rich." We agree in opinion with our Irish contem porary, that the exertions of the Benevolent So ciety, unconnected with a measure which shall compel the rich to second them, will fall short, very far short, of its object. The point to be Aimed at, is the increase of the agricultural pro 4ue4t of Irelatid by an improved cultivatis)n, but a Madre diminution of the share of that produce paid to the landlord. While the ruinous coin petition for laud, by a population depending upon land as an only means of existence., eon dimes, the landlord, and these between him and the actual cultivator, take nearly all, leaving the latter in penury and rags. We have always eon, onded, that till the support of the destitute is thrown on the land—which would force an im proved cultivation, except the landlords chose to abandon their lands to the poor—the peasant will never be allowed to make any savings, with out which any thing like improvement is impos sible. The connection between a provision for the poor, and an improved cultivation of the soil, has suggested itself to intelligent Irishmen long ere now. In Bush's Hibernia Curiosa, published in Dublin in 170, the writer observes, " Happy would it be for the lowest class of people (whom oppression and want of employment too often and unjustly subject to the imputation of being idle), if the method of parochial provision in En g land were introduced into this country, especially ; the southern parts of it, where the pocr really are infamously neglected. And the case of the lower class of farmers, indeed, which is the greater number, is littlebetter than a state of slavery, while the Priest and subordinate landlords, in ease and affluence, live in haughty contempt of their poverty and oppresion, of which the first proprietors are but.-too seldom, indeed, for the interest of this kingdom, spectators. The natural consequences of this scene of things among the inhabitants, is visible even upon the lands of this country in general, which, though by nature, a very considerable part of them, rich and fertile, yet they almost universally wear the face of poverty, for want of good cultivation, which the miserable occupiers really are not able to give it, and very few of them know how, if they were; and this indeed must be the case while the lands are canted (set to the highest bidder, not openly, but by private proposals which throws every advantage into the hands of the landlord) in small parcels of 201. or 301. a year, at third, fuurth, and fifth hand from the first proprietor. From the most attentive and mi nute inquiries at many Places, I am confident that the produce of this kingdom, either of corn or cattle, is not above two-thirds at most of what, by good cul tivation, it might yield. Yet the gentlemen, I be lieve, make as . much or more of their Man estates any in the three kingdoms, while the lands for equal goodness produce the least, The consequences of this, with respect to the diltrerent classes are obvious, —the landlords, first and subordinate, get all that is made of the land, and the tenants, for their labour, get nove;•ty awl vowcrs,” 'the landlords get all that is made on the land, and the tenants, for their labour,getpoverty and potatoes ! The same causes produce the same effects still, and will continue to produce them. We defy Mr. Leader, and all the philan thropists of Ireland, to effect any alterations in the proportional shares of produce received by the landlords and occupying tenants, so long as the poor and necessitous must possess land as the Condition of thpir eNistenee, and will be con, tent with potatoes and salt. There is no use in declaiming against oppression in the abstract, and Irish landlords as oppressors in particular. if the present race of landlords in Ireland were to be swept off by an Egyptian plague (the worhl has suffered greater calamities), and the soil of Ireland wm to he shared anew among gentry from England, the circumstances of Ire land remaining the same, the new landlords would be as bad .as the present in the course of a single generation. J f Government, impelled by the gentry of England, do not interpose in behalf of ihp poor of Ireland, that country will remain, as it has done, a prey to poverty and misrule.—lbid. In adverting to the proceedings which took place the other flay in the Vestry-room of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, relative to the imposing new rates for the relief of the poor, &c., we ex pressed our approbation of the course pursued by Mr. Fenn in taking specific objections to the Overseers' accounts, and requiring the vouchers in order to ascertain how much of the taxation raised for the maint4nariee of the poor was really applied to its legitimate object, or diverted to other purposes. A Mr. Dalgleis!), and other supporters of the " established system" of p a rish taxanion, which is certainly Hot that of economy, were exceedingly indignant at what they were pleased to call a most irrelevant mode of proceeding, though it would be difficult to discover whai cooldThe more relevant than to inquire whether any, and how much, of the old rate, or tax, had been mis-spelit before a new one was imposed. It was denied, at the same time, that the officers who put in the accounts were bound by law to produce the vouchers. A Mr. Wilde answered this by saying that the law re quired a full, just, and true account, and that the account could not be so described unless it were accompanied by the vouchers. In this view of the suhject we stated our per fect concurrence, and observed that the Act of Parliament, which required a perfect and just account, impliedly, at least, required that the vouchers should be produced, without which there could be no real account whatever —no account which an auditor, who did his duty, should conscientiously pronounce to he cor rect. We are glad to find that Mr. Fenn has since followed up this matter, .and applied to the Magistrates at Bow-street to enfbrce the penalty provided by law against the parish offi cers, for neglecting to furnish a just, true, and Serfect account. This application was made on aturday, as our Police Report stated ; but the parish authorities, who are endued with wonder ful alacrity when a parish feast is in question, move very slow on some other occasions, and in the present instance they did not move at all. In fact, for some reason or other, which did not I transpire, they did not " show" at the Police Office, tool the mater was adjourned to Tues day (this day). Jo the mean time we have looked into the Act under which the application is made, which is the 17th Geo. 11., cap. 39, and, in our opinion, it fully bears out the inter pretation put upon it by Mr. Fenn and Mr. Wilde, as to the nature of tlip accounts - required to be furnished by the parish officers. It is a remedial act, and, therefore, according to the established principle ofconstruction, is to be construed liberally that ia, it is not, like a mere penal Statute, to be taken according to the strict letter, but is to be understood in that way which i 5 best calculated to carry its object more effectively into execution. Wow what is its object ? That we learn very plainly, indeed, from the preamble, which states, " Whereas, by reason of some defects in af t Ap t of parliament made in the 43d year of Queen Elizabeth, entitled, An Act for the Relief of the Poor,' the money raised for that purpose is liable to be misapplied, and there is often great difficulty and delay in raising the same : Per remedy whereof, be it enacted, &c. that from and after the 24th day of June, 1744, the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor shell, yearly, and every year, within fourteen days after other Overseers shall be nominated and appointed to slimed them, deliver in to such sticaeeding Overseers a just, true, and perfect account, in writing, fairly entered in a book or books to be kept for that purpose, anti tined by the said Churchwardens and Over seers, lie;-chy directed to account as aforesaid, under their hands, of ,aij sums of money by them received, or rated and assessed, 4 n4 not re pe;ved ; and also of all goods, chattels, stock, and materials, that shall be in their hands, or in the hands of any of the poor, in or4er to be wrought ; and of all moneys paid by such cburchwardens and Overseers - 0 accounting, and of all other things concerning their said office." The Act then guea on to say that, " after having delivered over all sums of money, and other things in their hands, the ac count shall be :verified uy oath, and the book in which it is entered shalt be in ccine public place in the parish, open to inspection of 'all who are aESI2;;SO, or are liable to be assessed, on payment of sixpence; rsl4 that the officers shall, on de mand of such persons, f0r0i.7.11 copy or copies of the same, or any part thereof, as the rate of sixpence for every three hundred words, and so in proportion. In the second section it is enacted that, in default of the previous provi sions being complied with, either by refusal or neglect, it shall be lawful for any two or snore Justices of Peace to commit the parish officers so offending to the common gaol until they shall have given such account, or shall have done such other things as the firtt section of the Act enjoins. The 14th section moreover provides that whenever parish officers refuse or neglect to obey the orders and directions of the Act, in cases where no penalty is before provided, every such officer or officers shall, upon oath made within two calendar months after the of fence committed, before any two or more Justices of the Peace, forfeit for the use of the poor of the parish a sum not ex ceeding five pounds, nor less than twenty shil lings, to be levied by distress and sale of the of fender's goods." Thus this Act was expressly passed to remedy defects in the 43d of Elizabeth, which defects led to the misapplication of the money raised for the support of the- poor. To prevent that misapplication in future, the church wardens and overseers are required yearly to fur nish a "just, true, and perfect account." But if an account is furnished without the vouchers, how can it be called a true, just, and perfect ac count, or how can it operate to check the mis application of the money ? for those who are to allow the accounts should not only see that the money is laid out honestly, but that it is also laid out providontly. This remedial law would riot operate at all as a remedy to the mischief complained of, unless whatever is requisite to prove the account a true and perfect one be fur nished along with the account itself. Besides the Act says that the churchwardens and over seers shall deliver over all sums of money, goods, chattels, ,and other things as shall be in their hands, and, therefore, we contend, all documents relative to their office, which the parishioners have a right to inspect as far as they are con nected with the accounts.—Morning Herald. SALES OF ESTATES. Yesterday the Freehold Estates in the parishes of East Ham and West Ham, Essex, the property of Lord Henniker, deceased, were disposed of at the Mart. There was much competition for the vari ous lots, the land being some of the most productive in the county of Essex, and only five miles from the n►etropolis. The property, which was divided into eight lots, comprises several farms, with farm-houses, agricultural buildings, cottages, and tenements, and 400 acres of arable and marsh land, the principal part under market garden cultivation, and the whole free from land•tax, subject only to an out-going of 41. a•year to a charity. The estates, including a butcher's shop, slaughter-house, and premises ad-. joining the high road from Barking to West Ham, is now let on old leases, which expire at Michael mas, 1830, at a clear net rental of 1,7751. per an num. The whole realised the sum of 39,980/. The timber on the property, - it is stipulated, should be taken at a valuation. The marsh land produced a very good price—one lot sold for more than 1151. per acre, The Manor of East Ham Hall, a portion of the late Nobleman's property, was sold by private contract for 1,5001. The Freehold Estate of Norham Mains, North Durham, the property of Sir Francis Blake, Burt., comprising the firms of East arid West Mains, on the South Banks of the Tweed, containing 904 acres of arable and pasture land, with farm-houses and agricultural buildings, producing a rental of 1,6201. per annum—knocked down at 51,000/. The Freehold Elcot Park and Mansion, nearly completed by the late proprietor, Anthony Bacon, Esq. on the Bath road, near Newbury, Berks, with offices, pleasure-grounds, lawn, range of graperies, gardens, arid land, in all 120 acres, sold fur 12,8001. The Freehold Marshalls Estate, mansion, park, gardens, pleasure grounds, lawn, offices, farming buildings, and land, in all 114 acres, Romford, Essex, the late residence and property of Rowland Stephen son, and which cost him with the improvements and embellishments nearly 35,0001.—knocked down to Hugh Mackintosh, Esq. for 14,700/. The Freehold stone Hall and Broadham Manor Estate, near Godstone, Surrey 7 -the Stone Hall mansion, offices, out-buildings, and 421 acres: of meadow, arable, and wood land, a water corti-mill, and the manor of Broadham and right of com monage-22,3301. The Freehold Great Glemham Estate, part tithe free and exonerated from land -tax, Suffolk, com prehending a large mansion, with offices, range of stabling and carriage houses, walled gardens and pleasure grounds, together with three farms, farm houses, cottages, agricultural buildings, and 720 acres of arable meadow and pasture land—sold in three lots for 34,500/. The Freehold South Park Estate, residence, park, offices, cottages, farming buildings, pleasure grounds, and pasture and wood land, in all 152 acres, Pens burst, Kent, free from land tax-10,000/. The Freehold, Below Hyde Hill Estate, with the Manorial rights thereto belonging, near Seven Oaks, Kent, containing 590 acres of meadow, pasture, arable, and wood land, divided into four farms, with farm houses and out-buildings-6,5901. LONG.-DEPENDING Sum—The great cause which has been many years depending in the Court of Arches relating to the estate and effects of the late Sir Timatio 1141431%tc40),T, an eminent physician in King CHAut.Es's reign, has been finally determined in favour of Dr. BOUCHER, with full costs of suit. The case was briefly this :—Sir THOMAS left three daughters, who all died without issue, and the last survivor of them, who lived to the age of 90, became possessed of the whole fortune, and left it, to the value of 40,000 L, with ou t knowing the person who was heir-at-law. Nearly thirty different parties put in their claim; who, after having many of them spent their whole substance, dropt their suit, and gave place to others. The determination was rendered the more difficult, because Sir Trro:gAs having risen from an obscure condition never mentioned his rela- tions, so that to prove a collateral affinity it became neces sary to send to Tome, where, Sir TimmAs being a papist, it was hoped some register of his birth, or record of his family might be found ; the proceeding& by this means became expensive, and for several years Dr. BoucirEn and a family of the name of MILLINcTorr, in Staffordshire, were the only parties to the suit. LONDON OUT OF TOWN.—The follow ing true and sarcastic sketch is in Blackwood of the present month :—" Tickler. —lirighthelmstone, when I knew it, was a pleasant fishing village what like it is now. I know not ; hut what I detest in the great folks of your time is that insane selfishness which makes them prefer any place, however abominable, where they can herd together in their little exquisite coteries, to the noblest domains, where they cannot exist without being snore or less ex posed to the company of people not exactly belonging to their own particular sect. How can society hang together long in a country where the Corinthian captal takes so much pains to unrift itself from the pillar? Now-a days, Sir, your great Lord, commonly speaking, spends but a month or six weeks in his ancestral abode; and even when be is there, he surrounds himself stupidly with a cursed town-crew, a pack of St. James's-street , :• fops; and May-fiir chatterers and intriguers, who give them selves airs enpugh to turn the stomachs of th e plain squirearchy and their womankind, and render a visit to the castle a perfect nuisance. * *. They seem to spare no pains to show that they consider the country as valuable merely for rent and game—the duties of the magistracy are a bore —county meetings are a bore r —a farce, I believe, was the word—the assizes are a cursed bore—fox-hunting itself is a bore, unless in Lei cestershire, where the noble sportsmen, from all the winds of Heaven, cluster together, and think with ineffable con. tempt of the old-fashioned chase, in whi c h th e grea t man mingled with gentle and simple, and all comers—sporting is a bore, unless in a regular Lague, when a dozen lord.. lings murder ph e asants by the thousand, with ou t h ear i n g the cock of one impatrician fowling Piece—except indeed some dandy poet, or philosopher, or punit er , h as b een a d • mitted to make sport for the Philistines. In short, every thing is a bore that brings the dans into personal collision of any kind with people that don't belong to the world." LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, jIILY 6. PURDIE V. DDLLETT. This was a bill filed to set aside an agreement for the transfer of certain leasehold property. The transactions out of which this present pro ceeding arose commenced in 1806, at which period Richard Purdie, father of the plaintiff, was entitled to certain leasehold property, consisting of five houses, situated in Kingsland-road, Shorediteh, held upon a lease of 21 years from 1797, and producing an'an nual profit rent of 841. 18s. Flaying become in debted to Mr. William Millen' in the sum of 2131., for advances in cash, Purdie deposited in his hands the lease of the- houses, by way . 'of 'sectiritv. In 1511; a further advance of 621. was - made by Millett to Purdie, and the latter handed over to his creditor an agreement for a lease for five other house's, held for a term of 21 years, commencing in.lBlo, at a net profit rent of 36/. 15s. yearly Millett lent Purdie 115/. 15s. Bd. more, on two several occasions in 1813 ; when the entire debt amounted to 390/.1.55. Bd. At the period of the last loan the mortgagee entered into possession of the prokrty, and received the rents, commencing frOm Michaelinas; 1813: From the statements of the plaintiff; it Would seem that there was a clear annual rent of'l2l/. I3s. ap plicable to the payrnent of the original debt, with in terett. On the 18th of February, 1815, Purdie executed a deed, making over the ten houses to Millett, in consideration of the balance of the debt then due. The bill prayed that the agreement of the 18th of February, 1815, might be declared frau dulent and void, or only valid as respects the balance due to Milieu at the time of its execution; that an account be taken of the rents and profits 'received from that to the present period; and that allowance be made for the valt.e of the lease as yet unexpired. Without calling on the defendant's Counsel for any answer to the foregoing case, The MASTER of the ROLLS said, under all the cir cumstances, the case was one in which the Court would not interfere, and the bill must be dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY G. THE KING V. MOORE AND OTHERS. Mr. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why the defendants should not be brought up to receive the judgment of the Court, unless they paid a moiety of the costs of the reference.—Rule nisi granted. lIARRATT AND OTHERS V. WISE AND ANOTHER. Lord TENTERDEN delivered the opinion of the Court in this case, which was argued a few days ago on a rule nisi for a new trial. The action was on a policy of insurance on goods by the ship Ann, valued at 953.51., effected with the South Devon In surance Company, of which the defendants were Directors. The risk insured against was at and from Liverpool to Buenos Ayres. The loss was alleged to have taken place by capture. The COURT said, the rule for setting aside the verdict must be discharged.—Rule discharged ac cordingly. RUSINESS OF THE COURT. Mr. Justice BAYLEY intimated to the bar, that the three Judges who would sit in the Bail Court after term, proposed on the first three days of their sittings to take " old country new trials ;" and afterwards, if there should be time, to proceed with the new cases. They would afterwards proceed upon the special paper. lIARBIN V. MILLS. In this case, which was an action by an attorney, the question was, whether the attorney, whose bills of costs had been taxed, and from which more than a sixth had been taken off, was bound to pay the costs of the taxation. It appeared that the de fendant had not applied to have the bill taxed until after the present action had been brought. The case was argued some days ago. Lord TENTERDEN now stated, that whew a party having had an attorney's bill delivered to him a month or more, waited until an action was brought before he applied to have the bill taxed, he was not entitled to the costs of the taxation, notwithstand ing a sixth should have been taken off. FISHER V. CLEMENT. This case, which was in the new trial paper for argument, was called on, and Lord TENTERDEN, after stating the nature of the action (an action for an alleged libel published in a newspaper called Bell's Life in London,) said it had occurred to him on looking over his notes of the trial, that the parties might be disposed to agree to a stet firocessni, which he (Lord Tenterden) thought would be the best mode of settling the matter. At, the suggestion of the Court, the case was postponed, to give the parties an opportunity of con ferring together. EX PARTE THE INHABITANTS OF PUTNEY. A rule nisi had been obtained a few days ago by the Attorney-General for a writ of mandamus to swear into the office of churchwarden of Putney a person who had been elected by the inhabitants. It appeared that two persons had been lately chosen churchwardens by the inhabitants, and one of them had been sworn in, but the clergyman having claimed the right to choose one of the churchwardens, the ordinary had refused to swear in the other. The inhabitants claimed the right to nominate both. Mr. GURN E Y showed cause against the rule. The ATTORNEY-G EN ERAL said his clients were willing to try an issue to determine the question whether or not the inhabitants had the tight of nominating both churchwardens. The COURT thought that there ought to be an issue, and therefore directed the rule to be enlarged until the issue had been tried. EX-PARTE MARY PRICE. Mr. WYBURN moved for a rule to show cause why an attachment should not issue against the husband of Mary Price for non-payment of a sum awarded to be paid to that lady by way of alimony. —Rule nisi granted. THE KING V. BENJAMIN FINCHAM. Mr. PATTISON moved for a rule nisi for leave to file an information in the nature of a quo war rant° against Mr. Lie.ijamin Fineham, for exercising the several offices of principal burgess and bailiff of the borough of Eye, in Suffolk.—Rule nisi granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jurx G. HETIIERINGTON V. GRAHAM. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE uenverea the judg ment of the Court in this case this morning. The plaintiff had brought a writ of dower, to' which the defendant pleaded that the plaintiff had left her hus band, and lived away from him in adultery. The plaintiff replied that she had left him with his con sent ; and the defendant rejoined that the plaintiff had left her husband of her own accord, and lived in adultery with one William Colson. To this re joinder there was a deMurrer on the part of the plaintiff, which raised the question for the decision of the Court as to whether, upon the construction of the 13th of Edward 1., c. 34,a wife's leaving her husband's house with his consent, and then com mitting adultery, was a ground of forfeiture of dower; or whether it were necessary, in order to bring him within that statute, to show that the adultery bad been committed before she left her hus band's house ? The judgment of the Court was that the It oinder was right, and that the demurrer must be disallowed.—Judgment for the defendant. LOGAN V. LOWEL. In this case Mr. Sergeant WILDE bad obtained a rule to show cause why the allowance of bail should not be set aside, on the ground of misrepresentation on the part of one of the bail as to his circum stances, and why the bail should not attend the Court to explain his conduct. In support of his rule the Learned Sergeant produced affidavits, al leging that although the bail had sworn that he was a master leather-dresser, was a yearly tenant of the house he occupied, and had furniture, fixtures, and stock in trade on those premises to the amount of 2501., be was in reality a journeyman, and only a weekly tenant. Mr. Sergeant SPANKTE now showed came, the bail being in attendance, and produced the affidavit of an appraiser, who swore that he valued " his fur niture, fixtures, &e.," at upwards of 1501. The COURT, without calling on Mr. Sergeant Wilde to reply, ordered that the allowance of bail should be set aside.—Rule absolute. A GHOST of the NINETEENTH CENTURY. LEICESTER POLICE, JUNE 30. A Mrs. Bridgart appeared before the 11agistrates with her servant girl, under the following extraordi nary circumstances :—She stated that they had beed annoyed at various times by some noise, the cause of which they were as yet unable to ascertain. On Friday night, a little before ten o'clock, the family were in the yard, when they heard the girl screaming out very lustily in one of the rooms, which had such an effect upon her that she could elmoit imagine she heard the noise at this time. On proceeding to the room; she found the girl extended on the floor, apparently inanimate. They asked her what was the cause of her alarm, but 'she either could not or would not speak or stir for sonic 'time, at length, however, when she appeared to recover the power of articulation and e motion, She replied, that " she saw something white in the shape of a woman ?" They were in consequence advised to get somebody to sit up all night, which they did, but nothing was heard. A doctor was then sent for, who, on feeling the girl's pulse, pronounced her to be quite well. The next night the girl fainted, or affected to faint, again. This produced some little alarm; and the complainant conceiving it 'to be probably the effect of a guilty conscience upon the imagination, said to the girl, "If thy heart condemns• thee, speak the truth, for God knoweth all things." No thing having been elicited from the girl of a satisfac ' tory nature, the complainant thought it was pro bably a supernatural call for one of them ; but said, they were not to be frightened to death if it was so. On further interrogation, the girl said to her; " This is all through the wickedness of the lads ; they are all liars; you don't , know how they all swear and tell lies :" but after Wards added, that, while the complainant remained in the house, the like would' not occur again. The complainant asked her se veral other questions, and particularly a b out h er saying that they should not be again disturbed by the intrusive spectre, when the girl replied. that " the Lord had told her so !" Through such strange in coherent answers, she (the complainant), strongly suspected that the girl had been putting a trick upon them. She believed there was no foundation for the accusation against the boys, and regretted that the girl was not so well-disposed as they were. She thought the defendant ought to be compelled to give some explanation of her extraordinary con duct, believing that she was the sole cause of the annoyance; for, since she had left her service, " the ghost" had not thought well to make its ghostly ap pearance, to disturb the tranquillity of the family. The defendant, on being called upon to explain, said that she heard a noise like a loud crash, and afterwards saw something go through the top of the ceiling ! No aperture, however, was perceptible where she imagined the fair phantom passed through ! MAGISTRATES-HOW came you to say the Lord told you that your mistress should not be again dis turbed, so long as she remained in the house ? Defendant—l did not say that the Lord told me so; but that it might be the Lord's will to send it (Meaning the ghost), as the boys were in the habit of swearing. On the complainant strenuously insisting that the girl ought to be compelled to give a more explicit ac- count of the matter than what she had hitherto done, the Magistrates observed that they thought she might ascertain who or what this disturber was without the assistance of a conjuror. The complainant, in reply, assured them that she did not think their Worships were conjurors. —(A laugh.) The MAGISTRATE.; said they could do nothing in the case; and, after admonishing the girl against practising such tricks in future, she was discharged. GERMAN PAPERS. FROM THE DANUBE, JUNE 18.—The .Allgemeine Zeitung lately published an article, which if the state ments it contains were well founded, would be fully calculat ed to excite apprehensions respecting the continuance of the good understanding between the great Christian Powers. This article states, under the head of Leghorn, that ac cording to accounts received at that port from Alexandria, a part of the Egyptian troops was to be embarked, in or der to reinforce the army of the Sultan in Europe. It is added that an European Power has induced this important change in the destination of this force, the whole of which was at first to have been sent to Ezeroum. If we recollect that there is in the Levant a Russian naval force, which would certainly be sufficiently strong to hinder the conveyance of the Egyptian troops to the coast of Europe, it seems that it could not be effected ex cept under the protection of a European power, a transaction which would be hostile to Russia, and would in all probability soon lead to hostilities. By the European power spoken of England must certainly be meant, but without pretending to have dived into the real sentiments of the Cabinets, we find it difficult to discover a reasonable motive to induce the Cabinet of St. James's to provoke a state of things which would undoubtedly be attended with great dis advantage to the British interest; while, even on the most favourable supposition, the advantages seem ex tremely problematical. So long, therefore, as the above statement is not confirmed by fact, we may retain the be lief that the war between Russia and Turkey will not ex tend farther, especially as its results thus far are not of such a nature as to afford grounds for the interference of a third Power, on the trivial pretext of probable danger to what is called the balance of power. FUOM THE MAINE, JUNE 22.—Several officers of the English who have resided in this country (some of them for years) have suddenly received orders to join their regi ments. They are already gone to England, where, how ever, they do net expect to remain long, as their regiments are to be embarked fortlalta. The day before yesterday a man was arrested at May ence, who offered some coupons of metalliques to a Jewish house for sale, but who being questioned as to the man ner in which he became possessed of them, gave such evasive answers that he was suspected of being concerned in the robbery (which has been announced in the News papers) by which a house at. Frankfort lost 40,000 florins, chiefly in such coupons. On examination, it appears that the coupons found in the possession of this person corres pond with the number of some of those stolen. Their whole value, however, is only 3000 florins, and it remains to be seen whether the investigation will lead to any fur ther result. FRANKFORT, JUNE 23.—The greater part of the eon pons, &c. belonging to a house in this city, which were lost on the way from Holland, has just been recovered in the following singular manner. Some countrymen of a vil lage near Wisbaden found weat number of strips of paper scattered in a meadow, and picked them tip,suppining, though they did not know, that they might be of value. The affair coming to the knowledge of the Magistrates, they imme diatelycalled the inhabitants, and invited them to deliver up their slips of paper for a reward of six kreutzers each. According to the accounts received to-day, the value of the coupons already recovered in this manner is 30,00 florins. A person has been arrested at Mayence who offered a par cel of coupons for sale, but not giving a satisfactory ac count of himself was detained. This is probably con nected with the finding of the other coupons by the pea sants. It may therefore be hoped that nearly the whole will be recovered. BERLIN, JUNE 25.—1 n afew days a medal on the battle near Sl►umla, of June 11, will he issued from the medal manufactory of this city. It will represent the effigy of the Emperor of Russia, crowned with laurel, and the in scription " Nicolaus I. Totius Russise Imperittor ;" on the reverse, encircled by a wreath of laurel, will be the follow ing inscription :—" Auspiciis Augustissimis et Ductu Comitis de Diebitach, Turcurunt Ferox Exercitus Sub Primo Visirio Concisus Apud Shunla, die 30 Mai, Stili Veteris, 1829. The bank at the great house in St. James's street has been twice broken within these few weeks, by the fortunate son of a fortunate merchant.—Morning Paper. The inhabitants of St. Andrew's, Holborn, are struggling hard against the Rector's claim for " Per sonal Tithes ;" this is a tenth upon every man's clear gains in business. The majority of Hatton-garden Magistrates are in favour of the claim, but the parties appeal to a higher tribunal. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
