SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. A Bill has been filed in the Court of Chancery by Utptain Garth, against Sir Herbert Taylol-, Sit -John Dean Paul, Bart. Robert Snow' and Dean Paul, and Charles Molloy Weztrnacotr, Gent:, in order to prevent the delivery of a certain box of papers relating to his fort - nue ; Statidt); ti affairs, and to the claims which h 'ogv,:pim certain persons named in them, and tO the mode by which such claims could be substantiated and enforced—which box deposited in the hands rtf Sir 3ohn Paul, kes on receipt to Sir Herbert Taylor and Mr. West= macott—from being delivered to them the ttrlts ot the agreement upon which he iett i 'tlain Garth) ever authorised or sanctione4 the delivery up of the said papers not harins t)cen complied with. The agree' ment was, that he should receive r n ansniity 04 3,0004 ycar and have his debts paidb He says that the rece ip t was g iv en Mr. Westmacott Wt• siri on his behalf, and " the only reason allt , gtd or suggested against such receipt tieing 7 i lven to him, Captain G., directly, and in favour of such use of the said Charles Merl Westmacott's name, was least some colo'nr or countenance should he thereby given to et.rrain rumours then supposed to exist rc apecting the na!ure of certain documents and papers supposed to he in the possession of him, Captain G," e have obtained a copy of Captain Garth's affi davit, on which the Bill is rounded, which our readers trill find in another column. This is a strange business. It will be seen that great care has been taken to wrap tip the subject in general language, Morning aronicle. We are glad that Mr. Hume has moved for an account of grain imported up to a specific time ; and the duty (tax) paid en the same. We hope that it is preparatory to a motion to do away with the pre sent stupid Corn Laws, and enact one simp!e Act instead, to the offeet that grain may t e imported at all times subject to a fixed rate of duty (tax)—for instance, 155., or 205., a quarter for wheat, and other grain in a proportionate ratio. Th e D u k e has taken his sword and cut in two Jo)n Bull's re' piejudiees, as it respects the Catholics, why shouiti he not take the sword and rut through the country gentleman's prejudices, in respect of corn ? 'Mr. will, we hope, bring forward the mea sure in the House of Commons , and we hope he will hare the cordial support oi !qr. Peel, and that the latter gentleman will renounce his corn pre judices, with the same happy facility that he got rid of his religious prejudices against the Catholics. Im provement should be the order of the day, not only in Catholics and Currency, but in Corn.—Murning Herald. It is anticipated that much delay will arise in the progress of the Catholic Relief Bill through the Committee of the House of Commons, in discussing various amendments which are likely to be moved to the clauses of the Bill as they Row stand. Alter Craving gone through the Committee, it will be printed with the amendments, and in a subsequent stage be finally discussed, and in all probability a division take place before it passes and is sent to the House of Peers. In the tipper House it is ex pected that much legal argument will be expended upon it by the law-Lords; for any Bill, no matter how perfect, can scarcely fail of containing ample matter for legal sophistry and dry and uninteresting debate. Those who are rtost conversant in calcu lating the number of Members likely to divide on any great or important measure, arc of opinion that there will be u majority for the Bill of 59 in the House of L.brds.--Allarning Advertiser. THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. (From the 3fOrning Chronicle.) (SINGULAR AFFIDAVIT IN CHANCERY.) IN CHANCERY. 13ETWEEN THOMAS GARTH, ESQ., PLAINTIFF; AND STK HERBERT TAYLOR, KNIGHT COMMANDER OF THE BATH, SIR JOHN DEAN PAUL, BARONET, RO• BERT SNOW, AND JOHN DEAN PAUL, AND CHARLES Mr.)LLOY WESTMACOTT, GENTS., DEFENDANTS. " Thomas Garth, of Melton Mowbray, in the county of Leicester, Esquire, a Captain on half-pay in his Majesty's army, the above-named deponent, maketh oath and saith, that he was, in the month of November last, in possession of, and rightfully en titled to, certain documents, papers, and correspon deuce, of very great value and importance, relating immediately to his fortune, station, awl affairs, and to the claims which he had upon certain persons named in such documents awl correspondence, and to the mode by which such claim could be substan tiated and enforced. And this deponent further saith, that he was also, at the above-mentioned period, indebted to several persons in various sums of money, amounting in the whole to a very consi derable sum ; and that Lieutenant-General Sir Her bert Taylor, of St. Katharine's Lodge, Regent's Park, in the county of Middlesex, Knight Com mander of the Bath, one of the above-named de fendants, was very desirous of obtaining possession of the above-mentioned documents and correspondence, or, at any rate, of having the same so securely depo sited in safe custody that neither deponent nor any other person should without his, •_he said Sir 11. Tay. log's, assent, obtain access thereto; and that the said Sir H. Taylor entered into a negoc:ation with this deponent for that purpose. And this deponent fur ther saith, that it was ultimately, as this deponent bath been informed and verily believes, agreed by anal on the part of the said Sir Herbert Taylor, and on the part of this deponent, at a meeting, held at his house, on or about Thursday, the 20th day of No vember last, to the effect and in the manner follow ing —that is to say, by and on the part of the said Sir Herbert Taylor, that all the then out-standing debts of this deponent should be discharged by or by the direction of Sir Herbert Taylor, and that an annuity of three thousand pounds per annum should be effectually recurred to this deponent for his life; and by and on the part of this deponent, that the box containing all the above-mentioned documents, letters, and correspondence, should be sealed with the respective seals of this deponent and the said Sir Herbert Taylor, and, so sealed, should be de posited in the hands of some banker or bankers, to be agreed upon by the said Sir Herbert Taylor and this deponent, whilst the proper securities for secur ing the due payment of the said annuity of three thousand pounds per annum, which was to com mence from the period when the said box should have been so deposited, were being prepared, and until the completion and execution thereof; but should be re-delivered to this deponent, in case any failure should take place in carrying into full and complete effect and execution on the part of the said Sir Herbert Taylor the terms of the above-men- 1 tioned agreement. And it was thereby, as the de ponent bath been also informed, and verily believes, agreed by the said Sir Herbert Taylor, and on the behalf of this deponent, that after the said debts of this deponent had been discharged, and the grant and securities of and for the annuity should have been executed, the said box, with its contents, should remain in the hands of some banker or bankers to he mutually agreed upon, in the names of two trustees, one to be appointed by and on the part of the said Sir Herbert Taylor, and the other by and on the part of this deponent, as a security for the due and punctual payment of the said annuity to this deponent. And this deponent further saith, that shortly, and, as this deponent believes, the day next after the above agreement had been entered into, this deponent believing that the same would be as it ought to have been carried into full and final execution on the said Sir Herbert Taylor's part, without hesitation or delay, did, in order to carry into effect the above-mentioned terms, en the part of this deponent, take with him the box, containing all the said papers, documents, and correspondence, to the house of Charles Molloy Westmacott, of Adam-street, Adelphi, in the county of Middlesex, Gentleman, one other of the above-named defend ants, and who then professed to be a friend of this deponent, but which said Charles Molloy Westttsa• rott had not any title to, or interest in, any of the said papers, doeutterits., kehfatsnoti'leriee; ;in tire said box, in any manner svhateVer. And this depo nent mirth saith, that upon the occasion above- Mentioned, he, this deponent, met the said Sir Heits bert Taylor it the ho`ree of the 4ts4d Mallra 4 Westnaaentts.l l 4 iirP','sihi - r'neni; and that this depo cient, who had then and there with him the key of the said box, then and there opened the same, and in the presence of the said Sir Herbert Tailor, fur the purpose of verifying the feet that the said papers, correapondenees and documenta, Above reNirer! were then contained in shell 1.3 . (rk, 4% :11 fact they then weei *ker.! thin deponent having then and there taken up the same out of the said,box, arid sheaved them to the said Sir Herbert Teel& a'sr placed them in the said box; end locked the same in the preeencs, :aid Sir Herbert Taylor. And thia. deponent fur ter saith, that after such papers, borreepondence, and documrnts had been, so re.- pieced, and the said les*,So lochetli inieh lrY; writi thin and titre lids iMirld with tape, and sealed with toe respective seals of the said Sir Herbert Taylor arid this deponent, and also with the seal of the said Charles Molloy Westmacott, its a friend of this de ponent ; but that the key of the said box was, with the assent of the said Sir Herbert Taylor, retained by this deponent ; for the pnrpose of rirore fully ma nifesting the this deponent was entitled to the re poesession of the said box and its contents, in case the above-mentioned agreement should not be fully arid duly performed and perfected. And thin depiat nent further saith, that aft'; the sisici box had been so locked and sealed, it was agreed be tar,.-tien this deponent and the said Sir Herbert 'Taylor, that the same should provisionally, and for intermediate safe custody as aforesaid, be depo sited in the hands of Sir John Dean Paul, Baronet; Robert Snow, and John Dear caul, all of the Strand, in the city of Westminster, bankers and et-partners, others of the above-named defendants, who it was proposed should receive the same as a deposit, made in the joint names of Sir Herbert Taylor and Charles Molloy Westmacott, and should give two receipts for the same, one of such receipts to be given to the said Sir Herbert Taylor, _and the other of them to the said Charles Molloy Westtha cott ; bet it was at the same time expressly under stood by ail the said parties that the name of the said Charles Molloy Westmacott should be so used, and such last-mentioned receipt should he so given to the said Charles Molloy \Vestmacott, as an agent for and on the behalf of this deponent. And this de ponent further saith, that the reason, end the only rerson elleged of ariggated against such receipt being given to this deponent directly, and in favour of each use of the said Chas. Molloy Westrnacott's name, was lest some colour or countenance should be thereby given to certain rumours then supposed to exist respecting the nature of certain documents and papers supposed to be in the possession of this deponent. And this deponent further saith, that im mediately after the last-mentioned meeting had taken place, and in the faith that the said agreement would be fully performed by the said Sir Herbert Taylor, he (this deponent) proceeded, and as this depo nent believes, on or about the 24th day of November, 1828, in company with the said Charles Molloy Westmacott, to the banking-house of the said Sir John Dean Paul and Company ; and there, on the same day, in pursuance of the said agreement, on his part, delivered the said box, with its contents, into their custody, in the joint names of the said Sir Herbert Taylor and Charles Molloy Westmacott; and they, the said bankers, thereupon, on the same day, gave two receipts for the same to the said Charles Molloy Westmacott, who retained one or such receipts as the agent of, and on the behalf of, this deponent, and delivered the other of them to the said Sir Herbert Taylor. And this deponent further saith, that shortly after this, deponent caused a list of his debts to be furnished to the said Sir Herbert Taylor, at his request, in order that the same might be liquidated in pursuance of the said agreement; and this deponent was in full hope and expectation that the said agreement would, as well in that, as in all other respects, have been fully and duly performed. But this deponent saith, that no sum of A money whatever hath in fact been paid to this deponent, since the said deposit se obtained as aforesaid, upon the faith of the due performance of the said agreement; nor have any securities been, as this deponent believes, ever prepared or attempt ed to be prepared, nor have any of the debts due from this deponent been in fact liquidated or dia.- charged ; and the said Sir Herbert Taylor denies that he is bound to perform the agreement as herein before, and in the said bill set forth. And this de ponent further saith—all authority and power, there fore, given to the said Charles Molloy \Vestmacott to act as the agent of this deponent, or in any re spect on his behalf, was, preciously to the twenty third day of December last, absolutely revoked and countermanded ; and that such revocation of autho rity was communicared to the said Sir Herbert Taylor by this deponent, in a letter of the twenty-third of December, one thousand eight hun dred and twenty-eight, in the words and figures, or to the purport and effect in the said bill of com plaint set forth. Arid this deponent further saith, that he received from the said Sir Herbert Taylor, in an swer to the said last-mentioned letter, such letter as in the said bill is mentioned to bear date the 24th day of December, one thousand eight hundred arid twenty-eight ; and that the said Sir Herbert Taylor well knows that the said Charles Molloy Westma cott was merely the agent of this deponent, and that such agency has been revoked and has ceased, and that the said Charles Molloy Westmacott is not now and has not been since the twenty-third day of De cernl4er last, in any respect the agent of this depo nent ; and this deponent further saith, he believes that the said Charles Molloy Westmacott intends to join with the said Sir Herbert Taylor in demanding the said box and its contents; and that the said Sir Herbert Taylor, and Charles Molloy Westmacott, respectively, have the said receipts in their posses sion, and that they intend to present the same, and to demand and receive the said box and contents, and to prevent this deponent from regaining posses sion thereof. And this deponent saith that the said box and contents are his absolute property, subject only to the due perfermance of the said agreement, on the part of the said Sir Herbert Taylor; and that the said Sir Herbert Taylor repudiates the said agreement, which, however, he, this deponent, in sists ought to be duly, and faithfully, and fully per formed, according to the terms hereinbefore set forth, which were the terms upon which alone this deponent ever authorised or sanctioned any agree ment for the delivering up of the said box and its centeuts.

HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool. sack at five o'clock. Some Private Bills were read a second time, and the [louse went into a Committee upon them, and received the report. Lord ROSLYN, in accordance to the notice he gave yesterday, moved that their Lordships should register with the clerk their petitions, and should in rotation be called up to bring them forward by the clerk. The resolution was put by the LORD CHAwcalLoa. and agreed to. Lord TORRINGTON presented a petition from the inhabitants of Maidstone. Sir ALEXANDTR GRANT and others brought up the Army Supply and Naturalization Bill. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented two petitions against the Catholics. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from Horsham and three other places, against the Catholics. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented two petitions from the town and county of Derby, in favour of Catholic emancipation. The Marquis of CARNARVON presented several peti tions, praying for the removal of Catholic disabilities. IRISH CATHOLIC PETITION. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in presenting this pe tition, hoped that what he should say now would be for the last time. lie could not, when he considered the great names of persons who had been honoured with the service of State both in this and the other House of Parlia ment, persons who were either in consequence of death or otherwis no longer to be considered public property, he could not consider this a misfortune, but he considered himsel as extremely fortunate in having lived to see the period arrive when the Catholic Question should be brought forward in the way it ha been, and under circum stances so likely to bring it to a favourable ter mination.—(Hear.)—lle could not but feel that the great body of the Catholics, whom their Lordships would find represented by some 15 or 20,000 men, were in a state of perfect obedience to the law, and that RsAociation in ready abedience to the wishes of Parliament, stood dissolved ; and that the whole body of people were now in a state in which it would be becoming in them to re ceive from Parliament the boon about to be conferred on them. During the last thirty yens the number of Ca tholics had increased to upwards of two millions. They had increased in wealth, education and intelligence, as could be shown by the best documentary evidence. The Noble Marquis had received returns of the indictments of twenty-five counties in Ireland, counties is vehicle the public mind had been the most agitated : he had also received the returns of the indictments of the counties in England and Wales, and by comparison had found that in Ireland one or 1,500 persons had been charged with crime, and in England and Wales one of 750. As to the nuineric:il majority of persons that were petitioning Parliament on the subject. At present, he was perfectly curtain that by far the greatest number ever in this country, of the intelligent, wealthy, and expe rienced, were in favour of Emancipation, and that many of those who opposed the projected mea sure, residing in little parishes, would, when they should see the ,kaappy, effects to.be Rrodueed by Emancipa • • • •!... 1' 1 11r'' rf lion, be of opinion toe a na7. 3 -se as t Ireland and Scotland, about to Etc eio;•essed, tbai the time was now come when the Catholics ought to be i e rcnitted to partake in the Administration of the country. it was trite that the ni•tioritx of the Clergy were opposed to tue n? the most respectable had become converts; hut because toe} opinion he hoped their Lordships would not consider that their voice was to decide the question. Within the last 30 years many of the mo , t enlightened and eminent personages who had at different times strenuously opposed, emancipa tion, had bedtroe converts, but their Lordships could not point out one individual who had been a convet t on the other aide. The Noble Marquis had several petitions to gr,.iser 4 .t, !nit • • HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord BIIECKNOCK took the oaths and his seat as Member for Bath. . On the motion of Mr. PLANTA, a New Writ was or ,,erect to 1x tiadc of 11.4 She Iforott . g4 of Nlwport, in the room of E. B. Percy, Esq. wimo had aeceitci tl'e office of Comptroller of the Household. CoIoneI;POWELL presented a petition from a parish in Cardigan against the Catholics. Lord CASTLEREAGEI presented a petition from Hills • borough in favour of concession. Sir E. ELLIS presented four petitions from four parishes in Suffolk against the Catholics. Captain CtJST presented similar petitions from parishes in the county of Stafford. Mr. SEYMOUR presented a petition from Tattlibrt, Somernetshire, in favour of concession. He heartily con• curred in the prayer of this petition. Mr. LEYCESTER presented a petition in favour of the Catholics. Mr. DOHERTY presented two similar petitions from II eland. Mi. W. SMITH prevented several petitions from the Unitarians and Dissenters of the sew-road Chapel, Brigh ton, and several other Dissenting Congregations, in favour of the Catholics. Alr. E. HARVEY presented 13 petitions from different parishes against the Catholics. Mr. ARKWRIGHT presented a petition against further concessions, from the town of Hyde, in Sussex. Mr. BROW LOW presented ten petitions in support of the Crtholic Claims, from pa.ishes in the connties of Armagh, Down, Antrim, Cork, Cagan, and Tipperary. The Honourable Member presented another petition to the same effect, from the Protestant inhabitants; of the city of Bath. This petition, he observed, had been entrusted to his care for the purpose of rebutting the assertion made in this House on a previous night, that the Protestant population of the county of Somerset was, he might sly, to a man, opposed to Catholic Emancipation. It was signed by nine Clergymen fo the Established Church, by four of the Corporation, by a great number of Naval and Military Officers, by the great majority of the Me thodist Ministers, and by upwards of 200 respectable householders. Mr. LATOUCHE presented three petitions from pa rishes in the county of Kildare in favour of the Catholic claims, and another against the Subletting Act. _ . Mr. DENNYSONpresented a petition from the Uni tarian Dissenters of Godahning, in favour of the Catholic Sir H. SMYTH presented a petition from a parish in the county of Essex against further concessions. Mr. G. MOORE presented a petition from the Lord Mayer, Sheriffs, and Corporation of the city of Dublin against concessions ; and several others to the same effect from the Master and Wardens of the Corporations of Mer chants, Stationers, Carpenters, Shoemakers, and Tailors. On these petitions being brought up— Mr. DOHERTY declared that he was quite willing to admit that petitions proceeding from such respectable sources were entitled to every consideration. The Hon. Member who introduced them had laid much emphases on the " Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of the City of Dub lin," although he Mr. Doherty) was not aware that the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of that or any other city, much of necessity feel more deeply on this subject than other in dividuals. He was glad to her, however, that the Lord Mayor of Dublin was in no particular degree of alarm, it put him in mind of another Lord Mayor, who, upon the starting of a horse emphatically exclaimed, " Thank God, I'm not afraid."--(Laughter.)—Why then, he would ask, should the Lord Mayor of Dublin be afraid, when the House was now on the eve of placing on a permanent footing the peace and happiness of the country.—(Hear.) My Hon. Friend has told the House that the petitions are worthy of the best consideration. What petitions are they ? why of the carpenters, of bricklayers, barbers, &c. And what do they prove? why the very existence of that passion and prejudice which this Bill would do away with. Hon. Members had stated in that House, that petitions had been signed at the rate of 13 in x minute, so eager were the people to express their opinion upon the subject. He bad listened with the greatest attention to the arguments of the Honourable Member for Dublin, and all that he could collect from them was, the glorious constitution of 1683 was in danger. (LEFT strrinc.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. An important feature in yesterday's betting was the un expected appearance in the market of a new favourite, Lord Egremont's Camel colt, who was brought into the betting by Mr. A.

A eiutite i;tiiiatift, arising out of the practice of ladies wearing large bonneta at filacgi bt ain , :igerrie'nt; yesftr day heard before Mr. Mlntoivt.L- The complainant (a gentleman of fortune, named gold, who resides at West-lane, Kilburn) stated, that on Satur tli;.; ti t Ite,st he went to the pit of Covent-garden Then tee, in company a !Vs. Higgitilxittom and her son. They were rented quietly in 16 pii .X7ittisssing the per formance, when Mrs. Higginbottom complained that tl.e defendant (who subsequently stated that his name tta:: James Iliac/Liam?) was annoying her exceedingly, by sticking his knees and elbows in her back. On remon strating with the defendant, he grew exceedingly abusive, Calling Mrs. I-licginbottom a , and finally seized (the complainant) by the collar, tore the buttons from the im , iai of I".ii shirt, and also tore his coat to tatters. A hoy, who was of the defendant's !sally, held his (the corm plainant's) hands while he was at/Ustll and beaten. After the play was over, the defendant gave his name and address, but the other persons who were with him, and assisted in the assault, refused to do so. The complainant showed the coat which he had worn hit Oie b6e..asiln, and which exhibited several large rents. " This is a tv:telets, your Worship," he continued, holding up the tattered gertiztoi " of the defendant's vio lence.' Mrs. Iligginilt;tt orn'a son confirmed the statement of the po ,;::7'ely that the defendant was complainant, and swore lie applied the epithet the most violent of the party, and iba. -to his mother. Mr. Hutchinson, who was attended by his solieton, stated in his defence, that he went to the theatre on the night in question, accompanied by a friend, who was now present, and a young gentleman, who was at a bearding school in Greenwich. The latter happened to sit imme diately behind a lady who was with the complainant, and whose bonnet was so exceedingly large that the young gen tleman was prevented from witnessing the performance. The defendant's friend requested her to remove the cause of annoyance, as several ladies had done, who were sitting close by. The lady returned no answer, and the first act of the play being over, the young gentleman was trans ferred to a scat on the advanced bench. This movement the complainant resisted, when he (the defendant) took him by the collar, and irr..isted upon the young gentleman being accommodated with a seat, there being sufficient room upon the bench. The defendant added, that he did not either strike the complainant or tear his coat ; and de nied further, having used any offensive term towards Mrs. II ig ginbottom. " Who are you, Mr. Hutchinson ?" asked the Magis trate.—" I am in the Stock-Exchange," replied the de fendant, " and can bring forward persons of the first re spectability in the city to speak in my behalf." " Yen certainly give a very different version of the busi ness," observed Mr. Afitismum.; " have you any witness to confirm your statement ?" " Here is a gentleman who was present when the alleged assanit took place," said the defendant, " and who is willing to be sworn." A gentleman accordingly stepped forward, and said his name was-Lomna, and that his connexions in the city were also of the highest respectability. He then stated that the account given by Mr. Hutchinson was quite correct, and that he was the person who had requested the lady to re move her bonnet, which was one of the most outrageous dimensions, and more resembled a hay-stack in bulk thin a lady's held-dress. Having taken the seat from which the young gentleman had been driven, he (Mr. Lomas) said to the lady, " Really, Madam, your bon net is of such a tremendous size, that I cannot see a particle of the performance : I must trouble you to re move it." An altercation then began between the com plainant and Mr. Hutchinson ; but the latter never streck the former, nor did he apply the term -- to the female, although her conduct was any thing hut that of a holy. _ . . Mr. Mimstscet, asked Mr. Higginhottom if he meant to swear that the defendant had applied the 'obnoxious epithet mentioned to his mother?—Mr. Higginbottom declared upon his oath that he had stated the fact. Mr. MinanoLL.—The charge of assault is proved, and I must call upon Mr. Hutchinson to find bail. A gentleman, who declined to give his name, but who said lie was a friend of the complainant, and a house holder in Berkeley-square, said lie hoped Mr. Lomas would also be called upon to enter into securities, he having been one of the persons by whom Mr. Sadd had been assaulted. Mr. Minsmum..—l shall certainly call upon Mr. Lomas to find bail also. I am finite convinced of the respectability of all parties, and am induced to believe that tke defendant and his friends were irritated in [OA sequence of the refusal of the lady to take off her bonnet. The practice of ladies wearing large bonnets at theatres, and other places of public amusement, is certainly very re prehensible. The two defendants were then allowed to depart, Mr. Thomas Sidney Hewett, solicitor, of Tokenhouse-yard, having become one of their sureties, and they having en gaged to produce another. Three respectable inhabitants of St. Martin's-court came before Lir It. BIKHIE for his advice and assistance under there circumstances :—They stated that they suffered con siderable annoyance, and were greatly injured in the husi ness which they respectively followed, owing to a shop in the court, the windows of which were filled with political caricatures, which collected such crowds of idlers as com pletely to block up the passage. Butchers' boys with their trays, and bakers with their baskets, were continually stop ping before the windows of the shop in question, com menting on the prints and pictures exhibited there. One of the applicants complained that the crowd of persons wee so great as to frighten away his customers ; and another said, that one of the panes of glass in his shop-window was smashed that morning owing to the pressure of the crowd. Sir R. BIRNIE asked if the prints exhibited were of an immoral tendency ? One of the complainants answered, that tome of them certainly were, but they had chiefly a political bearing. " We are a nation of politicians," observed Sir R. Buostit, " and I confess I can see no great harm in stand ing before a window and looking at a few pictures." " But some of them are really indecent," observed one of the applicanta : " for instance, there is a picture in the window representing his Grace the Duke of Wellington in a very unequivocal posture with a lady." " Pho !" said the Chief Magistrate, " I know the thing you allude to. The picture is an allegorical representation of the Duke of Wellington about to violate the Constitu tion, by admitting the Catholics to power. lam sorry I cannot assist you; but I can see no means of doing as. If the shop is a nuisance, you should call upon the pariah to indict the owner." The applicants said that the Lord Mayor, when a similar application had lately been mare - to hiin, told the com plainant to bring the offender to the Mansion-house, and he would know how to deal with him. Sir R. BraNIE admitted that the applicants suffered a very great hardship, and advised them to call in the assistance of the parish constables to disperse the lamb, course which the applicants declared they should certainly pursue. Mr. Miera, the jeweller in the Strand, whose shop nearlyjicee Exeter Change, waited upon Sir R. BusDux, in the course of the morning, to give information of an attempt at fraud which had been practised upon him. On Wed nesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, a yonng MAR, very fashionably dressed, wearing a handsome cloak, came into his shop, and asked to see some articles in gold which were in the window. After looking over the articles for some time, the young man selected some of them, amounting to upwards of 41., and desired them to be put up for him. He then drew forth a pocket-book, contain ing a large bundle of Bank-notes, and selected one for 5/., which he tendered in payment for the jewellery. Mr. Miens immediately perceived that the note which was offered to hire was a palpable forgery, and he said so to the young man, who no sooner heard the word forgery uttered, than he attempted to make his escape. Mr. Miens, who was at the opposite side of the counter, stretched over and seised the cloak, when the young man Blipped it off his shoulders, and dropping kis hat at the same moment, darted out of the door into the street, leav ing both hat and cloak behind him. Mr. Miers pursued him crying " Stop thief !" but th.r! fellow was two nimble for him, for he jumped into a cabriolet, which was evidently waiting for him, and he was driven off with the utmost rapidity. Mr. Mien, on examining the hat, found that it was of Irish manufacture, arid quite new, from which circumstance he inferred that the young man had just come from. Ireland. Mr. Miens added, that he had read in a newspaper lately, that a great quantity of Bank of England notes had been manufactured in America, and transmitted from that country to Ireland, for the purpose of being circulated. This was, probably, the first attempt in London to carry on this new system of uttering forged notes. Sir R. Bisonx told Mr. Mien to go into the clerk's office, where his information would be taken up on oa th, i n order that it might be transmitted to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. MARYLEBONE, Yesterday a most extraordinary charge of felony WM made before Mr. Ravrunsen, by Mr. Thomas Ta bour:2, eon of the late Lieutenant-Colonel Tichbourn, of the Hon. East India Company's service, agliest fit' Avery, a silversmith, in Bond-street. Mr. Tichbourn was the companion of Mrs. Wilmot, rn her flight from Allsop'a-placr, New-rood, to Poi!, or property in her possession, eo obtained, that they' were 1 0 ' tercepted at Dover, and she is now a prisoner in Ckeke t n : Wei totaiting her trial at the Old Bailey. On the edgri of their slept:m.lre from the New-road, OK Sunday, th e "- of February, fir. Thhbonrn went off linst in a baeknel: coach, and alighted with 14 packages at Mr. Averts house, in Bond-street; and out rep,et with whom Mr. Avery was acquainted, he was invited e° partake of supper with the family. Mrs. Wilmot fame s° houf end a half afterwards, in another coach, with We e luggage, and when they went away at midnigiat t umbrellas belonging to Mr. Tichbourn were missing, a n d it was supposed that they must have been overlooked• e left in the coach ; and, in allusion to them, Mrs. Wil'ITZ who pretended not to be going with him, accused him sot; earelessnes', And said, before he reached h journey's e" he would lose his head. However, yesterday, Mr. Tichbourn charged gt• Ave with stealing those umbrellas, and paid he cotald /1' 06 , 1 evidence to substantiate it. Mr. Avery, who had 0 .0 "" forward voluntarily to meet it, challenged him to do sot " I have in the office, Sir," said Mr. Tichbourn to Mfd Rawlinson, " the female who pat them into the coact': and the coachman who drove me, and he will swear 0., he took them out, and carried them into Mr. Avery ' ' ; and he endeavoured to call them forward, but his evidetics foiled, for there was no coachman in attendance.
