FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Front the Message, - des Chambre of Monday, Aug. 3.) SECOND EDITION. PARIS, AUG. 3, NOON.—Letters from Corfu, stat ing the very 'decided advantages which the Greeks in Livadia have obtained in the last half of June, add, that the military chiefs have resolved to attack the island of Negropont. It is thought that the English cruisers will oppose the execution of the design ; but it is equally believed that the Greek Government will do its utmost to extend its fron tiers on the continent to the Gulfs of Arta and Volo, and to add to their state the island of Negro pont. It is affirmed that Count Capo d'lsteia has .instructed his marine to follow op the advantages already ga;.red, in order to secure the future pros perity the country ; and in case the English fleet take measures to oppose them, the Greek comr.nanders are ordered to declare that Greece is no' at war with England ; and if this is not suffi cient, they are ordered to strike their flag, and to give themselves up as prisoners of war, with their crews, to the English. Such conduct might cause a little embarrassment to the British Cabinet, but would in the end be prejudicial to Greece, if Eng land is resolved to support the declarations it has made, that it will not permit any military operation of the Greeks beyond the frontiers of the Morea and the Cyclades, which the three Powers have re ceived under their protection. OSTEND, JULY 27.—1 t seems that the loan con tracted for by the Emperor Don Pedro at Rio de Janeiro is to be paid in Europe,and that out of these funds the emigrants will be continued to be paid, and the affairs of Portugal to be conducted. Several Portuguese superior officers who have taken refuge here have received letters from Rio, in which they are assured that the Emperor has promised never to abandon the cause of his daughter, and consequently theirs. (From the Gazette de France, Aug. 4.) Letters from Naples say,that his Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies will accompany his daughter to the Court of Spain. (From the Journal du Commerce of Monday. ) TANGIER, JULY 13.—The Governor of this place has received orders not to admit the new Spanish Consul, unless he brings the sum which the Em peror claims, and Spain has promised, as an indem nity for goods belonging to Moors seized on board a Maroquin ship captured by Spanish cruisers; like wise a sum to pay the debts of the late Spanish Consul, Mr. Orne, and 1,000 piasters besides, which the present Consul owes. The Austrian squadron has been reinforced by a 60-gun frigate, but the Em peror will not hear of proposals for an accommoda tion between the two powers.

Last night a tailor, named James Cummins, re siding in Pearl-court, Church -street, St. Giles's, was brought before Mr. Dyer, jun., at Marlborough street office, charged with having attempted to mur der his wife, a young female, about eight and twenty years of age. Mr. Wakely, one of the church. wardens, said the woman had received such dread ful injuries, that her recovery was almost impossible. Mr. Dyer then proceeded to the workhouse, and took the depositions of the injured woman, and two women named O'Neile and Lee. It appeared that the prisoner, who is considered a desperate charac ter, was in the habit of beating his wife in a most barbarous manner. He came home that morning in a violent rage, because she was not provided with the means of procuring a breakfast for him, and he then proceeded to strike her several violent blows. He afterwards went out, and again returned, when he gave her sixteen-pence to purchase some dinner, and soon afterwards, according to her account, he seized a flat-iron, with which he continued to strike her on the head, until he fractured her skull in se veral places. The above-named females were alarmed by the report of the prisoner having murdered his wife, and on looking through the key-hole of the door, they discovered the unfortunate woman welter iug in her blood, and the prisoner still striking her with the flat-iron. The door was ultimately forced open, and the prisoner was secured. The prisoner, is a subdued tone, said his wife had been unfaithful to him, as he had detected two youths coming out of his apartment, and she had made an appointment with ene of them so late as nine o'clock the preced ing evening, and in a fit of jealousy he took up the first instrument that came to hand in order to chas tise her.—Mr. Dyer ordered him to be remanded, observing, that in the event of the woman's death, he must prepare himself to undergo the last penalty of the law. NORTH AMERICAN GOLD.—The Virginia papers inform us that gold is discovered in that state, in considerable quantities. The Frederichsburgh Herald says, that it is found in great quantity and pure quality on eight different plantations. Of that of the Messrs. WHITE about 860 dollars worth has been obtained in a few months ; and a witness testifies to the favourable ap pearances presented in other places. The Philadelphia Gazette states, that considerable quantities of North Ca rolina gold are now received at the United States' mint. STATE OF TRADE.—The complaints of the state of trade, upon the whole, we think, are equal this week to what they were last. The country trade is un doubtedly very dull, and there have been very few drapers in the market. A considerable number of London houses, however, have been down, whose purchases of fiaished goods have partly compensated for the absence of other classes of buyers. It e hear great complaints of numerous failures in the country, many of which, being settled by composition, do not come before the public; but every body seems to think that, should the weather become settled so as to ensure a favourable harvest, considerable relief would almost at once be experienced. The demand for twist contiues muck as we have lately reported it. Power loom cloth is dull; nankeens are very depressed; in fus tians of particular kinds there is a little improvement of demand. On the whole, notwithstanding all the com plaints that exist, there is still a great deal of business doing; but it is partial, and affords very small profits.— Manchester Mercury. WORCESTER.—There was on Tuesday a con siderable riot in this town, owing to a great number of Irish labourers having been employed at Kemsey. This gave great offence to the labouring people there, and they therefore attacked the Irishmen with much violence, and would not let them work. In consequence of this, some of the Kemsey people were examined before Mr. SPOONER and Major BUND, two Magistrates, on a charge of assault ing the Irishmen, and four of the Kemsey people were committed on this charge ; but as the constable was con veying them up the High-street, at Worcester, the snob rescued two of them, and assaulted the constables who had them in custody. The reason assigned by the labourers of Kemsey for this outrage is, that during the winter they can earn but ss. a week, and that in the harvest time, when they could obtain more, the Irish labourers came and got their work away; and, it is said, that some of the Irishmen will work for as little as 4d. a day. Yesterday was launched at Deptford a large and powerfully constructed bomb-ship, measuring up wards of 400 tons, and adapted for carrying 10 carriage gnus on deck, in addition to a 10-inch mortar forward, and another of a still larger calibre—namely, 13-inch— abaft. The vessel was launched in the basin, and, to break the force of her way on entering so confined a space, a temporary breakwater, formed of massive beams of tim ber, was placed across in the direction she would take. At half-past four o'clock the necessary preparations being completed, and while the crowds assembled were on the tiptoe of expeltation, Mrs. WEST, the Lady of the Medi cal Officer of the Dock-yard, made her appearance, hurled a bottle of wine at the vessel, and christened her by the name of the Thunder : the stocks having been loosened, the dog-shores were driven away, and the vessel glided slowly into the water. The Thunder bomb, and a fri gate now on the stocks, to be called the Worcester, will be the last vessels built in this yard —as, after the laimeh of the latter some time in the autumn, it will be em pioyedl9lely go receivipg yard Awl anival, rttC • , • _ Aln LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1829. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town at two o'clock this afternoon for Walmer Castle. Despatches have been received at the Foreign Office this morning, from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY, at Paris, and also from the Nether lands. At the Colonial Office despatches have been received from Major-General Sir HELGROVE TURNER, dated the 7th July: and from Lieut.- General Sir P. MAITLAND, Governor of Nova Scotia, dated 16th July ; they relate exclusively to local matters connected with the Colonies. Brussels Papers have been received to the sth of August, and the Prussian State Gazette to the Ist. The latter contains no news from the Theatre of War in the East ; but an article in the Brussels Papers, dated Belgrade, says that the late events in Bulgaria have produced a great sensation among the Servians, some of whom, being hostile to the Turks, endeavoured to excite a revolt, in which they failed. The Turkish Authorities were too strong for the time being, both there and in Bosnia. The accounts from Greece are favourable to the Greeks, who are said to have taken Thebes, and to have gained other advantages in Livadia. An article, dated Frankfort, evidently favoura ble to Russia, says, that though the negotiations may proceed between the Allied Ambassadors and the REIS EFFENDI, the war shall still con tinue, and that it is possible the Russian army may reach Constantinople before the peace makers have finished their deliberations ! These we believe to be the real sentiments of the Em peror NICHOLAS, who continues to amuse his neighbours with professions of moderation, while his armies are securing the great object of his ambition. Once at Constantinople, and the theme of moderation will be changed to the lawyer's maxim of—possession is nine points of the law—and " They shall keep, who have the power— " While they may take who can!" BELGRADE, JULY 11 . —The late events in the theatre of war have produced great sensations in Servia, and the party hostile to the Turks has attempted to take advantage of the occasion to excite troubles; in which, however, they have not succeeded. It is said that an insurrection bad broken out on the frontiers of Bosnia, but that the Turkish authorities had succeded in putting it down. This attempt has proved fatal to the authors, and the Pacha has sent their heads to Constantinople. FLORENCE, JULY 23.—Letters from Syra of the 18th say, that the Greeks have taken Thebes by capitulation. Omer Pacha, of Caristo, bad gone to the relief of Athens, hut had been defeated and obliged to abandon his positions, and to retreat to Negropont. Inconsequence of this event the Greeks had occupied Orapo, so that the Acropolis was left to itself, and would not be able to hold out much longer. Faa NICFOR.T, JULY 3 1 .—lt seems that England, Austria, Prussia, France, and even Russia, are again exerting all their efforts to induce the Porte to make peace. The question is, to know the sentiments of the Porte, and whether all this intervention of the mediating powers will not render it still more obstinate when it sees those powers manifest so much vexation at the losses sus tained by Turkey; that they are not far from call ing the victories of the Russians untoward, as England did the battle of Navarin. As things stand, a Russian might ask whether it would not have been much better for Russia not to go to war at all, than to bow now to too much condescension? What use will its victories have been, to what end the effusion of so much blood,— of what use all the expence incurred to conquer the ob stinacy of the Sultan ? Time will shew us the result of the new negociations ; but it must be recollected that the Emperor Nicholas has declared, that notwithstanding ne gociations, the war shall continue, so that it is possible the Russians may appear in the neighbourhood of Constantino ple, before the tedious negociations are terminated. BRUSSELS, AuG. 4.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumberland arrived in this city yesterday with a nu- Enema luite, coming from Germany. His Alajesty and his lloyal Highness the Prince of Orange have returned to Brussels. On Saturday the steam-boat Diana, just as she was ready to set out from Antwerp to Ghent, met with a lamentable accident, by the bursting of the boiler. In consequence of this accident, several persons were killed, and others dangeroulsy scalded. Among the former is James Ingham, the engineer. The Nuremburg Correspondent of the 290-, and the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 31st Jul:, have been received this morning. An article dated Berlin, after adverting to the mission of General MUFFLING, observes that no change of importance has taken place in the theatre of war ; but that General DIEBITSCII, having caused Shumla to be invested, has marched across the Balkan with 40,000 men, and expects to fall in with the Turks in the vicinity of Aidos. We see nothing to hinder his march, nor after descending into the plain, proceeding to Adrianople. Fifteen thousand men are to be landed at Sizeboli, who will join DIEBITSCII. The Turks at Burgos will be flanked by the army of DIEBITSCH, and their retreat cut off, unless they throw themselves into Burgos, from which they cannot afterwards escape. The Turks have no army in the plains that. can hope to meet the Russians in open battle. ‘V hat then is the SULTAN to do ? Had he not better make peace while honourable terms can yet be obtained? Obstinacy has its limits as well as other despe rate virtues : BERLIN, JULY 24.—1 t seems certain that Lieutenant- General Muffling is gone to Constantinople with a mis sion both from his Majesty the King, and the Empe ror of Russia. Another of the most distinguished Prus sian officers is gone to the Russian head-quarters on the Balkan, viz. Major Von Wildermet, not with any im portant political commission, but to give in the sequal an account of what passes there as an important eye-witness. No change of importance has yet taken place in the theatre of war. General Diebitsch has caused Shumla to be in vested, and marches with 40,000 men over the Balkan. He expected to fall in with the Turks in the vicinity of Aidos. It is believed, that if, after the proposal of Gen. Von Muffling, the Porte should not be inclined to peace, Count Diebisch will do his utmost to reach Adrianople this year. With respect to Shumla, no plan has yet been resolved upon, and it will be necessary to wait for events. Little will he done in Asia this year. What was intended to be done this campaign, was accom plished last year by the energy of Count Paskewitsch ; it was to complete the conquest of the Turkish line of for tresses on the side next Russia. The latter power can hardly go farther, without employing means which the Porte would not neglect to use, but which Russia consi ders to be below its dignity, namely, preaching rebellion, and exciting a revolt against the actual Sovereign. Such a revolt might also be attended with bad consequences to the Caucasian provinces of Russia. All that is necessary here is to keep the places that have been conquered, and maintain a show of acting on the offensive ; though, in fact, the operations are merely defensive, to preserve what has bren gained. The advance of General Paskewitsch on the road to Erzeroum, is by no means considered here as a real operation, with a view to the conquest of that city, which is situated in the heart of the enemy's country, but merely as a demonstration, to keep the enemy in check, who had ventured again to advance to the vicinity of Akhalzik. A UGSEU LIG, JULY 29.—The Commercial Gazette of St Petersburgh contains a detailed list, with explanatory remarks of all articles, the importation of which into Russia is prohibited. At the conclusion it says :—" From this impartial view every reasonable and unprejudiced person will see clearly that the number of prohibited arti cles which are of real importance is by no means great, and that the principal articles of the same classes, for instance, wool, cotton, and silk, remain permitted, and are really im ported in large quantities ; among other things, cotton yarn to the value of 30 millions of rubles and more. If some articles are entirely prohibited to the injury of the interest of foreign countries, let it be considered how many staple articles of Russian export, for instance, corn, brandy, metals, leather, sail cloth, &c. are either wholly prohibited in foreign countries, or liable to very high duties, or are permitted where no considerable demand for them is to be expected. The same maybe said of tallow, hemp, flax, and several important articles; and it is also to be observed, that many of these articles were prohibited or subjected to port duties before Russia thought of increasing the rigour of its protective system. Such a system has, besides, long subsisted, and the short-lived tarif of 1819, which de pressed all Russian manufactures, made alone an exception, and was followed by the more rigorous tarif of 1822. It is also to be observed, that the system of reciprocity has long since been introduced in Russia, and that its own ships have no advantage above those of foreign nations." AUGSBURGH, JULY 30.—Their Royal Highnesses Prince Gustavus of Vasa and his sisters Princesses Amelia and Cecelia of Sweden, passed the night of the 28th in this city, on their way from Bucharest to Vienna. Mar quis Barbacena, the Brazilian Ambassador, arrived here the same evening, on his way to Munich. VIENNA, JULY 25.—The various reports in circula tion here respecting the intentions of the Porte, accord ing as they have met with more or less credit, have caused much fluctuation in our funds, though we have no official news. It is certain that an estafette from Constantinople, of the 7th, received by a house here, has brought no po litical news of any importance beyond what we already know of the expressions of the Reis Effendi to the European Ambassadors. Letters from Trieste say, that the Greek troops, under Augustin Capo d'lstria, had mu tinied on account of their pay, but that the President had taken means to satisfy them, and restore order. VIENNA, JULY 25.—Metalliques, 99k; Bank Shares, 1,140.}. The news from Constantinople, of the 7th July say, that the two Ambassadors have had an audience of the SULTAN, and been graciously received ; but that little hopes of a satisfactory termination of their mission were entertained. The Rais EYFENDI took high ground, and re sorted to the old system of evasion and bounce. The report of the Corn Averages, as publish ed this day, gave the six weeks' average for Wheat at 675. Id., which leaves the duty at 18s. Bd. per quarter. The duty on Foreign Barley has, however, declined, the six weeks' average being 325., and the duty now 13s. 10d., a fall of ls. 6d. per quarter from our last report. The duty on all other Foreign Grain remains as we last published. Mr. LAwLEss has addressed a letter to the Editor of a Morning Paper, in which he vindi cates himself at length from the unfounded statements urged against him in Mr. WysE's " History of the late Catholic Association." Jn our opinion, this vindication is complete. Mr. LAWLESS not only refutes the silly calumny of his having ran away from Ballibay, in conse quence of which one of leis own partisans was reported to have aimed a pistol at his breast ; but likewise successfully redeems himself from the charge of having made a journey of mere preparation, when he should have been actively engaged in organizing the Catholic Rent. Our business, however, at present is not so much with Mr. LAwLEss's d e f enc e of himself from charges which none but the most prejudiced Orangemen can entertain for an in stant, as with hisgrateful and disinterested manner of speaking of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL. It is gratifying, amid the meanness and purblind spirit of judgment, that party too often engenders, to see a man, formerly one of the bitterest political opponents of the illustrious Statesmen in question, stepping publicly forward in a becoming and generous spirit of man hood, and acknowledging his own and his country's obliga tions to them in the following decided manner " Like sensible, and, I will say, good men, they struck to the voice of necessity, and the surren der is not more to be praised for its wisdom than for its courage, in the just and proper applica tion of the sentiment. There is not a venal fool of faction—not a reptile which the corruption of monopoly and intolerance can give birth to-- which does not assail the character of Mr. PEEL for that very act of his political life for which the historian will feel it his duty to hand him down to posterity in a strain of eloquent eulogium. Let the Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. PEEL go on—let them follow up the spirit of the Act they have already carried, and the future content and tranquillity of Ireland will be their best re ward and their most splendid triumph. They may depend upon it, as they are persecuted by the WINCIIILSEAS of the one House, and the SAD LERS and TRANTS of the other, the people of Ireland will cling to them, the common sense of England will uphold them, and the contemptible fanaticism of their enemies will perpetuate their power." THE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwELYR 0' CLOCK. A Halifax mail has arrived this morning by the Badger, which sailed on the 16th of July, and by which we have received Halifax Papers of that date at the North and South American Coffee house. The Paper of the 15th of July states that his Excellency Sir Helgrove Turner, the Lieute nant-Governor of Bermuda, lady and family, arrived on Sunday in his Majesty's ship Badger. They will proceed in a few days to the United States. BOSTON, JULY 11.—The British frigate Barham, which got on shore near Curracoa, was so much damaged that she has been condemned. Much dread prevails in Barbadoes of the failure of the crops and scarcity of provisions. By the Jane, Bermuda Papers of the 23d ult. have been received, in which there is a letter from the Colonial Secretary of State, to his Excellency P. Ross, the Lieut.-Governor of Antigua, on the subject of the support of the Custom Establishment in that- island; it appears that the question was most honourably settled in the last Session of the Legislature. From the Boston Papers received this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 12th July, we learn that a smart shock of an earthquake was felt at St. Thomas's. It appears by the most recent advices from Colombia, that the Peruvians had not yet surrendered Guayquil. Consols, which left off yesterday at 884 s for the Account, opened this morning at 88i 4, and at present may be quoted 884 I, with little or nothing doing. The Foreign Market at present remains without a feature worthy of observation. Three per Cent. Consols, 888 4 ; Ditto for August, 884 a; Three per Cent. Reduced, 898 ; Three and a half per Cent.

No political news had occurred. The April packet was to sail on the 14th June. Jamaica Papers have arrived to the 20th June. PORT-AU-PRINCE, MARCH s.—The amount of British imports into Hayti does not exceed by the Government account 1,457,281 dollars, and the ex port on British account 1,963,332 dollars. The loss in remittances has been such as to reduce occa sionally the value of the current dollars to 3s. sterling. Letters are in town from Oporto of 14th July. We do not hear they bring any thing of importance. Up to the present time we have no further news from the East.

THE DAVENELS, OR A CAMPAIGN OF FASHION IN DUBLIN.—This work is ascribed to a lady of great influence at the Vice-Regal Court of Dublin, and the object of the volumes is to give a picture of the various aspects of high life in that capital. The intricate process of match-making among the great, is said to be unfolded with all the adroitness and not a little of the light but stinging raillery of a female wit ; and an amusing exhibi tion is made of the affectations and eccentricities of the young English Aides-de-Camp, who swell the train of the LORD LIEUTENANT. The administration of justice in Portugal is every day becoming more partial. A rich widow was ordered to deliver a daughter to marry the son of a Ge neral, as part of the reward for his services to the Usurper, while the same Tribunal gave a decision against a young officer whose marriage with a young lady was opposed on the part of her relations, because an accusation was pre ferred against him of being rather of a liberal turn. FLORAL BEAUTY,—There is now growing in front of the dwelling-house of Sheriff FETTES, in this city, a passion flower tree, which has only been planted a very short time, and yet has been so luxuriant in its growth, as to be seven yards in height. It displays nume rous full-blown flowers, and has thousands of buds ready to burst forth in all thelsolemn magnificence of this splendid plant.— York Courant. STUDDING SAIL KITES.—We were amused yesterday afternoon with the working of a large and new fashioned paper kite, in what sailors would call a one•knot breeze. This kite was built in the shape of a ship's top sail, and was carried aloft during a wind hardly strong enough to can y the smoke from the chimney tops out of the perpendicular line of its ascent, by means of studding sails on each side, of some eight or ten feet in length, which were rigged out upon slender booms, and worked by guys of minute dimensions, in a truly nautical style. The juvenile members of society must take advantage of this aeronautic improvement.—Boston Daily Adver ti;er, July 4. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The Siroe, Marsh, from New Orleans, Robert Boyd, bound to Eastport, and the Pyramus, for Ja maica, were driven on shore near Liverpool, on Monday night, during a very heavy gale from N.N.W. The latter must discharge part of her cargo; the others have been got off. The St. Andrew steamer was driven on shore at Whitehaven, and received considerable damage. The Hector, M'Donald, bound to Demerara, was on shore in the Clyde on Monday, and it was feared would be damaged. The William and Henry, Lane, of Blyth, was driven on shore yesterday morning, near Lowestoft. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. COMMISSION OF REBELLION. Mr. &mit stated that he appeared for Mr. Chas. Clarke, who had been committed for obstructing the execution of a Commission of Rebellion, to pray that he might be ordered to be brought up to appear personally upon his trial, having, as he conceived, been illegally committed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who was on the other side, did not oppose the application for an order to bring up the prisoner. The LORD CHANCELLOR desired him to be brought up to-morrow morning. Mr. BLIGH hoped that as the prisoner had already been four days illegally confined, he might be allowed to be brought up to-day. It was then agreed that he should be brought up, and his case heard to-day at one o'clock. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. South Sea Stock — Old Annuities New Ditto Ex. Bills, .£1,(1)0 2d. 75 76 pm.

The Master had approved of Sir John Tyrrell as the committee of the person of the lunatic; and the question was, whether the Master's report to that effect should or should not be confirmed ? In the year 1817, Dr. Jenner (Doctor of Divinity,) made his will, by which he directed that Sir John Tyrrell should be appointed the guardian of his son, the lunatic. Upon the validity of this will a serious doubt had arisen in consequence of the interference of Sir John Tyrrell in the preparation and execu tion of it. The validity of the will is hereafter to be tried. Should it be established, the result will be greatly to the advantage of Sir John, inasmuch as he will become possessed of consider able property under it, as against the lunatic, who is the heir-at law of the testator, and occasions the lunatic to be wholly dependent on the pleasure of Sir John, as to the maintenance he should be al lowed. The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judg ment, requested to be distinctly understood as giving no opinion whatever upon the merits of the case, as regarded the preparation and execution of the will ; but regarding the situations in which both Sir John and the lunatic stood in principle, he felt bound, under the present circumstances, to refuse to confirm the Master's report, approving of Sir John as the committee, and to send it back to him to make a new choice. COLEBROOK V. LEIGH. Mr. HORNE applied for leave to pay into Court the amount of a certain annuity due to Mrs. Taff, that a receiver might be discharged, and that his client might be let into possession. Mr. BICKERSTETH was on the same side. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the motion, the effect of which be conceived to be by a short hand to deprive his client of the right of an im portant election she had been declared by the Court at liberty to make, there being a question of dower depending, and the whole being at this mo ment in a state of inquiry before the Master. The LORD CHANCELLOR considered the applica tion altogether premature. He could not interfere with that which was in a train of investigation be fore the Master. If any unnecessary delay took place in the Master's Office, the parties might then apply to the Court. SCOUGALL V. CAMPBELL. The LORD CHANCELLOR in this case limited, on the application of Mr. KNIGHT, the time allowed to Mr. Freshfield, for the purpose of answering Mr. Stead's affidavits, to one month from this time. ROMAN CATHOLICS APPOINTED TO OFFICE. The LORD CHANCELLOR, under the powers of the late Act of Parliament, passed for the relief of his Majesty's Rotna n Catholic subjects, has been pleased to appoint several attornies at law, professors of the Roman Catholic religion, Mailers Extraordinary in Chancery. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. At the sitting of the Court Mr. TRESLOVE asked his Honour if he would hear a motion for a special injunction, (which the Court had given him permis sion to make this day) then or at five o'clock. SOLICITOR GENERAL—I object to its being heard at all to-day; there is quite sufficient business before the Court in cases of bankruptcy. VICE-CHANCELLOR—Yes, certainly; it must not interfere with the business appointed for to-day. I cannot hear it. Mr. TRESLoVE—It is a motion for a special in junction, Sir. VICE-CHANCELLOR ---I cannot hear it. Mr. TRESLoVE—But, your Honour, it is of great importance to my client, and if the Court, at a-sug gestion of the Solicitor-General's, refuses to hear it, it will cause particular injury. VICE-CHANCELLOR —I cannot hear it. Registrar, call on the next case. Mr. TREsLOVE—Your Honour will recollect, I had your special permission four days since to make this motion to-day. 1 really am surprised and asto nished that the Court should now refuse to hear it. The Solicitor-General's convenience ought not to be consulted at the expence of suitors. Will your Honour hear it to-morrow, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, or any other day before the Court rise;? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL —It cannot be heard on Monday; there are already fifty pressing causes appointed for that day ; besides you are not en titled to any indulgence. You ask for an injunc tion to restrain proceedings in an action at l aw com menced last February; in July you file this bill for an injunction,. and not till within a few days of the Court's rising, do you make your appli cation. VICE-CHANCELLOR —I have decided that it ean not now be made, therefore let me hear no more about it. I will hear it on Monday, if there is an opportunity. Mr. TRESLOvE—What am I to understand your Honour to mean by opportunity ? If it means that in case there should be no other business to go on with, my client has but a poor chance of b e ing heard, and the application is to prevent a person , now secreting himself; from removing property ° which he is not entitled. I must beg of the Cotlf, to hear it. SOLICITOR-GENERAL—II cannot interfere with the regular business before the Court. VICE- CHANCELLOR—I again say, that I c annot now hear it. Mr. TRESLOVE-But your granting permissil n four days since has put my clients to considerab expellee, in filing affidavits, &c. VICE-CHANCELLOR—CaII on the next cause. Mr. TRESLOVE (in an under tone)—l am s tir' prised—astonished. The conversation here dropped, and the CoVri afterwards proceeded with petitions in bankrupts/ of no general interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DO') MANSION-110118g. OBSTRUCTION IN THE THAMES FROM tilt Wogics AT THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE.-The orders of l e i Doke of Wellington as to the speedy completion of works are so rigidly complied with, that the contractor'i Sir Edward Banks and Mr. Joliffe, have thought it nee , ' sary to create an enormous evil in their hurry to carry ipto effcet the views of the Minister. Instead of disposing aE the hundreds of tons of rubbish which they clear alf 3 / from the works in their barges, by shooting it on 1 01 1 i: they throw it all into the Thames, and thus stop 0. 1 4 ' vissages to the wharfs for vessels of any size larger th" cock-boats. It is in vain that they have been expostrilaW with ; they consider themselves sanctioned by the Lonfro!; bridge Committee in filling up the Thames, to the t otP destruction of the business of individuals on its bank'', This is the more alarming, as it seems to be appreben dea that the navigation above bridge will not at all be serrel by the demolition of the old bridge. Mr. Blencairn, an extensive wharfinger, came to t ile Justice•room to state in his own complaint the complaints of the other wharfingers. Ile said that some of the barg es of the contractors were constantly employed in flinging the rubbish in the neighbourhood of his wharf, and tl' e consequence was, that in places where there were formed! 14 or 15 fret of water, there were now not so many inches' The LORD MAYOR—When Sir Edward Banks bee': to create this nuisance, I advised you to proceed ags i r him by information, and I would have taken care to D°° him for every offence in the full penalty of 201., o r to ill; diet him for the nuisance. Why did you not proceed Hi s once ? Mr. Blencairn said he did not wish to appear '- act harshly. His property was sustaining great, a nd per' haps irreparable injury, but still he would prefer O s mildest course. If his Lordship would write to Sr a Edward upon the subject, no doubt proper attention won, be paid to the communication. The LORD MAYOR said, that he had no idea of actin!; in such ar case, otherwise than as a Magistrate. If CO pulsory proceedings were not adopted, the nuisance yr ° not be checked, and by and by the navigation would hit: completely destroyed. The fact was that Sir Jo se % Bankes found it much cheaper to throw the rubbish, wh i c h he had contracted to clear away from the works, into the ii Thames, than to remove it in carts to places in whic h could do no harm. Another wharfinger said that some of the wharfs we re so peculiarly affected by the tides, that if rubbish We l thrown into the middle of the river, it would in a Bb° time shift itself to the immediate neighbourhood of those wharfs. poi T in he ds, L s o h a il n ling A s l:t a Y n o d ß said, pence o t n ha t t he themtt part of the WM o ne °f torl and no ceremony ought to be shewn them. They O s raise up all the rubbish which they had thrown in. Mr. Blencairne said, that at his wharf alone the (1 08 :i tity amounted to hundreds upon hundreds of tons. He 11 0 felt an unwillingness to complain in the fear that he 81 1 ° 4 be supposed inclined to throw any impediment in the lc* of the great national structure now approaching to its cep ° pletion ; but the evil was becoming most serious. Be the directed, at the recommendation of the Lord Mayor, hire Holler, jun , to proceed at once by information against contractors. vV It is believed that the Duke of Wellington will be Pre sent during the enquiry, and it is whispered that his Grl has tacitly sanctioned the conduct of the contractors, o .__A it the determination to remedy it as soon as the work is fioisP'" by a most extensive clearance of obstructions. BOW-STREET. Esther Wingham, a chimney-sweeper's wife, patroness of blue kid gloves and velvet tippets, apPe B 7 o to answer a charge of assault on a poor girl of abou t " r years of age. The child was accompanied by her sis te d ; who, although nut more than IS, stated that she wo,,: h eldest of six, who were left without father or mother- L e r defendant had agreed to keep and find her in clothes for services ; she had retained her a year, but had gives ~1 no clothes, and had struck her several times, in proof of which the poor child exhibited marks on her back, anA habiliments of the most disgusting character. Th e " r , a t " fendant, a very sharp personage, in answer to this c h : contended—first, that the girl was lazy and impu deli ii ; secondly, that she had given her good clothes, which! would not wear ; and thirdly, that she had not starle.. either her or any of her boys, in proof of which she Ob.' bited two little dumpy negro boys, whose appearance Int; dicated that the dingy profession was as well suited their dispositions as their complexions. Sir R. Binwiz reproved the defendant for ill-tr ee td an orphan ; commended the sister (a servant) for the c s dr she took of her helpless sisters, and directed that the fendant should be discharged on paying for the warrant.
