moment holds a large living in Connaught. Awl pray what good can the people reap from the talent s of this clerical absentee ? I know of one union not far ham this place, which is valued between 3,0001. and 4,000/. a year. It is formed of five parishes, which until the passing of the late act in the year 1827 could not have been dissolved. As to the Anions pro hac vice, the contiguity of parishes has been taken advantage of to a most tinwarrantab:e extent, to unite those which had always previously supported separate clergymen and separate churches. Reserving further particulars, names of parishes,— aye, and names of clergymen too; for I have a tole rable stock of facts on hand, for another occasion, —I beg at present to call your Lordship's attention to the return made by the Bishops to Parliament in the year 1820. From this return it appeared that in the diocese of Clonfert and Kilmacduah there were 59 parishes united into 14 benefices ! Of one of these the Bishop himself tells us it consists of 34,000 acres, and certainly ought to be dissolved ! This was not a solitary case. At the same period it also appeared, there were in the dioceses of Cork and Ross 107 parishes, united into 77 benefices, with only 43 incumbents resident near enough to perform the duties ! In the diocese of Cloyne (where I reside) I find at that period 123 parishes united into 77 benefices ; and though the Bishop who then filled the See, represented 46 incumbents as being resident, it is well known how untrue some of his Lordship's statements were. These few facts taken from public documents speak for themselves, and ought to suffice. As for pluralities, your Lord ship will probably give me an opportunity of speak ing of these another time."—Times. In our number of yesterday we entered upon the topic of the existing relations between Great Britain and Portugal less at large than the im portance of the subject seemed to call for, more especially as we have since learned that it is a point which will be submitted to Parliament at a eery early period of the ensuing Session. We h ave e!ready recorded our opinion that it it de sirable at the first proper opportunity to place the intercourse of the two countries upon a basis of sufficient stability—to give a security to the spirit of commercial enterprise which it does not at this moment possess—but we deprecated the attempt at any thing approximating to those Quixotic demonstrations, from the effects of which, as resorted to upon former occa sions, we are not likely soon to recover. The ureat object of the British Cabinet is at this mo ment to ascertain unequivocally the sentiments of the Portuguese people ; but the question appa rently so simple and easy of solution, assumes, from the peculiar nature of the elements which enter into the compe ! eition of society in that portion of the Peninsula, a very complicated end difficult aspect. The individual who at present wields the sceptre of Portugal, has, as we have already said, a preponderating numerical superiority of adherents. The Clergy, with ex ceptions too insignificant in number and influ ence to be taken into account, are with him and, as a necessary consequence with a popula tion by whom a blind devotion to their spiritual guides is carried to an extent of which we can scarcely form a conception, the mass of the )ower orders are firm adherents to the interests o r :Miguel, The same may be asserted of the great b0!1V of the Nobility; but amongst them the exception: are more numerous and more im portant ; still, howeZ.f% leaving hire an pnques tionable majority of that 674 et, The only rally- ing point of those who cannot be . recoils cited to the existing order of things, or be brought to acknowledge as a Sovereign the man whom they designated as an Usurper, is to be found in the intermediate class be tween these two extremes ; but, in that inter mediate class is comprehended a great propor tion of the intelligence and property of the king dom. In the slight and hurried sketch we have just given will he found the cause of the diffi culty of determining with precision which party is entitled to represent public opinion: and we apprehend that this is precisely what embarrasses the operation of the British Cabinet, and gives to their position an air of irresolution, from which they are most anxious to redeem it the moment it can be done, without subjecting them to the imputation of direct interference with the interns! concerns of ad independent kingdom. But this, it is obvious„ cannot be remedied, with out a demonstration on the part of the Portu guese themselves of such a name as to set at rest, in one way or the other, the ainLipity which at present hangs over their proceedings ate inclinations.

Besides, it is perfectly eal7 to renew our amicable relations, in so far as the inteiel7 ll of British subjects may require, without at all compromising the reputation of our Cabinet by any step that could be strained into an approval of usurpation.—Morning Chronicle. One of the many errors of our tribe of politi cal economists is that of overvaluing our foreign trade, and undervaluing the internal domestic consumption of the country. On this subject, notwithstanding the intricacy in which it is at tempted to be involved, we know of no surer pi c k . . or test to try it by than every man's com mon senZ and general observation ; and is there, we would ash", any man living, who, applying those qualities tt: the subject, and taking our population at 15,000,6'90, can believe that there Is any quantity of manufacitieed goods, which the inhabitants of other countries (exeluszve of our own colonies) will take from us, that can make it worth while to say to the home producer or consumer " We must first look to the foreign cuetonter, for, as compared with him, you are nobody ?" v.bile the real fact is that the home consumer is every body, and in comparison with him the Ihreign consumer is a mere chance customer, whom we are willing enough to serve, but to vards whom, in comparison with the oiler, it isnot worth ‘shile to make the smallest sacri fice. for him the disciples of the Huskis sonian schoe'l make every sacrifice. " Perish," say they in effeci:, " our home trade, so that our foreign trade is but I.2ade amenable to the wants and fiscal regulations of foreign States." Well, we have paid our homage At the door of this new-fangled theory. VVe have ee74d to foreign States " Here we are , ready to ( I CM Fitll YOU upon terms anost disadvantageous !o oueselyes, but advantageous to you ;" and what hag been the result ? Not a single additional foreign customer has upon the whole been gained tp the export account, while our interngtrade and con eoznption have diminished at nearly eery point. Now we ask the advocates of free trade, and of restricted currency, would such have been the case had the ;se two subjects not :;:Yen meddled with ? Would i&ls, would sugar, woe every other necessary of • hie, have fallen hack face of a yearly-increasing population, had the Government possessed the gm: J. sense to meet the necessarily increased demand by inch Eased fa cilities' Instead of which it has Leen our wis dom, forsooth, at one and the same time, to 4ake from every man at home the means of buying, for the sake of facilitating those means to the foreign consumer, which he, for obvious reasons, has not availed himself of. We say for obvious reasons, because he had from us already nearly all that lie could take, and had most of the com modities already as cheap or cheaper at his own door than we, with all our relaxation of duties, could supply them to him. The folly then of the Huskissonian school consists in looking abroad, while as British Statesmen, they should have been looking at home, Every state of so ciety is artificial to a certain degree : our's is peculiarly so. To pay the interest of an enor mous debt, public imposts must exist to an ex tent unknown in any other country ; and for any Statesman to say that, thus situated, we can blend ourselves in common with untaxed com munities, is, to say the least of it, a species of political insanity, from the effects of which the good sense of Parliament, aided by dear-bought experience, will, it is to be hoped, soon relieve us.—Morning Herald. The proceedings at an entertainment which was given the other (lay by some of the inhabi tants of Youghal to Mr. O'Connell, present se veral highly characteristic traits, and are preg nant with melancholy information as to the state and prospects of the sister kingdom. The com pany at this festive meeting consisted, as we learn by the Irish Papers, of 150 Gentlemen, and of the names thought worthy of record we notice that one half, or thereabouts, are those of Roman Catholic Priests. It is scarcely neces sary to mention, that in pouring out a libation in honour of their guest, the name of O'Connell was coupled with the title of " The Liberator of Ireland," since this has become the establish ed formula upon all such occasions. It is more important, however, in order to show the spirit of the meeting, to notice the fact that Mr. O'Con nell proposed " The health of Mr. Mor rogh, the firm and conscientious Juror," to remind our readers that this is the per son who has acquired so much celebrity by his conduct in that capacity during the recent judicial proceedings at Cork, and the con stitution of whose mind, as then exhibited, gave rise to an expression of astonishment from the Bench—and to add, that this toast was received with bursts of applause, almost as loud and en thusiastic as any that resounded in honour of the Great Liberator himself. The occurrences we have mentioned, important and significant as they must appear, would probably not have suf ficed to attract our particular notice ; but the language addressed to this meeting by " the Great Liberator"—to this meeting, probably collected together by the influence of Roman Catholic Priests, and of Ili hich certainly Roman Catholic Priests were the most conspicuous and influential members, seems to us so plainly indi cative of the scenes which are preparing in Ire land—presents so clear a prospect of new agita tion in that country, distinguishable from the •, pfd, no doubt, by its watchwords and pretexts, but impelled by the same springs, maintained in activity . by the same agency, similar in intensity, equal in its powers of mischief, identical, in a word, in all respects, except its badges and pro fessions—that the transaction cannot be over iopked without a flagrant violation of duty.— After some declamation, which we willingly omit in honour of the Bill of last Session, the Aciitator proceeds thus to adargo the ghostly 0 confederates, in whose strength alone he knows that he is strong : ‘f Conscience is free, a broad embracing principle is established, and we have shaken off the bla.- phomou3 Penal Code, which raised a barrier be tween man and his Maker.

Ireland is too good to be a province, and she must, and shall again, have her resident Parlia ment.

There is we know ,a disposition among the people in this country to ;regard such language as we have quoted as the mere raying pf folly and disaffection. But a more fatal mistake, we are persuaded, there cannot be, than that of con cluding there is nothing ominous in such a pro ject, announce4l by Mr. O'Connell, and received with acclamation by the Roman Catholic Priests and people of Ireland, merely because we feel that no man could avow it in this country with out becoming the object of universal ridicule, The chances of success, so far as the ostensible and avowed design is concerned, are we know infinitely smell y but the real objects of keeping agitation alive, of maintaining in the hearts of the people sentiments of erni4ty and distrust to ;Yards the Government of England, of prevent ing peace- and order from acquiring even a teie, f . porary dorninio,:i, may be pursued not the less, but perhaps the more effectually, that the project, in the name and iniger the pretence of which the passions of the p.eople are to be excited, is utterly hopeless. •We .49 not suppose that the agitators of Ireland, or that the Roman Catholic Priesthood, from whom they derive their whole efficacy, and their • pernet4al impulse, have any hope of effecting a dis's'olutlon a ;,11.0 Union.

We have frequently had occasion to impugn the principle on which Magistrates have occa sionally decided cases of information brought against Licenced Victuallers, by those pests and disgraces of society, common informers ; we allude to the unworthy, unjustifiable, and, we will add, illegal preference which has been given to the testimony of a common informer, over that of an independent, unprejudiced, and dis interested witness—a preference which the law never once authorized, and which is as repug nant to the spirit of justice, as it is most unjust and injurious to the interest of individuals and the public welfare. We have now, however, the pleasure of directing the attention, and, we are confident, the approbation also, of our readers to one of the ablest expositions of the law of evidence, and rule of judgment, in cases of in formation, where conflicting evidence is adduced, which we ever remember to have met with, an ex position given on Thursday last by that learned and upright Magistrate Mr. Serjeant Sellon, at Hatton-garden, and which we would fain hope will not prove without its use to his brethren, both in that office and elsewhere. The case was shortly this, An informer swore that he had been served, con trary to the Act, with a certain quantity of gin, between eleven and twelve o'clock on a Sunday, a short time back ; and an impartial witness on the other side swore that he had seen the door of the licensed victualler's house for an hour and a half on the day in question, including the hour named in the summons, and that he had seen none served, although he had seen many turned away who wished to be served. The decision of Mr. Serjeant Sellon upon the case was delivered in nearly the following terms : " It is a very difficult thing directly to prove a negative, and such is the situation in which a publican is placed in these informations. It is a different thing where testimony is admitted against testimony on equal grounds ; but here, although I do not mean to throw out reflec tion on any side, nor to insinuate that the wit ness of the informer is an incompetent witness, yet we know that he is an interested witness. The witnesses for the defence have not directly disproved all of them the special charges, but their general evidence proves that they had ap plied for themselves, and had seen others apply to be served at the house of the defendant within the time stated, and they had all been refused. None of the witnesses had sworn to more than they had been eye witnesses to ; and indeed I would have had a very. poor opinion of the evi dence had it gone farther ; but taking it on the general ground that SO many were refused on the day, and these the friends of the defendant, it is strong presumption that he was not likely to be caught by an individual application from a party who was unknown to him. I will not attempt to account for the difference in the evi dence. The witness of the informer may have mistaken the day or the hour ; or there may exist some mistake somewhere ; but when so many persons come forward, and give evidence, who we know are disinterested—who are tradesmen and neighbours—and oppose a single witness, who has an interest in the conviction, the mat ter can admit of only one mode of treatment. • Under these circumstances of the case, the com plaint must be discharged."—Morn. Advertiser. LAW INTELLIGENCE. PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 6. LILLIE V. LILLIE. The deceased in this suit was Mr. Charles Ed ward Lillie, of Sion College-gardens, who died Oc tober 28, 1828, leaving a widow, Mrs. Anna Lillie, one of the parties in the suit, a mother, Mrs. Chris tiana Lillie, the other party, a brother and a sister. In October, 1827, about a month after h i s mar riage, the deceased, being then attacked by a pul monary complaint, executed a will and codicil, whereby the bulk of his property, real and personal (about 4,0001.), was bequeathed to his mother and brother, to the exclusion of his wife. The reason assigned for this disposition was, that he had re ceived but a small sum of money from his wife's father, who was able to maintain her. This will was deposited in the hands of Mr. John Whitmore, a confidential friend and executor. Some time be fore his death, the deceased sent for the will, and Mr, Whitmore gave it into the hands of a servant at Mr. Lillie's house, with directions to deliver it to him. Not being forthcoming at his decease, th e widow claimed an intestacy, on the presumption of law that a testamentary instrument not in existence, under these circumstances, was destroyed by the testator. On behalf of Mrs. Christiana Lillie, it was contended that the instrument had never reached the hands of the deceased, but was destroyed with out his privity ; and the Court was prayed to pro nounce for a (1, aught of the will. !ter bearing Dr. LUSHINGTON and Dr. Npuipt i t, for the legatees under the will, and Dr. DoDsoN and Dr. ADDAMS on behalf of the widow, Gir JpttN NIcISOLL observed, that as the will was not forthcoming . , the party setting up the copy was bound to prove that the priginal bad been destroyed, not by the deceased, but by rAmp other, without his knowledge or authority. The only difficulty in the case was to find a fair ground to justify the mother in setting up this case, and in charging the widow with perj4ry, and indirectly with spoliation of the will. All the facts were known to Mrs. C. Lillie, and to the exccptorf, who were satisfied that the will had been revoked, 00er:these cirqinstanees, it was not just to the widow to bUrtheu her 'with the costs; and therefore, in pronowigigg against the paper propounded, and for an intestacy, he khould !2pti4cryin Mrs. C. Lillie in the costs of the suit. - - COURT OF CONDP,EqATES—SznJEANT's - INN . QUESTION OF PRIVILEcE•7-7INkOET ANT DECISION. WESTMEATH V. WESTMEATIi, In the suit of separation, promoted by the Mar , chioness of Westmeath against George Thomas Jolo, Marquis of Westmeath, the Judge in the Consistory Coiwt having pronounced sentence, di rected a motion for ri,yo - i;;V, of costs to be issued against the noble Marquis, who refused crimpliance with the order, pleading his privilege as a peer or . the re4lrp. In ordinayy cases of contumacy the caption of the person is resorted to, but Lefore the powers of this Conrt could he enforced, it became necessary to settle a very ?mportant qiiestion as to the extent oit protection from arrest ef,Forded to a peer by virtue of his privilege. The question was referred to the Court of de)e- gates, and by them to the whole commission, who accordingly met the last session in July, but finally postp s mAl . ;:,;dgment until the commencement of the present term. • 711,4reday the Judges again as sembled and the Learned Poni;s . , - #:, t!.11 Kings Ad vocate, and Mr. Broderip, having- been bebaLf ,f,if the noble Marquis, and brs. ;Ltisbinton i t acf Adams t,,pinst, the Court was cleared, and w h en ro_hchi.kkttcd ge,f,;istrar then read thei: Lords Wop !teciPicoP.. aid heaTrdheCojuurdageelsortlat7)?hgataf and read • meath, the respondent, pronounced the said George Thomas John, Marquis of Westmeath, in contempt of the law and juris diction ecclesiastical, in not having obeyed the mo nition heretofore issued by this Court, and duly served upon him, and returned into Court, to pay the sum of 2011. 45. 8(1., the amount of the bill of expenses duly taxed, on behalf of Emily Ann Ben nett, Marchioness of Westmeath, and decreed such hs contumacy to be signified according to the tenour of the statute in that case made and provided. Accordingly a significavit, in due form, was di rected to be placed in the hands of the Lord Chan cellor, with whom the ulterior proceedings rest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A lad named Thatcher, a waterman's apprentice, was charged with having extorted more than his fare, on landing two passengers from a steam•boat. It was proved that he insisted on Is. as his fare for two persons, when 4d. was the legal fare for landing one, and 3d. for each of two persons. The LORD MAYOR, with the consent of the pro secutor, under the defendant's manifest inability to pay any fine, and promises of amendment, permitted him to be discharged on the payment of costs. Forster, the Marshalman, said they were 3s. The LORD MAYOR asked what the 38. costs were for ? Forster—One shilling for the summons, and 2s. for the service, as it took much time, for I had to go a long distance. The LORD MAYOR—Your time 1 your time be longs to the public, from whom you receive a sa lary. But lam determined to inquire into these practices. The Marshalmen must not be permitted to exercise such a discretion. I have heard instances of their refusing to serve warrants unless they were paid 55.; anti that in other cases they prescribe their own teems for doing a public duty. This cannot go on. Brand (another of the Marshalmen)—My Lord, we charge only at the fixed rate laid down by the Court of Aldermen. Our salaries are low, in con sideration of our being paid for the summonses and warrants which we get to serve. Very often the distress-warrants, for which we only get 55., give us a deal of trouble, especially from the Quakers, who resist for the sake of conscience. We have all the troublesome things, by which we sometimes get no more than Is. a piece, whilst those warrants, which might be worth 5/. or 101. to us, are given to others. The LORD MAYOR—Worth five or ten pounds to you! What do you mean ? Brand—l mean war rants to apprehend people for felony, or what not, when we have to go into the country, and are paid our expences. Tl,e LORD 'MAYOR—I shall certainly inquire into this system. It is most grievous that the public should be so taxed in obtaining justice, and that in dividuals who have been wronged, or who have lost property, should be compelled by any system to lose more in older to obtain redress. Prosecutors ought not to be exposed as a property for fees to officers. Brand declared that for himself he was really die po;ed to give his Lordship all the information and assistance towards his proposed inquiry. GUILDHALL. A number of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Bartholomew the Great attended before Sir PETER LAURIE yesterday, upon summonses for refusing to pay their paving and poor rates. Mr. Dougall, for the defendants, called for the minutes of the vestry at which the first rate was made, agreeably to a notice he had given to the clerk of the trustees, this parish being governed by a select vestry. Mr. Gale thought it was not necessary to pro duce this; upon producing a rate in good legal form, he was entitled to demand a warrant of distress against defaulters. Mr. Dougall was instructed the rate was not made in vestry on the day named in it, and wished to show from the minutes that it was an illegal rate. Sir P. LAURIE thought the book ought to be pro duced. After a discussion of nearly three hours' conti nuance, Mr. Dougall's objections were referred to the city solicitor, who said, that as a general prin ciple, if the Magistrate thought the rate unfair, he would leave the trustees to apply to the Judges for a mandamus to compel him to issue his warrants of distress. The hearing was adjourned till the 17th instant. Henry White, a country dealer hi cheese, was charged with knowingly receiving a gold snuff-box and a gilt watch, which had been burglariously stolen, with other articles, from the premises of the Rey. Mr. Hook, near Coventry, about a fortnight sinne. Gardner, a constable of Coventry, said three men had been apprehended for the burglary, one of whom, named Hutchins, had confessed that he sold the box to the prisoner White. The reverend gen tleman being anxious to get back the box, witness obtained leave to bring Hutchins to town to point out the receiver. Wit nes was assisted by Ruthven in endeavouring to trace White, who was brought to him last night at a public-house in Aldersgate street ; but previously Hutchins had made his escape. He had asked leave to write a letter, and his hand cuffs were taken off for that purpose, and while he was writing witness fell asleep over a newspaper, and Hutchins slipped away. In answer to a question from the Alderman, the officer said he was sure no drugs had been put into his drink ; but he fell asleep from fatigue, having been walking about all day, and had no sleep for the three nights preceding. On one of them he had assisted in apprehending four of the transports who escaped from the coach. They were found in the woods near Coventry. Sir PETER LAURIE said, he might be a very honest man, but he would not do for the London police. He remanded the prisoner to give him an opportu nity of looking after Hutchins, BOW-STREET, Yesterday two young men of genteel exterior, named Thomas Jones and Joseph Warren, were brought before Mr. AIInnULL, charged by Somers and Tilley, two of the new police constables, with haying obstructed them while in the execution of their dot y, It appeared that about 12 o'clock on Thursday night, two women of the town were proceeding along Holborn in a state of intoxication, when Somers, one of the complainants, told them to move on. They refused to do so, and became noisy and abusive. The constOle then told them that he should take them to tbeWatCti-bonsc,apd was proceeding todo so when the defendants came up, and interfered. They spoke in fiery lofty term of the liberty of the sub ject and the illegality of constables cOntrolling the actions of peaceable well-disposed citizens, and finally they took the women under their care, and walked away with them. In about half after both the defendants again returned to Holborn,innegan t ! ;opt the complainants with having " robbed them 'of "their prey, al',udincr to the two females with whom they had walked taay . . The constables at length told the defendants, that if they continued to annoy them they should be un der the necessity of taking them to the watch-house, and the de;eadv,nts, having persisted in their con duct, were locked up. • The defendants Male a long defence, explaining and defending their conduct'. Mr. MiNsuum, observed, that the police consta bles' apptiawcd tp. have acted very properly. The Magistra.tes then told the goutl,emep. they were dis charged, but cautioned them not td'inttir'fere in ft tune . with police- . constabies, 'whO had a difficult disagreeable ditty to perform.

NA RLBOROU Gil-STREET. THE BURGLARY AT MR. BuildHAßT's.—After the otOpe business was over Mr. RoE desired . the ciCrspj wyj)!tooti rc.rnantied on suspicion of being engaged in the burglary at Mr. Burghart's upon the 15th of last month to be brought up for final exa mination. The prisoners, who were seven in number, were brought up singly, and the two first who were placed at the bar were George Williams and Thomas Brockley, when the evidence of the officers went to prove them to be idle and disorderly characters, and unable to give a good account of themselves. They were seen in Piccadilly on the morning of the robbery. Mr. ROE committed them as rogues and vagabonds to the House of Correction for two months to hard labour. The prisoners' solicitors intantly gave notice of appeal. John Kilpatrict. was the next prisoner placed at the bar, when it appeared from the evidence of Mr. Fairburn, bookbinder, of Duke-street, and Ballard, Clement, and Schofield, that the prisioner had lived with Mr. Fairburn for a period of seven months, and during that time several valuable prints were missing. On the prisoner being apprehended the officers dis covered, on searching his lodgings, the prints of the Florence Gallery, " The Chastity of Joseph," " The Penitent," and several landscapes, all of which were identified by Mr. Fairburn. Independent of these a coat was found, which Mr. Burghart de posed to as being his father's property, and worth 6l• The coat had been made for the Marquis of Londonderry, but had been returned by his Lordship. The prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Humphreys, declined saying any thing to the charge, upon which he was committed for stealing the prints, and also for receiving the coat, knowing it to be stolen. William Kilpatrick, who was in the employ of Mr. Burghart, and on whom considerable suspicion rested, was ordered to find bail, himself in 1001., and two respectable housekeepers in .50/. each, and to give twenty-four hours' notice of bail, to answer any indictment at the sessions. Samuel Harwood, the hackney coachman, who was supposed to be engaged in carrying off the pro perty from Messrs. Burghart's, was ordered to find bail. The defendant's master instantly offered him self, when he was accepted. John Vandevalde and J. Nunn,two other persons who have undergone repeated examinations, were brought up and discharged. Thus ends this extraordinary burglary for the present, Mr. Burghart not being able to swear po sitively as to the identity of any of them being those persons whom he saw on the morning of the burglary. One of the above-named prisoners, we understand, fills the office of secretary to the society of burglars which infest the metropolis, and so extensive are the ramifications which this body possesses that it is spossible for the police to overturn it. Their in fluence is nearly equal ; and so certain are they of succeeding in their plans, that, previous to a large bank or coach robbery or burglary being committed, they are enabled to go to some of the first monied men in the city, and raise any sum they may be in want of to enable them to carry their plans into effect. In many of the bank robberies they have had as much as 600/. or 7001. advanced to them, thereby possessing the power of buying over atiy needy person of any establishment whose cupidity is paramount to his duty to his employers, and which accounts for the ready way the property is disposed of. Clothes, and other articles of a more substantial description, are not sent, as in general supposed, to pawnbrokers, but to houses of respecta bility, from whence they are consigned to respectable merchants on the Continent, and thus have the ap pearance of being sent through the usual routine of commerce. Great credit is due to Plank, Clements, Ballard, Schofield, and Avis, who have been unremitting in their exertions to apprehend the burglars and bring them to justice. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a young man named Robert William Bartlett, whose starved and haggard appearance, together with his tattered dress, bespoke the utmost distress, was brought before Mr. HONG, having been rescued from suffocation while asle6p on the side of a limekiln on Thursday night. The Night Constable of Camberwell, on the pre ceding night, walked over to a limekiln in that neigh bourhood, in order to see that no accident happened, aware that three individuals had lost their lives by suffocation at the same place, all of whom were driven to seek shelter there from the weather. On the present occasion, on his arrival there, be found the unfortunate man above named lying close to the mouth of the kiln, and the wind having shifted shortly previous, the vapour arising from the burn ing bricks had such an effect on him that he was unable to escape the danger that threatened him, until the constable came up, who, seeing the dan gerous situation in which he was placed, dragged him away to some distance, when, on breathing the fresh air, he recovered in a short time from the stupefaction into which he was thrown. The con stable added, that on saving Bartlett's life, he went round the kiln, and, at some distance from the mouth of it, saw another miserable object, huddled up in a corner, with scarcely any covering on him. This latter unfortunate had taken refuge there with Bartlett, both of them having walked from Dover, whither they had gone to seek work ; and not hav ing the means of paying for a bed, they were re duced to the alternative of seeking a night's shelter in the place where they were found. This poor creature, whose name is Johnson, had fallen asleep close to the mouth of the kiln in the early part of the night, and Bartlett, his companion in distress, on awakening from a doze, found him missing from his side. The latter directly jumped up, and on looking into the kiln saw Johnson lying on the bricks, and his clothes on fire : he instantly dragged him out, but the poor fellow was so dreadfully burnt that he was incapable of moving; anOartlett, after having placed him away from danger, had the im prudence to stretch himself along the mouth of the kiln, as described by the constable. The constable added, that although Johnson was so much burnt as to be unable to crawl along the streets, yet, on presenting himself at the Borough Hospitals, the persons who have the management of both institu tions refused to admit so urgent a case in conse quence of his labouring under an infectious eruptive disease of the skin. The moment the Magistrate, Mr. HONE, was made acquainted with the cases of both the unfor tunate young men, he questioned Bartlett, who de dared that he and his companion had been without food the whole preceding day ; and being completely knocked up after travelling on foot from Dover, they went and laid down at the side of the kiln, The poor fellow said that he worked as a wine-cooper, but that his sight failing him he was obliged to re linquish that business, and the disease of his eyes getting gradually worse, he was rendered incapable of obtaining work, and he was compelled to roam in search of food, wherever he could obtain it. Sometimes he went for days together without yictuals, and had not slept in a bed for the laq six weeks, .h . avipg, during that period, no shel!er but that Which imps, outhouses, and lime -kilns affortled. Mr. IioNE having bestowed the greatest pains in the investigation of both the cases, ascertained that Bartlett had a claim on Marylebone, immediately wrote to the rarish-officers, describing the circum stances under' which the unfortunate man was found, and 'entreating them to extend their assistance in re- 7 lieving an' object of such diitress; the Magistrate at the same tune presentM him with a few shillings to procure him food . and a bed for the night, in the . e - iepi. of his 11(?t seeing' the parish-officers that day. With f6peet to the - case' of 4ohnson, which was a very dePlorable one; the nigisfrat oti'lyaring that they refused to take him as a patient at either Guy'S or St, Thomas's hospitals, expressed much surprise, observing, that he thought the founders never contemplated that a case of that description, where a man was burnt in a shocking manner, should be rejected as an in-door patient because he laboured rimier cii ii6frGtigti PFPFtiIT , 04.!M.7(3.
