VICTUALLING OFFICE, Au°. 25, 1829. THE Commissioners ;for Victualling His Majeety's Navy, &c. do hereby give notice, that on TxuasnAr, the 17th September next, they will be ready to reeeive Tenders in writing (sealed up), and treat for the following Articles, to be delivered into the Victual ling Stores at Deptford, viz. : we subscribe our credence to any such imputa tions upon their conduct. We assent to the proposition, that they were governed by the most unexceptionable principles. And, in fact, in another case, we should rejoice to witness the generic distinctions of Catholic and Protestant, which have so long been the bane of the country, merged in the general mass, and to see people choosing their party, not by the colour of their creed, as heretofore, but from views of political principle or :expediency alone. As far as the lights with which we are favoured at present ex tend, we are inclined to think that these Catholic Magistrates erred with the majority, but in discussing this question, it is nat as Cam tholics, but as Magistrates we shall treat them. We tell them, as members of the majority, that the best way of vindicating their conduct—and we say the same to the entire majority—is iv assemble a county meeting, and make the public in general acquainted with the grounds of their proceedings on Monday last. We tell them that the public will not be satisfied with a mere Star chamber view of the matter in which the public are themselves so deeply interested. How stands the fact ? Seventy or eighty gentlemen as semble in a private room, assisted by a few Po lice Magistrates, and, in the presence of two or three Generals, declare that the county is in such a state of disturbance, and that they arc themselves in so violent a state of alarm, that Article.

THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the GOVERNOR and COMPANY of the BANK of ENGLAND give notice that a GENERAL COURT will be held at the BANK, on THURSDAY next, the 17th inst., at Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon, to consider of a DIVIDEND; which will also be one of the Quarterly General Courts appointed by the Charter. JOHN KNIGHT, Secretary. EAST INDIA HOUSE, AUG. 5, 1829. she would consent to his retouching the portrait, but it must be done at her residence, as she had a strong objection to suffering it to be taken out of her sight. The artist said it could be done much more conveniently at his own house, and expressed so much anxiety to be allowed to take the portrait with him, that the lady suspected something wrong, espe cially as she knew there was another lady who would not object to give 5001. for the portrait, and who, she had reason to believe, had been endeavouring to devise means to get it into her possession. At a subsequent visit, however, the artist pressed so hard, and pledged himself so strongly to return the por trait in less than half an hour, that the lady con sented, and the artist took it away. That day and the two following ones elapsed, and the portrait was not forthcoming; and applicant, at the lady's request, waited upon the artist, whb at once acknowledged that he had parted with the possession of it. The applicant rather warmly insisted upon know ing where it was, and the artist at length said that that a lady and gentleman had called upon him soon after he took the portrait home,. and the lady, ad miring it very much, requested to be allowed to take it with her for a short time. He refused; but she and her eompanion,..in a playfiii way, said— " Oh, we must take it; you shall have it again very soon ;" and actually took it away, and it was not now to be had. le bourse and run away. Arretez cette jeune fille la,' I cry. Un des gens d'armes lay hold of her. She was surrounded with great many libertins—ca naille. I see her give my pocket-book to one. I seize him. Eh, eh I villain,' je cris, ' donnez moi ma bourse.' I then take it vay, and bring it here en triomphe." This statement was corroborated by the constable Halls, who was pAssing by at the time, and who, fortunately for Monsieur Pierre Castrine, spoke French almost as fluently as himself, having been a quartermaster in the 7th Hussars during the time that regiment was with the allied army in Paris. Mr. HONE, who examined Castrini in his native tongue, asked if he intended to prosecute ? Com plainant—Eh, oui; je la punirai if posseeble. Mais combie4t en payerai je ? what shall I pay ? because sooner 'than pay un sous she may go au diable for me. Otv4eing told he would have nothing to pay he was s j)ound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was coutmitted. Huddersfield—F.

GUILDHALL. A middle-aged gentleman, named Easterly, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE yesterday, charged with assaulting James Gibbons, a watch man, of St. Andrew's, Holborn, about half-past one o'clock that morning, opposite St. Andrew's church. The complainant saw the defendant in hot dis cussion with a watchman on the other side of the street, the watchman having ordered him and a loose girl to " move on," and the defendant insist ing that they would stand there as long as they pleased. The watchman sprang his rattle, and wit ness as soon as he had crossed received a violent blow from defendant, which set his mouth bleeding, and he also received sundry blows on the head and body from defendant's umbrella. Having secured him, he was as violent in the watch-house as ever, threatening to wring the nose of the constable of the night, to let him know the law, to report him to Mr. Peel, and challenging him to fight a duel.— (A laugh.) The solicitor asked if the whole of this charge had not been disposed of at the watch-house, and if the defendant was not detained on some subsequent ground ?—The watchman said, the striking of him was all he had to complain of. The solicitor said this was one of those infamous attempts on the part of the watchmen to obtain money, for which their body were notorious. Sir PETER asked if defendant was sober ?—Mer chant, the night constable, inferred from his conduct that lie was not perfectly sober. He had been for. given all his misconduct, and allowed to leave the watch-house, but he stopped at the door to abuse him (the officer of the night), and among other ag gravating things, said lie was an ass—(a laugh),— and he therefore brought him in again and locked him up. Sir PETER asked the defendant for his account of thebusiness ?—Defendant said, that as he was passing, the young woman appealed to him for a penny, and her request being so humble he stopped to inquire into her story, which was deplorable indeed. She had been out of place only four months, and he had taken her address, intending to call on her former mistress, and try to induce her to receive her again, and he was just parting with her when the watch man ordered them to go on. He said, "I am giv ing this woman some advice, allow me to finish, and then I shall walk on." Sir PETER asked him if he was accustomed to give advice to strange young women in the streets at such an hour ?—Defendant hoped Sir Peter did not consider, that to give good advice at any hour would be bad. Sir PETER LAURIE said, defendant had committed two mistakes—the first being, that he had stopped to listen to a long story from a strumpet, and had taken her address in his pocket-book. The second mistake was, that when the watchman had given up his charge, and the defendant got out of the watch house again, he did not quietly walk away as he might have done ; and from these mistakes he in ferred the defendant must have been spending the night convivially. He was sure defendant would not now stop to give " wholesome advice" to a woman of that cast. If there had been any design to obtain money from him, he would have been de tained, and not forgiven, when first taken to the watch-house; but he was so delighted with his sup posed victory, that he renewed the attack, offending the constable's dignity, and, indeed, he (Sir Peter) did not hold that he was bound to submit to be re viled. He should now discharge defendant. He did not know what use he would make of the ad dress in his pocket-book—( A laugh),—but he would strongly recommend him to avoid stopping in the street at one o'clock in the morning to do such works of charity again.—Defendant was then discharged. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a respectable-looking man waited upon Mr. HALLS, the sitting Magistrate, and drew his at tention to a statement in the Papers of last Friday, detailing, on the authority of Mr. Moore, the hatter, of Old Bond-street, an act of combination and out rage committed by some workmen in the employ ment of that gentleman, at Oldlands-common, Glou cestershire. The applicant stated, that the account of the transaction which Mr. Moore had given was greatly exaggerated, and that he (Mr. Moore) had been deceived by a person named Barsley, who ap peared at Bow-street along with him, and who stated that be himself had been obliged to fly the country in consequence of the ill-treatment which he had met with from the rioters. The applicant stated that his name was Frankharn, and related various facts in confirmation of his declaration that the case had been exaggerated. _ A gentleman whose name did not appear, accom panied by an elegantly-dressed woman of great per sonal beauty, apparently about thirty years of age, addressed Mr. HALLS, and said that he had to apply to his Worship for a warrant against an artist, under very cutious circumstances. The applicant stated that the artist, some time ago, painted the portrait of a gentleman of rank in the army, between whom and the lady now present an attachment of the strongest kind existed. The portrait was highly finished and considered a very able production. It was presented by the original to the lady immediately previous to his departure on foreign service—and it need scarcely be stated how highly she prized the precious gift. The artist, while painting the portrait was introduced to the lady, and afterwards permitted to visit at her house occa sionally, and was employed by several of her friends. He expressed himself grateful for the patronage, and requested a short time ago that she would do him the honour to sit to him, and allow him to send her portrait to the exhibition in May next, she keeping it in the interim, and, of course, it was to be her property afterwards. He begged that she would accept of the production as the humble offering of his gratitude for her kindness. The lady refused for some time but at length consented; a few days ago the artist called to attend upon her, and the portrait of the gentle man, which was hanging in the room, attracted his notice. He said that, highly as it had been praised, there was one or two parts of it to which he should like to give a few finishing touches. The, lady said Mr. HALLS—Have you ascertained where it was taken to ? Applicant—Oh, yes, Sir, we know very well where it was gone the moment the artist told this story. Mr. HALLS—And can't you get it back ? Ap plicant—No, Sir, we know it would be useless to apply. The lady who now has the portrait will keep it if she can, at all hazards. Mr. HALLS—This is a novel application, certainly. The lady voluntarily parted with the portrait, and must recover it by an action of trover. The applicant then withdrew with the lady, who seemed much chagrined at the result of the appli cation. WORSHIP-STREET. WHOLESALE BlGAMY.—Yesterday Wnt.lion was brought up by Meadows the beadle of Shore ditch parish, charged with marrying Sarah Wilkin son, his first wife being then and still living. Sarah Wilkinson, an interesting-looking young woman, deposed that she married the prisoner at Islington church about four years ago, and had two children by him. She subsequently discovered that his first wife was still living. He had deserted her for many months, and she had lately discovered that he had married a third wife. She was eighteen years of age when she married the prisoner. Mr. BROUGHTON—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner—l have got two of them, I own ; but I have not got any more. Mr. BROUGHTON—WeII, two of them is sufficient to send you to Newgate ; but, to give time to find out the third, I shall remand you until Monday next. IVm. Brown, a journeyman weaver, was charged with embezzling upwards of 120 yards of Bros de Naples silk, the property of his employers, Messrs. Stone and Brooks. The worth of the silk was stated to be 201., and the prisoner had also received 30s. in cash. The prisoner was remanded for a week. LAMBETH-STREET. Mrs. Judith Phillips was charged by Mrs. Maria Ballantyne with an assault. The parties are of the Jewish persuasion, and nearly related. A Mr. Moses stepped forward, and undertook to state the case. I am, your Vership, a neuter man, and can say more about it than nobody. It fort nitely happens that my back door is close agin Mrs. Phillips' front premises. Hearing a tremengious scrummaging, I run out and saw an extraordinary conquest of people assembled about Mr. Phillips's yard, and the two ladies kicking up an astonishing row. So I gets Mrs. Ballantyne to come in at my back door—but I saw no blow struck. Mr. WALKER thought the best way to settle the disputes of the female belligerents was to order their husbands to come forward, and enter into re cognizances for their wives to keep the peace to wards each other. A fellow, named Pearse, who gets his living 'by selling oysters about the streets, was placed, reeling drunk, against the bar, charged by a woman with whom he lived with a series of brutal assaults. The fellow staggered forward, his features exhi biting one bruised mass from the effects of a d run k en squabble that morning, and his head covered with cuts, and shaven in a dozen different places. He thrust out his hand to the woman, and said, " Vy, I own I vas wex'd, and giv'd Bet a wolloping ; for I'd only yarnt six and sixpence that 'ere day, which is werry little for a poor man. But I'll give her my hand afore your Vorship, and part from her as a man, and then me and my Bet 'll go and have a dram of gin together." The female, however, re fused the proffered reconciliation, and The MAGISTRATE directed him to be held in his own recognizances to keep the peace. He was locked up, not having money to pay the usual fees; but the key was no sooner turned on him than the woman began to be loud in her lamenta tions for his misfortunes, and actually male applica tion for his liberation, upon which, when effected, they went off together apparently reconciled. UNION.HALL. ....._ ....... COACH FARES.—Yesterday — a gentleman was summoned by the driver of a cabriolet for not paying the full fare. " Please your vurship," said the driver, who was a mere youth, " I tuk this ere gemman up in my copperlid jist opporsite the Eliza the-a-tre, in the Straund. Vell, yen the gemman gits in, he says, Take me the nighest vay to the Horns, at Ken nington.' I driv the gemman there like vinking— in less than no time. It was arter twelve o'clock at night, and monstrous dark, so I asked the gemman three bob. The gemman said he vouldn't stand no more nor eighteen-pence. ' Blow me dicky,' says I 6 if that aint a good an.' So, being a young un, and not liking to be done, your vurship, I jist goes to the coach-stand to ask the advice of some of the old 'uns„ They told me the fare was two bob, and vourpence back carriage, seeing as how, your vur ship, I driv the gemman off of the stones. The gemman said he vouldn't come no more nor two bob, so by the adwice of Tom Arrison, I had the gem man up for the odd browns, for vourpence vill buy two half-quarterns, your vurship, on a cold night." The defendant hereupon pulled out a small pocket fare book, by which he said he had been guided; wherein it was set forth the present charge, by right, was only Is. 4d., without mentioning back carriage. On referring to the hackney-coach office rates, published by Mr. Guelph, the lad was found to be correct in his demand of 25., and 4d. back carriage, upon which the gentleman was ordered to pay him the difference, and an additional 2s. Gd. for his loss of time. Pierre Castrini, who described himself to be a French egg-merchant, appeared to prefer a com plaint against Miss Margaret Solomons, for robbing him of his pocket-book, containing 14s. and a bill of exchange for 55/. _ _ " Meseurs," said the complainant, " I vas take promenade to see your bridge in Londres, quand cette mademoiselle la come close to me. ' How you do,' she say. Bien :et vous je reponds. tell her, Me ver yell.' She say, •If you have no vife, I will be your pretty petite vife.' Tres bien ; t all right, ma t h ere — allons.

The main of a public meeting is not always to be found in the Resolutions passed, or in the Petition or Memorial to which the parties may ultimately agree. These are sometimes, most frequently indeed, the result of compromise. But with respect to the late meeting of the Tipperary Magistrates at Thurles, we should be disposed to infer from the number present, and the great majority by which the Resolutions were carried, that the opinions put forth in the Resolutions, and the remedies indicated, had received the support of the gentry of the county. We have been informed, however, that this is not the case—that a very strong difference of opinion exists—not only as to the facts assumed in the Resolutions, but in the course of proceeding re commended by the assembled Magistrates. We should hope that this is the case. At the same time we cannot understand, we confess, why Ma gistrates who held an opinion contrary to that expressed and acted upon at Thurles, ab sented themselves from the meeting. We are not exactly aware of the number of Ma gistrates in that county. But we should suppose that not more than one-third were present on Monday last—a body quite numerous enough, we admit, to represent the opinion of the Ma gistrates of Tipperary. And, in point of fact, we must regard the Resoluti ons o f th e Th ur l es meeting as the Resolutions of the whole body of the Nobility and Gentry of the county, until the contrary be shown. We have indicated the mode in which, should there be, as is asserted, a real difference of opinion, such difference may be constitutionally expressed, namely, by calling a county meeting—an open one—to which the public and the reporters may have free access. We have received three or four letters on this subject from Magistrates. These letters, how ever, we shall not insert, because we are not at liberty to use names. But upon such Magi strates as dissent from the Resolutions, on such Gentlemen, not in the Commission, who regard the statements in these Resolutions as at variance with the real condition of the country, we call to affix their signatures to a Requisition to the High Sheriff for a county meeting. If, as we are told, the county Tipperary contains so many dis sentients to the Resolutions, and of high re spectability too, we have too good an opinion of the High Sheriff to suppose that this officer would refuse his assent. But if he declined, it would be in the option of any of the dissentient Magistrates to procure such a Meeting, or of any respectable portion of the people of Tip perary. They have only to address a requisition to some Justice of the Peace favourable to their views, and we pointed out a man of high station and considerable property in the county (Mr. Otway Cave), who, no doubt, would preside at such a meeting with pleasure ; for, independently of his public sentiments, Mr. Otway Cave would feel, we think, a just personal pride in presiding at a meeting of a county, which, we understand, it is very likely he will have the honour to repre sent in the next Parliament. There never can be—and we render thanks giving to Heaven for it—a Catholic Meeting, as such, politically speaking, again in Ireland. The county of Tipperary, and every county and town in Ireland will hereafter meet as freeholders, without any religious distinction. The law knows of none—and though the traces of cen turies of exclusion cannot be worn out for some time, yet every day, despite of all the angry, but feeble machinations of faction, will reduce the mass of Irish society to a unity of character and disposition. This tendency was very re markably evinced at the meeting in question. There were present not one, as we had erro neously supposed, but several Catholic Magi strates at Thurles—the majority of whom, it would seem, coincided in the resolutions sanc tioned by the meeting. We assert, without the fear of contradiction, that these Magistrates would not have done so, had the Catholic Ques tion still remained to be disposed of, and were the Cath o li c A ssoc i a ti on still hi existence. Do we, however, arraign their say they acted under un worthy l "tives ? Do w e influences ? We neither assert, nor do we insinuate, nor should there can be no safety for their wives or families and none for their property and themselves, if Government do not disfranchise the whole county,, -ley taking—it ,frOip .11 ntiPr thd-F0te,419,0 of the Constitution, and delivering up man and woman in it, who shall rise before the sun, and who shall not retire to rest before be goes down, to the tender mercies of the afore said Magistrates, who are trembling in their shoes, and who, regarding the people as ene mies, are anxious of depriving them of arms. These seventy or eighty gentlemen desire the power of being enabled to visit, any time of the day or of the night, any cottage or homestead they choose—to take up the inmates, women as well as men, if there be arms found In the pre mises (as was the case in 1812 in this tottnty, when a woman was seized and incatt . o rated, which circumstance, it is well known, led to the murder of Mr. Baker)—to confine them in a prisoM or Bridewell—to have them tried at the Quarter Sessions, and transported without the intervention of a Jury. This is the power which the Magistrates of Tip perary desire—this is the power claimed for them by the Lord Llandaff, by the Lord Ormontl9, and by Mr. Prettie, one of the Representative,' of the county—this is the power which they seek, Catholic as well as Protestant, in thew capacity of landlords. For it is not, as the Mail, and as some foolish Tipperary Gentleman would have it, a question between Catholic and Protestant, but between Landlord and Tenant, hat is at the general issue in Tipperary. Had not the disastrous circumstance at Borris-o'kane occurred—a thing quite distinct in itself, as we shall always maintain, and quite unnecessary, as we have repeatedly demonstrated, the questio vexata would still exist between the occupiers of land and the owners, and would lead ultimately, as it has hitherto done, to the unhappy collisions which make up the almost entire history or Tipperary for the last seventy years. It is true that the proceedings at Borris-olane furnished the gentlemen of Tipperary with the pretence for calling upon Government to re-enact the Insurrection Bill, and we see with what pleased alacrity they availed themselves of the occasion. Seventy-five of them assembled at a week's no tice, and seventy of the number voted smack smooth for the Resolutions. Had not the affair of Borris-o'kane occurred, the Magistrates would be completely without a pretext for their appeal to the Government for the Insurrection Act. LARGE DUTCH STEAM BOAT. HAGUE, SEPT. 10.—The curiosity of the inhabi tants of this and the other towns in the vicinity of the river Maas, has been excited by the departure from that river, on Monday last, of the Ilfonstee steam-boat, which will, no doubt soon make her ap pearance in some of your English harbours. This vessel was launched four years ago, and from her immense length, about 250 feet, she hung when going off the slips, and was some days before she was fairly launched, which gave occasion to our witty neighbours, the French, to say, that the Dutch had surpassed all other nations in the size of their steam boats, having built one so long that it was several days running off the stocks. Three or four days in launching have been follow e d b y f our years in fitting I. About 100,0001. has been spent upon her, and before attempting the object she was built for, the opening of a speedy communication with Batavia, she is to make a trial of her powers o n th e coast of England, and will certainly surprize your naval architects, by the exhibition of a vessel with four masts, and a breadth of beam only one-eighth of her length, which latter configuration is no doubt calculated to disturb your English notions of Dutch proportions. HAGUE, SEPT. 10.—A general census of the po pulation of the kingdom having been ordered by a re solution of 29th Sept., 1828, directions have now been issued to commence the operations on the 16th Nov., and to close them by the 31st December, this year. —lt is said that his Excellency the Minister of the Marine and Colonies has received a reyal resolution, by which he is permitted, on his urgent solicitation, to retire on the Ist of October next, retaining the title of Minister of State, and with his Majesty's thanks, for his long and faithful services to his coun try. If on the Ist of October no resolution shall have been taken respecting the organization of the departments of the Marine and Colonies, business is to be done as usual in the absence of the Ministers. —The office of Mexican Charge d'Affaires and Consul-General will be performed by Senhor Maximo Garro till the arrival of Governor Mecado, the new Charge d'Affaires of 'Mexico. A clergyman asked a female parishioner" why s he and her husband were always quarrelling?" "It is," said she, " because there is one point in which we agree too well." " Pray, what is that point ?" said the asto nished Parson. "He wishes to be master, and so do I." We are happy to state that the iron trade of Scotland is not nearly in such a depressed condition as that of England and Wales. In Scotland, at the present time, there are eight iron-works in full operation, with from two to four blast furnaces each, and comparatively little stock on hand. Five years ago, during the specula tion mania, the price of No. 1, pig-iron, was 181. per ton; but at present the same quantity is freely selling, for the American and Continental markets, at 51. ss. The blast furnaces, owing to the state of the atmosphere, have, with in the last two weeks, produced iron of the best descrip tion. It is not a little cheering that the consumption of iron by the extensive foundries in this vicinity has within these few weeks, considerably increased.-- Glasgow Chron. A new light and cheap drab-coloured hat, long used in Ireland, has been introduced this summer into London, and has got much into vogue, composed en tirely of lamb and rabbet wool, witbout any beaver. Some of the beaver hatters, fearful, perhaps, of its suc cess injuring their trade, have hit upon the expedient of giving away a number of the new-fashioned hats among coal-heavers, cads, beggars, &c. to shame genteel people out of wearing them. Among others, the well known black in Tottenham-court-road nuw sports one of them; white toppers.
