HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday Mr. John Cunybearc, landlord of the Union Arms public-house, Union -court, Holborn, was summoned before Messrs. BENNETT and LAING, on the charge of per mitting drunkenness and other disorderly conduct in his house. Mr. Penny, inspector of police in the G division, at a quarter to one o'clock on Sunday night last, saw, in front of the defendant's bar, eighteen persons, who were drunk and very disorderly. There were also several persons in the parlour, bnt they were perfectly sober. Sergeant Barton, 1 G, gave similar testimony. • The defendant protested that there was not one drunken man or woman on his premises when the police entered,and he produced two witnesses who supported his assertion. This being the whole evidence pro and con, Mr. LAING asked Mr. Bennett what he intended to do, observing, " Here are two officers, who we know to be respectable men, swearing one way, and two other witnesses strangers to us, swearing to the contrary. The constables, in my opinion, arc to be credited." Mr. I3ENNETT—I shall dismiss the information. Mr. LAING—But I do not ; therefore there can be no judgment. Mr. BENNETT—That is only playing upon words. Mr. LAlNG—lndeed it is not ; I say there is no judg m an d the case to my satisfaction is made out. Mr. BENNETT—And the case to my satisfaction has been answered. The Clerk—Who is to pay the costs ? Mr. BENNETT—I sh a ll m a k e no order. In several similar cases the same difference of opinion has existed, and it has occasioned much interest. It is ex pected that the Commissioners of Police will take imme diate steps to obtain judgments in them. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday, James Bardell, Joseph Bardell, and Martin Sanderson, were indicted for taking illegal possession of a turnpike-gate, and holding the same open while persons passed through who had not paid toll. In a second count they were charged with assaulting Thomas Shepherd, the collector of tolls at that gate. Several witnesses were exa mined, and various conflicting statements made. The Chairman then summed up, and the Jury returned a ver dict of Guilty of an assault against James Bardell, and at quitt ql Joseph Bardell and Sanderson. The Court sen tenced James Bardell to pay a fine of 1.5/. to the Queen. The money was immediately paid. John Per tins, indicted with Robert Filcher, surrendered to take his trial on a charge of keeping a common gaming house in the parish of St. James, Westminster. The pro secutor, Yusef, as usually happens in cases of this kind, did not appear when called upon. - The defendant was of course acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. On Tuesday morning, as. City policeman Darlingson, No. 11, was passing along near Bishopsgate Church, he saw three men, Smith, Connor, and Hatton, issue from the porch of the church at half-past nine o'clock, one of them carry ing a bag with apparently heavy contents. The man thus occupied was assistant to the grave-digger of that dense parish, and the officer, suspecting that they might have been visiting somebody who required no further ceremony of the kind, followed them. Smith, who carried the bag, turued down Artillery-lane, covered by the other two, wheeled into the premises of a plumber, and, throwing down his bag, pulled out a quantity of coffin lead and offered it for sale. The officer immediately seized the lead and secured the prisoners, and an investigation was instantly made at the church by Mr. Smart, the vestry-clerk, In spntor M‘Lean, and the churchwardens, and the following facts were detailed. Fletcher, the gravedigger, has been employed not only to dig the graves but to toll the evening bell and to clean out the porch, for the purpose of performing which offices he had been entrusted with the keys of the outer church door on Monday, which keys ought to have been in the custody of the sexton. The prisoners had not only availed themselves of those keys to visit the church, but had de scended into the deep vaults under the church, and, after tying encountered vast difficulties, succeeded in effecting a passage into another vault, and removing two leaden cof fins piecemeal from the shells in which the ashes of two parishioners—one of whom had died nearly fourteen years ago—were deposited. Upon close examination, Mr. Smart and the inspector observed that the clay had been recently disturbed, and in a distant part of the large vault they ob served a flap door, from which the staple had been drawn, and near which lay a spade. Upon raising up the flap they perceived a stone of immense size, which it is evident had been lately disturbed, and, with the assistance of other per sons (four being necessary to displace so great a weight), they pushed it aside. They then discovered an aperture, from which much earth appeared to have been taken, and on one side was a brick wall, through which had been broken a bole, large enough to admit a full-grown man. Through that hole they passed, and from thence descended into a vault, six feet deep, by a flight of steps. They were then amongst the leaden coffins, and they soon saw that two had been taken away. It appeared to them that the lead had been pplled off from time to time, and hidden in different parts of the adjacent earth, until opportunities occurred of removing it, without causing suspicion, from the hiding place. Mr. Smart then went to examine the lead found upon the prisoners. It had been folded and packed together with great strength and care, and the prisoners stated that they had found it in the ground of another church, but upon being unfolded it presented the same of an old inhabitant of Bishopscrate, who had lain in the vault which had been just visited upwards of fourteen years. The weight was Albs. Mr. Smart believed the gravedigger who employed the prisoners was employ ed in other churchyards. The Loan MAYOR—liave y ou not, in so large a pa rish as Bishopsgate, a gravedigger of your own ? Mr. Smart—No. The sexton employs a gravedigger, and the gravedigger, the moment he heard that these men were in custody, ran away. The Loin MiYoft—Fellows who could do as these have donc:would steal any thing. If they could get any thing for the bodies they would not hesitate about pulling them out. Mr. Smart—lt must haVe been a most desperate job. The lead had evidently been buried in the earth, but it had been freshly cut, so that they must hare taken the coffins away in many pieces. It was the most systematic of robberies. The policeman found a jemmy, or crow-bar near the spot. The LORD M A YOR—I trust that this abominable plan of burying in churches will give place to the practice of burying in cemeteries, where nothing of this kind can happen.—Remanded. BOW. STREET. We have already detailed the circumstances attending the stealing of an infant, the child of Mrs. Gilson, the wife of a baker living in Princes-street, Drury-lane, together with the facts connected with the discovery of the baby, and by which it was sought to bring home a charge of felony against a young woman, then confined in Tothill-fields, Bridewell, on a charge of being a disorderly person. We intimated also the person suspected would undergo an exa mination at this office so soon as the term of her imprison ment should have expired. Yesterday accordingly the woman, who stated her name to he Ann Frances Bennet, was brought up from Tothill fields prison in custody of Charles Otway, a sergeant, No. 7 of the A division, through whose instrumentality principally the charge was brought forward, and placed at the bar be fore Mr. TWYFORD and Mr. P. MALLARD, a county Ina gistrate. Mrs. Gilson stated that her husband was a baker. On the afternoon of that day fortnight she sent out her infant daughter Catherine, four and a half months old, in the care of Emily, her eldest daughter, who was nine years of age in the month of June last. She saw no more of either of her children until five o'clock, when Emily returned home, but without the infant. She had previously been informed by a constable that some accident had happened, but she did not until then know that the infant had been stolen. She never again saw the child until Wednesday when it was given to her by a woman named Twiner. The child when it was stolen wore a pink frock, a brown silk bonnet, and shoes. On her return, all the clothes which she had on, were gone, except a pair of shoes, and a flan nel petticoat ; but other clothes were substituted for them. Mr. TWYFORD asked whether any change had taken place in the infant's appearance ?—The witness said that its hair had been cut quite close. On its being stolen its hair was long, but it was now quite short, and the child was so disfigured that at first she hardly recognised it. Mr. TWYFORD asked whether the child was in good health ?—The witness said that it was not, and that on its being first brought home to her she hardly expected that it would have outlived the night. Emily Gilson, aged nine years, the daughter of the last witness, repeated the statement she had before made to Mr. Twyford. Her mother, she said, had desired her to take the infant out for an airing, and while she was walk ing in Prince's-street the prisoner, whom she knew, beckoned to her. She knew the prisoner only from their having con versed together in the streets a fortnight before, when she had then asked her how old the infant was? On her going to her the prisoner said she was waiting for her sister, who was going with her to buy some rings ; but after some time she said she would wait no longer, and they then walked together to the corner of Bow -street, when she said she had seen some rings which would answer her purpose. The witness ,however, saw no rings, and the pri soner pointed out some penny dolls, and asked her whe ther she would go in and purchase one ? Witness said she would not, because she had no money, and the prisoner then gave her sixpence, and told her to go and buy a doll and to bring back the change to her. Witness went into the shop, and after a very short absence she re turned to the street, but then found that •the prisoner had gone off, carrying away the infant which she had taken from her arms on going into the shop with her. Wit ness began to cry, and a policeman coming up, she informed him of what had taken place. She did not again see the prisoner until that morning, when she was conducted to a cell in the office, in which were about a dozen women and men. She was asked if she could point out the person who had stolen the child, and she directly pointed out the prisoner. She was dressed now as she had been at the time witness saw her last. Lucy Twiner was the wife of Henry Twiner, and lived at No: 11, Lewisham-street. She knew the prisoner, who had been in the habit of visiting her during the last six or eight months. She had taken the child out several ,times since the prisoner brought it home, and she conti nued doing so until Wednesday afternoon, when, in con sequence of some information which her husband had given, the infant was claimed as belonging to Mr. Gilson. Charles Otway, a sergea►.t of tie A division of police, had taken the prisoner into custody on that morning on the present charge. He first saw the child at the Two Chairmen public•house, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, when it wai delivered up to Mrs. Gilson by the last witness. lie subiNuently went to the prisoner's apartment, and pro c.eded to search it ; and he found in a coal cupboard con ceale•d behind some dirty kettles, the child's pink frock and white petticoat he produced. In a different part of the room he also found a hall-mourning dress, which the priso ner now had on. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. It would appear that, as soon as the loss of the child had been ascertained, the neighbours of Mr. Gilson, with a de gree of humanity which reflected upon them the highest credit, assembled, and opened a subscription for the purposo UNION-HALL. Yesterday Thomas Quinlan and Jantes Bunker, two pri vates belong►ng to a recruiting party of the Rifle Brigade, were brought before Mr. Trail, charged with committing a yiolent assault on a gentleman named Haytor, in the Westminster road. The defendant Quinlan was fined 405., and the other de fendant was held to bail. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a gentleman residing at Norwood, attended before Messrs. Grove and Codd, accompanied by Mr. Tyrrel, of Soho, for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of an officer of the establishment in recovering a horse which he stated was in the possession of a person in the district of the office, and which was taken from him. Attfield had instructions from the Magistrates to take the case in hand. HOP INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER, OCT. 4.—The supply brought to our mar ket on Saturday, and upon previous days, fully proves that the growth of this district is very superior, both in quantity and quality. It is still considered, as many planters have not yet finished picking, and large quantities still continue to arrive, that this year's growth must exceed any year since 1808 ; and the estimated duty has risen to 35,0001. There was a great variety in the samples offered, but they may be considered remarkably fine and good, and to have been got down in excellent condition, which caused prices to vary accordingly ; but there being rather .a scarcity of cry fine or what may be termed choice Hops on sale, and the inquiry being generally directed to samples of that de scription, they were taken off freely at an advance of 2s. per cwt. upon the prices of last Saturday. Others met a steady demand at the following prices :—New, 635. to 745. ; choice, 80s. to 85s. ; yearlings, 455. to 625. ; 1834's and 1835'5, 365. to 555. The number of pockets weighed was, new, '2,952, old, 103 ; total, 3,055 ; besides 895 during the week. FARNIIAM.—The picking, the bagging, and the weighing, being now quite complete at this hop-growing place, we can say with a certainty that there is a great falling off as corn pared with the last year, even much greater than was ex pected at the commencement of the picking ; most growers fall off a third of last 3 ear's growth, and many do not get half what they did the year before ; it is only in the adjoin ing parishes that they at all come up to the last year's growth. MAIDSTONE.—The produce of the grounds taken gene rally throughout this district is above one-third short of that of last year. Only two, in which picking is not yet finished, expect to gain as much as last year, and very many have not above half that crop. The condition, however, is con sidered in all cases as good as, and in many better than, that of last year. HOP DUTY.—The payment of the last moiety of the Hop duty charged in 1836, is postponed until the 15th of November. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday last, a marriage of rather a ludicrous kind took place here, between Mr. William Carrick, Denny, late of the Excise, and Miss Jean Rae, sister of Mr. Rae, of the Excise, Dolls. The bridegroom is an old veteran, bordering on four score and ten, but bale and hearty, and to all appearance bidding fair to enjoy the honymoon with as much glee as a stripling of eighteen. The bride is a hearty buxom lass, from the village of Johnshaven, near Montrose, and although winding; up her sixty-seventh year, is still fresh and vigorous. One singular circumstance connected with this affair is that this fond and amorous couple have not so much as seen each other for the last twenty-seven years ; but the " faire ladye" having been in this quarter, paid an accidental visit to her old friend, when, strange to tell, the latent embers that had so long slumbered were mutually fanned into a flame, and in a few days the above auspicious event was the result! Immediately after the mystic knot was tied, the youthful pair, accompanied by their friends, drove off in high spirits. Stirling Obsert er GRAND REVIEW AT WOOLWICH YESTERDAY. —Preparations have been making for some time past in con sequence of a notice having been sent that the Russian Am bassador would visit the military works, and review the troops. His Excellency, however, did not arrive with his large party as expected ; but as the Secretary to the Turkish Embassy was present, three troops of Horse Artillery, com manded by Col. Cator, and three brigades of the field bat teries, under the command of Lieut.-ColoOel Cleveland, were drawn out on Woolwich Common, and, after a display of mortar and howitzer practice at 500 yards distance from a flag. Major-General Sir Joseph M‘Lean, with a numerous and brilliant Staff, took their station at the camp colour, when a detail of evolutions and manceuvres were exe cuted with that celerity and precision which has obtained for these troops so high a reputation throughout Europe by the report of the numerous and distinguished foreigners who }„ ive witnessed their proficiency and discipline. Three Turkish officers, who have been here a considerable time, undergoing us artillerists initiation in our system of tactics, under the superintendence of Lieut.-Col. Dundas, R.A., were on duty in the field batteries with the British officers. When this grand military spectacle had terminated, Gene ral Sir Joseph M‘Leau advanced, accompanied by the Se cretary, and complimented the respective Commanding Officers upon the high state of efficiency of their several corps.

" Queen Elizabeth dying March 24, 1602, was succeeded by James the 6th, King of Scotland, as next heir to the Crown, and of the Queen's nomination. Accordingly no sooner was the new King come up to London to take possession of the Crown, but an humble petition of the Ministers of the Church of England, as they styled them selves, was presented to his Majesty, desiring reformation of certain ceremonies and abuses of the Church. In the preamble to the petition, they told his Majesty that they, to the number of more than 1,000 of his Majesty's sub jects and ministers, all groaning as under a common bur den of rites and ceremonies, did with joint consent humble themselves at his Majesty's feet to be eased and relieved in this behalf, and that their humble suit to his Majesty was, that of the offences following, some might be removed, some amended, and some qualified. These offences were, Ist, in the Church Service ; 2nd, Church Ministers ; :3rd, Church Livings and Maintenance ; 4th, Church Disci pline : in all which they complained of many abuses and corruptions.' " The King who was resolved to follow the example of other Christian Princes, who, in the commencement of their reigns, usually took the first course for the establishing of the Church both for doctrine and polity, issued out his proclamations, whereby he appointed several Bishops and Deans, together with the Principals of those who had pre sented this petition to the King, to attend on him at his palace of Hampton-court, on January 12,1603, there to confer with his Majesty'about these abuses and corruptions of which he had received such complaints. " On the second day of this conference, Dr. Reynolds, who was the foreman and speaker of the Puritans, moved his Majesty that there might be a new translation of the Bible, because, as he said, those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry VIII. and Edward the VI., were cor rupt, and not answerable to the truth of the original."— Page 310. - A Complete History of the several Translations of the Holy Bible and Testament, into English, both in MS. and in Print, and of the most remarkable editions of them since the invention of printing, by John Lewis, A.M., Chaplain to the Right Hon.

" He, who by a diligent and faithful examination of the original records, dismisses from the system one article which contradicts the apprehension, the experience, or the rea soning of mankind, does more towards recommending the belief, and with the belief, the influence of Christianity to the understandings and consciences of serious inquirers, and through them to universal reception and authority, than can be effected by a thousand contenders for creeds and ordinances of human establishment."—Dedicated to Dr. Law.

" The English authorised version, executed by a society of Divines, for the use of Christians, is certainly a work of considerable merit ; and it must be owned that the trans lators were by no means unequal to their task. " Still many errors inadvertently crept in ; and many others were permitted to find room in their translation. As in iminy parts it is altogether at variance with the Maso retie readings, which so often determine the true sense of the text, the spirit of the Hebrew language is frequently lost sight of ; and though these censures more particularly apply to the poetic books, they also in some considerable degree - extend to the prosaic parts of the translation.

L. : Alor- To the Right Honourable Lord John Russell, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. Your Lordship, In a paragraph you penned, having promulgated an ar dent hope that our country should be " the halc : ,on ground On which holy peace be found," prompts us to become your auxiliaries, to give it effect and perpetuity. If, on the slight premises set forth, one Sovereign should deem it expedient, for a people's welfare, here and here after, to act to that extent, it may now be maintained, without fear of contradiction, that a similar proceeding is imperative. In this our day, " our translation" is not im pu;ned (tzling the various denominations from Sir Robert eeel's eulogy of his friends) by " Unitarians," " Indepen ('.ents," the " Wesleyan Methodists," or " the Roman Catholics"—to which might be added the " Presbyterian sour, Or sharp Free-thinker, all things in an hour;" • Either who sink the honour of God amidst the cffal of their hue•and-cry of " Church Service," " Church Minis ters," " Church Maintenance," " Church Rates," &c., or by those " whose object is no longer confinAd to insidious and disguised attacks on the Church of Christ, hut has manifested itself in that open and determined hostility to it which, in the paroxysms of their enthusiasm, they have promised themselves will terminate in its total destruction. * * I feel myself justified is guar ding against what appears to me to be the conse quences, naturally, and evidently resulting from that heterogeneous association of religious professors, for the advancement of an object of at least questionable ex pediency, in the Bible being regarded as the general test book of authority for all opinions, as containing, if we may so say, a sort of raw material, which every professor, in the liberal spirit of the day, is left to work up and fashion to his own peculiar taste ; as if by a strange transposition of the sacred language, diversity of opinion, not "unity ef spirit," was to become "Me band of peace"(a) " Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purposes of a life beyond life. It is true no age can restore a life, whereof, perhaps there is no great loss ; and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary therefore what perse cution we raise against the labours of men stored up in books, since we see a kind of homicide may be thus com mitted—sometimes a martyrdom—and if it extend to the whale impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execu tion ends not in the slaying of elemental life, but strikes at the c thereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; slays an immortality rather than a life. (b) The " translation" is impugned by an erudite linguist, who, " Diving- out of sight, Has brought many a precious pearl of truth to light."

The priest and prince were contemporaneous. The priest well knew that " the fiat of the Almighty" had gone forth, that "the knowledge of Him should cover the earth as the waters the sea ;" and yet impiously promulgated his nipping blast ; and without the recording angel as it wrote it, down dropt a tear upon the deed, in his verbiage upon poor Protestants' opacity—" in hell he lifts his eyes." The prince magnanimously gave " his countenance" and his purse—he " hailed the intellectual sun before its beams had reached the horizon of common minds ;" neither on his head, heart, or hands lay the damning sin of " a kind of massacre, where in the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; slays an immortality rather than a life." The aspirations of her people are—that the dawning (jubilee) and close of the reign of our youthful Queen may be like the illustrious Elizabeth, and that she may be the polar-star and beacon by which the " pride of our isles" may glide safely amidst the shoals and quicksands of Government. " Not only do we owe to the happy Reformation all the domestic advantages by which we are distinguished above other States, but it is also to the Reformation we are in debted for our present political consequence and territorial grandeur." * * x " Then sprung up the mighty Elizabeth, and mingling her existence as a Sovereign with the preservation of the true faith, lashing herself to the mainmast of Reformation ; on that vessel she securely rode the storm, and established the independence of her kingdom." There -were several reviews on the new Translators' pro duction of the Pentateuch. Here again the munificence of our Sovereign's truly august uncle was so conspicuous —his gracious command for 50 copies ! and so stifled all further opposition, that the subsequent parts published in 1825, 1831, 1834, and 1835—t0 these there has been that tacit concurrence, that we arc justified in saying " the silence of the Clergy has given consent." Into your hands we commit the " talents," Matt. xxr. o o, conjointly with his Grace the Duke of Wellington (who has oft, and with bosom beating for his country, is still ready) " To plant his firm foot on the line that justice draws, And prevail or perish in her cause ;" and to the Most Noble the Marquis Camden—no " cut purse of our empire."
