SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Lord Worsley has rendered a most essential service to the cause of Reform by publishing, in the Stam ford Mercury of August 11, an address to the elec tors of the parts of Lindsey, with a letter subjoined from Mr. Tuck, of Cape Nursery, Eaton-square. On good authority his Lordship had stated on the hustings at Lincoln, on the 28th of July, that Mr. Christopher, candidate for South Lincolnshire, had withdrawn his custom from a gardener and seedsman in London for having refused to vote for Sir Francis Burdett. This was, it seems, denied by Mr. Christopher on the hus tings, though, from the low tone of voice of Mr. Chris topher, Lord Worsley did not hear any part of his speech, and only learnt that such a contradiction had been made, from the Lincoln Gazette. The following is the shape in which it appears in the Lincoln Ga zette :—" Before I fully enter into any explanation of my political principles, I shall take the liberty of tell ing the Noble Lord I cannot be responsible, either for what he has heard respecting Mr. Barry, or what he states a Westminster tradesman has heard from my servants. I totally and distinctly deny the charge he has brought against me." Lord Worsley having writ ten to the tradesman, received the following answer, to which too much publicity cannot be given : " TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD WORSLEY. " Cape Nursery, Eaton-square, Aug. 1, 1837. " My Lord—ln consequence of the request of your let. ter, I beg to lay before you a brief but correct statement of the undermentioned gentlemen's behaviour to me re specting my voting for Mr. Leader, during the contest be tween that gentleman and Sir Francis Burdett, for West minster. The first gentleman who called on me to solicit my vote for Sir Francis was Mr. Terry, of 80, Eaton square ; I told him I had promised it to ° Mr. Leader ; he said if I voted for such a man as Mr. Leader I should have my house pulled about my ears in a short time ; he went home and gave directions to his servants to have nothing further of Tuck, as he was a Radical. My books will prove that no goods have been supplied to him after the date of May 6, 1837. The next gentleman who called upon me was Mr. H. B. Baring, of 13, Eaton-place ; he called two days previous to the election to solicit in favour of Sir F. Burdett. I told him, having promised my vote to the friends of Mr. Leader, I could not oblige him. He became greatly enraged, and said,' as an old customer he was entitled to and demanded my vote for Sir Francis Burdett, and that if I did not vote for him he would go instantly to Sir G. Murray and my best customers, and inform them I was a Radical,' intimating he would in jure me in my business to the greatest extent, which be did, by writing, and personal attendance on several of my old customers, who in consequence left dealing with me. He further told me that none but blackguards and persons in Tothill-fields, and the other low parts of Westminster, voted for Mr. Leader. There were witnesses in my shop that can bear testimony to the perfect truth of the whole of this. He instantly left dealing with me ; also a gentle man of the name of Christopher, of 97, Eaton-square, next withdrew his custom from me. I wrote to Lady Mary Christopher, his wife, to ascertain the cause, but received no reply ; I learned from his domestics my voting for Mr. Leader was the cause. Lady Shelly, 35, Belgrave-square, wrote at the bottom of my bill I was to be discharged ; from the servants I found the reason was my supporting the Liberal candidate. Sir Charles Bagot, 82, Eaton square, on the very day of election sent for his bill and with it a receipt, stating—' If I was at liberty to support Mr. Leader, he was also at liberty to trade with whom ha thought proper.' Mr. Lyon, 39, Bel grave-square, next withdrew his favours ; my servant cal led for a reason, when it was stated Mr. Lyon had been to Mr. Baring's, and coming home, directly gave orders to discontinue trading with Tuck. Sir H. Peyton, No. 19, Grosvenor-place, I have good grounds of knowing, left me on account of my supporting the Liberal candidate ; and several other persons which it is not important to name left solely on account of my voting for Mr. Leader, which as far as I can calculate makes a difference in amount of goods sold between twenty and thirty pounds per week in the London season. My Lord, these are the facts, without the least tint or colouring from myself ; as such I shall leave them in your Lordship's hands, to dispose of them agreeably to vour discretion. Being sorry for their occur rence, not only as regards my own private interest, but for the characters of those gentlemen with whom they may concern,—l am, my Lord, your truly obedient servant, " T. H. TUCK. " To the Right Hon. Lord Worsley." What an amount of oppression the elective franchise has entailed on a single tradesman ! How great, then, must ',lave been the amount of oppression inflicted on the whole of the Liberal tradesmen of Westminster ! Lord Worsiev observes, " I know of no method of put ting a stop to the system of intimidation now adopted so generally, except that of every man, when such a case comes to his knowledge, exposing the parties con cerned, in order, if possible, by the expression of public opinion, to check the practice in future." The publi cation of every case will no doubt do good ; hut how few are the individuals who can be expected to possess the courage requisite to come before the public. Most tradesmen in such a case would say, " Better put up with the loss already sustained, than run the risk of sustaining more by provoking more enmity." There is, in truth, no remedy for the evil but the Ballot. A Westminster tradesman assured us that every time he voted for Sir Francis Burdett, when the Man. Baronet was a Radical, and something more, subjected him to a loss of custom equivalent to 2,000/. A rich man can afford in such cases not only to keep a conscience (which Dr. Paley could not), hut to act on its suggestions. But can we blame poor men for thinking more of the consequences to their families than of their duty to the public ? It cannot be expected that tradesmen in general will have the fortitude to imitate Mr. Tuck ; hut if the ballot be not granted, we have no doubt that the different Reform tradesmen will adopt some such means as are now re sorted to by t h em to protect themselves against swindlers, and that the names of all individual:who, like Mr. H. B. Baring, of 13, Eaton-place ; Mr. Terry, of 80, Eaton-square ; Mr. Christopher, of 97, Eaton -square ; Sir C. Bagot, 82, E a t on - square ; Mr. Lyon, 39, Belgrave-square ; Sir H. Peyton, 19, Grosvenor-square, seek to punish tradesmen for the exercise of the franchise, will be circulated in some way or other, the consequences of which may be more serious than they are aware of. The English, so far from being a vindictive people, are a great deal too submissive ; but still there are limits to their endu rance. In many of the towns of Scotland it is under stood that the electors have put an end to canvassing ; and, if we are not misinformed, the tradesmen have fallen on means for punishing insolent aristccrats who so far forget themselves as to threaten tradesmen with the loss of custom if they do not vote against their conscience. We put it calmly to Tory gentlemen, whether it is good policy to pursue a course which must excite vindictive feelings in the sufferers, and may ultimately drive tradesmen to retaliate in various ways that can be conceived without any great stretch of imagination.—Morning Chronicle. The Palmerston journal of last night contains the following paragraph :—" We are told by the Times that the Ministers" tenure of office is backed by the priesthood and Papistry of Ireland.' Well, if it be ao, it can hardly be a matter of discredit to any Go vernment that they have gained the united support of 7,000,000 of her Majesty's subjects. It would be no small matter o f cong ratulation to Sir R. Peel, could y he find hi s tenure o f o ffi ce b ac k e d by si m i l a r allies." Verily Cupid is becoming a very ancient and doting Cvaddler. We never said that the Ministers were sup ported by 7,000,000 of her Majesty's subjects. De ducting the respectable portion of the Catholics in England and Ireland, we do not believe that the bog trotting serfs, men, women, and children, who obey the orders of O'Connell and his Papist priests, amount to 5,000,000. This phalanx, however compact, and however zealous, is, we suspect, no match for the seventeen millions of the inhabitants of Great Britain, who have expressed in the plainest and most unequivocal manner that they are friends to the cause of Conservatism. Taking the whole of Great Britain, there is a decided majority of seventeen Conservative Members returned to Parlia ment, in spite of the most strenuous efforts and the most lavish expenditure of the Government party. 'We are thoroughly convinced, that had the Conservative Members taken a more active part against that odious Poor-law, which now almost all of them admit to be a measure demanding alteration, the majority would have been more than doubled. If, however, the great advantages under which Lord Melbourne made his re cent appeal to the country are considered, a majority, of seventeeen is a brilliant triumph. When Sir Ro bert Peel dissolved the Parliament of 1834, there were various circumstances which made success almost impossible. The sudden dismissal of the Melbourne Ministry in November, 1834, though perfectly justifiable in the opinion of those who were ac quainted with the real state of the case, was never entirely understood by the nation at large. Hence considerable apprehension and distrust were easily propagated in the public mind by the friends and agents of the dismissed Ministers. The new Cabinet had not had a sufficient tenure of their places to acquire that influence which Government pa tronage must almost necessarily insure to all actual possessors of office. No wonder, then, that the Peel Cabinet did not obtain a majority in the elections of 34-35. How different the position of Lord Mel bourne at the time of the present election. He has been in office two years and a half ; he has had the distribution of more patronage, military, naval, epis copal, judicial, than perhaps ever before fell to the lot of a Minister during a career of a dozen years ; he has had commissionerships of all kinds at his com mand, enough to corrupt or tempt almost all the pro fessional men in the kingdom : he has, himself and by his colleagues and instruments, impudently and falsely pretended that the Queen is friendly to his Cabinet and policy, though he knows that her Majesty's retention of him was-a mere matter of form and convenience ; yet with all these appliances and means of success, he has been thoroughly and disgracefully beaten. The English counties have stamped him with indelible im press of rejection ; he may boast of his Irish allies ; he he may parade his O'Connells and Sheils and Vigorses before the insulted and indignant eyes of the people of England, but England has already by anti cipation prepared the downfall of the whole band. A majority of 114 to 45, that is, of sixty-nine Members out of the 159 Representatives of English counties, will not suffer themselves and their powerful consti tuencies to be put down and nullified by a handful of Irishmen, who have sworn hatred to their persons and destruction to their institutions. We laugh, therefore, at the threats of the delegates of Papist priests and Radical disturbers. England and her Queen are combined to support the Conservative cause, which is another name for the cause of property, law, liberty, Church, and Monarchy, and the efforts of even the 7,000,000 (and we will take their own numeration), though excited by the howlings of O'Connell and the shrieks of Sheil, caa no more overthrow the sacred ark of the Constitution, than (to use the awful language of the Scriptures) the Gates of Hell can prevail against the Rock of Truth.—Times. Ever active in evil or in organizing the means of its perpetration, the Tories have no sooner ceased from the infamous exertions by means of which they have to a great extent defrauded the constituent body of the kingdom of its due representation, than they are pre paring for another onslaught against the rights of the people. From the corruptions of the polling-booths they turn to ply the work of fraud in the registration courts. Already have they committees formed to su perintend the registries, that is, to provide that every person qualified for the franchise, and whose vote can be held subject to the dictation of the faction, shall have his name duly inserted on the registration-books--that persons not qualified, but similarly subservient to si nister control, shall either have qualifications manu factured for them, or become possessed of the franchise by other fraudulent means—and that every independent and liberal elector shall be harassed by all manner of frivolous and vexatious objections in complying with the legal form by which he receives the electoral qua lification. This is what the Tories understand by superintending the registries, and Committees are re gularly constituted for the sole purpose of carrying into effect this outrageous attempt to corrupt and de grade the constituencies, by the infusion of spurious voters—to rob the genuine elector of his franchise— to overcome the honest by the dishonest--the inde pendent by the servile—and prepare the way for an easy victory over the liberal and patriotic spirits of the country, whenever a general election may afford the opportunity. With such machinations at work, need we impress upon the Reformers the necessity of the ut most vigilance and activity to defeat so atrocious a con spiracy against popular representation ? A little quiet attention to the fegistries may do more service, and be found more advanta:;cous in the hour of need, than the utmost exertion or bluster in the heat of election. Therefore, Reformers, look well to the registries. Sec that none entitled to the franchise be omitted from the lists, and that the Tories be not allowed to foist into the constituencies those who have no qualification but their aptitude for, Tory purposes. Another election may not be so far distant as is generally contemplated ; but whether remote or proximate, it is the first duty of every person qualified for the franchise to hold him self in constant readiness and preparation for its exer cise. In its own bosom the country has a watchful and wily enemy ever meditating schemes against its liberties, and ever prepared to take advantage of any neglect or omission on the side of the Liberals. In the presence of such a foe, the elector who remains a day unregistered is guilty of as great a breach of duty as the soldier who would sleep on his post in the neighbourhood of a hostile camp. The franchise is the peaceful weapon by which to overcome the do mestic enemy—it is our shield and spear—a protec tion to all the good which we possess—au instrument of assault on all the evil which oppresses us—to go without it in such a time as this, is to leave our bosom naked to the knife of the assassin. In this he your trust, then, Reformers, " Register, Register, Register." To neglect the franchise or leave it unavailable, is to betray yourselves, your children, and your country.— Morning Advertiser. A deputation lately arrived in Paris from the United States to be initiated in the process of manufacturing beet root sugar. Should the soil of America be found suitable for the plant, a blow will be dealt at slavery in the south which will haste❑ on the total abolition of the system. On Thursday morning last, a boy, about eleven years of age, named James Cadie, the son of a widow re siding at No. 3, New Church -court, Strand, abstracted from his mother's pocket-book (which she had placed under her pillow on the previous night) eight sovereigns and one shilling, with which he decamped. Information was given at the police-stations, but he eluded pursuit until Sunday, when he was met by a constable of the R division at Greenwich, riding on a donkey, with a basket containing bread slung on one side of the animal and a stone-bottle on the other side. The constable conveyed him and his ass to his disconsolate mother. It appeared that the little urchin had spent the first two nights of his absence in rid ing about town in a cab, for which he paid 203. each night, and that he had purchased the donkey for 235., and had also bought a violin and a music-book. He had only a few halfpence left when met by the policeman, having squan dered the remainder away. It is the intention of the pa rent to send the young delinquent to sea. On Wednesday - evening an inquest was held at the Town-hall, Windsor, before Mr. Marlin, coroner for the borough, on view of the body of Elizabeth Smith, a young woman`only 17 years of age, servant to Mr. Robert Eeles, one of her Majesty's footmen, residing in the New-road. The jury having been to view the body, which lay on the floor of her master's kitchen, returned to the Town-hall, and evidence to the following effect was adduced :—lt ap peared from the statements of Mrs. Eeles (the deceased's mistress), Sophia Smith (the deceased's sister), and of other persons, that the deceased had been in the service of Mr. Eeles about two months, and bore the character of a cheerful and excellent servant. She was of a very lively disposition, but was frequently afflicted with p a i ns i n t h e h ea d , f or w hi c h at one time she had her hair cut off and her head blistered. On Sunday last she went to church with her sister, but during the service her head became so bad that her sis ter took her out, and they went together to the New Ter race. There she spoke as a person evidently affected in her faculties, for when near the water, in the centre of which is the jet d'eau, she inquired of her sister if it were deep enough to drown her. Her sister took her away, a n d they soon after rested on the wall of terrace, when the de ceased there asked whether i t would kill her if she fell off it. The deceased returned home in the evening, and on Monday did her work as usual. On Tuesday night she slept with her mistress (whose husband was in town on duty at the Queen's Palace), and shortly after five o ' clock in the morning arose to go about the household work. A little after seven o'clock Mrs. Eeles came down stairs, and, find ing that no work had been done, she looked about for the deceased, but could not find her. On going to the wash house door she found it fastened on the inside, and called to some wo r k men near t h e h ouse , w h e n they came and broke the d oor open, and the unfortunate young woman was discovered su s p en d e d b y a cord from one of the beams. She was cut down, and Mr. Pearl, of the Dispensary, was sent for, but l ife was qu i te ext i nct. Th e d ecease d' s mother stated to the jury that she had called on her daughter, and had had, as she said, " a v er y goo d account o f h er an d h er mistress. ,, The jury returned a verdict that " the deceased destroyed herself while labouring under temporary mental doraugemea," TEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGIST 17, 1837. LAW INTELLIGENCE. BANKRUPTCY COURT, Alio. 16. The Commissioners, Mr. Fonblanque, Mr. Holroyd, and Mr. Fane, sat in a Sub-division Court to-day, to decide upon a claim made to prove against the estate of William Law, a bankrupt, the sum of 5,567/. 16s. 3d., on a judgment bond, which was opposed by the assignees, on the ground that such an amount was not due to the claimants, and that in other respects the debt was invalid ; at least that it was liable to considerable reduction. The Court heard Counsel en both sides, and Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said the question was •ne of such general importance that the Court must take to consider its decision. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. BlGAMY.—Willion Evans Hart, aged 36, was indicted for intermarrying with Ann Wells, his wife Charlotte being then and now living. Sarah Walters lives at Hackney, and was present at Chingford Church when the prisoner married Charlotte Gowland, and was one of the attesting witnesses. By Mr. CLARKSON—She did not faint at the wedding, nor did any other person that she was aware of. A witness of the name of Vernon deposed to having, seen the prisoner's real wife alive a few weeks ago. Ann Wells, the prosecutrix, was married to the prisoner at St. Pancras on the 13th of January, 1836. He de scribed himself as a bachelor. He received no property with her. She has an infant child by him. Several respectable witnesses knew the prisoner and his wife. The latter was a profligate woman, and addicted to drink, to obtain which she pawned everything she could lay her hands on. He had often to remain at home on Sun days because his clothes were at the pawnbroker's. He was an industrious, sober, steady man. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, accompauied with an earnest recommendation to mercy. The Court intimated that the sentence would be a lenient one. QUEEN ELIZABETH'S STOCKINGS.—Sarah Row, aged 60, was indicted for stealing a pair of silk hose, value 10s., the property of Elizabeth Robinson. The prosecutrix stated that she lives at No. 2, Middle New-street, Gough-square, and the prisoner had been her lodger for some time. The stockings now produced are her property, and she has had them more than 20 years. CommoN SERGEANT—I see, Madam, by the depositions, that you state the stockings are more than 300 years old ? Witness—My Lord, they were once the property of Eliza beth, Queen of England. When that Monarch died, her will directed that her wardrobe should be divided between her maids of honour, and these stockings have been handed down as an heir-loom from generation to generation. -- Police constable 139 G, stated that - when he appre hended the prisoner she told him she had pledged the stockings at Brown's, in Gray's Inn-lane-road, and he found them there. _ _ _ The hose were now produced, and excited great curiosity. They were of scarlet silk, with white clocks, surmounted by a Papal crown. The prisoner put in a written paper, and her defence was, that she had pawned the stockings by order of Mrs. Robin son, who wanted money to pay for a new bonnet. A City officer informed the Court that, pursuant to an order by the sitting Aldermen at Guildhall, he had made an inquiry respecting the character of the prosecutrix, and he found she had the repute of being a fortune-teller. Mrs. Robinson was recalled, to state whether she acted as sybil to the love sick maids resident in her vicinity ? She declared that she never told a fortune in her life. Prisoner—How can you say so? You know you had 15s. some time since from one person. My Lord, when people came to have their fortunes told, I used to leave the room and sit on the stairs. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. BIGAMY. —John Scott, a Chelsea pensioner, 63 years of age, was indicted for marrying Jane Gavin, his wife Eliza beth being then alive. `William Wyatt, formerly parish clerk at St. Luke's, Chelsea, produced a zertificate copy from the register, and proved by oral testimony, that in 18110 the prisoner was married to one Elizabeth O'Neal, who is now alive. By Mr. CLARKSON—The gentlemen of the church sent for him, but he does not know whether it is a parish prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON—How long were you clerk at Chelsea ? Witness—More than 16 years. Mr. CLARKSON—You are not so now ? Witness—No. To a further question the witness said warmly, " Come, come, we won't have any nonsense here, and it's not for you to make it."—(Laughter.) Mr. CLARKSON—WiII you answer the question ? Wit ness—lt's for you to put it, and for me to refuse to an swer, if I like. This I know, I acted as clerk at the prisoner's wedding, and he gave me 14s. for the ring, and 2s. for myself. Mr. CLARKSON—How came you to leave the office Witness—Because there was a change in the Ministry— (lmmense laughter)—l do not mean the great Ministry, but a change of churchwardens and parish gentlemen. Mr. CLARKSON—WiII you swear there was no other reason ? Witness—l left for mismanagement, but with a character unblemished, and it's not for you to defame it. Mr. CLARESON—W;IS not something said about plates being taken off the coffins ? Witness—There was a charge against one John Howe for removing some lead. Mr. CLARKSON—And you were charged with helping him. Witness—Something was said at first ; but Howe was tried in the Old Court here, before the Judges of the realm, and convicted. Jane Gavin was married to the prisoner in a parish church in Ireland, in 1822, when she was very young. She had long known that he had another wife, but she did not separate from him until last Christmas, when it was agreed that they were not to unite again until his other wife died. Witness prosecuted him because the other woman stopped the pension. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. RAWLINSON, with attempting to obtain money, by means of false and fraudulent pretences, from Mrs. Ann Ellis, a lady residing at No. 52, Connaught -terrace, Edge ware-road. Mr. RAWLINSON said it did the officers great credit in bringing such notorious impostors to justice, and committed the man for three months and the woman for one month to the House of Correction. -- KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday Mrs. Elizabeth Atkinson, the wife of a re spectable tailor, residing in Queen-street, Brompton, was charged before Messrs. Barlow and Pilkington with having stolen and illegally- pawned a variety of articles of plate and jewellery, the property of a lady named Harrison, who was a lodger in the house. The prisoner, when called on for her defence, had nothing to urge in extenuation of her defence, and her husband and friends, who were present, said they could not account in any way for her conduct. Mrs. Harrison prayed the mercy of the Bench, in con sideration of the prisoner's previous excellent character. Mr. BARLOW adjudged her to pay the amount and in terest for which the articles were pledged, and a fine of 205., and, in default, to be imprisoned for six weeks. The amount was paid in the course of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Lord Bolton and his lady, accompanied by their two sons, attended at this office before Sir F. ROE, to give evidence in the case of John Halt a clerk in the General Post-office, who had been remanded on Wednes day fortnight, on a charge of stealing and destroying a let ter which passed through his hands in the discharge of his duty. After the witnesses were bound over, the prisoner declined saying anything, and Sir F. Roe ordered him to be fully committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. A brace of duffers, named Jones and Boyd, were charged with having sold one of their " valuable bargains of smug gled cambric" to a smart young man, with a fund of sim plicity in his countenance. The complainant was walking along the street when he was accosted by Boyd, who asked him to buy some smug gled Havannahs. He refused to buy any, but be was pre vailed upon to enter a public-house to try the quality of one of the cigars over a glass of brandy and water. While puffing away the other prisoner came up, and produced a piece of cambric, " warranted real French and smuggled," which he offered to sell for 21. Complainant, after a hard bargain, got possession of the prize for 10s. He marched off with it, but on way called at a linen-draper's shop to display his bargain. The linen-draper no sooner saw the article than he pronounced it to be Scotch muslin, about 6d. a yard, and the whole piece dear at 3s. Complainant went back with a policeman, and found the prisoners deeply engaged with another " flat," in striking a bargain for a lot of " India bandannas." _ _ Mr. CHAMBERS asked the young man how he could be so simple as to suppose that he was bu 3 ing French cambric at 6d. a yard? Complainant (scratching his head)—l'm no judge, but I hope you'll punish them, as I consider I'm doing a public duty in protecting the community at large. Mr. CHAMBERS—Nonsense, man ; how can such a sim pleton as you are protect the community ? The two prisoners having received a gentle hint from the Beneh, went out and mustered seven shillings, which they tendered to the complainant in satisfaction of the imposition. The complainant, finding it was " Hobson's choice," took the sum, and left the office evidently impressed with the truth of that adage which relates to the effect of experience in making " wise" a particular class of persons. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday James Carstairs Robinson, with many aliases, a notorious begging letter impostor, who ha s f or some years past been engaged in levying contributions on the nobility and gentry, was placed at the bar, together with Lavinia Swan, a woman with whom he cohabited at No. 95, Chapel street, Vauxhall-road, charged before the sitting magistrate, HA TTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John Henesy, an Irish labourer, residing at No. 6, Caroline -court, Saffron-hill, was brought to this office in the custody of Cover, the beadle of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and Sergeant Ellis, No. 7 division, charged with the murder of Margaret Henesy, his wife. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. _ _ Mr. itoGcas remanded the prisoner. Crowds assembled around the office, and followed the prisoner to the New Prison to which he was committed, and summonses were issued to compel the attendance of other witnesses at the next examination. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Edward Powiiall, a genteel-looking youth, of 14 years of age, the son of a gentleman residing at No. 3, Pownall-terrace, Kennington-road, and Thomas White, a boy of 12 years of age, the son of a respectable tradesman, in Chester-street, Kennington, were brought before Mr. WEDGWOOD and Mr. TRAILL, charged with breaking into the house of Mr. Wm. Shorlock, No. 2, Pownall-terrace, and stealing a watch, a pair of pearl earrings, and a piece of Irish linen, containing upwards of 20 yards. Two pawnbrokers produced the above mentioned ar ticles, and identified the prisoners as having pledged them at their shops. Both the prisoners were committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ALLEGED SWINDLING.— Yesterday John Jones, a servant in smart livery, and Wil liam Griffiths, applied to the Hon. G. C. NORTON for his advice and assistance, under the following extraordinary circumstances : Lea, the officer who introduced the parties to the Magis' trate, said that an application had been made to him a few days ago for his interference in the case, and, from what he could learn from the parties, its outlines were these : About six weeks ago a lady, who represented herself as the wife of Sir James Grant, applied to Mr. Denton, a horse dealer and livery-stable-keeper in Whitechapel, in conse quence of an advertisement in one of the morning papers, to purchase a pair of handsome ponies, and ultimately agreed to give one hundred guineas for them and a handsome phaeton and harness. On agreeing on the purchase Lady Grant, as she styled herself, told Mr. Denton that, owing to the ab sence of her husband, Sir James, in Ireland with his regi ment, her servants, at her country residence in Devonshire were continually getting drunk, and she in consequence discharged them, and wanted to hire another set it; their place. Mr. Denton, believing that the lady was what she represented herself, recommended the applicant Jones to her as a footman, and she at once hired him. With this appendage, and while driven about in the phaeton of Mr. Denton, she had called upon various tradesmen in different parts of the metropolis, and gave orders for goods of diffe rent descriptions to a very considerable amount. At one shop in Holborn her order for upholstery alone amounted to 5501., and at another in King William-street for ranges, ironmongery, &c., to nearly the same sum. Her orders were, however, fortunately countermanded by both Mr. Denton and the servant Jones on their discovery that she was a mere impostor, and thus the parties were saved an immense loss. The statement of Jones, with respect to the conduct of the female in question was the most extraordi nary he (Lea), had ever heard, and proved her singular character. Jones here entered into a minute detail of kis residence and travels with Lady Grant, which drew forth much laughter. It appeared from his statement that, about three weeks ago, her Ladyship and himself embarked on board the _Monarch Liverpool steamer, at Blackwell, to proceed to Exeter, neither having in their possession at the time a single shilling. Notwithstanding this, however, she had the best of everything on board, and on landing at Dart mouth she made such specious representations to the cap tain that he permitted her and him (Jones) to go on shore without paying a farthing for their voyage and expenses while on board. Here she expressed some disappointment at not finding letters with remittances ; but she was not long in want of the needful, as she made an application to Mr. Vincent, the agent of the Steam-boat Company, stat ing the manner she had been disappointed in remittances, and representing that she had a large quantity of goods at Cotton's Wharf, London, to be shipped for her country re sidence, and that she would give the vessels for which he (Mr. Vincent) was the agent a preference for their con veyance. Mr. Vincent on this invited her to his house and gave her 51. She next went to Totnes, and or dered to be driven by post to Exeter, but, her money falling short before she got half her journey, she or dered the same post carriages to drive her back to the Stars Inn, at Totnes, and from this was afterwards forwarded by the mail, by the landlord, without her paying him his bill. She subsequently took a house at a village called Bradninch, from a Mr. Matthews, and lost no time in setting a number of men to work in digging a well, and doing other work about the place, and gave directions to the landlord of a neighbouring inn to purchase a couple of good milch cows. She also engaged a pew in the parish Church, when she attended service twice on the Sunday she was there, and was paid the most marked at tention to by the parish authorities, and formed a subject of considerable curiosity to the inhabitants, who were anxious to have a peep at her, and who talked about the great benefit her ladyship would be to the parish by her residence there, and the honour she would confer upon their congregation. She next returned to Dartmouth, and made a second application to Mr. Vincent for more money ; but he refused her more than the 5/, he had before paid to her, but advised her, if she was the person she represented herself, to write to Colonel Seale, the Member of Parlia ment for the borough, who would no doubt contribute to her immediate wants. She did so, and the Gallant Colonel, on calling on her, gave her two sovereigns, and subsequently a check for their fare to town by the mail. On her arrival in town she put up at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Char ing -cross, and while there she engaged a gardener, a foot boy, a nook, a housekeeper, and a lady's maid or com panion ; the latter being the daughter of a respectable surgeon. These, except the latter, she had sent to an inn in the Borough, where they were provided with necessaries for some days ; but the landlord at length, seeing not the slightest prospect of being paid, and that her Ladyship, who had herself taken up her residence there was in fact pennyless, he turned them out of his house on the evening I before. The applicants, in conclusion, said that on that I day Lady Grant had shown them a printed paper with a large seal on, which she represented as her life policy, upon which she was on the next (this) day about to raise 1501., and that all would be right ; but they (the applicants) having no doubt that if she received the money it would be by misrepresentation, considered it to be their duty to come before a Magistrate and make a statement of the whole case. Mr. NORTON here asked the applicants if they thought the female in question was in her proper senses ? They replied that she undoubtedly was ; and in reply to some further questions they said she was about forty-five years of age, of much ease of manners and fluency of speech, but her appearance was anything but ladylike, as she had not a second change, and wore the ,same things for three weeks. Lea, the officer, said that she was well known at a house in Birr-street, St. Katharine's, where it appeared she was at present stopping ; that she was a Scotchwoman, and though she had been in needy circumstances at times, it was believed had been at one time respectable. Mr. NORTON could do nothing in the matter, as the ap plicants and Mr. Denton had by their very proper conduct prevented the delivery of any part of the property. Lea said he had no doubt the publication of the affair would produce some tangible charge against the accused, and the parties left the office. EXPRESS.—We recorded last week the extraordi nary exertions made to obtain early intelligence of the pro ceedings at the nomination of Members for East Cumber land, on Thursday last. We inadvertently stated that the same rider went through from Shap to Carnforth—whereas it was a young man in the service of Mr. Jackson, went for ward from Kendal. The same enterprising parties con veyed the result of the polling on Monday and Tuesday last, to London, with equal expedition. On the former of these days the express, which left Carlisle about four in the afternoon, reached the King's Arms inn at seven minutes past six o'clock, having travelled forty-three miles in very little more than two hours, of which distance the journey from Shap was performed by young Richardson of that place in forty minutes. A young man of the name of Ed ward Sill went forward to Carnforth, where he arrived at t e n minutes to seven, having changed his horse at Hale. On Tuesday, the express left Kendal at eighteen minutes past six in the evening, and reached Carnforth at seven mi nutes to seven. The intelligence would travel this way to Warrington, from which it would he conveyed to Birming ham by a carriage along th e ra il- roa d, e s p ec i a ll y hi re d f or th e occasion. From Birmingham it would resume its first mode of journeying to London, and reach the metropolis about daylight in the morning succeeding. Is there any country but England where the caterers for the public ap petite evince such enterprise ?—Kendal Mercury. THE PRECIOUS METALS.—The exportation of gold and silver coin from the port of London to foreign ports during the past week, ending the 15th instant, is as follows :—Gold coin to Rotterdam, 174 oz. ; ditto to Mau ritius, 6,900 oz. ; silver coin to Boulogne, 1,800 oz. ; date to Rotterdam, 21,380 ounces. RIOT AT HACKNEY For some days past the respectable inhabitants of Hack ney have been in a state of considerable alarm, in conse quence of an anticipated attack upon several acres of corn growing upon Hackney Dawns, and which is Lammas land ; the right of entrance open which by the parishioners com mences on the 12th of August, and terminates on the 6th of April. During the other period the property is let by Mr. Tyson, the lord of the manor, to various persons, and it consists of forty acres, twenty of which is rented by Mr. Adamson, the entire twenty consisting of standing corn ready to come under the hand of the reaper. As it would take a week to clear that extent of ground, a notice was issued, calling upon the parishioners to refrain for that pe riod sending their cattle on the Downs. But a notion had got abroad, that not only, whether or no the crops were ungathered, they could send their cattle on and after the 12th of August, but that also the parishioners had a right of ownership in whatever was growing there. On Monday last some parishioners placed their cows on the Downs, and by force seized some corn, the property of Mr. Adamson. Two parishioners (Mr. Neale, a fishmonger, and Mr. Ambrose, a cowkeeper) were apprehended, and taken before Mr. Broughton, at Worship-street police-office, who, having heard the charge, dismissed the case, leaving the question undecided. The parties, with their friends, who had accom panied them to the office, returned back to Hackney, and, believing that they had obtained a victory, they placed blue favours in their hats and bonnets. The report of their suc cess obtained quick circulation in the town, the effect of which was, that an opinion became generally entertained that the corn was the common property of the parish. Mr. Adamson, fearing that some attempt might be made, pro ceeded to the Downs, but where he had not been long be fore a ruffianly attack was made upon him. He was knocked down, and while on the ground he was attempted to be throttled, while several exclaimed " Throttle the --." The life of Mr. Adamson was saved by some of his work men coming to his assistance, and the man was given into the custody of a police constable. Shortly after this a scene of the most extraordinary nature took place. Crowds of persons collected from all parts of the town, consisting not only of the parishioners, but some of the lowest characters in the town, who committed a simultaneous robbery of the property. By about 8 o'clock there were 3,000 or 4,000 persons on the Downs, who were engaged in various ways taking the property. Some were reaping, while others were binding up in sheaves, and trucks, waggons, and carts were being filled. Mr. Adamson was present witnessing the de ♦astation of his property. Many of the most respectable inhabitants who surrounded him, exclaimed, " Good God'. do we live in a civilized country ?" The most extraordinary part of the affair is, that though there were some police on the spot, while the station-house is but a short distance from where the riotous multitude were proceeding in their career of destruction, that the police did not take strong measures to prevent it. They brought back above a cart load that had been taken away, but the depredations continued till near one o'clock, amidst the wild cheers of the assembled multitude. Proceedings will be taken by Mr. Adamson against the more wealthy of the parishioners, who excited the plunder. The loss of property amounts to above 601. On Monday morning, as Mr. William Jackson, of Hereford, was walking along the road, he saw one of those begging impostors dressed as a sailor dividing with another fellow a considerable sum of money, the fruits of their im positions on the public. Mr. Jackson made a remark upon the manner in which the public were imposed upon, when the scoundrel hurled a large stone at his head, knocked him down, and beat him over the head and chest in the most ferocious manner. Mr. Jackson being a strong man, on recovering himself, seized his antagonist, who swore he would murder him, and after a desperate struggle, kept his hold until assistance came. He had him conveyed to the city police-office, where he was fined 11. and costs, which being unable to pay, he was committed for three months' hard labour to Bridewell, and the money found upon him (325.) was ordered to go towards his support in gaol.—Hereford Journal. _ _ . , STAFFA.—On Tuesday, the Ist. instant, three Glasgow ladies, who happened to be on a visit in the Island of Coll, set off from thence for Staffa in a small boat with six of a crew. They had no more than time to survey the magnificent cave of Fingal, when, on a sudden, a com plete hurricane came on. The attempt to leave the island in their fragile bark, in such weather, would assuredly lead to their being swallowed up by the remorseless waves. They had no alternative but to remain in the island, deso late and uninhabited as it was—without a house, however humble, to shelter them from the storm—without fire, and with their slender store of provisions exhausted. The hardy highlanders hauled the bark ashore, and, with the aid of the scanty sail, constructed a rude tent, under the shelter of which the unhappy ladies were constrained to pass the night. Morning came, and brought hope, but no calm. The boatman hoisted a signal of distress on the highest part of the island, but to no purpose ; the storm raged as fiercely as ever, " return or aid preventing." Towards the even ing of the second day, however, five daring islanders from Gometra, during a temporary lull, ventured their own lives to rescue the party. But this only made matters worse ; for scarcely had they reached Staffa when the tem pest broke out with redoubled violence, and, balking their well-meant exertions, compelled them to remain with those whom they had come to succour. Thus passed the second night. On the third day their hopes were raised by per ceiving- a steamer labouring and snorting amongst the huge billows ; but when within a few miles of Staffs, she con sulted her safety, and put back. Shortly afterwards they descried a larger one, which turned out to be " the Maid of Islay." All she could possibly accomplish was to send four quartern loaves ashore to the famishing prisoners. Gradually the weather moderated, and in the course of the same day they were enabled to leave the island in their boats ; and the ladies have now reached Glasgow in safety. —Glasgow Courier. KING WILLIAM.—The following anecdote of Wil liam the Fourth will be read with interest by many of our readers :—A short time previous to the illness of his late Majesty a poor lad in the employ of Mr. Hitchins, baker, of Walcat-street, in this city, got possessed of the idea that he had a taste for music, and determined on making an effort to obtain some assistance whereby he might acquire the means of gratifying this taste. He accordingly "screw ed his courage to the sticking point," and wrote a letter to the King, in which he ingeniously set forth his wants, stated himself to be a poor lad, and hoped his Majesty would take his case into consideration, and present him with a piano, in the event of his having an old one which he did not want. The King, with that promptitude which might have been anticipated from his business habits, immediately caused an inquiry to be made, through Lord James O'Brien, respect ing the truth of the boy's representation, and his Lord ship, finding that no duplicity had been resorted to, re ported to his Majesty accordingly. The King at once expressed a wish that the boy should be sent to London, to have the advantage of a musical education at the Royal Academy ; but this munificent proposal was received with suspicion rather than gratitude by the boy's parents, who thought that the King only wanted to get their son sent to London, to punish him for his impudence. They, there fore, obstinately refused to sanction his removal. Their unfounded fears, however, did not prevent his Majesty from performing an act of kindness, for only a short time pre , vious to his death his Majesty ordered a piano to be pur chased, as a present for the lad. The instrument was ac cordingly placed in the hands of his employer, Mr. Hit chens. The circumstance which prompted the lad to ad dress his Majesty was his hearing a paragraph read from a newspaper detailing the success which had attended a simi lar application by a poor girl to the King of Prussia.— Bath Gazette. The natural slope of the surface for miles above and below Placentia, is the greatest of any I have ever seen under culture ; so great, indeed, that the mountain showers, which fall in torrents, would wash the soil and its crop into the river, if the farmers had not taken the precaution to throw it into little terraces at every few yards. These seem, from the opposite side, to present a countless succession of wavy steps, up which the spectator imagines he could walk seria tim, and which arc in reality so close, that, for the most part, the arable surface is only four or five yards across, and in some places a man standing on the edge of one step could touch the step above him with his walking-stick. The ori ginal surface of the slope is nowhere to be seen. The pre sent is all artificial, and viewed in profile, at sharp turns of the road, affords a striking alternation of faces, one set nearly horizontal, the other nearly vertical, like the sil houette of a saw or a stair-case. In many parts the strata of red iron-stone which compose these mountains stand. so upright that the farmer spares himself the trouble ?f building artificial walls, and, having adjusted the soil on their several edges or landing places, sows his maize thereon, or leaves it to throw up a natural herbage for the cattle that traverse these ridges with all the naivete of wild goats. The general frontal aspect bears a whimsical resemblance to the wavy pattern that . Constable has impressed upon the patent calico binding of his new editions, and would probably re mind a fisherman of the ripples of a sandy shore at full ebb. A Southdown farmer would feel sorely puzzled at th e s i g h t, and perhaps return home in a state of surprise, admitting of of no increase even if he were to find the f ace o f t h e cliffs at Dover cultivated to the summ it.—Stephens' Basque Pro vinces. A TURKISH BATA.—The sultry weather ingiced me to take, for the first time, a Turkish bath, to which I was invited by a Greek friend: The bath room was situ ated in a street at the back of my residence. We were first introduced into a room which was delightfully cool, and then entered an inner apart men t, which was full of hot steam, which soon penetrated the pores, so that in ten mi nutes the perspiration was dripping from us. 'We then went through the ordeal of shampooing ; which is, in fact, being rubbed down by a flannel rubber in a similar manner to a groom dressing a horse ; and, after twenty minutes' opera tions, we were then drenched with luke-warm water. Upon coming out of the bath, you lay down in a bed, and the at tendant brings you coffee, and a pipe if you desire it. The price is about one drachma and a half—including the shampooing, the coffee, and pipe.—Cochrane's Wanderings in Greece. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—In our last we copied a paragraph, which has been going the round of the papers, stating that for the last five weeks considerable ex citement had prevailed in the neighbourhood of the Edge ware-road, London, in consequence of the mysterious disap pearance of a female named Sansbury, the wife of a baker, carrying on business at No. 7, John-street, who left her home on the Ist of May, for the purpose of visiting a brother residing in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, and had not since been heard of. In consequence of the description of her person contained in the paragraph in question, and the recollection of a circumstance which occurred some time since, inspector Stephens, of the city station, was in duced to make some inquiries upon the subject, which have resulted in the discovery of the lost lady, who, in her own name, and in her proper person, was joined in holy wedlock at Christ Church, in this city, on Sunday morning last, to a journeyman tailor, named Blewer, who has been working during the last six months at the shop of Mr. D. Peters, in High-street. It appears that, for some reasons best known to the parties, Mrs. Sansbury had determined ner longer to live with her lawful partner, and she accordingly left London by coach, and arrived in this city on the 2d of May last, with the intention of sailing from this pert to America ; but being unable to obtain an immediate passage, she took up her lodgings at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Wine-street, where, it is believed, she first became ac quainted with her newly-acquired protector, and formed the connection which has terminated in her illegal marriage. As soon as these facts had been pretty clearly ascertained, Mr. Bishop, the superintendent of police, wrote an sec count of the circumstance to the injured husband, who has since arrived in this city, and fully assured himself of the infidelity of his frail partner ; but what further steps will be taken on the subject we are not yet in a condition to , say. We will leave our readers to form their own estimate of the value of Mr. Sansbury's loss. But there is one me lancholy circumstance connected with the affair, which all must equally deplore—we allude to the suicide of the ser vant Eliza Colebury, who, from the dread of being accused as the murderess of her mistress, put a period to her exis tence by hanging herself. It is due to the memory of that poor unfortunate girl that these facts should become known, and it is therefore that, with every respect for the feelings of the abused husband, we have felt it to be our duty to. publish them.—Bristol Mercury. THE HARVEST.—In the counties of Cambridge, Huntingdon, Bedford, and Hertford, wheat-cutting gene rally commenced about the middle of last week ; the average produce is allowed, even by the farmers, to be a good one. Here and there patches of wheat were beaten down by the heavy rains and hurricane which occurred about a fortnight back, but the injury was far less than might be expected ; the corn was already nearly ripe, and the fine settled weather that followed has enabled the farmer to cut and stand it in shocks before any material injury was done, and it has been allowed to remain uncarted till sufficiently dry and ripe. The great bulk of corn in the counties above named has been got in in the finest possible condition. A piece of land consisting of an acre and three-quarters, at Swavesay, five miles beyond Cambridge, on the Huntingdon road, affords a valuable proof of what industry and good husbandry can effect. The owner has no other land, and has for years past paid particular attention to the manuring, ploughing, and weeding this little plot, as also to the judicious selection of crops alternately grown upon it. The consequence has been a great general superiority between the produce of his land, and other land adjacent similarly sown, and of the same natural quality of soil. This year he sowed it with wheat, which he had dibbled in. .The produce is amazing the straw, including the ears, generally is five feet high, and in some few instances is nearly six feet high. The ear itself is of well proportioned length, closely set with large and heavy grains. The whole crop stood well together, but from the length of straw, and the great weight of the ear, it it has suffered more than the ordinary crops from the late storm. The writer, by personal observation, verified the truth of the description given of this crop. The barley has suffered much from the rains, and is beat down to a great.. extent. Experienced persons say much of it will be unfit for malting. Oats are a good crop. Beans and turnips, which are extensively grown in the open plains of Cambridge shire and Hants, look very favourably. The beans are short in stalk, but well covered with pods. The turnips are a strong healthy plant, and seem generally in these parts to to have escaped the fly. Of apples the crop is generally abundant, pears moderately so ; but of plums there are seve ral instances of the failure of the choicer kinds. _ _ THE PROPHETIC DEW-DROP.---A delicate child, pale and prematurely wise, was complaining on a hot morn ing, that the poor dew-drops had been too hastily snatched away, and not allowed to glitter on the flowers like other happier dew-drops, that live the whole night through, and sparkle in the moonlight, and through the morning onwards to noon-day. " The sun," said the child, " has chased them away with his heat, or swallowed them up in his wrath." Soon after came rain and a rainbow ; whereupon his father pointed upwards. " See," said he, " there stand the dew drops gloriously re-set—a glittering jewellery—in the hea vens ; and the clownish foot tramples on them no more. By this, my child, thou art taught that what withers upon earth blooms again in heaven." Thus the father spoke, and know not that he spoke prefiguring words ; for soon after the delicate child, with the morning brightness of his early wisdom, was exhaled, like a dew-drop, into heaven. —Jean Paul Richter. On Sunday morning last Captain E. Dix, R.N., of Truro, who had been on a short visit to W. S. Bentall, Esq., of Tones, proposed to Mr. John Bentall that they should just go over the bridge and see the Rev. W. Cornish for a few minutes before church. They had scarcely reached the turnpike-gate when Captain Dix reeled gently forward to the ground, and instantly expired without the least sigh or groan. Prior to the fatal moment he had enjoyed his usual good health and spirits.—Western Luminary. PEDESTRIANISM.—In consequence of some diffe rence of opinion respecting the physical powers of the human frame, and what might be accomplished if a man felt inclined to exert himself as a pedestrian, Edward Bryant,. of the Pottery, Parson's-green, Middlesex, undertook, .for a considerable bet, to walk sixty miles in twe lve su c cessi ve hours, and yesterday was appointed for the performance of the feat, on the King's private road, Chelsea, from Mr.. Steed's, the Man in the Moon Tavern, to Stanley-bridge, a distance of half a mile. The chronometers of the umpires being set and locked up, Bryant prepared to start, and was dressed in light white trousers, dispensing with the incum brance of his coat and waistcoat. The first eighteen miles he accomplished in three hours, and at various times in the day he halted, for the purpose of taking refreshment. At twenty-five minutes past seven lie came in, having com pleted this unrivalled performance in eleven hours and twenty-five minutes, and thirty-five minutes to spare, with out being in any way distressed ; and so fresh was he at the termination of the undertaking, that he could have walked another ten miles without the slightest difficulty, and bets to this effect were offered, but there were no takers. WICK, AUG. 10.—The result of the election here has cast a gloom over the Liberal party in Caithness—a result not to be ascribed to the real voters, but to the ficti tious life-renters and the old parchment voters. Every foul means was used to corrupt the constituency, and the en closed pamphlet will show you the arguments employed to induce them to break their pledges. The pamphlet allu ded to is the substance of a speech delivered by the Re. Mr. Phin, which we shall notice by and by. It is a fat subject to come from the mouth of a clergyman. This Mr. Phin made himself remarkably busy on the hustings amid the excitement and confusion of party warfare. He is heartily hated for his conduct. All the Liberals who have pews in his church have resolved to sell them, and never enter his church again.—Aberdeen Herald. - - SUITES OF EAR-RINGS, NECKLACE, AND BROOCH.—A variety in the latest taste, varying in price from 10/. to 20/. the Suite, aro arranged in the upper Show Room for selection.
