Worcestershire new Weekly Paper, entirely devoted to the County, it is incum bent upon u s s h ort l y t o sta t e th e nec essity from which the under taking origi na t es , th e a d van t ages w hi c h will attend its adoption , and the politi c al p r i nc i p l es upon w hi c h it will be conducted. It is useless now to discuss the question ,vhether the purpose of a _Provincial Paper is best answered by engaging in the hide field pl s. political di scuss i on , or b y con fi n i ng itself more particularly to local intelligence and th e c u rr ent news of the day ; sufficient is it to re mark that of the four papers at present published in this county, three are distinctly Tory, and the fourth abstains from ta kin g an y decided part. With a view of laying before the public the great truths of poli tical and social science, our present undertaking has arisen ; and while it shall be our a n xious endeavour properly to direct the min ds of our readers, our strenuous exertions shall be applied to impress upon them the paramount importance of maintaining those liberal principles which o-e hold essential to public prosperity, conducive to individual happiness, and consonant with the better feelings and nobler faculties of man. _ With principles alone, it is our intention to deal. If any one looks forward to the existence of the Worcestershire Chronicle as a convenient medium for personal invective or party calumny, he will be disappointed: if any man imagines that it is established in mere hostile opposition to any of the existing county papers, he is mistaken : if any one believes that it owes its origin to the excited feelings of any single class of liberal politicians, he is deceived : for it is set on foot by the united exertions of County and City Re formers of all grades, and it looks forward to the attainment of an end far higher than the gratification to be obtained from personal invective, party calumny, or editorial victory. The Chronicle will sift the nature of each political question, as it presents itself to public notice ; it will lay bare the arguments on which it rests, and expose their fallacies, if any there be. Our object is to lead our feilow-county-men to come to conclusions and to form their judgments, not from one-sided views alone, but from a minate examination of the subject-matter in all its bearings. Yet, with the very best intentions, with all the caution it is pos sible to unite to that openness of conduct which at all times shall mark our course, Low arduous the undertaking ! how difficult the Inanagement of a County Liberal Paper ! We cannot, like the Tory editor, address any well-compacted body of mssn. We cannot, like him, guide ourselves by narrow party views ; for " THE PEOPLE" constitute our party, and within th e range of our political horizon are Liberals of every shade : there, is-the man whose principles, are based on truth and justice, on the full enjoyment to all men of civil and religious liberty ; there also is he, whom prejudices (imbibed perhaps during a faulty system of public education) prevent from acting up to the full ex tent of such principles ; and there also may be found the man who, through .timidity, often confines himself within still narrower bounds. To all, we say, judge us not by any single act—but take us as a Whole. If, for instance, we show ourselves favourable to " The Ballot," and there are those, among our readers, who are not yet convince,' of the necessity for its adoption, let them not withhold from us their support, on such grounds alone, but let them bear in mind the many points on which we do agree with them, and let them listen to our arguments in favour of the measure. Let none c.jnsider us unconstitutional, or anxious to subvert the existing' order of things, because we maintain that the constitution w as maths for the people, rather than thepeople for the constitution. Our object is to repair, not to destroy; to improve, and not to injure.We' deprecate all changes proposed for the mere sake of change. While our columns are open for the insertion of communications from the professors of all religious tenets, we shall ourselves ab stain from advocating the doctrines of any particular sect. Upon all occasions we shall be found zealous promoters of moral order and social tranquillity : convinced that these are the cherished objects of every constitutional reformer. To the Agriculturist and Trader we shall afford the earliest in formation of fairs and markets, and of all that may be considered in teresting to them. The lover of literature, also, will find us an nouncing the appearance of the most recent Works, and directing his attention to the first publications of the day. Aplications for Shares to be address ed to Elgie, Solicitor, 4 8,s -Broad-street, Worcester : to whom a lso all communications are to be made. THE PROPRIETOR OF THE LONDON DISPATCH has the satisfaction of announcing to the public that, after this number, his Journal will be considerably en larged and edited by Dr. Arthur James Beaumont. This gentleman is too well known, both in the political and sci entific world, to require any lengthened account of him. He was a double first-class man in the University of Oxford. Ile is of courie a classical scholar; he speaks fluently most of the la nguages of modern Europe, is a profound mathematician and astronomer, and indeed there is scarcely any science with which he is not embued. Of his political firmness, and of his devotion to the cause of work ing men, lie has given the'strOngest proofs, both in his trial before the French Chamber of Peers fir democracy, and by having en dured three years imprisonment in the dungeons of Louis Philippe, rather than abandon his principles, and submit to the French des pot, as was proposed to him repeatedly by the present British Se cretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Our high opinion of Dr. Beaumont is not singular. The late regretted Armand Carel, thepride and glory of French democ rac y , expressed repeatedly , in ‘.The NXtional," his admiration of his character ; and the confidence reposed in him by the working men of France is a:proof that his merits in their eves must have been great, when they, as Frenchmen overlooked national prejudices in selecting him as one of their leaders. We are aware that this great eulogy on our new editor may pos sibly offend him. It is published without his knowledge, bat we feel that we are justified in doing it, because it is strictly true, ad mits of 120 denial, and only places our Journal in the rank it ought to occupy as being edited by a man of high reputation for his learn ing, talents, virtue, and public spirit. In all its parts, political, literary, and scientific, our Journal (as we can confidently predict) shall be second to none in the realm ; and we anticipate with certainty its taking the lead as the organ of European democracy. IMPORTANT- TO ADVERTISERS. The triumph of true Radieal principles may be pretty well esti mated by the following return from the Stamp-office, of the stamps asued to different Journals in the same period : The London Dispatch 202,750 The Observer London Mercury ' 148,000 Examiner John Bull Age Spectator 73,500 • News Atlas From the above it will be seen that the sale of the London Dis patch doubles that of the Tory " John Bull," and triples that of the Hanoverian " Age." We think our advertising readers might take a lesson from these facts, which might be as useful to them as it Mould be profitable to us. Office, 22, Catherine-street.

MERCHANT COMPANY. Monday a general meeting of the Company of Merchant. was held in Edinburgh, for the purpose of electing office bearers for the ensuing year, when the following gentlemen were unanimously chosen : Robert Thomson, Esq., Master. Messrs. Archibald Thomson, Geo. John Sanderson, John Alexander. John Livingston, William Oliphant, Thomas Greig, Alex. Macfarlane, Wm. Muir, Wm. Whitehead, Wm. Brunton, James Ritchie, Assistants. Mr. Alexander Jamieson. Treasurer. POST-OFFICE IMPROVEMENT. Mr. ROBERT CADELL brought before the meeting the plan of Mr. Rowland llill for the reduction of all postage to one penny, payable in advance, by the purchaser of a stumped cover for that price. This simple plan is about to be tried by Government in the London Twopenny-post, on the recommendation of the Commissioners of Post-office Inquiry in their ninth Report. Its general adoption, he said, throughout Great Britain, cannot fail to benefit the whole community, merchants in particular. Since the peace the returns of the Post-office have decreased, while almost every other source of revenue has been on the increase, more especially where judicious statements have been made. And if any loss by the adoption of this scheme did accrue to the State, there could he no more feasible way of granting a great boon to the public. Franks would, by this plan, be at an end, as well as all private transmission of letters, and the risk of moneyed remit tances being abstracted almost entirely removed. Mr. Hill's plan has made so great 211 impression in London as to meet with the support of almost all its leading merchants and bankers, whose petition in favour of the general adoption of the measure was presented to the House of Lords, in June last, by Lord Ashburton, and seconded by the Duce of Wellington. The more the whole question is consi dered, coupled, too, with the facilities which railways must give to the transmission of the greatly increased correspon dence of the country, which this system will engender, the more the merchants of Edinburgh will find it their interest to support it by petitions to both Houses of Parliament, as well by memorial to the Lnrds of the Treasury. The statement of Mr. Cadell was favourably received, and the meeting unanimously agreed to remit the whole to the Master and Assistant, with the addition of Mr. Macfie, Mr. Adam Black, and Mr. Cadell, to consider and report. —Edinbu-gh Courant.

MUSIC AND DANCING LICENSES. The Report of a Committee " appointed to consider the Act of the 25th Geo. 11., cap. 35, relating to the licensing of places of music and dancing, and such like entertain ments," was called for. Mr. HALSWELL, as Chairman of the Committee,handed in the following report : Your Committee have to report that it appears to be doubtful whether or not 'the Court have power to inter fere with, or regulate, the granting of licenses under that Act.' At the same time the Committee are of opinion that, if such power does not exist, the following regulation should be adopted, viz.:— " That any petition against the granting or the renewal of a license previously granted, shall be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace three clear days before the A ppointed time for the hearing of applications for licenses, with li berty far the party petitioned against to inspect, and be fur nished (upon paying the Clerk of the Peace for the same) with a copy of any such petition. " All which the Committee submit, &c. " EDMUND HALSWELL, Chairman." Mr. HALSWELL moved that the report be received. Mr. STOCKS saidire hoped nothing would be done to in jure the licensed victuallers anal others who had music and dancing licenses; as they had incurred, and were incurring, heavy expenses in providing largo rooms, under a resolution of a former Court, which directed them to have rooms of certain dimensions and stability, under the direction of a surveyor. . . The report was ultimately received. Sir C. FORBES said, that in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Andrews, he had been reque,ted by that gentleman to move " to rescind the resolution of the Court passed at the last April Sessions respecting liceasing places for dancing and music under the statute '2sth of Geo. II." The Baronet observed that Mr. Sergeant Andrews was clearly of opinion that the resolution was contrary to the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and illegal. Some discussion - ensued, after which the motion was agreed to ; and the resolution (which has put many licensed persons to considerable trouble and expense) was resci►►ded. SUNDAY MORNING TRADING. Mr. BARBER. BRAUMONT, pursuant to notice, moved, " That in the opinion of the Court it would conduce to the peace and comfort of the public, if all houses for the sale of spirituous and other intoxicating liquids were kept closed on Sunday mornings until the conclusion of the parochial morning service, unless required to be opened for the refresh ment of actual travellers, and in such case that no intoxi cating liquors should be supplied 'until after the above named period " The evil had arrived at such a height, that it was universally admitted that some alteration in the pre sent system had become absolutely necessary, and he was sure that whatever measures that Court might adopt to re medy the evil would meet with the concurrence of the magi strates of Surrey and other adjoining counties. With re gard to any objection that might be expected from the pub licans, he could state as a fact that came within his own knOwledge, that many of the respectable persons belonging to that body wished to be relieved from the toil and slavery of keeping their houses open every day in the week, and to have an opportunity of attending Church on Sunday morning with their families. Sir CHARLES FORBES said he had great pleasure in se conding the nomination, approving of it generally ; yet he thought the latter part of it, relative to travellers, had bet ter he omitted, and that public-houses should be closed altogether on Sunday mornings. It would be impossible to tell who were, or who were not, travell_rs. Mr. BEAUMONT had no objection to omit that part. There were now so, many cheap coffee-houses established, where persons might procure necessary refreshments, that it was unnecessary there should be any public-houses open on the Sunday morning. Mr. STOCK said he was glad that the matter had been brought forward. Mr. BitouGuToN said the Court bid no power to do any thing effectual in the matter ; they should obtain an Act of Parliament. la• a ••• Mr. GIBSON said the simple. fact was, that so long as the Government derived so large a revenue from the sale of exeiscable liqnors, no Act of Parlianicnt would ever be pass-A-that would in any degree restrict the sale of them. Mr. BEAUMONT replied, observing, that net being a Member of Parliament, he was a free man—(Laughter)-- and, therefore, did not fear the publicans ; -they should not be too strong for him. The question was then put, and carried by a majority of eleven to six. THE HANWELL COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM. The 42d Report-of the Visiting Justices of the County Lunatic Asylum was read. Colonel CLITHEROE, in adverting to the appointMent of Dr. Morrison, as superintending physician to the Asylum, said he wished to call the attention of the Bench to a fact which he was sure would gratify them all ; there were more than six hundred patients in the Asylum, besides ser vants, say six hundred and fifty in the whole ; the me dicine that was required to be given in a recent month— was a glass of salts to a man, and a glass of wine to a poor woman. So much for the treatment and the salubrity of the Asylum. . . The Report was received.—The Court then broke up DINNER TO SIR ASTLEY COOPER. Tuesday the Royal College of Surgeons entertained Sir Astley Cooper, Bart., to dinner in the Royal Hotel. Be sides a numerous attendance of the College, there were present Dr. Abercrombie, Prefesiors Hope, Alison, Sir Charles Bell, Stc., and many medical gentlemen formerly in the public service. Sir George Battingsll, President, was in the Chair ; and Mr. LOthian, Treasurer, Drs. Gardiner and John Campbell, late Presidents, acted as croupiers. After the usual loyal toasts, the health of Sir Astley Cooper was drank with the warmest enthusiasm, which Sir Astley acknowledged in a speech of g reat good humour, and the utmost kindliness of feeling. He stated, that fifty years ago, in the year 1787, considering that his medical education could not be complete without studying in Edin burgh, he became - a pupil of Cullen, Black, Gregory, tk.c. He mentioned, that when he came to Edinburgh on Wednesday last, the first place to which he drove was his former lodgings in Bristo-street ; that amidst all the im provements in Edinburgh, he found the locality of his former residence very little changed ; that lie saw the very room and the closet, endeared by former recollections ; and that when he looked back upon those days, and reflected on the fame and success which had attended him through life, he was tempted almost to fall down on his knees, and thank that ProVidence which had so conducted him. Seeing so many teetnbers of the profession in the company; he affec tionately exhorted them to attain the utmost skill in their profession —never to attempt to rise by depressing another ; and never to let go their integrity and high moral chsrac ter. He paid high compliments to the great men under whom he had studied, and was delighted to find that the reputation of the U n iv ers ity w as s till upheld by those who had succeeded them. He highly approved of the adoption of Sir Charles Bell, as Professor of Surgery. In the course of the evening Sir G. Ballinghall announced that he had be en i n f orm ed by letter from the Lord Provost, who re gretted that his health would not allow him to be present at the meeting, as he • had been invited to be, that the free dom of the city of Edinburgh had that daybeen conferred upon Sir Astley, whose health he again proposed in the capacity of the youngest citizen of Edinburgh. Various toasts were given —to the gentlemen of the public service—to the Col leges of Surgeons and Physicians—and by Dr. Hope to the extra Academical Lecturers, whose co-operation with the University in upholding the reputation of the medical school of Edinburgh he trusted would long continue. The even ing was spent throughout in the utmost harmony, and the meeting did not separate till a late hour.--Edits. Courant. Miss P. Horton is stated in the American papers to have commenced an engagement at the:. Park TWtre New York, The Umperoit of Austria is said to have fixed his coronation at Milan for the month of August next.

John M•Gui e, Frederick Kirkham, Juba Clement, und WM. Pettier, were indicted for assaulting Daniel Nogin, Benjamin Brittain, and John Hiele, of the New Police, on the 29th of July last. Daniel Nogin stated that, on tl.e of Saturday, the 29th of last July, he was on duty in Winiam-street, Lis son-grove, when, hearing the cry of " P.:lice," he went to the tpot from whence it proceeded, an i at the doer of the Marquis of Anglesey public-house the defendant M'Guire was given in charge to witness for a robbery. Witness laid hold of him, and told him that he must go with him, upon which M'Guire instantly knocked him down and swore he would never be taken by a policeman. Brittain, an other officer, came to the assistance of witness, and he was also knocked down. S.:l'cm] persons then came out of the public-house together and kicked both him and Brittaiu as they lay on the ground, and they all declared that M'Guire should not be taken to the station-house. Benjimin Brittain, the other officer alluded to, confirmed the evidence of this witness, and added that, after he was knocked down, he received a desperate kick on the groin, that injured him so severely that he will never entirely re cover from the effects of it as long as he lives. He had been under the care of a surgeon ever since, and was not. new able to walk without crutches. Two other persons having confirmed the above evidence, Mr. C. Phillips addressed the Jury for the defendants. • The defendants did not call any witnesses. The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the defendants. The Cumamari, after commenting upon the brutal and unmanly attack made upon the prosecutors, proceeded to pass the sentence of the Court upon the defendants, which was, that M`Guire be imprisoned five months in the House of Correction ; Kirkham and Clements for one month each ; and Pettifer (who did not appear to have taken a very active part in the affray) was fined Is. and discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-110USE, Yesterday the Lot►o MAYOR receivzd the following let ter from the Rev. Mr. Learmouth, of Stromness, in an swer. to tic communication which his Lordship sent to that gentleman on the subject. of the condition► of the family of Mrs. Frazer, whose fearful adventures amongst the savages were lately published : " Mange of Stromness, Sept. 1, 1337. "My Lord—l hasten to comply with your Lordship's kind request to make you acquainted. wi:h the condition and circumstances of the fatherless children concerning whom you write. The eldest is a girl of sixteen years ; the other two are boys, the one twelve and the other seven years of age. For nearly two years they have received only 21/. for their support, and had it not been that they hod, when their mother left. them three years ego last May a little money, they must have been era now in the greatest desti tution. Their money has for some time b. en exhausted, and they are now subsisting u: , on what they receive from the grocers byre on credit. " Any sum of money which may be contributed for their support by the Christian and benevolent will be gladly re ceived ; and I am sure your Lordship could not have inter ested yourself on behalf of a family who have a stronger claim upon the sympathy and benevolence of the Christian community. 1 would humbly suggest to your Lordship that part of the sum of money which may be collected in Lon lon may be reserved for the children of Mrs. Frazer, and if it be entrusted either to me or the Kirk Session of S'romness due care will be taken that it is faithfully and judiciously appropriated to their support. In saying this I dO not mean to affect the interest of their mother in any respect, whose heart-rending tale of suffering 1 fully credit. I would now desire humbly to offer to your Lordship my sincere thanks for the interest you have taken in the case of Captain Fraz.q.'s family. who, committed as they ha% e been in the providence of God to my care, in circumstances so peculiarly alllcting, are fully entitled to whatever exer tion I can make to promote their comfort and welfare. I am, my Lord, your Lordship's most bumble and obedient servant, " PETER LEARMOUTH. " To the Right lion the Lord Mayor of London." His LORDSHIP stated that it gave him inexpressible gra tification to say that by the prompt and liberal benevolence of .the public a suns of money had been placed in his hands for the benefit of this family large enough to render per manent service to them. A few more contributions would, he stionb l take the liberty to state, enable him to do for them all that, under tie circumstances of the case, he could wish. Thomas Wright, cook and steward of the Vixen, applied to the LORD 'MAYon and Alderman Plats:, for a certificate, to entitle bins to receive from the owner, of the vessel the wages due to him from the time the Vixen quitted Constan tinople until she was captured by the Russians upon the pretext of violation of the blockade established on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. The Lotto MAYOR took h for granted that the applicant had been a prisoner at Odessa. Wright said that he was unlucky enough to be one of the captured on that occasion ; and so desperate a time he never before experienced. _ _ The LORD Mayon—We have had a statement of the facts. I don't suppose you can make any additi .n beyond the description of your own sufferings. Wright—l do assure you, my Lord, it was dreadful. When we Were 'leaving Constantinople it was for a new voyage. We had been paid up to the time of the comple tion of our voyage from England to that place, and we took in the salt for another voyage. We had four guns, and we fired off for a pilot, when we got amongst the Rus sian ships, for our Turkish pilot left us, for fear of being killed by the Russians, and there was good reason to fear, for there was never worse treatment than the Euglish got. The LORD AIAYOR—Did they take the salt out of the vessel ? Wright—Yes. They thought we had guns under the salt, and they took out aa the salt, and after detaining • us in prison, where-we were fed upon hiack bread for four months, they found that we had nothing of the kind, .03. d then the Emperor sent down word that we were quite at liberty to go away. The Loan MATOR—He was satisfied that you were not violating his blockade ? Wright—lie was graciously pleased to send down his compliments and his pardon to the crew of the Vixen, and to tell them that they were released, but the English Consul at . Odessa would not accept of it. The LORD MAYOR—How many of you were impri soned?—There were nine of us, including the captain and Mr. Moreton, one of the owners, in the same den together. Alderman Platu, after having asked the applicant several questions as to his claim, and leara , d from him that the Thames Pulice Magistrates had nut the cognizance of the slain, as the vessel was not in the River, said that he had no doubt of the justice of the demand. The LORD MAYOR expressed a similar opinion, and, in conjunction with the Alderman, signed a certificate to that effect. Wright said that the owners were perfectly willing to pay the arrears, but required the certificate as a matter of ne cessary form. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Mr. Alder, pawnbroker, of Berwick -street, was yesterday summoned before Mr. DYYR by an informer named Birch, for an alleged infraction of the Pawnbrokers Act. When the case was called on the informer intimated his desire to withdraw the information, as, on application at the Stamp Office, he had discovered a circumstance which vitiated it, but which laid Mr. Alder open to another in formation on another ground. Mr. Alder appeared to be reluctant to allow the infor mation to be withdrawn,but Mr. DYER said he had no power to go into the merits of the question, because the informer had a right to with hold his evidence. He therefore must dismiss the case. The informer hinted that he had some hundreds of cases against other pawnbrokers, on similar grounds. The question appears to be simply whether a pawnbro ker, having his name, &e., over the principal door of his shop, is likewise bound to have his name over every other deer which lie may choose should open into the same shop, for the accommodation of those persons who may wish to pledge their property with a greater degrea of privacy. HATTON-GARDEN. JOSEPH Any AGAIN. -- Yesterday Mr. Wakefield, a merchant, stated that the notorious Joseph My had sent him a letter stating that he could inform him of something to his advantage upon his advancing a sovereign. The ob ject of the money was a secondary consideration ; he merely wished to know whether Ally could be prosecuted if he, wore to advance the money. Mr. ROGERS—Pay him the money if you like I cannot advise with you. If you givc hint iuto ctis t o dy an d b r ; a6 , him here, perhaps 3rqu lAA) , rAake taut a ease against him. chargesliu4eof4 w whenas finallytbe e office was xmin ae d o unusually n v crowded by his victims. Mr. Flower attrndad fur the prliener. Mr. Smith, enach.niAnuctieturer, of No. 8, Little James- Areet i Chars lun-roai, p wed that about Ave weeks ago t he prisoner hired a chaise and of him, when he asked the price of it. Witness i him twenty-two .-uineas. The prisoner said that I ,irg to the country to see his father, and he would t. gnmmon" the old man to purchase it. He paid ten shillings for two days' hire, and he never brought it back again. The chaise, Sze., were traced to the poss.ess:en of Mr. Balls, livery-stable keeper, of Holloway. Mr. Balls proved that the prisoner, on the Zbth of August last called at his stables, and agreed for the hire of a grey mare, saying that he was going to see his father, at Toot. ing. He returned on the following day with the mare at. tached to a chaise, which was slightly injured, and asked witness lif he had a sound mare to dispose of. A bay mare was produced, and tried in harness, when he was in formed that the price would be twenty-five guineas. He seemed quite satisfied, and said he would take the animal to his father at Tooting, and if he approved of it he would return with the money aid the charge for hire, and that lie would leave his chaise as security for the return of the mare. He never returned, and the following Stt6ay . he met the prisoner in the New-road, and gave hit!: into cult* tody, when he promised to return the mere or pay the money if he (Mr. Balls) would accompany him to Tooting. He walked with him as far as Holborn, when he confessed that he had parted with it for nine pounds, at Robinson's in Little Britain. The property produced was identified I y the 1 rosccutor and other witnesses. Tile prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully ccm• mitted for trial. Several witnesses here presPA forward to exhibit fresh charges against the prisoner ; but Mr. Roctias told tbein they might attend and indict Om at the Sessions, as a suf ficiency of cases had been received. Margaret Bidner was finally examined, charged by Thomas Fisher, Esq., of No. 31, Queen-square, Blooms bury, with having robbed him of silver plate, a gold watch, and other valuable property, to the amount of nearly a 0 01. The prosecutor having been sworn, stated that the pri soner had been in his service durinc , the last eighteen months as housemaid, and implicit confidence wts reposed in her. On Tuesday last he discovered that a silver tea-pot was missing, and o❑ questioning the prisoner she said that' she had lea it with Mr. Simmons, a silversmith, to repair. Witness accompanied her•to Mr. Simmons, and found it to be a falsehood ; and on their return home, he discovered that. almost every article of his plate was missing, when the prisoner confessed having pawned the best part of it, and handed him 54 duplicates. On giving her in charge, and her being searched, 4S other duplicates were found, relating to the property stolen. Inspector Jenkins proved that the prisoner said in his presence, that the \thole of the property pledged belonged to the prosecutor. Ile had traced another t obbery to the prisoner. Mr. Fi.her stated to the bench that the prisoner's sister had been transported for a sintihr robbery ; and he had also ascertained that the person who recommended her to him represented herself as a lady's maid, when in fact she was her own sister. Mr. Ron Ens said he never heard d a nitre infamous robbery in all his life, cud the prisoner, who said nothing, was fully ronimitted for trial. UNION-IL.ILL. The landlords of two public huuics in the district of this office were summoned fur refusing to provide quarters for two recruits, billetted on them the preceding day. It appeared that one cf the recruits went witu his billet. which was furnished to him by the bitlettiug constable of Lambeth, t 1 the house of one of the defendants, and having produced the docum:-nt he was told that he could out be permitted to remain there, as there was no room in the house at the time. The recruit was therefore com pelled to go back again to the billetting constable, and he wasputto considerable inconvenience owing to the refusal. The defendant did not deny the fact of his having re fused to admit the soldiers, and said that he could give him no accommodation, unless he turned his own family out for that purpose. . . The magistrate read the clause of the Mutiny Act in re7orence to the rtfusal of publicans to give quarters to sohliers billetted on them, by which a penalty of .51., and not less than 405., had been foifeited.

THE PILOTAGE LAWS.—Yesterday Pt ease involving a question of Considerable importance ; first, as to outward bound vesi , els to Hamburgh being subject to the pilotage laws ; and, secondly, as to whether steam-ships come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, was decided at this office, and created very great interest among the pilots and steam-boat masters. The case came bjore the 111agistrate (Mr. BALLANTINE) in the shape of an informa tion againSt Captain James Anderson, master of the No: tle Slier steam-ship, who W4S charged with having on the 14th of May last acted as a pilot on board, in the parish of Gravesend, alter John Henry Burnett, a pilot duly licensed by the Trinity-house, had offered to take charge of the steamer ; whereby the defendant had forfeited the sum of 15/. 13s. being. dauble the amount a the sum which would have been demandable for the pilotage (f the ship. Captain Anderson pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, stated the ce fur the prose cution, and put in the consent to file the information from the Corporation of the Trinity House. Mr. BALLANTISE referred to the L9th section, and said he was of opinion that steamers ought to be exempt by the co►u►non sense of things. Pilots had- to reeeive a c:•rtain education before they were licensed ; but, however expert they might be in conducting sailing-vesscl.; it might require a d'ff , .Tent degree of skill to condtiet a steam vessel. A pilot superseded a muster in the cowman:la a ship, and the master of a steamer, it must be supposed, wa s ap pointed because be understood the nature of the engines and machinery. lie did not undersLnd how the new science was to be engrafted on the - ancient custom. How- ever expert a pilot might be as a seaman, he might be a very bad, eunriacer. Mr. rell7atn, after some further discussion and evidence, said the Trinity. House were very anxious for a decision on the point whether steam-vessels were subject to the Pilot age-laws, and by the opinion of the Bench they would in future be guided. The case was then gone into. _ _ John Henry Bennett then deposed that he was licensed as a pilot from London-bridge to Orforduess. On the 14th of May, he went on hoard the North Star, as she was leaving the Pool for Elamburgh. He produced his license, and tendered kis services. The captain said his orders were not to take a pilot. lie went down with the ship to Gra:csend, and again offered his services, which were re fused, and the captain told him if he continued in the ship be should take him to Hamburgh, and he left her and went ashore. Iti cross-examination by Mr, Walton, the defendant's solicitor, who very ably conducted the defence, and took several technical objections to the information, which were overruled, Bennett said he could have gone on to Or fondness if he had plc:iced. He knew if he had been taken to Hamburgh he could have claimed half-a-guinea a day de tention money. Mr. BunnEntr—Why did you not go on, and raise the question of half-a-guinea a day ? Mr. Bennett—Our or ders were to g..lt back as soon as possible. Mr. Walton—The pilot did not make an attempt to go to Orfordness. He stopped forty miles on this side of it. Mr. Bennett, in answer to questions from his solicitor, said if he had gone to Hamburgh it would have interfered with his duty, and a special license, moreover, was required. Mr. BnoDunti—Should you not have considered your self entitled to the hulf-guinea per day if you had gone to liamburgh ?—Mr. 11.:nnett—Yei, and the penalty to boot. Several pilots then gave evidence that it was the in variable custom of the Dutch traders to come in without pilots, but to take them on board on going outwards to Hamburgh. Mr. Walton contended that tho defendant was not liable to the pilotage, and that he came within the exemption of the 59th clause, and that vessels propelled by steam did not come within the meaning of the Act. He said it was the intention of the Legislature to exempt steam-vessels, and a Bill was brought in, which passed the Commons, and was sent up to the Lords, exempting steamers front pilotage ; but the late King's death stopped its further pro gress. lie also submitted that the case had &ilea, inas much as Bennett did not proceed to the limits prescribed in his license. Mr. BALLASTINE said the pilot was coerced, and com pelled to leave, by the threat of being taken to Hamburg. The captain plainly manifested Lis determination not to employ him, and the pilot was justified in quitting the ship. The case he knew was full of peculiarities, hut he was very happy to know that an appeal would set him right with the Commercial Steam-packet Company. The only question that remained for him to decide was, whether a steamer ought to take a pilot or not. If she had been coming in wards, the express terms of the Act of Parliament must have exempted the No,•th Slar. The Act of Parliament used the comprehensive terms " ship or vessel," He could not say a steamer was not a ship or vessel, because it was pro Anderson pelledbymchn aindioeul; the at pilt.tage, and. the costs. id he, therefore, convicted Cap tainßliODEßlP declined giving any opinion on the case. The penalty ant. .1 costs were immediately paid. - - PADIIIANI, COLNR, &C.—The area l.raa distress which has existod in these districts for the last few months is now, we are glad to say, considerably alleviated.
