CLEARED OUTWARDS IN BALLAST, MARCH 12. The Comet, Eden, for Riga. The day on which the late Emperor Francis of Austria was crowned with great pomp at Frankfort, was the memorable 14th of July, 1792—the day on which the Bastille was taken in Paris. Thus the Emperor's official life and the French revolution commenced together, and many were the occasions in which during 25 years, he was made to feel and fear for its progress. The following is an extract of a letter from Belize, Honduras, dated January 24 :—" During the night of Thurs day, the 22d instant, frequent reports, sounding like the dis charge of cannon, were heard here ; the supposition was im mediately formed that they were signals of distress from a vessel on the reef. Several small vessels immediately got under weigh, and to announce th.-t assistance was despatched, six rounds were fired from the fort. Yesterday afternoon his Majesty's schooner Firefly arrived from Truxillo, and intimated that the sounds had been caused by an eruption of a volcano situated about 60 miles inland of that town. The deck of the Firefly was even at that distance covered with ashes." CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Spread Eagle, Hackney, on the body of Miss Jane Cavannah, aged 20, the daughter of very respectable parents residing in the above parish. A man named Carr stated that about twelve o'clock on Thursday night he heard the cry of " Help, help," and on hastening to the canal at Cambridge-heath he saw the deceased struggling in the water. At that instant a gentleman came up and threw a rope to the deceased, but she was incapable of laying hold of it, and she sunk to the bottom. Witness procured the drags, and after the lapse of half an hour he got the body out of the water. A surgeon appeared on the spot, and when he examined the de ceased he said he thought she was not quite dead, but he made no attempt to restore animation. Mr. Baker, the Coroner, remarked that it was exceedingly neglectful of the surgeon : common humanity ought to have led him to resort to the usual means. He (the Coroner) had no doubt of the young woman being saved had the surgeon attempted to restore animation. The witness Carr stated that the owner of the flare and Hounds refused to have the body brought into his house, and the Coroner advised that the fact might be mentioned to the licensing Magistrates. The mother of the deceased deposed that on Thursday evening she had a few words with her daugh ter about some sewing, when the deceased flew into a violent passion, as was her practice when in the least p u t out of her way. In answer to questions witness said that the violent and turbulent disposition of the deceased was her only fault ; she was a highly accomplished girl, and had not long since com pleted her education at a boarding -school. Witness had no doubt the deceased threw herself into the water, having thrice before attempted suicide. The Coroner, after censuring the conduct of the surgeon and the keeper of the Hare and Hounds public-house, observed that, as there was no evidence to show how the deceased got into the water, he should advise the Jury to return a verdict of " Found Drowned," which ver dict was recorded. FRANK V. BASNETT. Mr. WIGRAM moved in this cause to discharge a special in junction granted by the Master of the Rolls to restrain the defendant from proceeding to the trial of an action at the pre sent Shrewsbury Assizes. The plaintiff and defendant had entered into an agreement to exchange certain lands, and to mane mutual arrangements, through which they expected to procure a better supply of water to their respective mills. The defendant having neglected to fulfil his part of the agree ment the plaintiff filed a Bill for an equitable performance. The Master of the Rolls decided in favour of the plaintiff; but pending the execution of the decree, and while the matter was before the Master, who had been directed to settle the terms of the agreement, the defendant, who had suffered loss from the non-fulfilment of that part of the plaintiff's contract which required him to build a bridge for securing a commu nication between the lands brought an action for damages. The plaintiff obtained a special injunction to stay this action ; and it was now contended, on the motion to dissolve, that this proceeding was irregular and contrary to practice. Mr. WAKEFIELD, on the other side, argued that the injunc tion ought nut to be sustained, as it was a contempt of the Court to commence an action for the purpose of working out any part of the decree of that Court. His LORDSHIP thought the injunction had been properly ob.. tained, and that the motion must be dismissed with costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LA Arcesnm, MARCH 18. CROWN COURT. Roger IVhitehead, an attorney, of Liverpool, was indicted for having, in September 1832, forged and uttered a mortgage deed, with intent to defraud Joshua Pollard and others. On the 17th October, 1827, the prisoner purchased same property at Berkenhead, from a person named Mellor, who had previously contracted for it with a person named Land, but no conveyance had been drawn out, and the conveyance to Whitehead was consequently executed both by Land and Mel lor. In 1829 the prisoner mortgaged the same property to a Mr. Fortune, and in 1832, being in debt to a Mr. Pollard, of Bradford, to whom he had given bills, &c., which were not duly taken up, he undertook to execute a mortgage of the Berkenhead property to him as security for his money. Ac cordingly, on the 6th or 7th of September, 1832, he delivered into the hands of Pollard's solicitor a deed, purporting to be a mortgage of the property, and it was deposited with Pollard's bankers. Last year the prisoner was made bankrupt, and it was then found that he had made two transfers of the same property, and that the various signatures in the deed delivered to Pollard's attorney were counterfeit. He was found Guilty.—Sentence deferred. ACCIDENT ON THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAIL WAY.—John Murphy, aged forty-six, was indicted for the manslaughter of Relp Thompson, an engineer. The prisoner is a policeman on the railroad, whose duty it is, among other things, to see that certain " switches," or moveable rails, by means of which trains of carriages pass from the St. Helens line of the railroad into the Liverpool and Manchester, are properly adjusted, so as to admit the easy and safe passage of trains across them. On the 20th of February the deceased was convoying the first class, or train, which travels at the rate of eighteen miles in the hour, from Liverpool to Manchester, when, at the Sutton incline, his engine came in contact with a " switch," which was out of its place ; the engine was thrown off the one line of road into another, and by the jolt, the en gineer was thrown under the train carriages and killed. Murphy being the policeman on that station the accident was attributed to his carelessness in not rightly adjusting the " switch." These facts were clearly proved. But in the de fence (by Dr. Brown) it was proved that the prisoner had other multifarious duties to perform, and that when the acci dent occurred he was actually engaged in the discharge of one of those duties. His LORDSHIP thought it too hard to indict the prisoner for neglect of one duty when he was engaged in another equally important. At the same time it was clearly the duty of the " policemen" to keep the line clear, whilst the Company were equally bound to provide a number of men adequate to the proper discharge of those duties. Dr. BROWN said he thought the occurrence would serve as a useful warning to the Company in the latter respect. CROWN COURT, FRIDAY, MARCH 20. MURDER OF A CUSTOMS' INSPECTOR AT LIVERPOOL. The Court was filled this morning with persons anxious to hear the trial of Norman Welch, formerly a weigher in the Custom House at Liverpool, charged with the assassination of his superior, Mr. Southgate, Inspector of warehouses in the Customs' department. The case has excited great interest throughout the county. So soon as Mr. Baron Parke took his seat upon the bench the prisoner was placed at the bar, and arraigned for the wilful murder of William Southgate, by shooting him with a pistol. He pleaded not guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having briefly stated the case witnesses were called. Mr. John Pike, appointer of weighers in the Customs at Liverpool, said—ln October last the prisoner was a third-class weigher, having previously been a third-class locker (a higher appointment). Mr. Southgate was a surveyor of warehouses. O n the morning of the 17th of October I was in the Custom House yard, "speaking to Mr. Southgate, when the• prisoner came from under an archway into the yard, and passed close by the right side. Mr. Southgate was opposite to me. He appeared to apprehend something. He stepped back, and I then heard the report of a pistol. The prisoner was about a yard from me. I looked at the prisoner and saw a pistol in his right hand. I saw the smoke come from the pistol. Southgate put his hand to his left breast and said, " I am shot." The prisoner threw down the pistol and said, " There." I went to Mr. Southgate. He was reeling, and with the assistance of James M‘Guffin and Joseph Graham, we took him to the office. I left and did not see him alive after. Sometime previous I heard the prisoner say, " I am a robbed man." He said he would make an example of some one. There were several persons present. Fisher—l am a landing waiter. I was coming out of my office into the yard, and I saw the prisoner coming from the direction of the street towards the yard. He had his hand in his right hand coat pocket. He appeared to be attempting to get something out of it. I saw him pass through the middle arch into the yard. He had a pistol in his hand. I instantly heard a report. I could not see the object. There was a wall between. I then saw Mr. Southgate pass with his hand on his left breast. Cross-examined—l have known prisoner ten years. I have known him well for three or four years. I cannot say as to his sanity. He was much addicted to drink. I cannot say that his mind was affected by it. His behaviour has been strange. Morrice Matthew George Dowling—l am superintendent of the dock police. I saw the prisoner on my way to the spot. He was in custody. I saw Mr. Southgate, and had some dis course with him. He died on Sunday the 19th, on the day he was shot. I observed a wound on the left side, as of a ball. The day after I went to the town bridewell and saw the prisoner. I found him perfectly clear. I saw nothing of in sanity about him. He said he had six balls, five he had thrown in the street on his way from the shop to the Custom-house, for he knew he should want but one. I told him I had sat up with Mr. Southgate the night before, and that he had said he had not spoken to the prisoner for six months before. The prisoner said it was true. I told him I had very little hopes of his recovery. The prisoner said " I hope he wont die, but if he does he will go to heaven." He said two years before, Mr. Southgate had reported him in consequence of thirteen pieces of calico having been missed, but of which he knew nothing. That in consequence his family lost 20/. a year. That subse quently Mr. Southgate had found him eating his dinner on a cask, and said that was not the place for a custom-house officer to eat his dinner. The prisoner asked where he should go, and Mr. Southgate said, "Up the entry." The prisoner said, "If I go there, you will report me absent." That at other times Mr. Southgate had come and said, " Where is that . _ wretch ? I don't - see him—l suppose he is drunk." The pri soner told me he had drank very hard of late, which had kept up a constant excitement. On the situation in which he had placed his family being mentioned, he became agitated, and cried. In answer to questions, he said he had taken leave of his family in the morning, as he did no t ex p ec t t o re t urn again. He afterwards said he had got into a row in Ireland ; was much beaten till he was out of his mind ; and that since then liquor much affected him. He did not exhibit any signs of insanity in my presence. The interview lasted about three quarters of an hour. Frederick 'Williams—l was searcher. I recollect the 16th, being in the dock when Mr. Quayle was landing-waiter. I was there. I heard the prisoner say he had been robbed of nearly 201. a year ; that Mr. Southgate had robbed him of nearly 201. a year ; and that they (Mr. Southgate and himself) had been too long in the service. " We shall both resign to gether ; my purpose is fixed, settled, determined." He fol lowed in a few steps, and said, " Mr. Southgate and myself have been too long in the world togethar ; one of us shall go." I told him not to speak so rashly. He said he hoped they should both go to heaven together. He was walking up and down in a very wild manner. His eyes rolled about when he spoke. I did not think he was of sound mind. Dr. Jervis—ls a physician. but has ceased to practice for ten years. Was surgeon of the Lancashire militia in 1.814 and 1815. The regiment was then stationed at Limerick, in Ire land. Remembers an affray between the privates and the Irish, and w h en pr i vates were carr i e d i nto th hospital, and the witness attended them, they had received bruises and cuts about the head. Remembers distinctly its being stated that some of the wounds had been produced by bayonets, and he doubted it. They were chiefly on the crown, and at the back of the head, and they were severe wounds. All the men were in a state of insensibility. Could not identify the prisoner as one of the men, but he firmly believed him to be one. He could not state generally, but he distinctly remembered that there was not one of them who was not more or less liable to ill consequences from the injuries, and if in any individual of the seven there had existed any predisposition to aberration the injuries were sufficient to aggravate it. Cross• examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—This is nearly twenty-one years ago. I have a distinct remembrance of the prisoner's features, but cannot swear that ho was one of the Lawrence Egan, a landing-waiter at the Liverpool Custom House for many years, narrated an occurrence illustrative of the violent demeanour of the prisoner on the occasion of the Coronation of George the Fourth. The men said of him then that nobody minded him,,for he was mad. The witness con siders him much worse now than formerly. It was always said .that he was half mad, and the least thing excited him. The Learned JUDGE summed up at great length, when The Jury consulted about five minutes, and returned a ver dict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in an impressive address, sentenced the pri soner to be executed on Monday morning, and his body to be interred within the precincts of the Castle. The body of the Court was crowded to excess. The case occupied eleven hours. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SrapF•oRn, MARC!! 20. Jonathan Motham was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Motham, in September last, in the parish of littoxeter. On being desired to plead the prisoner said, " What of ?" and being told that he was charged with the murder of his wife cried out " Not that I know." The Jury were then empanelled to try the prisoner's sanity. Mr. Hughes, the surgeon of Stafford Gaol, stated that the prisoner was suffering from a tumour in the eye, and that he had no doubt the tumour, by pressing on his brain, affected his mind. The prisoner here cried out—" D—n your eyes." The Jury found him insane, and he was removed from the bar. Mary Craddock was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant female child, in August last, in the parish of Cannock. Mary Handley, examined by Mr. LEE—I am the prisoner's 'mother. My daughter is married, but has not been living with her husband during the last two years. In June last; she came to live with her father and me. On Wednesday, the' 27th of August, she was confined of a girl. The prisoner remained in my house only forty-eight hours after the birth of the child. Her father ordered her out of doors, and said his house was no fit place for her. This was only two days after the birth of the child. She took the child with her. She She was in a very weak state. She said she had a nurse to take the child to. The prisoner returned in about two hours, and did not bring the child with her, and said she had left it with Jane Brooks, who is mother to Thomas Picken. Next day, I said, " I wondered how the lovely babe was ?" She said it was well off, she wished she was so well. William Barnes, a wheelwright, found the body of a new born female child in a ditch in Norton Ley's Wood covered with grass and tern, and put the child in a basket. Mr. Holland, surgeon at Cannock. The child had a hand kerchief round its neck tied in a fast knot. The bAy bore no marks of violence. The handkerchief was so tied as partially to impede respiration. My opinion is that the child died partly from suffocation, partly from cold. By the JUDGE—The death of the infant might have been produced by the mother fainting upon it. The prisoner, upon being called on for her defence, gave in a paper, stating that she had been turned out of doors by her father two days after her confinement. That she took the way to Cannock. That having got as far as Norton Ley's Wood, she grew weary and fainted. When she recovered she found herself lying on her infant. It died in two or three minutes. She tied a handkerchief round its neck, put it in the drain, and pulled a quantity of fern to cover it. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up to the effect that the probabilities were strongly in favour of the prisoner's story. Verdict—Not Guilty. Henry Carter, Lewis Spilsbury, James IVoolridge, and William Farrell were indicted for the wilful murder of Joseph Johnson, a respectable farmer, on the 27th of December last, at Weston-bank, in this county. After some witnesses had been examined, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-CAMBRID GE, MOWN 20, HENSLOW, CLERK, V. CANHAM. This was an action to recover the penalty of 500!., for bri bery committed at the late election for the borough of Cam bridge : the defendant pleaded that he " did not corrupt " the voter, as the declaration alleged. The defendant is, or lately was, clerk to Mr. Alderman Stevenson, a bookseller in this town, and took an active part on the Tory side in the recent election. He called at the house of a voter of the name of William Thompson, a cabinet-maker, in the week preceding the election, and after a few general observations told the latter that he wished him to go and have a glass of ale, and that he wanted him about something particular. The witness, who had known the defendant for thirty years, accom panied him to the Pickerell Inn, and in their way thither, asked him " how he meant to vote? " to which Thomp son answered that he should vote for whom he thought proper. They had each a glass of ale, and the defendant then left him, saying he would call again soon. On the day of nomi nation accordingly he called again, and Thompson's apprentice being in the shop at the tim e , th e d e f en d ant t h rew d own 6 d ., and desired him to go and get a pot of beer, which he did. During his absence the defendant asked the voter if he had a pen and ink, adding, " Now I'm going to do something good for you." There was no ink in the shop, and Thompson went and borrowed some of a neighbour, Mr. Linley, and upon his return the defendant tore a leaf out of his pocket-book, and wrote something upon it, which he gave to the defendant ; it was a note of hand in the following form :—" I 0 U seven guineas. For R. C. No. 569." This he gave to the voter, at the same time telling him that "it was an order for seven guineas." Thompson then asked him, " What is it for ?" to which the defendant replied, " It's to vote for Knight ; to give Knight a plumper." Thompson inquired what was the reason the defendant wished him to vote for Knight in particular ? and the defendant made no reply to that, but said " I may depend on your voting for Knight ?" The defendant promised to call or send for Thomp. son on the following day, and observed to him, " You'll go down to the poll with the man that will come for you, and when he secs the number on the order, he'll pay you the seven guineas." The witness took the I 0 Uto Mr. Rice's com mittee-room, and went on the following morning and voted for that gentleman and Mr. Pryme. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 500!. The Grand Jury have returned a true bill against Robert Canham, the defendant in the foregoing action, for several distinct misdemeanors, in attempting to bribe electors of this borough to vote for Mr. Knight at the recent election, and Mr. Gunning moved fora Bench warrant for his apprehension. WESTERN CIRCUIT. —EXETER, MARCH 21. The Commission was opened here on Tuesday last. The calendar contains seventy-seven names, of which four are charged with murder, seven with arson, two with unnatural offences, and one with rape. There are thirty-four cases en tered for trial. CROWN COURT. Samuel Davey was charged on the Coroner's Inquest with the wilful murder of his son Henry, aged ten weeks, by with holding from him necessary sustenance. The Grand Jury ignored the bill ; and Mr. Baron Gurney told the Jury that it was the mother and not the father that should supply suste nance to a child of that age, and, consequently, that the pri soner should be acquitted. Verdict—Not Guilty. Samuel Gibbons, aged 18, was indicted for having, on the 4th of November last, maliciously set fire to a rick of wood, the property of James Daniel. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence of death recorded. .2Wary Hamlyn was charged with having on the 16th of SepteTber set fire to a stack of corn, the property of John Baill. The Jury found that she did the act while in a state of mental insanity. Verdict—Not Guilty. Samuel Johns was charged with having set fire to a wheaten raow, the property of John Harris. Verdict—Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. Saturday Sir PETER LAURIE waited upon the LORD MAYOR for the purpose of informing his Lordship that he had rea son to suppose that although Joseph My is in prison, the old system is carried on, and the public is still subjected to im position by the promise of some pecuniary advantages. A gentleman named Dixon, of No. 75, St. Paul's Church yard, received a few days ago a note, of which the following is a copy :_... Old Bailey. " Sir,—By transmitting the writer the sum of twenty shil lings, he will communicate something to your advantage. " JOSEPH ADY. " P. S. The best way of transmitting the above small sum would be to leave it at 17, Sydney -street, Commercial-road." The LORD MAYOR said it was quite evident that the writ ing was not Ady's, and he supposed that a man in Ady's situ ation, doing penance in gaol for a serious offence, would scarcely be capable of an act of the kind. The commuta tion of the sentence from seven years' transportation to one year's imprisonment was an act of mercy to the prisoner, and it was very improbable that he would call down upon himself the whole vengeance of the law. Besides, no doubt those kind persons who interceded for him to the King never con templated a repetition of the offence. Sir PETER LAURIE said that if Ady was not himself con cerned in the transaction somebody was doing him great mis chief, and under all the circumstances he thought it would be expedient to put the public on their guard. The writing in the letter just quoted appeared to be that of Ady's clerk, upon a comparison with that of several letters in the posses sion of Mr. Hobler. The LORD MAYOR—I trust that if the practice is continued by any one, those who are addressed will supply all the infor mation, and I shall use my exertions to put an effectual check to it. HATTON-GARDEN. On Saturday, a dapper little hair-dresser, residing in Bag mgge-wells, was charged with assaulting and beating his wife. The defendant, it appeared, had a shrewd suspicion that, dur ing his absence, an " elderly gentleman" had too much engaged the attention of his wife, and he therefore determined to make " assurance double sure" before he proceeded to extremities. He accordingly pretended to go out, but kept a strict watch upon the conduct of his " better half," and had "confirmation strong as proof of holy writ" that she had behaved in the " most improperest way. For such barbarous conduct he well lathered her round the room with a thick shoe." These facts having come out in evidence, the magistrates discharged discharged the barber without paying the usual fee to the King. MARYLEBONE. On Saturday a dirty looking man, one of the old police, was charged with lurking about for the purpose of appropriating other people's property to his own use. He was seen by a policeman between 4 and 6 o'clock, standing beside an area railing in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy -square, as if on the look out, and on going up to him, police constable Moore, 16, E, found a stick in his hand, with a hook, of sufficient thickness to carry a large weight, which s a ti s fi e d him that the prisoner meditated felony. He therefore took him into custody. The stick, which was exhibited to the magistrates, was upwards of ten feet in length, and in every respect fitted for felonious pur poses. The prisoner had formerly been committed for one month for the same offence. He was now sentenced to two months at the tread-mill. W RSH IP- S TREE 7'. On Saturday Jasper Breadmore, a good-looking young man, pot-boy to Mr. Green, of Vaughan -terrace, City-road, was charged by Mrs. Margaret Chapman, an independent old lady, residing in Cross-street, Wenlock-road, with robbing her of a handsome silver watch and appendages. The prosecutrix, who is a singular old dame, wearing spectacles, was a widow, and had been so some time. She knew nothing whatever of the prisoner, and had never seen him before the preceding ( Friday) evening, when she met him going round with his beer, and-being very thirsty, she asked him to serve her" with half-a-pint, which he did, and she paid him a penny for it. While drinking it, " something struck her that he was a very fine young man," and they entered into conversation, in the course of which the prisoner said that he wanted to speak to his sister, who lived a door or two below, and perhaps she would accompany him there, and wait for him. " Agreed," the prosecutrix immediately retorted ; and they went, as she thought, to his sister's, and he left his beer-tray outside on e step of the door. They went up-stairs into a room, and re together for some minutes ; all at once he made a snatch at her watch, and the guard round her neck broke in two, and he ran with it out of the house. Mr. 13notl0HroN.—What sort of a house was this that you went into Prosecutrix (hesitating.) —Why, by its appear ance, it was a queer one, your worship ; but, believe me, I had no wrong intentions towa r d s th e young man, and I didn ' t think he had any to me. Mr. BROUGHTON.—What do you mean by a queer one ; was there a bed in the room? Prosecutrix.—l don't like to say, but I suppose I must. There was, your worship, but I thought it was his sister's that he took me to. Mr. BROUGIITON.—IIid anything improper take place be tween you? Prosecutrix.—Why, why—Oh, dear ! yes, there did. He kissed me on the cheek; nothing more, I assure your worship. Mr. BROUGHTON.—Why, I suppose you are 60 at least. Prosecutrix.—Yes, more, your worship ; I am 67. Mr. BROUGIITON.—Pray, was there anything to pay for the room ? Prosecutrix.-011, dear ! I would not have brought him here if I had known all this. When we got into the room he asked me if I had any money ; I said I had, and gave him a shilling. A policeman said the house was a notorious one, in Nel son-place, City-road. Witness met the prosecutrix as she was coming out. She appeared as if she had been drinking, and complained of having been robbed. She described the prisoner, and witness w en t an d too k hi m i nto custody, and found the watch upon him. The prisoner denied some points of the prosecutrix's evi dence, and stated that it was by her own desire he went into the house with her. He never represented the place as his sister's, and she gave him the watch to take care of. Mr. BROUGHTON said the facts of the case were most ex traordinary, and these was no accounting for taste ; bat he was more inclined to believe that the prisoner went with the old woman (who must have been minus her senses at the time) for the purpose of robbing her; for no young man could be so mad as to take a fancy to an old woman bordering on seventy. The prisoner was then remanded for the depositions to be taken against him, when he will be removed to Newgate for trial on the capital charge. LAMBETH. STREET. Mr. Farrell, proprietor of the Pavilion Theatre, and Messrs. Conquest and Gomersal, of the Garrick Theatre, attended before Mr. Walker, who had requested their appearance. Mr. WALKER said that he had received a letter from the Bishop of London, stating that a complaint had reached his Lordship of two pieces, founded on Scriptural subjects, which had lately been produced at the above theatres. In conse quence of this communication he (Mr. Walker) attended at the Garrick, and watched the progress of the piece with all possible discrimination in his power, but could not perceive in it the slightest matter of objection. This he had communi cated to his Lordship at an interview with him, and he was perfectly satisfied with the representation he had made upon the subject. His Lordship disclaimed all intention to act with fastidiousness on the occasion, yet still he was obliged to act as he had done after a complaint had been forwarded to him. He (Mr Walker) had therefore sent for the proprietors of the theatres to acquaint them with the feelings of the Bishop of London, and his decided objection to the principle of the in troduction of Scriptural pieces on the stage, feeling assured that the proprietors would, as they had done on many occa sions, act upon the Magistrates's suggestions. The proprietors of the respective theatres assured his Wor ship that nothing was more distant from their wishes than that of introducing any subject calculated in the slighest degree to detract from the solemn and proper respect for the sacred Scrip tures, and pledged themselves not to incur any displeasure by deviating from the wishes of the Bishop of London. THE ARMY. (From the United Service Gazette.) The Ist Dragoon Guards will move to Birmingham from Dorchester next month, to be relieved, it is expected, by the 12th Lancers now at Birmingham. The sth Dragoons, stationed at Manchester, under com mand of Major Scarlett, proceed to Piershill Barracks, Edin burgh, next month, to relieve the Scots Greys, which march to Leeds. Two companies of the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards arrived at the Infantry Barracks, Brighton, on Monday, to re- Hove the squadron of Foot Guards which had been left to do palace duty. Lieut. Close, of the 28th, has died at Berhampore of the wound he received in a duel some time ago. The service companies of the 37th, at Jamaica, have ex- changed quarters with those of the 84th at the same place. Lieut.-Colonel Brock, of the 55th, and Lady have arrived in England from India. Major Young of the 79th, has obtained leave of absence from Canada for England. Captain Richard Hort, of the 81st, extra Aide-de-Camp to Lieut.-General Sir Hussey Vivian, Bart., has declined the offer made to him of an appointment on the staff of Sir Henry Pane, G. C. B. Leiters received from the 83d Regiment at Halifax, N. S., to the 20th of February, state the officers and men to be in good health. - Captain Clarke, of the 84th, has been presented with a very complimentary address for his services in promoting order and industry during his Magistracy at Jamaica. Major Nicholl is is the next senior Officer in command to the lamented Lieute nant-Colonel Keyt, C. 8., who died at Maroon-town, Jamaica, on the 16th of January. As many years were passed by this distinguished Officer in the duties of the high rank he held in his regiment as would have sufficed to carry up a person through all the subordinate grades of the service. It is said that he had been twenty years a Lieutenant-Colonel. The merit which had earned for him the distinction of a C. B. was sus tained without ostentation. His kind and affable conduct in society, his polished yet unassuming manners, rendered him not merely respected but endeared wherever he was known. The removal of his regiment from the district only twenty-four hours before his death, %bile he lay without the hope of life, gave a melancholy interest to the separation of his Officers from their respected commander. The last attentions and the last honours were paid to him by those who had been strangers to his merit in private life, though not unacquainted with his meritorious public services—the Officers of the 37th. Though the depot of the 98th are mentioned as being under orders for Ireland no official notification has yet been received on the subject. The service companies are at the Cape, and their term of duty nearly expired. The following Officers have retired from the army this week ; Cornet Lindsay, 16th Light Dragoons ; Captain Davis, 35th Foot ; Lieutenant Longmead, 18th Foet ; Lieutenant Baxter, 57th Foot; and Surgeon E. Bush, 93d Foot, on half-pay. The packet-ship Europe got on shore on Wednes day afternoon, near the Clarence-dock, Liverpool, in conse quence of the breaking of the rope of the steamer in which she was in tow. The Andromeda also got on shore near Spence's Gut, and an American ship in the New Channel. The weather was quite moderate. It is rather extraordinary that so little notice has been taken of the ruinous extent of the penalties upon the newspaper proprietors which it is the object of the Solicitor- General's Bill to rescue from the grasp of the informers. Pu nishments and penalties should be proportioned to the offences or the omissions which they are intended to correct ; but what must be thought of the justice of a law which inflicts upon one printer, and that under colour of a mere quibble, a greater amount of pecuniary forfeiture than the accumulated fines in flicted in one Term by the highest Criminal Court of Judica ture in the kingdom for all the offences brought before it from all parts of the kingdom ?

(From the Devonport Telegraph.) DEVONPORT, MARCH 2 1.—Letters from the British squa dron on the coast of Spain state that the Pique, new frigate, had met with very severe weather off Santander, but had sus tained no material damage. She has proved fully equal to ex pectation, and was to sail on an experimental cruise off Cape Finisterre, with the Castor and Ringdove, to tty their respec tive qualities together. The second master of the Pique had been placed under arrest, in consequence of some com plaint relative to his station on the lower deck, which was re ported to the Captain, and it was expected that he would leave the ship. Lord John Hay was in great favour with the Spaniards, and was indefatigably attentive to British interests. A stir had been made by the Spanish authorities on account of the extent to which gambling had been carried on between some of the officers of the squadron and the inhabitants. They complained to the Consul, who applied to Lord John Hay, and begged his interference. Lord John accordingly issued written orders, forbidding gambling on board or on shore, much to the annoyance of those who were innocent. The Athol troop-ship is reported to be lost off Nassau, with invalids from the squadron and army, of whom 45 only were said, at Jamaica, to have been saved. Captain P. L.
