STATE OF THE COUNTRY. YORK, AUG. took Hull in my way from Lincoln to this place, as well to see the third rate sea-port town in the kingdom, as to have some accounts of those grumblers of the shipping interest, who have for years been railing against Mr. Huskisson, and pressing on him the certainty of their destruction if the new system were continued. Among the first objects that attract a stranger's notice on entering the plac e is the extensive dock, which is on the point of being finished. This dock was commenced about twe) years ago, and has been carrying on with great spirit ever since. Though the 'ship ping interest in that quarter is entirely ruined, according to the accounts of the grumblers, and they had two large docks before, besides the river Hull, it appears that they have not yet sufficient room for their vessels, and have calculated on it being a good concern to cut out another dock, at the expense of more than 100,0001. If the shipping of the country were in the state they would fain make people believe, would these proprietors—Yorkshiremen, too—be so foolish as to make swch an addition to their esta blishment ? The real state of the case is, these gentlemen cannot make such enormous profits now as they did during the war, and they vent their ill-humour against the new system without rhyme or reason. A gentleman of this place, who appeared to be well acquainted with the question, informed me that great numbers of ship-masters, who understood their trade, and could attend to their affairs themselves, and be content with a moderate profit, were doing a good deal of business. The chief of the loss had fallen on men who had speculated during the war, who knew nothing of the trade, but in- trusted the management to others at a great ex pense and loss ; and when the profits could not meet the expense, they attributed all the evil m ost inconsistently to the free-trade system of Mr. Huskisson, An American gentleman, who had just come from New York, and who joined in the conversation, said that the complaints against Mr. Huskisson in that place were far more vio lent and bitter than here. Since he had intro duced his new measures, in 1825, their shipping trade had fallen off nearly one-half, and one and all of them prayed that he might ultimately be deprived of the power of carrying them fully into effect. So much for the benefits conferred on foreigners by the Wee-trade system. I may add (for the opinion of an iiiftlligent and im partial man like this is of great moment), that Jae informed rise that he was connected with a firm which made use of a large quantity of grain in the course of the year ; hut, so far were they from crediting the accounts in the papers of the hopeless state of the crops, that they had not purchased one quarter more than the usual quan tity, for which they had immediate use. People are not inclined to give much credit to such re ports, when they find that in their own neigh bourhood, instead of the grain being either de fective in the ear or destroyed by the rains, it is much better than an average crop. From Lin coln to York, all an agricultural country, I did not see more than three fields at all injured. In the low marshy land between .Hull and Bever ley the country had been partially flooded, et id, a few fields of hay and beans had been nearly destroyed; but, to bring forward a spot of this description to prove thit the crops in general bad been irretrievably ruined, is the most barefaced impudence that can be imagined. I ne ver heard any opinion more general (and have conversed with individuals from almost every part of Yorkshire) than that the crops are uncommonly good, and not at all injured by the rain. I met a band of Forty-shillineers, pat re turned from the neighbourhood of lioldernesß, -there they had been employed in cutting down the ern, and their statement was " a capital crop cut, and all nearly in, and in good con dition.' if shall have done with this subjrct in a few words ; but .1 cannot leave it without bear ing testimony to the admirable system of farming adopted all the way from Hull to York. The land is all in an excellent state of cultivation ; every field so free of weeds—the edges and plan tations in such good order—and the farm-houses, scattered .thickly up and down the country, so neat and co mfortable -looking—that a man can not believe his senses if the agricultural interest ;a so depressed as the landlords, last Session, would make Parliament believe. The weather is uncommonly hot, with every appearance of continuing good ; and, taking every thing into account, it is extremely probable that the late rains, instead of having produced mischief, in a general point of view, have had a different effect. They have been most beneficial in the lighter ;c.iils; and I trust that in the accounts which may give you from the North, where the harvest is later, I shall be able to give an equally satis factory statement, The perfectio n to which travelling in this part country has been carried—what from -, eau aboats and the convenience and excellence of time .:93c117—seerris to have inspired the in habitants 51 . 1 ., - 1 a sort of man i a f or excurs i ons . Two steam-boaLe ~;s et out from H u ll y ester d a y, a t the same time, with fin:a ..3oo on board of each, nearly as thickly crammed toge*er as sheep in a pen in Smithfield , f or the p ur p ose of havin g a view of the ocean at the mouth of the ihni - iber ; and, just as they were leaving, a third arr i ve d from Gainsborough, with 250 off board, most of them with no other object but pleasure. O ne could not have a better specimen of the superior mode of travelling in this country than in going from Lincoln to Hull. Three or four coaches pass every day. O n reaching the Humber at Barton, a steam-boat is ready to receive the pas sengers ; they have merely to step from the quay into the boat, and in half an hour they are landed, aft e r a voyage of seven miles, for a shilling a head. In most other countries one would be tormented with passports, custom-house -officers, and other innumerable annoyances, which pre vent every man from leaving his home but on #:ome urgent business. This journey, a distance a 43 miles, is performed in five hours.. In m ost partss of Italy, anti Spain and Portugal, it would ratelire two days, besides the infliction of doing penance in some uninhabited inn, and running the risk of falling into the hands of ban ditti. 'The description of views is generally un interesting ; but I cannot help mentioning that, from the high ground above B es• eracy, you see - York Minster, about 25 miles distant, and a rich plain extending for abOut 30 - mi l es b e f ore you, and on each hand. This magnificent Ca thedral is 1101 V fitting up for the grand Musical festival on the 23d of next month, and the inn keepers and other good. people of York are looking forward with great satisfaction to th e satins which they shall make on the occasion. A company is said to have been recently f.lrmed, who offer, for an annual subseription, to keep up the monuments in the cemeteries of Paris, and supply ;towers and garlands.. The company also proposes to com pose i nscriptions a prose and verse.— G align an - ." 4 Mfr . itnpr, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, Sept. 1.) Lisuos, AUG. 16.—The Constitutionalists have endeavoured to spread a: report of the speedy depar ture of the Spanish Legation. Such an assertion is absurd, at the noment when Spain concurs with all its power to make' the cause of legitimacy triumph in Portugal ; its intentions in this respect are known to all Europe, and the intimacy between the two Courts has never been more close than it is at this moment ; there is no better proof of this than the activity which is perceived in the intercourse between the two Courts, anti the favour which the Spanish Minister enjoys with our young Sovereign. The most perfect harmony still prevails between Don Miguel and his illustrious Mother. This Prin cess, whose superior mind has always discerned the true interests of Portugal, continues to direct her attention to State affairs, and her son makes it his duty to consult her on all occasions, and to show her the greatest respect. The letters from the Provinces are satisfactory, and we hope that the reduction of Madeira will soon complete the general pacification of this kingdom and its dependencies. PARIS, AUG. 31.--We announced ten days ago that the campaign against the Turks was finished, and that, in our opinion, the Russians would not reach Constantinople this year. All the accounts which have since reached Paris tend to confirm what we advanced on this . subject. Negociations are opened tinder auspices which give reason to hope a result favourable to the peace of Europe. Some persons pretend that the news of an armistice is pre mature, hut letters from Vienna speak of it as cer tain ; however, if there is not an armistice by agree ment, there is one in fact, the defence prepared by the Turks having placed the Russians under the ne cessity of suspending their operations till the arrival of fresh troops, who will require much time before they will arrive at Shurala. We still persist in our opinion, that the intercession of some European Cabinets has not been without influence on this suspension of arms. - A letter from Frankfort, of the 26th of August, says-•--" It has been reported since yesterday, that Field Marshal Prince Philip, of Hesse Romberg, died on his way to the Russian head-quarters." (From the illessgger des Chambres, Aug. 31.) PARIS, AUG. 30.—The news of the occupation of Mahon by French troops, announced at Lloyd's Coffee-house, is destitute of foundation. It is in that port that the skips employed in the blockade of Algiers go to revictual ; but they stay there only a short time. We are ignorant what can have given rise to this strange piece of news. (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, AUG. 31.—We have received the follow ing letter from Vienna, dated August 20, which places the affairs of Turkey and Russia under a new point of view : The news of the arrival of the Emperor Nicholas at Odessa, is, for the ('abinet of Prince Metternich, a sort of 28th bulletin, on which the Turcopkileg found the greatest hopes. The funds have risen. The armaments of Austria are hastening; it is sup posed that they are intended to take part in a great political catastrophe, and the excitement produces so many rumours that Madame de Tatischef has re solved to proceed to Odessa, in order not to be in the midst of the society of this capital. Those who attend to passing events imagine that the partisans of Turkey may repent of their intrigues; for what f shall now state seems certain. The Emperor, after having proceeded with considerable forces on the side of Shumla, in order to keep the Turks in check there—who will not he long before they dis band for want of provisions, and after having pro vided for the siege of Varna, has returned to Bessa rabia. For this he has had several reasons. He wished to free his head-quarters from the Ambassa dors' agents and diplomatists, who were very much in his way, and by concentrating them at Odessa he has placed them beyond his line of operations, and cut short the bulletins which they circulated. Hence forth the operations will only be known when they are executed, and the enemy will not again be in formed of the Russian movements. In listening to the proposals of the Turks the Emperor will not relax his operations. If they treat for an armistiea on the side of Shumla, the war is actively carried on at Routchouck. The fight and the general shock will take place about the sth of September. Before that time we have heard that Nicholas, well con vinced that the words of the Turks cannot be relied on, will leave Bessarabia at the head of his guards, and a fourth army which is organizing in that pro vince, and will advance rapidly. Either by treaty or by fighting, the Turks must be driven towards the south of the Balkan before the Equinox. An armistice has been talked of, but the Turks have always been answered that they must first evacuate Varna, Shumla,; and Routchouck, so that the right bank of the Danube shall be left in the power of the Russians. Snch is the real state of things. (From the Journal flea Debats.) Naig, AVG. 31.—The news from Shornls, by Berlin, is of August 8, or five days later than the departure of the F.mperor, and nothing direct from that place confirms the reports of an armistice re peated by the letters from Odessa. On the con trary, the troops had been sent from the principal corps of the Russian army to reinforce Prince Menz choir, who commands the siege of Varna. The possession of this place seems to be thought essen tial to a serious movement of the Russians into the heart of Turkey. The fighting under the walls of Shumla continues. _ _ _ Great exertions are making to fortify. Grenoble Barracks are shortly to contain 15,000 men, and ex tensive fortifications are about to be erected. Doubts are entertained whether these fortifications have long been ordered, or only now resolved on in con sequence of the designs of Austria on Piedmont.— Precurseur de Lyoni. Nearly 1,500 persons went to Margate by the steam-packets on Saturday last ; the charge was only ss. A head, and a further reduction is expected fin. Saturday next, to 39. per head. The ri.iil l i;;.ess of Dr. PARR to ladies was sometimes eXtreme. TA 3 lady who had ventured to op pose him with more warmth of temper than cogency of reasoning, and who afterwards apiil.Tised for herself by saying, " that it is the privilege of women to talk non `1"1"."—" No, madam," replied Dr. PARR, " it is not their privilege, but their infirmity. Ducks would walk if they could ; but nature suffers them only to waddle." It la soMe time since We revp;fleil the intrigues J o t , : extend and censnlid nion in Ital y , • ' of Austria, with a vie ate its domi thou toot, the Austrian Obse r rer, official journal of 41. .4vrigß . stoutly denied the truth of our assertion.

A very interesting work has lately been published here relative to the Piedniontese, and giving an account of the revolution of 1821, in whi ch the author endeavours to prove that according to the stipulati ons made by France in 1014 and 1814, Piedmont ought to have been ruled by a constitutional government, and that atm° lut' ism had only been introducedusurpation d• . .by au_ injustice. - `,LFOrt; .Paper, F 1.11. ~4 4 1 , 14 6 ritsr LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1828. Government are at this moment more anxious for news from Odessa than from any other quarter, for upon the answer of NICHOLAS de pends the question of peace or war. That NI cHoLAs will still profess moderation in his views upon Turkey we have no doubt, but what will professions avail if his armies .do not retire beyond the Danube, and retrace their steps from Asiatic Turkey ? And will NICHOLAS consent to such terms in deference to 'Lard HEYTES BURY ? He dare not. His Nobles, his army, his people, would cry. out ." Shame" upon such pusillanimity. The EMPEROR may well say that circumstances now place it beyond his power to act up to his professions of moderation. He may, in deed, promise to demand only so much territory and oo much money from the SULTAN, but when once he is in possession of Constantinople, his views will change, and he will square his moderation to the exigency of the case. We do not see how he can retract with safety— certainly not with honQur. Had our Go• vernment remonstrated in time, the EMPEROR would not have found it a difficult matter to listen to reason, but now that he stands committed to have indemnity for the past, and security for the future, he has no choice but to proceed—and proeeed he will, unless the strong arm of neces sity prevent him. We do not envy the Cabinet musings of the Illustrious Chief whose thoughts now point to Odessa, awl seek relief by glancing at embodied Ireland. If he really contemplates granting Catholic Emancipation it ought to be done at once, in the event of NICHOLAS provoking him to a war, and so rendering it a matter of necessity to conciliate Ireland before he looks abroad for commo tion. As a matter of policy, he must see the generalship of saving thirty thousand men and double that number would not now keep' down the marshalled population of Ireland m the event of war—the Duke must surely see the wisdom—the necessity of conciliating six mil lions of people, before he takes the field against such a Power as Russia. The Duke views the Catholic Question as one of expediency—can it ever be more expedient to grant than at this moment ? If a rebellion ensue from non compliance with the grievances of an oppressed people, how much will not the Duke have to answer for ? But we hope that the Irish know their own strength better—that they will only consult the good of their country by a strict adhe rence to the laws—that they will persevere in the course which they have so wisely adopted—and trust to the justice of their cause, if not to the generosity of their oppressors. They must suc ceed at last. The French. Papers contain some news from Lisbon to the 17th of August, at which time reports were spread that the Spanish Legation were to take their departure, but these reports were scouted by the Miguelites as absurd, be cause the intimacy between the two Courts was never more close than at this moment. When despot leagues with despot, the people have good reason to look to themselves. MrGuEL and FERDINAkID May understand each other, but they will find ere long that the people of the Peninsula will also understand each other, eng consult their true interests by limiting the tyranny of their rulers, and the undue inter . fin.ence of the Jesuits in temporal matters. It . ' even said that the Marquis de CHAVES, the rebel supporter of Don MIGUEL, has lately become so disgusted with the conduct of his MAJESTY that he contemplates another rebellion against himself! This is just as it should be, The day of retribution must come, sooner or later, when, not MIGuEr., but FERDINAND will look round for protection, and be answered by the curses, loud and deep, of an outraged and indignant population. If we are to believe the news from Madrid, Catalonia is again in arms, and will probably occupy the attention of FERDI.. NAND for the winter, without allowing him leisure and troops to make a descent on Mexico. The Gazette de France, in the absence of authentic news from the East, amuses its readers with prophetic assertions that the Russians will not see Constantinople this campaign—that an armistice has taken place, or will take place in consequence of the intervention of other Courts, and that the weakness of the Russians will in duce them to desist. As all these assertions are merely gratuitous suppositions, we will not discuss their probability in the absence of authen tic information. As to the weakness of the Russians—the fact of immense reinforcements constantly marching to join the Imperial army is, we think, a sufficient answer. The army before Shumla may be sufficiently numerous to invest the fortress, which it in fact does, but it may not be so strong as to warrant the storming of a place so strong by nature and rendered still stronger by art.— Unless the EMPEROR could spare the loss of the thousands which must fall in assaulting Shumla, it would be madness to make the attempt. It is not sufficient for his ulterior purpose that he captures Shumla, without being able to follow up his success by an immediate march upon Adrianople, through the difficult and well-defended passes of the Balkan Mountains. But we have no doubt if he take Shumla by storm, that it will strike sudden and very general terror into the Turks, who would feel greatly pa ralyzed in their defence of the passes against an army flushed with capturing the " hitherto impregnable" strong-hold of Ottoman power.— The capture of Varna is still more important, in a military point of view, to the Russians, for it forms the key to Constantinople by the coast, and would Maintain the communication with the fleet open. There are many roads to notoriety in this wicked world, and Mr. PETER LAYNG has chalked out a new one for himself. But he is not very likely to get many imitators in his shilling speculation, unless, indeed, the good people of Bartholomew Fair cut him out in his new vocation. We will answer for it that if Mr. PETER LAYNG took a booth in Smithfield market, and exhibited himself as the " sup porter of the House of Brunswick" at a shilling a head, he would draw more than all the wild beasts put together. We wonder that he did not think of this speculation, for it would be sure to take, and he wOuld be certain of a meeting from the four quarters of the Globe to keep his loyalty in countenance, ,and do fitting justice to his speeches. It would be loyalty on all . finirs, with Mr. PETER LAYNG to back It ! THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwaLrs o'CLocz. Speculators seem nearly at a stand still, for the present, in British Securities, it being the opinion of many individuals that the calm which at present exists is but the forerunner of a political explosion, that may operate powerfully on the price of the English Funds, and for this reason they seem de sirous to avoid entering into new engagements.

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR This is a great day for the Cocknies, and most reli giously have they taken advantage of it, for, long before the " Tuft of Sol's night-cap appeared in the Esat," the East-enders had begun their march to Smithfield, and a most motley spectacle there presented itself. Every dime had its representative. There was, among others, the " am phiberous animal, from Bottom-house Bay in theWestlngee ;" but what particularly attracted attention was a collection of nondescripts, which was veritably stated to be " under the patronage of his Royal Highness Priuce .George of Cumberland, and the rest of the Faculty ! Under this head were exhibited, as the placard had it, "a nondescript pig-faced lady, a Burmese giant, captured at the siege of Bhurtpore, by Lord Corn bermere, with his own hand, and presented with unanimous approbation to his Majesty—a wonderful Scotch Boy and an American Dwarf." In another booth were to be seen, "Two Chinese Tartar Conjurors, from the Court of Pekin, never before in this country."— Ne would fain indulge in a catalogue of all the wonderments there announced ; but as we cannot for a moment admit a doubt that any one of our readers will fail to visit the scene himself, we will at once' come down to the arrival of his Civic Majesty, which took place precisely at half-past 11 o'clock ; and here we must take leave to account for our omitting any notice of the several inte resting and distressing incidents which befel the cavalcade in its progress from the Mansion-house to Cloth-fair. The fact is, we do sot wish to trench on the province or the profits of the Rev. Mr. Dillon, who is, we understand, about to publish a history of this day's journey, as a com panion to his truly original work, entitled " The Lord Mayor's Voyage to Oxford." At half-past eleven, as we before stated, my Lord Mayor, attended by the other civic authorities, made his appearance in Cloth Fair, when the " proper officer s" proceeded to read the proclamation, which was to give due license to " the humours of Bartho lomew Fair." And, first, he enjoined all persons attending and taking part in said humours, to keep the peace, on pain of imprisonment, at the discretion of my Lord Mayor ; and, next, he cautioned all sellers of bread and other " creature comforts," to sell none save such as were whole some for man's body ; and lastly, he enjoined all persons, but those duly assigned by the Lord Mayor, from executing any attachment or other process of law within the precincts of the said fair. Having received these commands, and a few more which we do not care to mention, prudence " flung aside its fetters," and a flourish of trumpets an nounced that the sports had begun. Here we cannot avoid mentioning an accident which fully proves that— " -- medio de fonte leponun " Surgit amari aliquid quod in ipsig floribui. angst." A showman was lmidly explaining the curiosities which his exhibition presented to wondering beholders—he thus proceeded—" Look to the right, Ladies and Gentlemen, and there you'll see the King and Queen of France, and she sitting most lovingly on his knee--(get out of that you young rascal, or I'll lay my stick across your shoulders)—on the left is the Dauphin, with his arms a-kimbo, and his eyes fixed on—(take your eyes from the hole, you thief, or dub up your perry). Look, Ladies and Gentlemen, one penny only." It may be necessary to state, that this bye-play was addressed to a little. ragged urchin, who, through a slit in the canvass, was cheating the showman of kis fair perquisites, much to his annoy ance, and to the detriment of that dow of elogumcv in which he was indulging► in his description of the Royal Family of France. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. This ancient fair commenced to-day. Cymbals, trum pets, drums, and warlike songs, accompanied by the vocal music—" Only a Penny, only a penny," resounded from one end of the fair to the other, and the booths and pockets of their owners speedily began to fill. Besides the usual supply of terrific Savages, Living Skeletons, tremendous Giants, and Learned Pigs, there were many novelties, amongst which we must not omit to notice the first appear ance on any stage, or at any fair, of the Pig-faced Lady, one rat is, to use the showman's expression, " a na tive of Trinidad, in the Vest Hinges." The bills posted up on the caravan, announcing to "be seen within, the celebrated Pig-faced Lady," during the short time we remained in the Fair excited the astonishment and curiosity of the wonder-swallowing open mouthed audience on the outside, who were eagerly waiting for the opening of the exhibition, to view this extraordinary female. Seine of the persons who saw this lady, expressed their doubts as to whether she was pig-faced at all, and seemed inclined to examine more closely, but the showman suffered no one to approach nearer to her than within two yards. A blunt Yorkshireman, more sagacious than the rest, at length made a discovery, and exclaimed, " Why, its nought but a Shav'd Bear." "Is it Monkey-face?" rejoined the showman, " could you shave one of them there animals like that one ere, Mr. clever,--th ?" The Yorkshireman persisted (which is a fact) that the Pig faced Lady was nothing more than a white bear shaved, and dressed for the occasion, when the showman put an end to all argument, by crying, " All out, gentlemen, all out, and give place to others."—An account of the ap pmrance of Corder, the murderer, after death, in the Red Barn, which is cried about the fair, also meets with a ready sale.

ELECTRIC SHOCK.—On Friday, about half past one, p. m., the Dart then paseing through the water at about thirteen miles an hour, and in the five-fathom channel, opposite Whitstable, running fur Margate, was overtaken by a stiff squall from the west, with heavy rain Several claps of thunder had been previously heard.-- After the squall had lasted a few minutes, and curled up the sea in a curious manner in patches, the denser part of the cloud seemed to settle down towards the vessel. Whilst noticing its proximity, first a very faint illuminating light waved over the starboard paddle• box, and immediately an appalling flash and burst took place, about nine or ten feet from the deck, directly between, although a little higher than the pAlle. boxes. The noise of the explosion somewhat resembled the discharge of a large howitzer, when close to the hearer, having in addition a hissing noise, like a Congreve rocket, yet of shorter duration. The form-and a ppearance of the fo •ty red at night, accompanied by some thirty or sparks, fire was that of a flash from a 12 or 14-inch mortar ! seep like those from red hot iron when struck on the anvil. The flash, sparks, and hissing, seemed to go over the larboard paddle-box, towards the sea. One of the seamen on the look-out near the head of the vessel, was thrown forward, shook the whole vessel; and Oft of the deck felt the heat in bent, as he expressed it, :tell]: expansiondeck.

John Skinner, a sea-faring man, was indicted for fele niously stealing, ou Saturday, the 30th of August, a silver watch, the property of a fellow-lodger. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner engaged a bed on the Friday night preceding the day eharged th e indictment, at the Griffin public-house, Church-street, the Borough. He slept in the same room with another person who had a watch, which he placed under bl. Pil low whoa going to bed. When the latter awoke ig the morning he missed his watch, and on making his. l' s 3, knoWn to the landlord .the l a tt er procee d e d up stair* a" knowing that no one b u t th e pr i soner h a d b een in the room, he desired him to get up that he might be, searched. The prisoner refused, but was compelled to rise, and °ll searching the bed the watch was found concealed between the ticking and the mattress. The prisoner, in his defence, most strenuously declared his innocence, and said that the prosecutor must himself have put the watch there. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, an d th e CHAIR MAN sentenced him to six months' imprimament and hard Labour iu Guildford Goal. Win. Briant, Thomas Grainger, and Edward 5 6714 three young boys, were indicted for stealing, on the 10th of August laet, at Wandsworth, a work-box and other ar ticles, the property of Hannah Baker the younger. It appeared from the eyidence, that the prisoners ptPhe l open the door of th e p rosecutr i x, an d see i ng no one insi de stole the articles in lueetion. They were, however, al most immediately secured. The prisoners admitted facts which it was tiseleas to deny, and said, in extenuation of their guilt, that thil were going to Portsmouth, and went to the house to ga t drink of water, and seeing no person within, they we re tempted to commit the felony for which they were in dieted.--Verdict, Guilty. The COURT sentenced them to be impri.soned for tbre a months, and kept to hard labour, and to be-whipped be fore their departure. The sessions are likely to terminate this evening. A .. ' the commencement o f th e sess i ons t h e Citatasuor stud" that the crime of stealing from the person bad so erizw - : piously increased, that it was necessary to put it down exercising the utmost severity of the law. In aocorsian' * ''' with this intimation, almost every person convicted of atm) , ing from the person has been sentenced to transportatio' These delinquents were principally pickpockets from Cam berwell fair, some of them adepts, and a few only )L 1 initiated, but all were transported, with acaroaly aII exception. This is, to all intents and purposes, lee' lating upon expediency without regard to relative degreda of criminality. The punishment for picking a p oc ket of a silk handkerchief is usually two or three months' impri sonment, and perhaps a whipping ; but because there bar pens at a particular period to be several pickpockets, the .individual culprit is sentenced to traaspottation, not b& cause he is snore guilty, but because there are otherairtalli'' as well as himself. We are aware that the usual apologY may be offered, that punishment is only inflicted for the sake of example' to the rest of the community ; but tile° comes the question, have we a right to benefit the cons munity at the expence of an individual? for it is unjustly' at his expence you benefit them, if you punish him bo' yond the extent which his moral guilt demands. The Surrey Magistrates, however, are not very subtle lo gicians iu these matters, though it might strik e , even their 'Worships that if the same punishment apportioned to stealing a handkerchief that is also appor' tioned to stealing 201., the thief will naturally abandon til e silks, and take to the more profitable occupation, to tbs' still greater detriment of the public.

On enquiry at the Hospital we found that the Depo t / Treasurer and his books had departed for town, where lkir' Austin was to he examined. At Bow-street a gentleman applied, in a low tone, Sir R.

Another Reporter for an e vent paper applied by note, and was answered. that 6 ' No deuce would be taken to-day ;" and another sentence t h e that " there was merely a talking as to the offence; „ t Magistrates, perhaps, being unaware at that moment the talking was the very thing they wanted to get held!!!
