"as an appeal from an order for the removal of a ,inoLeners (with whom was Mr. BRODERICK) re -4 - } 7Ted the particular attention of the Court to this case, eh 'was one of peculiar and extraordinary difficulty. It . ( a g te ared that Robert Goodwin, the father of the pauper, 114 nl ereted in 1788 t o a y oun g woma n , na med Mary f Y• He deeerted her in a short time, and betook him e,b.tn an adventurous coarse of life, in the progress of ti th he married an Eba• abeth Field, with whom h e a , gni at Sutton, in Suffolk, in 1792. Whilst there, he carried I,l,"ery exten s i ve b us iness in swindling ; at length he had a ht.. 7 directed to him, annonnoing that a large fortune had co ': bequeathed him, and requesting that he would instantly fa t " t o tow n an d take possession of it. The story of the %,t in e had it s desired effect, it was implicitly believed at 4thn, tho se who su ff ered by ;him before gladly gave him 1 ; 01 41 advances, and one of his dupes actually allowed a t uau ghter, then a child only twelve years old, to accent ilfe,.."3int up to London, from whence ho was to return in days,lit as he himself stated, in a coach and four. The G . girl had to find her way home by herself, as Goodwin ," disposition to see his friends at Sutton. Whilst b „"via was living at Sutton with Elizabeth Field the 1%7" paupe r was born, and was afterwards seen travel t;Phent with him in several place.. The father con a-itdied foe several years to live in the most retired manner, le e , ° , 4 2, 6 kewing himself where recognition was likely ; at hi:"` at became a fishmonger at Whltechapel, and there zdventures closed. t o gi b t C ltaxamaar—l apprehend that you have two points at 4 4 , bl ish--first, to identify the pauper with the child born tt „,"tnn in 1793, and next, to show that when the alleged w il e age took pl ace b e t ween hi s p aren t s , his f a ther's first was living. If you establish those points, the pauper must go ti.) Sutton, the place of his birth—for, in fact, 314:411 the n h ave proved that h e i s a b astar d. Do ~v er al witnesses were then called to establish these among whom were the pauper and the lady who, L on e lonly twelve years old, accompanied Goodwin up to I ta 4 7 4 from Sutton. The evidence was purely circnin _,n"alv and the CHAIRMAN complimented the gentlemen wno got it up, upon the satisfactory manner in which they tna qtyut a case which at fi rst view presented so much dif fiet Tlve order for the removal of the pauper to Sutton was then confirmed.

There is a general want of business in the English Funds. Consols opened at 884 4 for account, and the same for money; a sale of a trivial amount turned them sellers at 884 for money, at which price the Commissioners were served, and they are now quoted at 884 4 for account, and sellers for money at 884; there is no particular feature to notice in the Stocks, which are nearly a blank, notwithstand ing the return of the Hebrews to their occupations. India Bonds have had little alteration, they closed yesterday at 85 7 pm., and have been done this morning at 84 5; Exchequer Bills are somewhat lower, being 79 3 pm. . . In the Foreign Funds the transactions have been very trifling, except in Brazilian Bonds, which rose one per cent. on the arrival of the Buenos Ayres packet, which touched at Rio de Janeiro; and as the report still continues of peace being likely to be ad justed between the two Governments, and Deputies having been appointed by the Buenos Ayrian Go vernment to go to Rio, hopes are entertained on this subject, although many have their fears. The Bonds are now 64 ; the Rio Herald states that the pre liminaries of peace offered by the Brazilian Govern ment to the River Plate authorities have been ac cepted ; the Exchange had in consequence risen to 31d. per milrea. Nothing has been done in Buenos Ayres Stock, nor has any variation in price taken place; Russian are quoted at 941 -a ; Portuguese, 54 ; and Danish 634 4.

OLD COURT. These Sessions commenced this morning, and were opened with the usual formalities. Among the prisoners called up and placed we noticed the Bev. Mr. Fenn, who was arraigned on two charges of forgery. He pleaded " Not Guilty" to both charges, and held a very large quantity of manuscript, which we under stood was his defence. At a few minutes 'past ten, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, Mr. Justice GASELER, and Mr. Baron VAUGPIAN, entered the Court, and business proceeded. On Mr. BARRY'S application, the Court ordered the case of Peter Fenn to stand for hearing at half-past one o'clock. Mary Roy, aged 28, was indicted for robbing William Wall, her master, of a silver snuff-box, and a 51. Bank of England note, on the 17th of July last. The prisoner made no defence, but called a Mr. Hart, with whom she had before lived as servant. He had a good character with her, she had always behaved herself like a good servant, and he parted from her with regret. Mr. Justice GAMMEN, in summing up observed, that however the jury might regret seeing a young woman like the prisoner in her present situation, yet the facts were too strong to require a long address from him. With regard to the snuff-box, that did not appear to have been stolen on the same day, and they would, if they saw no reas►an to disbelieve the evidence, find her guilty of stealing the note. The Jury found her "guilty," but recommended her to mercy, on account of her previous good character, and Mr. Wall joined in that recommendation. The Learned JUDGE observed that it could only be ex pect-d to operate in saving her life, which he had no doubt would be spared. NEW COURT. John Smith aad William Jones were indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief in the Tower of London, from the pocket of Mr. 3. Godfrey, on the sth of August last. The Jury found them both Guilty. John lif'Cante was indicted for stealing a watch, value thirty shillings, the property of John Furlong. Verdict— Guilty. lYilliam Towell was indicted for stealing a clock from the dwelling-house of Edward Richardson, being his clock, and of the value of 61. The prosecutor resides in Goewell-street-road, and on Saturday, the 16th of August, he missed a dial out of his parlour, between the hours of three and five. Saw it again on the 19th at the office, at Worship-street. Witness is a licensed victualler ; but did not recollect meting the prisoner in his hoase on the day of the robbery. James Brown, a police officer, deposed to going to Mr. Sowerby's, the pawnbroker, in Chiswell-street, about five o'clock on the 16th of August, where he found the pri soner with his clock in his possession. The prisoner said that a person gave hint the clock to pledge, and upon being asked if Ile knew the person, he replied in the negative; hut said he bad no doubt but he should find hint some where. John Leach, shoproan to Mr. Sowerby, deposed that the prisoner brought it to his shop to pledge, and witness re cognised him as having brought a stolen dial to his house on a former occasion, and accordingly had the side door fastened, and sent fin• Brown the officer. • The prisoner said nothing in bix defence. Sarah Martin and Mary Ann Stoner, were indicted for feloniously assaulting Maria Smith, and taking from her person a cornelian necklace, and other articles, her property, on the 13th of August last, in the parish of Westminster. It appeared that the house of the prosecutor is in the parish of St. James, Clerkenvrell; whereas it was laid as being in the parish of St. Luke. This was fatal to the capital part of the charge, and the Jury therefore found him guilty of larceny. The indictment laid the offence to have been committed in the parish of St. Margaret's, hut it appeared that the parish of St. Margaret's and of St. Mttin's divide at the gate of the Horse Guards, and this happened so nearly op posite the gate, that the prosecutrix could not say at which side of it the occurrence took place. The prisoners denied the charge, and Sarah Martin at tempted to turn the tables upon the prosecutrix, by saying, that she was the aggressor, as far as related to the assault, and as to the robbery she new nothing about it. The Jury acquitted both the prisoners. William 2'orcell was again indicted for stealing a dial, value V. from a public-house in the parish of Shoreditch, •n the sth of August last. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Joseph Hyde was indicted for breaking and entering the house of Wm. Goodman on the 29th of August hat with intent to steal. The prosecutor was keeping the house No. 8, Great Coram-street, for the proprietor then residing in the country. The window shutter of the kitchen had been cut about two o'clock in the morning, and it was evident upon searching it that Home person had been over the house, bat nothing was stolen. The prisoner was found concealed in the privy of an adjoining house, and was taken int* _ custody. Mr. C. Pumurs, for the prisoner, asked several questions as to whether the prisoner (who is quite a boy) is not half witted or occasionally insane ; but the wit nesses could not give an answer to the question, bnt one of them said that the prisoner admitted that "he bought a chissel for the purpose of entering the house, not knowing that Mr. Woolrich, the proprietor, was out of town. That in the absence of Mr. Woolrieh, he would have taken any thing, but if Mrs. Woolrich had been in town, he would have taken a little, but not much, and that he had been in the house from half-past eleven until two o'clock. Mr. Pimmrs called witnesses to prove that the prisoner was drunk on the night in question, and also called Mr. Woolrieh, the proprietor of the house, who deposed to the prisoner haring lived with him for about four months, during which he conducted himself well. He was, in his opinion, very honest bat very stupid, and even half-witted. Another witness deposed to his being bred by bis mo ther in a state of derangement. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS—(At per Load of 36 Tnisses.) ST. J A M ES'S. s. L. s £. s. s. Lowland Mead.

DOVER, SEPT. 10.-Mr. Green, the aeronaut, has this afternoon made his promised ascent f►•om this place in most beautiful style, accompanied by Mr. George Pearne, a clerk to the agent for his Majesty's packets. The weather was very unpro• pitious. After a month's fine weather, the morn ing was cloudy, and in the afternoon we had conti nued rain, and, what was worse, there was an incli nation to a change of wind westwardly, which would have the effect of setting the balloon in a direction to the Isle of Thanet. Mr. Green was evidently much disappointed at being prevented crossing the Channel. He had this plan much at heart, and even now has not abandoned it. He was also anxious to avoid disappointment to the assem blage of people that had collected to witness the ascent, and therefore decided on starting, although the wind was too much to the westward. About four o'clock every thing being arranged, and the rain fortunately ceasing for a short period, the ropes were let go, and the balloon ascended amidst the shouts and cheers of the surrounding multitude. The balloon appeared to go in the direction of Sandwich. If Mr, Green finds that he is approach ing the sea, he will accelerate his descent, and we cannot help feeling most anxious to hear that he has, with his adventurous companion, regained terra firma in safety. As long as the figures were distin guishable the two eronauts were waving their hats, and returning the cheers of those they had left be hind. We fear the weather will ha% e had the fur ther ill effect of considerably diminishing Mr. Green's receipts, vast numbers of people having been thus prevented attending, and contributing to the subscription that had been raised for his remu neration. Tlie lodging-houses here are fully occupied. Our races take place to-morrow' and Friday, and from the number of good horses already arrived very excel lent sport is expected.

DERBY GRAND TRIENNIAL MUSICAL FEsTivAL.—Thil splendid musical festival commenced on Tuesday, under the distinguished patronage of his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and moat of the principal Nobility, for the benefit of the general infirmary. Some apprehensions were entertained as the Festival approached, that that fascinating singer, Madasue CATALAWI might be detained on the Continent by indisposition, and would he consequently unable to enliven the Festival by her presence; but, to the gratifi cation of every person, they were soon dissipated by the arrival of the " Queen of Song," on Monday night, at her apartments in the Irongate. The following distinguished personages arrived on Monday; they have chiefly private apartments:—Their Graces the Dukes .of DEVONSHIRI, RUTLAND, and NEWCASTLE; the Earls of HARRINGTON, Sual:wsannv, and BEAUCHAMP ; Viscounts Tamwonns and MELBOURNE; Lords MIDDLETON, SCARSDALE, SUF FIELD, VERNON', WATERPARIC, &C. &C.

We have the best authority (tlutt of individuals who wore present at the dinner) for stating that the speech of Mr. Dawson at Derry was very incorrectly reported; and that as regards one important point in particular, " he not only did not speak in his cha racter of a Member of the Government, but expressly, and in the most distinct manner, guarded against such a construction being put upon what he uttered." This fact is of great importance; since it ends at once all the inferences which have been eagerly drawn from the conduct of Mr. Dawson, as to the intention of Government to concede the claims of the Catholics. (FROM THE LEICESTER HERALD OF YESTERDAY.) The Protestants of Ireland ought to be convinced that they are now, In a degree, the arbiters of their own fate—that the public, decided, and unanimous expression of their sentiments will govern the con duct of Goverment, and that It only requires that they should put their own 6hottiders to the wheel, to ensure the aid and co-operation of tht ministerial Hercules. A simultaneous Protestant action must be opposed to that of Popery. Let it be done and we are victors—let it be neglected, and we perish. The House of Brunswick is associated. with the re ligion and liberties of Britons, and those of their Irish Protestant descendants brethren, and fellow subjects—and, with God's blessing on its 'patriotic exertions, the Brunswick Constitutional Club will defeat the Popish machinations which would disas sociate them, and will secure Ireland, for ever, Protestant gem in the Protestant Crown of Great Britain. FROM THE DUBLIN FREEMAN'S JOURNAL OF TUESDAY.) The Constabulary of Ireland wax most dis astrously in spirit at that prospect of peace, which agitation is establishing throughout the country. 111 r. O'Connell's police (a designation in which the peasantry now universally glory) are likely, not only by example, but by strenuous exertion, in bringing others to justice, to supersede the Inspectors General and the Inspectors Particular, and to reduce the military expenses of Ireland by a sum of two hun dred thousand pounds and upwards. ?ROM THE DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER OF TUESDAT.) THE COHORTS OF FERMANAGII.—A correspond ent states, that the levy en masse in Napoleon's time, which was the calling out of all the effectires that could take the field, gave a soldier for every eight men, women, or children of the entire population. We apprehend that such a process could not give a fur different result in Fermanagh; even under the stratocracy of Sir Harcourt Lees and Claud. Beres ford. We have already stated that the entire popu lation► of Fermanagh, according to the Government census, is 130,997. The one-eighth of this total is 16,384; so that if all the inhabitants of this county were Orange, a levy en masse would not bring into the field the cohorts upon which the "Bloodhound" ' Club so confidently calculate. But the whole of the population is by no means Orange. Protestants of all sorts form only a proportion of one to three. — We should think it would be going rather too far to suppose that every Protestant in the country is a lodge-man; but even taking that to be the case, the cohorts would dwindle from 28,000 to 5,461. Why, Falstaff himself is outdone by these Orangeists in magnifying the number of the " rogues in buckram." 0 monstrous ! eleven buckram-men grown out of two ! It is rather more monstrous to make twenty-eight out of five. COURT OF D'OYER HUNDRED. Pursuant to notice, a Court of D'Oyer Hundred was held on Saturday. His Worship the MAYOR having taken his place, Mr. Wm. GREGG rose, and said it was customary in that Court to past votes of thanks expressive of its members' approbation of the conduct of indi viduals upon certain occasions. He rose for the purpose of giving notice that, on the next meeting of the Court of D'Oyer Hundred, he should sub mit a resolution for the adoption of the Freemen of Cork—one not approbatory, but disapprobatory of the conduct of an individual closely connected with the public interests of Cork, and identified with its Corporation. Mr. Gregg then read his Resolution to the following effect : " That we cannot, with sufficient indignation, express our disapprobation of the conduct of Sir Nicholas Conway Colthurst, Colonel of the Royal City of Cork Regiment of Militia, one of the Representatives in Parliament for this city, in per mitting the Band of the Regiment to perform at the Entertainment given in this city last month, to Daniel O'Connell, whom we consider a public de famer, and a disturber of the peace and good order of Ireland ; and we earnestly trust that Govern ment will, in consequence, remove Sir Nicholas C. Colthurst, and substitute some person upon whom, in case of emergency, implicit reliance may be placed, for the future command of that regiment." Mr. GREGG—Yes, I do hope the Government will remove Sir N. C. Colthurst from the command. Captain Harding, of the North, refused his band, but fioir N. Colthurstgranted that of the Royal City of Cork Regiment, and the man man that would give his band, would, for aught I know, give his regiment to the Traitor O'Connell.—(A deep sensation.) — So help me God, if I were an officer of that re giment, I would institute a Court-martial against a Commanding Officer so acting; and I call upon a gentleman on my right (Ensign Geod) to do so; for every man holding his Majesty's Commission in that loyal Regiment, should consider himself dis graced ever after by being under the command of such a man. If he can acquit himself of the charge of being an abettor or an amuser of that same Daniel O'Connell, who has often branded this loyal Cor poration with the vilest epithets, let him come for ward on the next occasion of the Court meeting. I give him time to refute the charge. The army re fused their bands, Sir N. Colthur st gave his. Mr. BENNETT submitted, that the consideration of the proposed motion did not come within the pro vice of that Court. Mr. G. had indulged in some severe remarks, quite beyond the imputed charge, and certainly not fitting for that Court. Mr. GREGG—As a freeman of this city, Sir N. Colthurst has subjected himself to the control of this Court, if he does wrong. Mr. BENNETT—Monstrous ! that this Coart should take cegnizance of the actions of 3000 peo ple. I know w• should have occasion to meet oftener than we do at present.—(Laughtt r.) Mr. GREGG--At the next Court, I shall, please God, bring forward my motion. Then Mr. Ben nett, in all likelihood, will have received his instruc tions from the Association. Mr. BENNETT--Those allusions are quite unne cessary and uncalled for; if the Associaeon entrust me with any business to do, I shall discharge it fear lessly and honestly sisd unintimidated.—(Hear.) I am always happy to be prokt , ..sionally employed. A voice called out—" Aye, by the greatest cri minals in the land." the criminals in the land, for which I ' by feel thankful, and and for whom I hope I have always done My best) shall so continue to do.—(Hear.) Mr. GREGG—You could not serve for a greater than O'Connell.—(A genera l sensation.) Counsellor DEANE----it is high ti rse to p ut a sto p to this conversation. — ( n ear .) —Certainly, M r . Mr. BENNETT—Yes, certainly, greatest Gregg has a right to introduce his motion, if he thinks proper; but I cannot agree with him that th e description of language employed was justifiabl e . Mr. GitEGG---i persevere in my opinion. The Court then rose.—Cork Mercantile Clzron. - _ DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.--Ycsterday even ing an accident happened to a fine youth, about 14 years sf „ ge , of the namo of WILLIAM JONES, by his getting b i e l eg in the drum of the steam-engine used in the glass manufactory of Messrs. BAILEY, Oakley-street, Westinin ster-road, when both the bones of his leg were fractured. Providentially the engineer was on the spot, who instantly stopped the machine, or the boy woßld have been crushed to death. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS, Young as is our colony of New South 'Wales, complaints begin already to show themselves against the way in which the public money has been expended, and the blame is thrown on that vicious and rotten system It hich has been pre scribed in England for the administration of the colony. In the case of the United States, dis coveries of this kind were not completed under a lon g course of years. The old colonists of Eng land were occupied for a century with any thing politicaltbchoueltonilsi,oi colonial rni l:ien,dll questions, oirla tsi ithe press er f er o sy r sw 1 the world omnipresent bweoernldshwaar sh a r pene d e la : iel o c(ii t s in h :l c e e fat t ig h a e bl ue . lulStimta ultimate tenure 'o n of f whichs is taea g astonis h ing atheti t h h o e United i : e t ( ence. The great questions now keenly looked into by mother country's all classes coh i m o n fal i ' i independ ence. colonial:nt:ld:lee- ' subjects, and the causes early develop themselves of those disputes, which lead, if unsettled, to the final dissolution of empires. The principle, then, is already sce nted out, even in wh a t ma y be termed the embryo establishment of New Hol land—the principle, by pertinaciously contend ing for which, England must one day be com pelled to forego her dominio n over it. In what ever British colony the produce of the taxes is expended by individuals, and for purposes which are not controullcd by the people who pay them, that question is started, and that. spirit excited, which will at last abolish the abuse, or effect the separation of the colony. There must, wherever the materials for it exist, be a solid representation of die people in every distant dependency of Great .I~7tain. It must be granted one day in New HollsaT4 and at the Cape. Nay, in some centuries, if so long, there must be a local Parliament. The business of the mother country, as hitherto exemplified, has been to wring from the colo nists whatever could be forced from them, for the use of the aristocracy at home. The busi ness of the colonists is to resist that wrenching ; and if by no other means, by separation. In what a state are the Canadas at this moment while we write ! They have, in the eye of an Englishman, little to complain of, their trade being in some degree favoured, and the form of a legislature allowed. But the favour shown to Canadian produce is not extensive enough, and the legislative power is not real. The Cana dians, therefore, do actually assert that if they “overned themselves, they Would be much bet ter governed. Their internal iinprovements are checked by perverse rapacious approp?iations of land ; the official patronage is too largely shared by natives of Great Britain ; the Governor Mid his Council assume too much power, and thf.l inhabitants have a dangerous example at their door, in the shape of a successful and prosperous experiment of emancipation. The spirit of the Government of Canada, we learn, has not for 30 years been liberal toward the people, except dur ing the time of Sir George Prevost, an un fortunate commanding officer, but admirable in his civil administration. Under this gentleman, who was a native of the country, volunteers poured in from every district to defend it ; and some of the most efficient corps we had were raised within the province. The tone of Sir James Craig was harsh and absolute. Lord Dalhousie, otherwise a respectable nobleman ; leans more to the system of Craig than of Pre vost ; and the effect is seen in the disposition of the country, which breathes nothing but angry discontent. We say, therefore, that some fresh and pure blood mnst be infused into the whole of our colonial system. The state of the Ca nadas is more urgent than that of any other transmarine possession, because there the popu lation is stronger, and the sense of miagovern ment more general and acute. Those counttiem must be ruled (as Ireland must be ruled, for she, too, has had still worse usage than a colony) on a consideration of what best suits their local in terest, and not of the manner in which they may be forced to yield the greatest sacrifice to the parent state ; otherwise they will inevitably cast about for an opportunity of releasing themselves from trammels imposed by English selfishness or pride, and the history of the United States will have become that of our entire colonial empire. The Duke of Wellington may depend upon it that no time is to be lost in reconciling the Canadas to the King's Government. All his Grace's three millions' worth of fortification will serve but fer'a monument of worse than childish negligence, if, while preparing for the enemy in front of it, be leaves a more deadly one behind. —Times. :a:IotIIn the with , dram-drinker isttirie nwg o itl f : f loi o f u lh r l ei score, c ic o l ao r ( e lii , szt w ei • ta l u ) s e to i i l ioi no suscep tible fatal, could resist re t s h i e st n iii t a se t t s . oon Ti l l i e ro o r t e ) s h. them compli mented t observed, that he was indebted for his success to of a very extensive application. All pursuits are beset with difficulties in the commencement. Many persons, for instance, may suppose from the Reports of Parliamentary Committees on Crime and Police, and the observation of what. takes place in Courts of Justice, that knavery and dishonesty are safer and more profitable than they actually are. It is, however, here, as in every other line in England, nothing so danger ous as over-trading. The approved principle would seem to be, to take care to be always able to cover every transaction—that is, that in steal ing and defrauding, in all their various branches, have a fund in reserve a party should always equal to the value of the business done at any one time, so that in case of detection, the sufferer A g uilty man who is - may be bought off : asill as an innocent m a • prudent, may fare. n in our Courts of Justice, and we all know that in nocence without money is s. very slender protection. It is they only who pro can trade securely who, ac cording to the Police Report, have ~ means of evading, if not defying the arm of the law, " and hence the security of those who, according to the same document, "are wealthy e nough, if larger rewards are offered for their detection, to double them for their impunity ; and who would ' in one case have given 1,0001. to get rid of ' a single witness." But all thieves and knaves cannot be expected to be prudent ally more than all honest men ; and hence, though it is no doubt esrovagtiennneriasll true that large fortunes have been made and are securely possessed by several thieves, who will no doubt be the founders of distinguished families in this country, yet it should be borne in mind by those who might be seduced by the picture iii the Police Report, that these individuals have carried with them into their vocation an ability and prudence which would have produced a.s much in other pursuits ; and that, while they have risen to splendour and respectability (to borrow a term from Mr. Alderman Brown), they must have seen num bers fall every day from want of the qualities which led to their success. When once, however, a man has saved a smart sum, he may proceed in the career of villainy with nearly as much security as sublunary affairs will admit
