PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The last mail froth Ireland brings intelligence for which the public were no doubt prepared, namely, that Mr. O'Connell has been returned by the High Sheriff of Clare as duly elected for that county. The number of votes appears to have been, For Mr. O'Connell 0 ,057 Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald .. 992 Majority for Mr. 0'C0nne11...1,075 Neither in our feelings of regret for the unjust treatment experienced by Mr. Fitzgerald, nor in our opinion of the important consequences to be looked for as likely, nay certain, to result from this stroke of Irish Catholic policy, are we sen sible of the slightest alteration since this subject was first noticed in the Times. It is true that the language of Messrs. O'Connell, Shiel, and others of their party, when speaking of the late Member for Clare, was infinitely softened at the close of the election, compared with its whole spirit and tendency whilst they were doubtful of the issue. In raising the opposition to Mr. Fitzgerald, there was no tale too disingenuous— . no calumny too foul, for the factious purpose of nflamiug the multitude against the Right Hon. Gentleman in his own person. Every expres eion, the most furious or contemptuous, by which they could injure the man who had assiduously served the Catholic cause in and out of Parliament, was seized and turned to the overthrow of his election for Clare.— It now is confessed, that all such abuse was but a " rhetorical figure," employed ad captanditm, and without the least reference to its justice. We are homespun enough to think, that the practices thus resorted to were equally mean and dishonest, though not indeed of equal enormity, with the blasphemous wicked ness of the Popish priesthood, who spouted forth the terrors of eternal damnation against any of the peasant freeholders, who, in voting for Mr. Fitzgerald, should abandon Mr. O'Connell, and the interests of the Holy Catholic Faith ! Without being strait-laced in our animadver sions on the conduct of men whose feelings are highly excited, we do not scruple to say, that such an exercise of the influence possessed by the Catholic Clergymen, sought for and retained by them under colour of the most sacred objects --nothing less indeed than the, eternal salvation of their flocks—that such a perversion, we re peat, of spiritual power, is as abominable as the success of it in this instance has been frightful. No true or rational religion can exist in a count try where such a domination is aimed at by the priesthood, and such impure lessons are taught ; nor can any temporal magistrate, legislature, or civil institution, for regulating on sound prin ciples the actions of men in society, co-exist leith pretensions so immeasurable on the part of the Catholic clergy. Lot it be observed, that the power we now cry out against exceeds that enjoyed by any other hierarchy on earth,—far exceeds that of the Popish Church under any Popish monarchy in Europe, or out of it. No where can the Popish clergy direct by a nod, — no , not in Spain or Portugal, much as we despise them,—the whole labouring po pulation of the soil to any given end, in the presence of, and in defiance of, the whole property, rank, and education of the com munity. Nowhere can 30,000 men he drilled, not merely into such political order as to act ;against all their ancient habits, as if but one soul inspired them, hut into such perfect moral dis cipline as to forego, with the firmness of an chorets, their most cherished indulgencies, and to restrain their most rooted propensities to excess. Mr. Slid terms this organization frightful." We so distinguished it many days ago. And under what system has this dreadful edifice been reared, of boundless influence, and t , ager prostration Why, under the penal laws —under the much-praised and much-loved 'system of securities to our Protestant Church and State ! 'This is the effect of our incompa rable guarantees to Protestant ascendancy—the and growth of a despotism over the souls of our fellow-subjects, which we declare, with out circumlocution, is of force to sweep away in a single moment the strongest temporal govern ment that was ever seen on earth. We add further, that the tyranny now with so much truth complained of, has not grown up in the neighbout hood of our Protestant securities only, and in spite of them. It has been born of them —the young tiger has been suckled by them ; they have trained, encouraged—they have then provoked, and sunk under its fury. For the hundredth time, it must be asked of the King's Minister:—Will von let this evil go on ? Will you suffer a force to beard you, with which no King, Lord, or Commons, that ever existed since Great Britain was an island, can en counter without .the cerLtinty of defeat ? More securities !—Penal securities: —Alas, more blood for the appetite of the raging ager ! Starve him, we say ; remove his aliment —age lish the grievances which inflame and fatten him. Cut Riff' his legs by detaching the laity which sup, port him, make it no longer the interest of the Catholic gentry to employ the perilous instru ment of the priesthood for working on the ima teeLtiations of the poor ; but above all things, do this, ere the time for entering on a voluntary course of wholesome action shall have escaped you—not to return, but in sorrowful and inorti fying recollection of opportunities lost for ever, What the result of Mr. O'ConneiVe experiment 'von the House of Commons and its officers may be, it seems not diOic4lt t o p re dict. H ow his experiment on the people a Ireland is likely to terminate, we regard as a far 1116.42 awful and orgea matter. To dispiny to Ireland het- own strength, and then to refract that fearful spectacle on the sight of the people of En , ghtud, ought to be deemod a project worthy ci tl i mse whose stake is nothing less than the existence :if their native eonntry. To return to Clare—We know that Mr. Fitzgerald has much reason to regret an event which, )however in solce particulars " untoward, - has presented his character in soch favourable colours to the nation. Seldom has there been any where exhibited more becoming dignity, generosity, or manliness or tnind, than in the demeanour of that Right Hon.. (knee man from the outset of the recent contest to the (lose of it. His speeches on both occasions were admirable, and his defence of his conthuct complete.—Tintes. Mr. O'Connell's return is now no icTer a matter of doubt. The 'contest closed on Satur day. A question was raised by some of the Freeholders as to the eligibility of Mr. O'Con nell, on account of his being a Catholic, and much argument was expended by the Compel on ' the point. Mr. Keatinge, the Asses r, fiOwever, advised the High Sheriff to return iffr, O'Connell, as he could not know whether be would or wofild not, take the oaths, none being prescribed to a Candidate, and Mr. O'Conrieil was accordingly returned—of the correctness of this decision there can be no doubt. It is stated in an account from the place of Election, that Mr. O'Connell has declared that he will not take his seat this Session. It is, indeed, but natural to suppose that he would wish to pre pare himself, carefully, before taking the next important step, which will draw on hint the eyes of the whole Empire. A little delay will hardly he of disadvantage to him, in a case of so novel a kind, where both counsel and industry will be required. It is rumoured that the question will be brought to issue in the House, when Mr. O'Connell enters it, by the Speaker's order ing strangers to withdraw. It will then be de termined whether Mr. O'Connell can be recog nized as a Member without taking the Oaths, This will be the first stage. If he should be re cognized as a Member, then conies the question as to the sitting and voting without taking the Oath against Transubstantiation. Morning Chronicle. Mr. O'Connell is a Member of the British Legislature ! At six o'clock on Saturday evening the polling closed, and the great agitator was declared duly elected by more than double the number of votes entered for his • opponent. During Thursday and Friday several protests were lodged with the High Sheriff, to the follow ing purport : In as notch as Daniel O'Connell, Esq., is a person pro fessing the Roman Catholic Religion, and, as such, cannot qualify to sit in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, even if he were elected; we now, therefore, give you notice that the election and return of the said Daniel O'Connell to sit in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, under the writ to you delivered, will be illegal and void ; and we do hereby call on you to return the Right Hon. Wm. Fitzgerald Vesey Fitzgerald, be being the only qualified candidate in nomination. Another document was also submitted to the Sheriff; namely, the affidavit of an Elector, who stated that he had read Mr. O'Connell's address to the Electors of Clare, and that the latter had as serted in it that he was a Roman Catholic, and never could ; or would, take the oaths prescribed to be taken by Members of Parliament. The arguments of Counsel were heard on Saturday ; but the Assessor decided that there was a mate rial difference between being " qualified to be elected," and " qualified to sit and vote." Mr. O'Connell was therefore duly returned ; but the Assessor counselled the Sheriff To state on the face of the return, that the writ hav ing been duly received by you, you gave public notice of holding the election—that two electors proposed and se conded Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald; that two other electors pro posed and seconded Mr. O'Connell ; that Mr. O'Connell openly avowed himself a Roman Catholic ; that after that declaration a poll was demanded ; that before the close of the poll you received a protest, signed by several of the freeholders ; and that you were called upon by them not to return Mr. O'Connell, who, they stated, was disqualified by law to he elected, and to return Mr. Fitzgerald, who was the only qualified candidate. Thus the matter stands at the present moment ; and so it will stand, we presume, until next Ses sion of Parliament, when the farce, for farce we must term it, will be concluded.—Morning Advertiser. The Clare Election is over. O'Connell was declared duly elected on Saturday. The speeches on both sides will be found in another place. Ilre have given them at length, not so much from any great value that they possess, for, like every other contest in life, much of the interest has evaporated since the result was known, but because, for some time at least, we may not have occasion to recur to the subject. It is very generally understood—at least his friends say so —that the new Member for Clare will not at tempt to take his seat during the present Session. In this we admire his tact. Nothing certainly couil more effectually extinguish the prestige of the whole affair than for the great O—as Cob bett calls him—to be made a Parliament man one week amid the shouts of twenty thousand of his countrymen, and the very next to be sent home stripped of his short lived honours, and that too without the comfort of a single speech, motion, or question, on the subject, for seven long months, until, in fact, all remembra►►ce of him and his case had been absorbed in the con templation of some more recent, if not more notable, piece of jugglery. Now that the agi-. tators and their leader have made their bows at Ennis, and their deluded supporters have be taken themselves to their cottages and their po tatoes, we think it but an act of common jus tice to notice the singularly peaceful demeanour of the latter, and, not over curiously prying into motives, the good feeling displayed by the former, at their parting. The abstinence from brawling and whiskey is, we admit, rather an ex traordinary symptom in so numerous a band of Irish electors, inasmuch as it proves more forci bly than the mere extortion of a vote, the power which the Priests and the Association possesses over them. It is generally admitted that it re quires more skill to lay the Devil than to conjure him up ; and we certainly look to the possibility of that influence, which has charmed those law less men to peace axd quietness for the first time in their lives, being turned to the easier task of inciting them to riot and bloodshed, with.no very comfortable feelings. Still, so far as its effects, in the present instance, have been salutary, we are thankful. The plan, as we stated yesterday, to neutralise it altogether, is in the power of the legislature ; but even if the legislature refuse to act, the gentry of Ireland have, in their own hands, a remedy to the greater part of the mis chief'. If they make no more freeholders, and avail themselves steadily, without harshness or severity, of the power which time and the law put in their hands, of reducing those that have been made, tl►ey will have but little occasion to come to Parliament for assistance. - Let them thwer forget that the forty-shilling freeholders are the Legiuning, and the middle, and the end . of all the humiliation which they have suffered, and of all the mischiefs that threaten them. — Those removed, the O'Connells, and Shiels, and O'Gorinans may rave, and the priests may excommunicate, a 4 long and as loudly as they will, and he laughed at for their pains. --New, SIIIPPINCi INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE.—Yesterday Colonel Rotalde, the Spanish emigrant, who was first aide-de-camp to General Castanos, waited upon the LORD MAYOR. to entreat his Lordship's assistance, under circumstances of a very unac countable description. He had, in 1808, hoisted the standard of independence at Cadiz, in aid of England as well as in defiance 'of the French squadron, then at anchor in that port, and he subsequently distinguished himself amongst other exploits by rendering important service to the Duke of Wellington at the siege of Burgos. Having been compelled to leave his country on account of his hos tility to the system of oppression adopted, he became a dependant amongst others upon the bounty of the English people, and from the subscriptions in behalf of the refu gees was allowed the sum of 1/. a week in consideration of his former rank and his services and misfortunes. On a sudden, however, hi s name was s t r uck off the list of claimants, and no moti ve was ass i g ned by the Prime Minister for the act. The unfortunate Colonel could only judge of the nature of his offence from the consideration of what is detailed below respecting an application which he made to some of the members of his Majesty's Government, from, as he most solemnly declares, motives of the purest gratitude. His request to the Lord'Alayor was, that as he was by his exclusion from the above-mentioned bounty, reduced to the condition of depending upon those who were still con sidered to be claimants, his L or d s hi p would patronise an invention which had cost him some labour—a clock, the works of which were to be set in motion simply by one wheel, to the exclusion of a great deal of unnecessary matters. His LORDSHIP desired that the Colonel would leave his papers in the hands of Mr. Nobler, and that in a day or two he would call at the Justice-room. Colonel Rota lde, it would appear, must attribute his late calamity to the very circumstance which he supposed would be best calculated to show Lis sense of the service readered to the general body of the emigrants. On the 17th of September, he desired to lay at the feet of his Ma• jesty, through the military department, filled by Lord Fitzroy Somerset, a model of a new plan 'of tactics, accom panied with written explanations, showing its superiority to the existing system, as affording greater facility in orga nising large bodies, and giving additional security and ce lerity at a greatly diminished rate of expense. To this end he solicited the honour of a personal interview with Lord Fitzroy Somerset, for the purpose of affording him the ne cessary information as to the mechanism by which the move ments of the battalions, represented in the model, were to be effected, assuring him at the same time that the experiment would not occupy five minutes. His Lordship requested that the model might he sent to his house, where he would, as soon as he could find time from his numerous avocations, examine it. The model was accordingly sent, and in a month the receipt of it was acknowledged, and the same promise repeated. The Colonel wrote again to his Lord ship on the subject, upon which the model was returned, with a reply that his Lordship, from the pressure of busi ness, was unable to examine it. Another letter was ad dressed to him by the Colonel, entreating that if his situa tion as an emigrant prevented the fulfilment of the offer, he would have the kindness to advise where, and how, and to whom he should address himself, in order to give the British nation the benefit of his professional researches and their results. The reply was, that hiS Lordship returned the model, conceiving that the Colonel was anxious to have it back, and that he was not aware of having made any offer. The Colonel, we understood, made no secret of what took place between him and Lord Fitzroy Somerset, with whom he says, he was in the habits of friendly and familiar intercourse in Spain, and sortie comments were made upon his Lordship's conduct, injudicious, as far as regarded the interests of the unfortunate Colonel, but wholly unsanc tioned by him. The Duke of Wellington commanded, it is believed, in consequence of those injurious observations in which his own name was mixed up not only uncere moniously but reproachfully with that of Lord Fitzroy Somerset, that the name of the Colonel should be struck off the pension-list. The Colonel wrote to the Duke, en treating that his Grace would take into consideration the fatal decree dooming him to extreme poverty, but no an swer has been received, and the petitioner is now indebted, as we said before, to his fellow refugees for the support of nature. GITILDHALL.—K AT z V. BACHEI.OR.—This was a case of assault, arising eut of the affair of the three very valiant Welsh gentlemen, whose appearance before the Al derman we reported yesterday. Mr. Katz, the complainant in the pre:sent case, is a gen tleman, apparently of foreign extraction. The defendant, William Bachelor, is an elderly watchman of great spirit and small dimensions; and he was summoned to show cause why he should not be held to hail for having wan tonly and repeatedly poked the end of his staff against the stomach of Mr. Katz. The matter was thus :—Whilst the watchmen were working the three very valiant Welshmen into the watch house, Mr. Katz happened to be among the crowd of lookers-on. Just at that moment there was another party of lion rirants wining towards them loyally roaring '6 God save great George our King !" upon which a gentleman, in Mr. Katz' company, remarked " llere's another job for the Charlies !" and thereupon this angry little defendant watchman .turned short round and poked the end of his staff against the stomach of Mr. Katz—at the same time exclaiming "I'll teach you to call me a Charley!"—Mr'. Katz assured him that he did not call any such thing.-- " Well, never mind," replied the angry little watchman, "if it was not you, it was your friend, and that's all one !"—and then he repeated his pokiugs at the sto mach of Mr. Katz, until he had poked him backwards, step by step, all the way from St. Sepulchre's watch hwuse into Smithfield market ! These pokings, of course, made Mr. Katz very uncomfortable; but, being a well disposed and peaceable person, instead of making any physical resistance thereto, he contented himself with telling his annoyer that he would certainly complain of him to the Magistrate—and he did so. The angry little watchman in reply to this complaint, denied that he had poked Mr. Katz at all. He had merely pushed him back with his hand. Mr. Katz,•in rejoinder, called another watchman, who in some degree corroborated his statement —he having in terposed to save Mr. Katz from the further violence of the first watchman ; though he endeavoured to make it appear that Mr. Katz was not poked, but merely pushed. Mr. Alderman KEY, however, being of opinion that the assault had been proved, directed that the watchman should find bail to answer the complaint at the Sessions ; but after some further talk, Mr. Katz consented to accept an apology ; and the watchman having apologized after his own fashion, he was dismissed with an admonition to be less liberal in the use of his staff for the time to come. WORSHIP.STREET. THE GREEN-EYED MON STER.—Yesterday Edward Moore, one of the Bow street patrol, was brought before Mr. TV.'"YFORD and Mr. BaouGrrrox, charged with an indecent assault on the person of a Mrs. Dowling, the wife of a carman, and of having also, about five. weeks ago, violated her person. The husband, who appeared bordering on distraction, Said the defendant lodged in the same house with him, and that he was also a married man, and had his wife and family in rreisMd. Thai -a few mornings before he went down stairs,_and slammed the street door, as if he went out. tie then watched at the bottom of the stairs, and he heard his wife's Led-room door attempted to be opened, when he ran up stairs. The defendant's bed-room door Owing op posite his) he found open, and the defendant lying on the bed. He taxed him with the fact, which was positively denied by the'defendant. lie also understood that, about five weeks before, the defendant had effected his purpose with his wife. lie was a carman, aryl only ten months married, and his peace of mind was ruined for ever. Mrs. Dowling said, about 'five weeks ago, one morning after her husband went out to his work, the defendant came into Ler bed- room and effected his purpose. Mr. TWTIORD said, the husband had a remedy by civil action. After the part i es l e ft the office, an altercation took piece between them in the street, and being brought back, Moore was held to bail for assaulting the wo man . The husband said that his wife . might go to her father's, for with him she should not stay. I3OW-STREF.T.—Yesterday avery tall, black-whisker ed fellow, well dressed in a long brown frock c oat an d w hit e trousers, was - brought before Sir 11 so -4arsto and Mr. illtststruLt., in the custody of Wootton, a patrol, charged with having assaulted a Mr. Collyer and a young woman of his acquaintance (whose name, at the request of the Magistrates, we refrain from pnblishing),under time following circumstances : By the statements of the two corunlaipants it appeared,' that as they were returning home through Hyde Park, about ten o'rlock or# Tuesday evening, last week, the de fendant suddenly rushed upon them from behind a tree, and seizing them both by their collars, said, "I saw you ! I am a park-keeper, and I ought to give you in charge." Mr. Collyer, being a very small man and no match for the defendant, and imagining that robbery or something of the sit was intended, thrust a shilling into the hard pf the de fendant, who immediately relaxed his hold of the corn plainsnts, and suffered them to walk on ; h u t h e walked with them, and before he left them insisted on having the address of the young woman, which she, being exceedingly alarmed, gave him, The complainants parted ut a short distance from the Park, and when the young woman ar rived at her home, she found the defendant waiting at the door. lie accosted her, and insisted on going into the house with her,-but she refused to admit him, and he went away. The next day she received a letter, without a sig nature, but which purported to come from the " Park keeper," in which he insisted on her meeting him, and threatened that unless she did, he would " publish her disgrace to all the world." By the advice of her mother and friends, Mr. Collyer obtained the assist ance of Wootton, the dicer, and he advised that the young woman should consent to meet the de fendant. Accordingly she let him know that she would meet him on the following night at Tyburn-gate; and she went, accompanied by Mr. Collyer and some friends at the time appointed. These last ::oncealed them selves, and she went forward alone, and was without loss of time joined by the defendant. Her friends and the officer who had been in waiting then came forward and seized him. On its being demanded, he gave them his address, and the officer accompanied him to the house, which he found to he a common brothel in Seymour street, Bryanston-square, where the defendant, he found, cohabited with the mistress of the house. Having thus found the scoundrel out, the complainants, without delay applied for a warrant against him. In answer to this charge, the defendant asserted that he had seen the two complainants together in the Park " This assertion Mr. Collyer very indignantly repelled, and the young woman very nearly fainted. In answer to the Magistrate, the defendant said that he was a painter and glazier, and lived at No. 11, Seymour street, Bryanston-square, and that his name was John Bailey. He afterwards admitted that he had been dis charged from the Life Guards. He was ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions, himself in 40!. and two sureties in 20/. each. Sir RICIIARD BIaNIE, at the conclusion of the exami nation, expressed a hope that the case would appear in the public papers ; as it might put those persons who were obliged to pass through the Parks, at night, on their guard against miscreants like the defendant, great numbers of whom, he said, constantly frequented the Parks for the purpose of extorting money under threats of an, infamous description. MARYLEBONE.—A. smart young girl, 18 or 19 years old, was brought before the Magistrates, under the following circumstances :—She went into the shop of Mr. Johnson, a chyntist, in Oxford -street, to procure a quan tity of laudanum. There was something in her appear ance which led the person who served her to think she in tended to destroy herself; and, to prevent it, he gave her instead of laudanum, a strong aperient mixture, and fol lowed her. As soon as she gut into the street, she poured the contents of the phial down her throat, and he instantly gave her into the custody of Badderley, a beadle of Saint Marylebone, and accompanied her to the Office. There were Mr. GRIFFITH, Mr. HOSKINS, and Lord MONTFORI, on the bench, and evidence to the above effect was given, and received, with a great deal of seriousness; but when the chymist concluded his story by admonishing the Ma gistrates to have the girl removed from the bar as soon as possible, for he was sure the mixture would quickly ope rate, the bench and the bystanders were convulsed with laughter, and the poor girl was hurried away to the work house, complaining bitterly of the trick put upon her, and declaring she had a right to kill herself if she pleased. THAMES POLICE.--A man of colour, named Dickson, was brought in irons to this office for examina tion, charged with having, during a voyage from the Isle of France, endeavoured, by means the most scandalous, to excite the crew of the Iphigenia merchant ship to mutiny. The evidence against the prisoner was that of the entire crew, and consequently of great length, and it disclosed in its details most extraordinary turpitude of character. Ile was employed in the ship, and his habits being detected to lie of a drunken kind, by the Commander of the Ipla:aenia, he was sharply reprimanded and once punished. This was the f IY assignabl e reason f or hi s su b sequent con d uct. Slor ° 4after being reprimanded by the captain, he entered into conversation with a boy, and afterwards with some of the crew, in which he darkly alluded to the great suc cess they must have, if they could get the ship in their own bands ; one of the men to whom he was speaking said, he asked him at the time, if they got the ship, what putt they were to steer for, with the hope of escaping detec tion. The prisoner was represented to have replied, that under such circumstances they would have a roving com mission, and all parts of the world would be the same to them ; any port, any harbour would be theirs, and they could sail on unknown and unclaimed in safety. The crew, however, were proof against the insidious attempt, and remained steady to their duty. This passed over for a few days, when it was discovered that the prisoner had renewed his scheme by insinuations of a most distressing kind against the captain, and he offered a boy 12/. if he would bear hint out as to the truth of his assertions. The crew, many of whom had sailed before with the captain, and knew him well, instantly related what they had heard to their commander, and requested the prisoner might be punished. The captain at the moment, in his indigna tion, would have had hint punished, but upon reflection, determined on confining him in irons until the ship arrived in the port of London, in order that he might be dealt with according to law.—Remanded. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday, two young men, named John Thompson and Charles Field, both fashionably attired, were placed at the bar before M. SWAIIEV and D. LAING, Esqrs., charged, on suspicion, with commit ting divers felonies on the preceding night at Vauxhall Gardens, during the ,fete in aid of the Spanish and Italian refugees. Both the prisoners are genteel-looking men, and sported splendid g old watches, chains, and seats, which were taken from them on their apprehension. Hall, the chief officer, on examining Thompson's pockets, found a roll of bank-notes, amounting to 40/.. besides a green netted purse, containing 15 sovereigns and a half. He also found a small penknife, which Was ad mirably adapted for cutting pockets, with a short blade, and well sharpened at the point ; he had no doubt but the instrument was designed for the purpose he had stated, and was such as those generally used by piekpockets.— The officer added, that in reply to the questions he put to Thompson, when he was apprehended in the Gardens, his answers were most unsatisfactory, having refused to state who or what he was, or from whence he came. On searching Field, six sovereigns and some silver were found in his possession. Both the prisoners, when taken into custody, appeared excessively indignant at the charge, and expressed their intention of bringing actions for false im prisonment. The Magistrate . now undertook the task of questioning the prisoners. " Where have vou come from ?" said he to Thompson i who replied, that he was a native of Liver pool, and had only been in London two days. Since his arrival in town he took up his abode in a street leading out of Fl ee t- street , near Temple-bar, but did not recollect the name of the person who kept the house, or the number of it. He was an engraver by trade, and left Liverpool in order to try and obtain work in London. With respect to the money found in his possession, he brought it all from home in sovereigns, but on his arrival in town, and feeling the weight of the gold inconvenient, he exchanged the greater part of his sovereigns for notes. Field said that he had been in London a week, and came lip from Wolverhampton, near which town his father held a farm, called Headly Farm. His visit to London; he de clared, was merely for the purpose of seeing a female whom he hail been attached to for eight years, and who was at present holding a situation in Kensington Palace. The chief officer had received information that a gang of thieves had recently arrived in town from Manehoster, anti he had very little doubt that the prisoners were con. nected with them—Remanded. In the course of the day, a gentleman, apparently labour ing under great uneasiness of mind, applied for the Magis. trace's : advice under the following circumstances. lie s tated that for some time past a Ftlap who was very far be neath the condition of life of applicant'S family, had formed an intimacy with one of his (applicant's) daughters. It appeared that they had had several private meetings toge ther, and when he (the father) discovered the intimacy that subsisted between the perso n he alluded to and his daug'iter, b e pointed out to her the impropriety of forming such a cornet beggi ng , f or the sake of her family, that she Notl t d 'ctn not i' disgrace them by continuing such an acquain tance._ She promised to attend to the advice ; and a few days afterwards, the man having heard of the interruption given to his meetings, was heard to exclaim that he would play his (applicant' s ) f am i ly such a trick that wou ld asto nish them. On M on d ay last, the applicant proceeded to state, his daughter, the girl alluded to, was sent out on an errand, and from that day to the present she had neitlicr been seen nor beard of by any of her family. lie strongly suspected that the man had either destroyed his daughter, Or had her c oncea l ed in soon place or another. 3 fAmsraATE---.1 think it is most probable that she eloped with him. Pray bow old is the young lady ? Applicant —She is under age; she is not yet 19. MACISTHATE---I think von have no reason to apprehend that any violence has been offered to your daughter, as it appears that she was attached to him. Applicant—.( am sorry to say that she was certainly attached to the fellow, but his having declared when spoken to OU the subject, that be did not know where she was, in duces me to suspect that he has made away with her. ActsTRATe—A father's fears, I own, are perfectly natural, but I think it more probable that your daughter an d t . hi, m a n have been married by banns, and that he is keeping her in concealment until the thing blows over. The applicant said that he had mentioned the circumstance to some of the Directors of the East India•house, where the man was employed as a labourer, and they questioned him very closely, but he still persisted in asserting that he was ignorant of where applicant's daughter way. The applicant added, that the Directors advised him to apply to a Magistrate on the subject, and expressed their willingness to deliver the man up in the event of his attendance being required. The Magistrate observed, that even if the man was then in custody, he had no power to detain him one instant. There was no charge against him, and the applicant could not presume to swear that the man had taken away his daughter by farce or against her will. Indeed, added the Magistrate, you have not as yet ascertained where the girl is, and I would advise you and some of your friends to commence a strict search. SECOND EDITION.

We have had heavy rain during last and this morning, Oats, Beans, and Peas, remain without any alteration in value, with a very limited business passing ill each. In Barley very little passing ; indeed the season for malting is now closed, and what little is doing is in pa rc els for grinding, at late prices. Linseed is in more enquiry, but at no amendment in prices. Rapeseed continues in limited demand, at late prices. Wheat, Old 50s. 525. —5....... New —.4. 48, 5 0 A . Foreign ...... —5. 48s. 30s.
