wholly changed the dispo;,itious of the P owers of Europe towards that kingdom. The King of Great Britain sent Lord Carteret, his Am bassador, to Sweden, to conclude a treaty and an alliance with that Crown ; by which it Was agreed, that Bremen and Veraun should remain with the King of Great Britain for a million of crowns ; and in case the war with Russia conti nued, Great Britain should oay Sweden 300,000 crowns a year, and att with her forces against the Czar. A short time after this, the Swed es made peace with the King of Prussia, on terns somewhat similar, for ceding to his Majesty Stettin and its districts . ; and at the same time t h e Ki ng o f Poland had 'concluded a treaty with the Emperor and his Britannic Ma jesty," This interference only served to de , ceive the poor Swedes to their ruin. The Czar ordered the British and Hanoverian Ministers to quit Petersburgh, and caused all the English Merchants in his dominions to be put under arrest, threatening to confiscate all their effects, which amounted to above fifty millions of rubles. He raised his terms with Sweden, and " now in sisted on keeping all Carelia and Kecksholm over and above what he formerly demanded of Sweden." In spite of the English fleet under Admiral Norris, he ravaged Sweden from Lap land to Scania, destroying eight towns, eleven palaces, one hundred and thirty Noblemen and Gentlemen's houses, 1,361 villages, and carried off inhabitants in transports from Sweden to Finland, to the amount of 60,000 and upwards. The Czar even went so far as a threat to make a descent on England in favour of the Pretender. So that at this period we see Peter carrying his object, in spite of the support afforded by Eng land in money and a fleet, and the favour of the Kings of Prussia, and Denmark, and Poland. The force of Russia was then much more at her command than it is now, when it is spread over a fifth part of the globe. Her real strength still consists in her Muscovite and Baltic provinces. Were she now to insult us as Peter did, we have no doubt that our Government would have more means of resenting the affront at its disposal. We allude to these particulars, merely to mitigate this very unnecessary alarm which pains are taken to instil into us on account of Russia. We may be sum that if there were any real apprehensions from Russia, the means to check her would not long be awanting.—.lbid. Letters from Rio Janeiro of the 29th June confirm the intelligence which we communicated sonic time ago respecting the intention of Don Pedro to send the young Princess Donna Maria da Gloria to Vienna. A ship of war, the Don Pedro 1., has been equipped for her conveyance, and her departure fixed for the 6th July. It is ;tot known whether the Don Pedro will land the future Queen of Portugal at Madeira, Genoa, or Leghorn ; but she is now on her way, and should she by chance touch at Madeira, her arrival, which must take place much about the same time as that of the Brazilian frigate which sailed from this country a few days ago, may give a turn to the fortunes of Don Miguel which he little expects. The fact of its being the de termination of the Emperor of 3,3razil to send Donna Maria da Gloria to Vienna instead of Lisbon, which was originally hiS intention, as well as that of a projected marriage between her and young Napoleon, our readers will recollect that we were the first to communicate. None of our Evening or Morning cotemporaries then noticed the matter ; but in the Courier of yester day the fact is not only stated, but due credit taken for it as having been communicated on the 4th instant !—" This is too bad !”—Morning Advertiser. The close of the Parliamentary Session in France has naturally enough turned public at tention there to the caanduct of th 6 Assembly whose labours have thus been suspended. There was never before even during the revolution, or in the progressive changes of action and eircutn qance which preceded that extraordinary event, exhibited a more striking development of 4i dons, which, spreading rapidly and almost uni ':ersally throughout the nation, had profoundly rooted themselves in the soil of France, than on occasion of the general election of 1827, and the return of the present Chamber of Deputies. That M. de Villele had a decided foreboding of the result to which men's political views were tending, though (happily for the people) he much underrated the activity with which the en gines of public virtue were undermining the dark edifice in which he dwelt, is well known, from the reason assigned by him for refusing to postpone the dissolution of the former Chamber. M. de Villele saw, that as men had begun to weigh . fo r m s an d pract i ces i n t h e sca l e o f prin kAples, and a s , by a l aw o f M. d e Chateau briand, s introduction, the Chamber must have been sent to a new election before the end of .mother year or two, it would be necessary for hint to gain further tune towa r d s carry i ng t he sc h eme of despotism to such maturity as would en ;ible it thenceforward to stand without assistance from even the outward show of a constitution. But a single Session would still have left the purpose incomplete, and the increasing exas peration of the country, provoked more and inure by the daily frauds or violences indisr.en .iable to the only system of government which M. de Villele cared or knew how to administer, would, when a dissolution could no longer be avoided, have burst his raw barriers and over whelmed him. By the end of 1828, thought the fallen President, the " public hatred will have outstripped my gradual encroachments on the charter; opinion will then be far better or ganized against me, and I shall not . oe advan ce d in an equal proportion ; I will therefore brave th e tempest mow, with even a majerity of a dozen deputies, no matter how secured. I can then em ploy, during seven whole years, the new legis lature as an instrument for overthrowing what remains of liberty ; and, after the year 1834, a fig for the f a r ce of a Chamber." This reasoning was correct, had the assumption been so which led the Minister to fancy himself a match for the electors of 1827. But the pro fligacy of his Government had surrounded him with dangers Snore rapidly th an w ith means o f preservation. The scattered forces of the Con stitution rallied in the last ditch, and by an effort little short of convulsion, saved a noble corrunom wealth from ruin. M. Dupin,. a gentleman well known in England, and familiar with the media. nisni, at least, of her power, has addressed a let ter to his constituents, the object of which is no doubt creditable, as its consequences may be use ful. lii this little production of 34 pages, which he terms an " Account Draw Sesstony 1828," M. Dupin adverts to the improved composition of the Chamber, enumerates the measures which it has accomplished fbr the country', fairly ac knowledging those which are yet from want of time left imperfect, and concludes by encourag ing the youth of France to persevere in its calm, but resolute, devotion to the cause of liberty. We subjoin a few passages from the letter, which terminate with an explosion, which only patricitiSin ceuid excuse. " Let us reSticA'. the progress of France towards legal order during a single Legislative Section. The reeedom of election guaranteed against fraud. The liberty of the Press protected againstarbitrary power. The interpretation of the laws restored to ttte Le gislature.

We have always main tained that Ireland would eventually take from us our manufactures, or, at least ) a great portion of them, on the simple principle of being the ' cheaper country. We have maintained that this change would be brought about, not by what are called great capitalists going ever there and spe culating upon the invtatnent of their capital in extensive corn:erns, but by poor manufacturers, who find that, by the cheapness of living and labour, they can produce a piece of goods five or ten per cent. cheaper in Ireland than in this country, and will naturally get their goods manu factured where the cost of production is the least: Thus will our manufactures be drawn over by degrees from Leeds and Manchester to Kilkenny, Belfast, and other places, so as to make industry and Protestantism flourish in place of speech-making and Catholicism. This is the natural progression of things. Manufac turers seek the cheapest places, from a law as in evitable as that which makes rivers direct their course towards the sea. Thcy are impelled in that direction by the prevailing law of self-in terest. It was on that principle that linen manufactures formerly migrated to the North of Ireland. The woollen manufactures were fast fblknying them, when in the reign of William the Third, the narrow policy of Nome Statesmen induced them to have absurd and unjust Statutes passed to put down the Woollen trade of Ireland ; and they had that effect, other wise we should not hear so much as we do at the present day of Catholicism, and miracles, and fairies, in Ireland ; for it is in the nature of the activity and intelligence which accompany manufactures to displace from their strong holds superstition and priestcraft. So is the North of Ireland, where the linen manufacture has long flourished, by far the most Protestant and most enlightened part of Ireland: This is apparent to every person who travels through the province of Ulster, after seeing the South and West of Ireland. He will imagine, in the neighbour hood of Belfast, he has got into a country at least a hundred years more advanced in civiliza tion than Cork or Galway. We are glad to find, therefore, that tnanufactin es are at last getting into the South and West. The cotton factory which the Quakers have established at Mayfield, in the county of Waterford (the account of the Marquis of Anglesea's visit to which we gave the other day), seems to be in a thriving condition. There a number of English workmen are em ployed, and with them Quakerism, Church : of- Englandism, and other branches of the ,Ite formed Religion, will be introduced. We gave, in the Morning Herald of Monday, a para graph by which it appeared that an agent from the house of Ben. Gott and Sons, had arrived j in Kilkenny, to purchase blankets for the Rus sian armies. This is on the principle that we have mentioned—the inferior cost at which the goods are produced, arising out of the compa rative cheapness of the country. The house at Leeds sends its agent to Ireland to purchase those articles to supply their foreign order, be cause they have discovered that the manufac turer at Kilkenny can produce a piece of blanket ing five, ten, or perhaps fifteen per cent. cheaper than the capitalist at Leeds. Thus is Ireland takin g front us our manufactures. The effect will be, in course of time, not merely a mercan tile, but a moral revolution. The Quakers, Methodists, Unitarians, Baptists, Independents, & c ., will introduce their several systems of reli gion along with the cotton, woollen, silk, crape, ilnpaper, hardware, and g l ass manufacto rtorlsLand thus, by means of so many wedges operating upon it in all p arts , NV ill the great a t r n u d n k r o o f t . ed ou of Ireland. the eCt Catholic csstem be s pli t i n p i eces, . Thus will the real emancipation of Irishmen be accomplished— t h e emancipation front ignorance, superstition, an d priestcraft, into a condition of intelligent in dustry and mental freedont.—Morninillerald. The want of wisdom in our Corn Laws, if not their inutility, was never more apparent than at this moment ; for, such is the fallacious scale of averages produced by the low prices of damaged corn, that, at the moment when these law s ought to be in operation to meet a deficient harvest, they are so paralysed as to be, in fact, causing one of the evils they profess to remedy. There are few persons, we should think, who must not 110 W be convinced of the superiority of Mr. Hume's proposal of a fixed tax on imported corn over the graduated scale which has been adopted. It is to be regretted that there should be occasion for any Corn Laws at all. That, however, is a question which the Debt sets at rest. But Corn Laws, though indispensable in our present state of debt, used not on that ac count be made so obscure and intricate in their operation as to be little better than a nullity when brought into action.--i6id, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSiON-110U:SE.—in tliis ease, the particulars of which we gave yesterday, and in Which Mr: Baylis, a n extensive riwhbroker and silviirsmith, in Aidersgate-street, appeared to shew cause why a quantity of plate, of the value of 2001. and upwards, found in his possession, should not be detvered to Mr. William Cooper, as his (Mr. Cooper's) property, which had been unlawfully obtained from him by a person named Robert Bailey, and pawned at the defendant's shop, The LORD MAYkiii said, 'teat appeared to him, from the *boleti the circumstances of the case. that the property had been unlawfully taken from Mr. Cooper. Mr. Adolphus proposed that the property should lie in the hands of Mr. Cope, and that an action of trover should be brought for it. The LORD MAYOR refused to be a party to streh a pro ceeding; but if Mt. Cooper could produde evidence of the identity of all the articles, he would gladly beat it before he issued his order. Mr. Cooper said that he certainly mild, and *Mild pro, duce evidence to identify every one of the articles. The Loan Mai-0R........Then p?odoce evidence, and I wir give the order immediately. BOW-STREET.—EXAMINATION OF MR. AUSTIN.— Last night, about ten minutes before seven o'clock, Mr. Austin, the late deputy cashier of Greenwich Hospital, ar rived at the Office, in a hael, ner , coach ) in the custody of Salmon, who hld brought him from the House of Correc.. tion, to undergo an examination on various charges of em bezzling the public money, which had passed into his hands by virtue of his office of deputy cashier of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. 'Bicknell, the solicitor to the Commis sinners of the Greenwich Hospital, atttnded oil the part of the prosecution. The Office and avenues were crowded to excess. Sir R. BIRNIE directed the prisoner to be brought before him in a private room; and the investigation was tr.) strictly private, that he not only refused admission to the reporters, but also to the gentlemen who attended profes sionally on the pat t of the prisoner. Several witnesses were examined, and the property contained in the trunks seiied by the officers at the inn at Limerick, was produced. —Between nine and ten o'clock. Sir R. Blame. ordered the further inquiry to be postponed till a future day, and the prisoner was remanded to the House of Correction.— The Magistrate observed that it *as important that publi city thottld not be given to the evidence in the present stage of the investigation. The prisoner sat during the examination, and paid the utmost attention to the evidence. He wore spectacles, and took occasional notes of the pro ceedings. It is not true, as has been stated, that he in any way disguised his per Son, when he left England, by shaving off his whiskers. He will be again examined on Monday next. SWINDLING.—Last night a very dashing young fellow, who has gone by the various names of Harris, Pitzharris, Morris, Charles La yard, Albemarle, lee., was brought to this Office on a variety of charges. The prisoner was dressed in a fashionable style. He is the son of a Clergy man of the Established Church, who is related to several noble families, residing at Stamford, in Lincolnshire, and he has several brothers, highly respectable and honourable men. For the last 18 months he has been levying contri butions on tradesmen and hotel and livery-stable-keepers at the . west end of the town, to a great extent. He was taken into custody at five o'clock last evening, in the New road, Marylebone. He was riding in a handsome cab, which he had hired of a livery-stable-keeper the preceding day, and by his tilde was sitting a young well-dressed and handsome female, when he was recognised by a Mr. Bal lard, who had been defrauded by him, and who knew that a lady named Perkins had taken out a warrant against him for stealing her watch. Mr. Ballard jumped out of the chaise in which he was riding, and seirtd the reins of the horse the prisoner was driving. The prisoner whipped the horse, but Mr. Ballard unbuckled the reins, called a constable, and gave the prisoner into custody. A lady named Perkins now stated, that she resided at No. 8, Seymour-place, Euston-crescent. The prisoner took lodgings at her house for himself and a livery servant, on the 6th of March last, and represented himself as a ' man of fortune ; he usually drove out every day in a ca briolet with his servant, and sometimes rode out on horse back; he contracted a debt of 21/. with Mr. Ballard, a livery stable keeper, and gave him a check for the amount, drawn on the Stamford Bank, whieh she at his request, paid to Mr. Ballard; on the 16th of March the prisoner informed her that he had lost his watch, and he requested the loan of hers for a few days, to enable him to know the hour in the morning; she lent him a valuable watch, and on the following day the prisoner and his servant quitted the house, and she never saw the prisoner again till that evening; some time after he left her house the servant of the prisoner called upon her and produced a pawnbroker's duplicate, stating that the prisoner had pawned the watch at the shop of Mr. Ashman, in the Strand, for 31. The MAGISTRATE ordered him, under the Illegally Pawning Act, to pay a penalty of 51., or to be imprisoned for six months in the House of Correction. Several gentlemen came forward, and requested the Ma gistrate to remand the prisoner for a few days, as they were positive that numerous charges of swindling would be brought against him. The MaoisritaTE said that he could not detain the pri soner a moment after he paid the fine, unless some sub stantive charge was preferred against him. Mr. Ballard stepped forward and preferred a charge, which, he considered, amounted to either fraud or fin gery. He received a cheque from Mrs. Perkins, drawn by the prisoner for 271. upon the Stamford Bank, where the pri soner's father kept cash, and the cheque was dishonoured, as the prisoner never had had any effects there. On the above charge the prisoner was remanded. The prisoner, it appears, has been for some time dis owned by his respectable relations, owing to his profligate and dishonest conduct. Some very curious facts, of which the following are an outline, will be elicited on his next examination, when the investigation of a fraud which he practised upon the respectable proprietor of Lomas's Ho tel, will take place :—About ten days ago, the prisoner ar rived with a very interesting-looking young woman at the hotel in question. He said that the young woman was his wife, and that they bad come from the sea coast, and their luggage would follow in a day or two. He spoke of his having been engaged in the battle of Navarin, and of the affluence of his relations. He had apartments fur nished him, and he awl his fair companion lived as man and wife. On Friday last the prisoner having contracted a debt of about Si., and never having offered to pay his bill, but, on the contrary, having borrowed ten shillings of one of the waiters, the proprietor of-the hotel, on taking up the breakfast, took the liberty of asking the prisoner for payment of his bill. The prisoner took a cheque out of his pocket, and said that he had no change.— The waiter said he would get the cheque changed, and remarked that he must send the cheque out of the house to be changed. The prisoner asked for the cheque again, and, on receiving it, he said, it was drawn on a wrong stamp, and tore it to pieces. He said that he would draw another cheque on a proper stamp and pay his bill ; but he left the house soon after wards. In consequence of his not returning the same evening, the proprietor of.the hotel was induced to inquire of the female, whom the prisoner had left in the apart ments, the cause of his absence. She was in the deepest distress, and site eventually related the following particulars regarding her acquaintance with him, and of his seduction and abandonment of her. She was living (she said) with her aunt, at met with the prisoner, who went by the name of Albe marle. He frequently threw himself in her way, and pro fessed himself her ardent admirer. o_)ii various occasions he promised her marriage ; and his professions were ap parently so disinterested and honourable, that she, unknown to her friends, took repeated walks with him. About a fortnight ago he came near to her aunt's house at and ;invited her to take a walk, and she accompanied him to the sea side, when he engaged a boat. _Be lieving that they were going only a mile or two for an excursion on the water, and then return, she did not hesitate to enter the boat, but he kept her out till a late hour, and landed her at a sea-port a considerable distance &fon her home. On going on shore they proceeded to an hotel, and the prisoner promised to take her to London on the following day, and marry her. On the following day they started for London, and on their arrival they took up their abode at Lomas's Hotel, and she importuned him from day to day to procure a license and marry her; but he put it off, under the pretence that he could not get the license from Doctor's Commons for several days. She did not suspect that his designs were dishonourable till she found herself deserted by him. Left, however, as she was, with out money or ftiends, the proprietor of the hotel humanely allowed her to remain in his house till she had written to her friends, and had received a communication from them. The story she told as to the manner of her quitting her house, and of her seduction by the pikonet, has been ascer tained to be true, and she will be immediately restored to her relatives. MARLBOROUGH- # STREP.:T.—Yesterday, the late butler and under- hutleeef the Dowager Lady Gresley, who had been in custody upon a charge of creating a riot at her Ladyship's house in Conduit-street; and assaulting therein, with pokers, a young gentleman named Selby, who happened to be on a visit with her ladyship at the time, having been liberated from prison upon bail, applied to Mr. DrEa, the sitting Magistt ate, fut Warrants against Mr. Selby, the com plainant against them on the further oceasion, and who, they now alleged, had committed the first assault upon them On the day in question. Mr- DYER, however, told them, that he Must decline granting any warrant against Mr. Selby ; but th.it, if they thought they had sufficient grounds for doing so, they might indict Mr. Selby at the approaching sessions if they thought fit. _ _ . The applicants next requested to know, if the Magis trate could advise them as to the hest means of recovering; the wages that were dice to them from Lady Grealey, and the clothes Which they hdd left behithl filet itt her Lady ship's house, and to which her Ladyship now refused them any access. Mr. DYER told them that these were points with which he bad no power to interfere. If they had any claim upon Lady Gresley, they must proceed to establish it by regular legal means, and they had better, therefore, consult a so licitor upon such a subject than a Magistrate. The applicants then departed, but were not long gone, when Lady Gresley herself Came to the office in her carriage, and requested of the Magistrate to afford het the assistance of some police-officers, to protect her against the renewal of any attack from her two discharged butlers. who were then, she sail, parading in a menacing and hostile manner up and down Conduit street, in the front of her house, which, her Ladyship sAid, she very much feared they would again endeavour to force possession of, although as yet they had not made any attempt to do so. She wished, therefore to have those two men taken into custody, and removed from the street. Mr. DYER said, that FO long as the two men complained of confined themselves to walking quietly up and down the street, he had no power to interfere with or prevent them, but if they should attempt to create any riot by entering the house, or in any other way that might lead to a breach of the peace, in that case, Mr. Dyer assured her ladyship, that she should have the immediate assistance and protec tion of the officers of this offiee on her sending for them. Her ladyship then departed, apparently quite satisfied with the assurance the Magistrate had given her. MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—Among the individuals brought up yesterday morning from Marylehoneiratch house to be set at liberty, detained, fined; held to bail, or committed for trial by the sitting Magistrate, according to• their deserts, was a smartly-dressed female of middle age, and her appearance under such circumstances commanded, of course, particular attention. She at first endeavoured to conceal her features with a large lace-veil ; but Mr. RAWLINSON told her he must see her face, and it was re moved. She said her name was Eliza Cunningham, and Bartholoniew Hughes, a watchman, came forward as her ' accuser. He found her on Tuesday night, " rolling on the ground in the Edgeware-road, with a crowd of persons about her, and she could not account for herself." Mr. 11..awmt.sorr asked the watchman if he could ac count for her being in that state. " She was kneebrated," said the watchman. 6 ° Kneebrated !" replied the MAGISTRATE. " Don't use such fine words. De you mean she Was drunk ?" " She was tosticated—quite disguised, your Worship," answered the watchman ; " and her gownd was tore of her back ; not that orie she wears now (a rich poplin), but another; and as I found she had property, I took her to the watch house for protection." Mr. RAwtasrsoN said he thought the watchman had lone right, and read a catalogue of the lady's property, as entered upon the blotting paper leaf of the watch-house book. A purse, 17 shillings, three farthings,`a pair of spectacles, a comb, a lace cap, a wig—(the wig made all laugh but the lady. and she smiled)—and a wine-glass. "A wine-glass !" repeated Mr. RAWLINSON "Ah ! there's the mischief, Madam; no doubt this wineglass assisted youg.--" " I was not drunk, Sir," said Eliza Cunningham impa tiently, cutting short the sentence of the Magistrate ; " I was in a fit, Sir, such as I am subject to." Mr. Raw•r.trsox—lf so, you ought to take better care of yourself; but I must ask somebody else the question.— Where is the constable of the night ?—Constable—Here, Sir. Mr. RAWLINSON-Was this lady drunk or sober when you received the charge ?—Constable—Most beastly drunk Sir ; she could not stand upon her legs. Mr. RAWLIN sort—Most beastly drunk! Pray, madam, where do you live? —Eliza Cunningham—At Kensington, Sir. Mr. RA WLINSOS—Are you married or single ?—Eliza Cunnint;lia in—A widow, sir. Mr. RA wuNsoN—Now, madam, that you may recol lect in future the evil consequences of such conduct, I shall fine you five shillings.—Mrs. Cunningham—Very well— (taking the exact sum from between her hand and glove, and putting it down before her) ; there it is. Mr. liAwLisisos—Oh, you ktwsv the consequences, and got it ready.—Mrs. Cunningham—" Yes, Sir ;" and after making a curtsey, and throwing the veil over her fice again, she retired. A stout Irishman, named Callaghan, was placed at the bar, with his head dreadfully bruised, charged with having thrown a young child into a ditch near Primrose-hill. A labouring man saw Callaghan crossing the fields near Primrose-hill, in the dusk of Tuesday evening, with a little girl in his arms, and suspecting from his manners that he intended to ill-use her, he, with two other work men who were with him, determined on watching his mo • tions. They saw hint approach a ditch, but it was too dark for them to see what he did, and on their going to him, he took the child up, and endeavoured to get away. they heard the child cry, and when the man was questioned as to his intentions towards her, he said he was ker uncle, and was going to take her to his own house. This infor mation did not satisfy them, and " they took him right away to the watch-house." The defendant said the child was his own sister's, and he was taking it home to remain a day or two with his children. He crossed the field as the nearest way to his house, and the child having cried, he stayed a moment against a bank to scrap his coat round her. While thus engaged three men came to him, and charged hint with having thrown the child into the ditch, when, in fact, he never had the girl out of his arms. The father and mother of the child said they had not the slightest reason for supposing that Callaghan intended any harm to the child. All% RAW LI NSON—How came you by that broken head ? The defendant—lt was done in the watch-house, your Worship, because I refused to be locked up without the Mr. 11.Am:1,v:so:N . —This man seems to have been taken up very unjustly. lie is first improperly dragged to a watch-house, then locked up, and, because he wishes to have the child with him, has his head broken. lie is discharged ; and I must say, and think, he has been very ill-used. HATTON-GARDEN.—George Upward, one of the Bow-street patrol, was charged by Bolton, a watchman in Chapel-street, Pentonville, with being drunk and dis orderly. The complainant stated, that at twelve o'clock the night before, Upward was rapping violently at a door in Chapel street, and annoying the entire neighbourhood, when he came up, and findin g him in a state of intoxication, took him off to the watch-house. The defendant explained by saying thnt he was called upon to search after a thief, who, he was informed, had just then got into the area of one of the houses in Chapel-street. While he left his informant to watch the area, he went himself to the front door of the house, and rapped, to alarm the inmates of the circumstance, and to gain a dmittance for the purpose of examining whether any person had got in. The inmates happened at the time to be in bed and asleep, which rendered it necessary for him to knock louder than ordinarily, when the watchman came up and accused hint of being disorderly and drunk; he told him who he was, produced his authority, and said he was in the execution of his duty, but to no purpose, for the watchman would listen to no remonstrance, and farced him away to the watch-house. " Many of these watch - men," said Upward, " I know to be in conjunction with gangs of midnight robbers, and render them every facility in their power to commit robberies, and afterwards make good their escape." Mr. Sergeant Srrros reprobated in the strongest terms the interference of the watchman with the patrol, and hay- ing heard some further evidence, corroborative of the de fendant's statement, and also a very excellent character of him for sobriety and attention to his duty, discharged him, and said, if he thought proper to use them, there were means in his hands whereby he might punish the watch mac for his conduct upon the occasion. LAMBETH-STREET.--SHOCKING 01:TRACE AND MIJADEv..—A miserable-looking Irishwoman, named Eleanor Haddicorn, was charged by a poor woman named Catherine Crawley, with the following atrocious outrage : —The complainant stated that, on that morning, while at breakfast, the prisoner excited her daughter, who has ab stonded, to pour the tea-kettle, full of boiling wafer, over her tivo infants, which she immediately did, the prisoner calling tint " rfdra i t spare them !" Complainant endea voured to protect her chil'dra, but the wretches were not satisfied till they had poured the o}l6le errntesits of the kettld over the infants. Assistance was at length pro cured, and the prisoner was secured, but the daughter escaped. One of the little sufferers was immediately taken to the Hospital. The other, a babe in arms, was produced in the Office. It presented a most shocking appearance, the head and body being most severely scalded, and it ap peared to be in great agony from the injuries it had re-, ceived. , The prisoner made no defence, and she was com. mittaal in default of bail. In the afternoon her daughter was apprehended, and brought to this Office. On being placed at the bat, the Magistrate was informed that the in fant in the Hospital had died ; and the two prisoners were remanded for a further examination, to await the result of the Coroner's Inquest. The other infant is so dreadfully injured o that it is not expected to survive. WORSHIP-STREET.—Ann Millar was yesterday morning brought in custody of one of the officers of this establishre&nt, charged as being the woman who, on the tEh of this month, inveigled as 01,1 man named Nicholas Mapleson, residing near Boston, in Lincolnshire, to a house of ill-fame in Petticoat-lane, Whitechapel. On the day above-mentioned the complainant, while walking in Whitechapel, was accosted by the prisoner at the bar, who represented herself to be a widow in great • distress. The complainant, Mr. Mapleson, who is a man turned of 60, feeling for her misfortune, invited the pri soner to take a glass of brandy and water, for which pur pose they entered the nearesqublie-house, where the pri soner informed him that she lived in the vicinity of the house they were then in. The complainant accompanied the prisoner Ironic to Dillon's-court, Petticoat-lane, where, on entering her room, lie found (in appearance) every thing corresponded with what (as respected her distress) she had before mentioned. After shutting the door of the prisoner's room, to which he had been politely attended by. the landlady of the house (Sarah Robins), he, with thy intention of giving the prisoner Millar half-a-crown, pulled off his coat, in the pockets of which were deposited 321. in gold and bank-notes. No sooner had he laid his ciat on a chair, when in came (bursting open the door) two others, a man and the woman Robins, the latter of whom instantly seized the complainant's coat, and ran off, the former having, with a tremendous blow, previously given, knocked him (the complainant) down. He in stantly got up, and a violent scuffle ensued. Ultimately the landlady (Robins) was secured and brought to this office, and committed for trial. The other party con cerned unfortunately escaped, and with the complainant's coat, in which were seventeen sovereigns and fifteen 11. notes of the Boston Bank, and some silver. The C.Olll - having then no coat, was obliged to walk from Petticoat-lane to Charter-house-square, where he was then residing, in his shirt sleeves. Mr. Twvroan (the Sitting Magistrate) ordered the prisoner to be remanded for one week, in order that the complainant, Mapleson, who has since left town, should be written to, ordering his attendance. Lady Price, the wife of a Baronet, was summoned before the Magistrates, charged with assaulting Eliza Essex. The complainant stated that she was a servant, and that her mistress resided next door to her Ladyship; that on Sunday week Lady Price, without any provocation on her (complainant's) part, ran into the yard, which serves for both houses, and there flung a dirty cloth into her mouth, at the same time calling her a stinking strumpet. Mr. Twvroan—Have you any witnesses? If so, call them. John Capron (a witness) deposed to his being present on the occasion, and said that the defendant did so as stated by the complainant. - Lady Price—She said I was Sir Edward's kept woman. Pray, your Worships, are such expressions to be tolerated ? She says, also, that all my children are bastards ! Complainant—All I said was, that ker children were no more the daughters of a Baronet than I am. In short, they are always insulting me, and annoying me in every way possible, calling me by names I do not choose here to mention. Mr. 'f w v Fox D—( Ts the former witness)—Pray, young man; is that part of Lady Price's statement correct, where she charges the complainant with using indecent language, revious to the assault bring committed.—Capron—Why, yes. She is (the complainant) always talking about the Baronet's daughters. Mr. Twv roan—That's a good young man, always speak the truth. Capron—Not satisfied with making use of epithets which are disgraceful (on her Ladyship's premises), she (complainant) gives every publicity to them by expres sions elsewhere. Mr. TWYTORD-Then I shall lismiss the charge. The complainant having left the 4fice, Lady Price ap plied to the Magistrate fur a warrant against her (the com plainant); but, at the suggestion of Mr. Twyford, who thought the matter had better drop at present, leer Lady ship retired. UNION-HALL—Yesterday a man named Noakes, in the employ of ,Mr. Maudslay, the engineer, was brought up in custody, charged with robbing his master of several articles used in the manufactory. The complainant stated, that the firm had sustained considerable losses, owing to the dishonesty of some of the workmen employed vn their extensive premises. The pri soner had been 16 yea! s in their service, and was theretine considered, until latterly, a trust-worthy man. In conse quence, however, of various articles used in the machinery having been missed, a strict watch was kept to detect the thief ; and on the preceding evening, when the work was over, and the men about quittint tbe premises, the prisoner was discovered in the act of billing a bag with rivet•, a great number of which had been taken away, and when lee had filled it, and was leaving the manufactory, with the bag concealed under his apron, be was stopped with the property in his possession. The prisoner was committed. Very recently five Jews of respectability, of cod property, sad of considerable learning and acquire ments, have been converted to the Christian Faith, within the city of London : This important event was consum mated some time since; but being desirous, at least for a time. of remaining in quietness and peace, and being dis posed to avoid all hasty and open profession of their f 4 ti, they, till lately, took no step which afforded a fair oppor tunity of bringing the fact under public view, On the 20th of June, however, they transmitted to Mr. PEEL, for presentation to his MAJESEV, a most superb copy of the Prayer-book of the Church of England, which that gentleman lost no time in placite4 in his MAJESTY'S bands. • It was accompanied with the following inscriptions:— TO Ins MOST GRACIous MAJEsTV KING GEORGE MI; FoURTR, 'Fins BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER IS HUMBLY PRESENTED As A TESTIMONY OF THEIR 111011 VENERATION FOR TUE LITURGY OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, AND OF 1 HEIR LOYALTY TO THEIR BELOVED SOVEREIGN, BY FIVE JEWS, CONVINCED OF THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIAN] lA. The following characteristic paragraph appears in the Courier des Tribunaux :—Madatne ALLE was passing the other 'lay along one of the streets in Paris, car rying on her arm a rich and elegant reticule; a M. Bou- LA NC; ER, who cannot bear the idea of his fair country women being reproached with the least ridicule, snatched at that of Madame ALLE and ran away. Being pursued, however, by the lady and overtaken, he was thus addressed Rascal, my reticule." " Well, what do I know about it?" " You have it in your hind." " This? this is one which I have just found." " It's mine." " Who says the contrary? take it." " And you, rascal, go and get hanged elsewhere ;" (va to fiirc pendre riilleurs, which is the common observation on allowing a thief to escape without punishment.) A police agent, however, who happened to Ire upon the spot, did sot exactly agree with Madame ALIA , : in opinion as to the propriety of suffering M. Poe- LANt;ER to escape that he might commit some other crime and be hanged elsewhere, and therefore arrested him. On Wednesday last he underwent his trial, and was sentenced to one year's imprisonment. ANCIENT SONGS OF SCOTLAND.—We have great pleasure in announcin to our readers, that Mr. PETER BucuAN, of Peterhead, has in the press, and nearly ready far publication, a large collection of unpublished an cient Songs of the North of Scotland. The indefatigable Editor has gleaned the whole from the traditionary recita tions of the peasantry of the north country. The mann .script has been examined by Sir WALTER SCOTT, and several other distinguished literary characters, all of whom speak of the songs in terms of the highest commendation. We trust that Mr. BucnArm's praiseworthy exertions to preserve these valuable records of the ancient history of th e northern portion of his native country, will meet with that public approbation and reward to which they are eminently entitled.—Elyin Courier.

CATTLE Ma it K ET. —Notwithstanding the stormy state of the day, an immense number of cattle appeared on the Sands—their numbers were as follows, viz.----783 three- , year-olds ; 514 Two-year-olds; 130 Highlanders; 351. Stirks; 109 Queys and Heifers, and 27 Cows--totals, 1,914. Although we have seen some excellent lots of drove cattle this season, we must confess that, in every respect, this day's show surpassed them all. The best lot exposed, consisted of 105 Aberdeenshire Runts, bought at the late Falkland fair, and for bone and we do not often see their equal ; 141. 10a. per head was asked far them, but they were driven off unsold. The next hest lot 011 the Sands was a score of the Galloway breed, grazed'on the' border, and being fresh off their pasture,- were-in the highest condition, and although a great deal fatter, they wanted much of the bone and size of the limits above mentioned ; " a sight o' them," as a rustic observed, "was amaist as quid as a dinner to ony body;" 14/. per head was asked for the score, and 13/. was offered, but they ' were driven off unsold. Three lots of Calloways, atnount ing to nearly 100 each, sold at about 11/. per head, and so.' far as we are aware, this was the highest price obtained ' for drov e beasts in the' market ; the next price ob' tained was ten guineas per head for a small lot, and 101- 6s. was received for another. The remaining part of the show sold at every price front 81. to 9/. 9s. per head , • The market was attended by, a few English dealers, Who did a deal of business, and what pleased the sellers extra ordinarily, they paid for their purchases in Bank of Eng - ' land notes.. Prices, however, are still considered low, and were even said to be a little below those of this day week; notwithstanding, with the exception of the two heavy lots, almost all were sold off. The greater part of this day. show of (trove beasts were intended for Woolpit Farr , which takes place on the 17th September ; next Wedne o- . • day, however, will be the great show-day for this fair , consequently we may expect the Sands to. be well filled , The farmers bought largely of the Inman cattle, and prieo were considered fair; Galloway two-years-olds sold ts from Si. to 71. 10s., and Stirks frotn 41. to Si. 10s. The . show of Highlanders was inconsiderable, but most of then ) were disposed of; prices of mixed lots of two-years-olds rated from 41. to 61. 10s. The appearance of the MAO was likewise very trifling, but a few purchases were mode' '' carts.--We had a brisk market for Pigs to day, and the most of the supply was sold ; prices reel from 9s. to 16s. per head, but we think- 12a. or 13 6, • per head is the average price of Pigs, of from )5.t0 1 6 weeks old. MAIL COACH ACCIDENT'.—A dreadful ae' citient occurred on Saturday, to the passengers on the karnstaple and Bristol Mail, in consequence of its over' turning at Wiveliscombe. It appears that the mail had just changed horses, and that, from some cause which doe nut -appear, one of the leaders became restive, whieb frightened the other horses, and there being neither co ach' man nr guard on the mail, or any one having the reio s, they went off at full sp ee d, and within tw en ty yards of the inn the coach was turned over, by which a lady Wl' so notch injured that she was left for dead; a gentlema n was also very much hurt, and but little hopes are e nter' tained of his recovery; a servant had her arm broken•-"' the fractures are such that amputation must take place and the other passengers were more or less injured. Vi e mail did not arrive in Bristol till au hour and a quarter alter its usual time. BIRTHS. On the 27th instant, the lady of R. W.
