That this mediation bee been unsuccessful is universally admitted ; and that it has produced e'reeh commotions, and led to new disputes, is equally incontestable. The disturbances in Greece are now entirely merged in the quarrel of Russia with the Porte ; and what was a mere effort of revolution—an isolated struggle between the Felt and his fief lord—has changed into a war of ter ritory, a question of aggrandizement, a dispute involving the balance of power among the 'eett e Wished Governments of Europe. That these difficulties have resulted from tire Treaty of the 6th July, and the " untoward" manner in w hi c h is unquestionabl e , Th at that treaty was inforced, the conflict at Navarin e rnost unjustaird entleaee donable outrage that ever was eateenitted by friends upon an unoffenditeg ,allyee.tas the signal gun of commotions, resentineeees, and suspicions among all the nations of Europe, is equally in disputable. It gave a pretext for the invasion, of the Russians ; and as it promoted the views of the French nation, countenanced the efforts of the revolutionists, identified Great Britain with the designs of the Provisional Government of Greece, and its•illustrious Protector, Capo d'lstria, it aroused the fears of Austria, anel all tre inferior States of Germany bordering upon Italy, or situate on the confines of Turkey. That these fears were more than imaginary will be proved by the result. Russia took the ad vantage of the retaliatory acts which naturally followed the battle of Nayarit', In the list of her grievances the closing of the Bosphorus was a conspicuous one. The embargo upon her trade—the restraint upon her navigation—the treatment of her subjects resident in Constanti nople, although the natural and necessary conse quences of her own acts, were represented as the just grounds of war. Had this outrage not taken place she would not have had even a pretext for her subsequent belligerent measures. She took advantage of an unfortunate and unforee seen occurrence, and rushed to the charge, not withstanding the remonstrances of Austria and England. The latter Power was, nevertheless, bound to carry into efflict the treaty to which we have alluded. An unfortunate collision had taken place—his Majesty expressed his regret that it had occurred—still the British Govern ment, faithful to its engagements, determined to fulfil the pacigc conditions of the treaty. The Duke of Wellington stands pledged to fulfil the engagements of the treaty. He is still disposed to exert his power to arrange the differences of Greece, and to restore to that country the peace which Europe desires, and the independence which the Greeks have sisen up in arms to en orce. But the question of emancipation sinks before the momentous occurrences which have sprung out of this national desire of freed om and independence. We lose sight of the struggle in the Morea in contemplating the movements and the designs of Russian ambition. It is no w plain, that if the balance of power in the East of Europe is to be preserved, we must inter , fere to retard the movements of Nicholas. We have a deep stake in the quarrel. We must have a neutral Power between us sled the libe rality of the Russians. During the hottest wars in Europe we had the free navigation of the Dar danelles. We must provide against the risk of this commercial franchise being; distinguished, and we must take care that our trade in the Black Sea is not put under the controul of a Power whose interest it is to exclude us from it. Russia never had any station in the Mediterranean, and we ought to be careful that she shall net pos sess this station to our injury. It is a question of ancient lights. It involves the existence of Turkey, as an independent Power, and it also involves our right of commerce. If we should ever sacrifice these rights, it would be an evi dence of our imbecility. So long as we have a ship of war, or a farthing to expend in our de fence, we must maintain the free navigation of the straits leading to the Black Sea, independent of any commercial concession s on the part of the Emperor Nicholas. And on this point, we understand, the' Duke of Wellington has demanded explanations. H e questions not the honour of the Emperor of . Russia. He expresses no opinion as to his motives ; he questions not the policy, the expe diency, nor the necessity of. the present hostili ties. He is only anxious to know the nature of the guarantees which are intended to secure to us our prescriptive rights, and preserve us against the consequences of the success of his arms. These explanations we have formally demanded. Our Ambassador has been sent to demaed these explanations, and has instructions to follow his Imperial Majesty to Odessa, in order to receive them. Whether the Russians pass the Balkan this summer, or the next, does not at all alter the question. Whether the Russians are de feated in their object or not, does not alter the question. We wish to know what they will do, under certain circumstances, and our Envoy is instructed to require satisfactory explanations on this head. What will be the result we can not conjectur e , but this we know, England will never pennit Russia to acquire or possess the command of the Dardanelles.--Nero Times. A Provincial Meeting was held on Monday last, at Clonmel, most numerously attended. Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Sbiel, and other distin guished individuals addressed the meeting. Mr. O'Connell said, he expected to be i n t h e B r i t i sh House of Commons in February next, and his first question to them shall be, what have they done for Ireland, for these 656 years d ur i ng which they have had possession of the country ? It is much more easy to put such a question than to answer it. The best defence that can be made for the conduct of the English with re spect to Ireland in former times is, that they were cruel because they were ignorant. So in defensible was the conduct of England to Ireland, in former times, that Fletcher, of Salton, made use of the circumstance as an argument to per suade his countrymen not to connect themselves by an incorporating union with a p e ople who could so far abuse their power. Giving an ac count of his conversation with an English states man, he says, " I desired to know his opinion of the usa ge their own colony in Ireland had re ceived from them, and that he would excuse me if I should let fall any expression about that matter which might seem hard—because, in case h e should give me satisfaction in this particular, I should very much incline to an incorporating union of the two nations. As to my question concerning Ireland, he said h e was of opinion that a good measure of strictness and severity is absolutely necessary, to keep them from the thoughts of setting up for themselves, and pre tending to depend no longer upon En g l an d . said that some ' late writers had undertaken to prove, by authentic records, that the relation of that country to England was foundedrather up on a very strict union than a conquest. But cer tainly, though the native Irish were conquer e d, your own colony was not ; which yet you favour ed only till you saw them begin to flourish and get rich. And to show what we are to expect, if ever we begin to thrive, though never so lond after our union, I shall give some instance of your conduct towards Ireland in relation to trade. A law yin, made, that n"o tobacco should be planted either in England or Ireland; and another that no person, 'except "6 . 1 England or Ireland, might trade to the tnglish plantations. Yet, in the time of King Charles 11., great I,yl - 43'.Vips and i m p e di men t s were l a id upon, all those who should trade from Ireland_ to the English plantations, thoth thy were still obliged to observe the law against planting tobacco in Ireland, And till the time of the late King, no law 'was made in England for encouraging the woollen manufacture, but the like enconrage ments were given to tt'le people of Ireland. Yet, during that teign, a law was made, which prohi bits ne exportation 'of all wOcilen manufactures fom Irelatid to 11*!ign parts, and lays so high a duty upon all that shall be importpd thence into England as amounts f.'s', a prohibition. I forbear to mention iiu'iy , other hardships put upon that ca' - miry." Down to our own days the cor.luct of England towards Ireland has bten narrow and illiberal in titie. extreme. At one time it was coornsed for the benefit of Eng lish agricidinie, and at another for the benefit 01 the English woollen manufacture. DriVg ing statesmen, whose speeches remain as a mo nument of the wisdom. of our ancestors, ima gined, no doubt, the keeping Ireland miserable and degraded was a master-piece of policy. iiut what d oes E ng l an d mean to coonow ? Mr. Shiel put this question fairly. Taking it for granted that the Duke of Wellington cared nothing for honour, principle, the public good, es.- his own fame, but viewed the question as one of mere convenience, he observed it was impos sible for him not to see that his best course was to favour the Catholics : " I shall begin with the Protestants 01eirded, while we are at peace. The Protestants of Ireland are offended I Well, what Mighty evil will come (Cheers.)—But it will be said that they are the proprietors of the fee-simple of Ireland, and that the Government should accommodate itself to the wishes of the aristocr ac y, by Whiek the H ouse o f Commons is e l ecte d afrd .controulled. Sir, the Irish aristocracy do not elect the Irish. Members.—(Loud Cheers.)—They are returned by the Catholic body; and, at this day, the Catholic ASsociation commands far more votes in Parliament than the whole of the Irish proprietors.—(Cheers.) We are masters of the representation.—(Vehensent . cheers.)—We have wrenched their influence from the gentry, and the Protestant who draws rent from thousands of acres is almost as destitute of power at an election as the peasant without a rood. I have put the matter most strongly against myse lf When I have conceded that the Protestant esntry bold the entire property of the country; bit in truth, the Protestant opulente is gradually melting away, and our merthants and gra tiers are treading fast upon the heels of the Williamite colonists. I have thtes disposed of the first branch of Protestant ittdlgnation.—(Laughter.)—l now come to the second division of Protestant indignation, and will suppose that England was at svai.—a French army of 20,000 men land en the coast—the loyal Irish Catholics, with the Duke of Wellington at their head, rall,since to meet the invaders, will the Protestants join him ? Will they make a bouquet of the orange lily and the fleur-de-lys ? Will Master Ellis, with his four hundred thousand men in buckram, overthrew the British empire ? Will Messrs. Schoales and Lefroy go forth like Hudibras and Sidrophol, " a Coloneling ?" and will Mr. Saurin merge the prejadices of the Hugonot in the predilections of the rrenchman, to such an ex tent as to make uh oblation of his religious hatred to a sentiment of retrospective nationality, and assert his Gallic origin in dediettitig himself to the service of that ceuntv from which his an cestors were vomited amongst ?—(Cheers.) I have done with the Protestant indignation both at peace and in war, and I come to the counter consideration, what have the Government to ap prehend from our resentment in peace ?—an an swer to that question is s'applied by what we ac tually behold, Is not the country agitated by the most dreadful passions —does Hot a tremendous er ganication extend over the island ? Ar not all the natural bonds by which men are: tied together broken and burst asunder ? Are not all the relations of so ciety which exist elsewhere gone ? , Has not pro perty lost its influence ? has not rank been stripped of the respect which should belong to it and has not an internal government - zrown tip, which, gra dually superseding the legitimate authorities, has armed itself with a complete domination ? Do Waterford, and Louth, and Clare, supply no remi niscences, and afford no warnings?—(Loud titters.) Is it nothing that the whole body of the clergy are in a state of alienation from the State, and that the Catholic gentry. and peasantry, and priesthood, are all combined in one vast confederacy ?—(Loud Cheers,)—So much for Catholic indignation while we are at peace. And when Enghtnd shall be in volved in war . . • lpause—it is not necessary that. I should discuss that branch of the division, or point to the cloud which, charged with thunder, is hanging over our heads." We build our hopes on the circumstance that property has lost its influence, and that the Irish Aristocracy do not elect the Irish Members. This will facilitate the operations of his Grace exceedingly. It would be expecting too much from him to suppose, that with the English and Irish Aristocracy hostile, that is, without means of acting, he would attempt the settlement of the question. But it would be supposing him a downright fool to imagine that when two courses arc open to him, one easy and expedient and the other desperate, that he would rush upon the latter. We have a better opinion of his head. Let, then, the Catholics continue to agitate, and the Duke will be forced to take the hmt.--Morning Chronicle. It is the fashion to talk of the Turks not only as infidels, but barbarians. If there be any truth in Buonaparte's celebrated remark, that from, the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step," not less true is it that the distance be tween what the world calls civilization and bar barism is no farther. If the accounts which we received of some of the proceedings of these barbarians be correct, they furnish exam ples, however, from which the much-boasted civilizatio n of some more polished and Christian States might with much advantage tear a leaf. We instance, as a proof of this, one feature, in particular, of their conduct towards the Russians in their present contest--.a contest, whatever may be its result, the aggravation of which, it must be admitted, lies all on one side. Notwith standing the provocation which the infidels and barbarians have received—_notwithstanding the fact of their capital being threate ne d with assault, and that vows of extermination salut e them on every side—we learn, from c r edibl e authority, that the commercial flag of Russia has free ac cess to the Turkish ports, and that 'h as ,. an subjects are not in any way molested in the Ot toman dominions. New any one who will Com_ pare this with the conduct of some civilized States towards the subjects of each other must acknowledge, we suspect, not only that our boasted preponderance over these barbarians, as we call them, is only in name ; but that, in fact, civilization sinks to nothing in the scale.• It has been justly remarked that this conduct entitles th e lurks to an increased sympathy from all nations, and is calculated to pave the way to an accommodation of their present difficulties.-- That it ought to do so there can be no doubt ; but that it will do so it would be rather bold to augur. Let us hope, at all events, that such conduct as the 'Forks are now exhibiting towards the subjects of their most implacable enemy will not be lost upon other States, either as regards the differences which now disturb the repose of Europe', or in apy, fhture wars tinit mey arise ; end that tho'se who boast of Christianity and ci vilization will not be ashamed to take a lesson from a Power which, though sometimes put out ofthe pale of humanity, shows a more steik i !tvi e , example of foilefteance; and oi* a desire to sonen ttie horrOre war, than any Christian State has 'ever yet exhibited.—Morning -Herald. The conduct of Russia—the Ultimate oblecte which that power is generally supposed to have in view-the probability which is now distinctly Visible and openly acknowledged by every class of politicians in every European StAt'r_s, that the end of her dipioiPthic contrivances and military &bits will be the permanent subjection of Eu ropean Turkey, attest the accuracy of the view which we took from the i'lest of the Treaty of Intervention in the affairs of Greece. All are agreed that this increase to the dominions of Russia threatens Europe With bdiaiiiiiks and the liberal politicians of England and France, woo have at length opened their eyes to the danger, have done so apparently for no other than the futile purpose of rushing into a senseless discussion PS to the verious degrees in which the r . A. , .Veial Cabinets of Europe have contributed to produce it. Nothing can be more absurd than this discussion. It is as evident as circum stances can render it, that Russia has acted throughout upon a deliberate scheme of aggran dizement ; that she alone, of all the Powers, has steadily pursued a predetermined purpose ) and that no refinement of diplomacy—no projects or contrieences—nothing in the policy of other Powers short of the resolution to go to war for the protection of Turkey, could have stayed her in her course. Is any one so ignorant of the state of Russia as to believe that its ignorant, barbarous, and servile population was capable of a genuine and spontaneous feeling of sympathy for the Greek cause, or that such a feeling would ever have arisen had not the Govern ment been active and zealous to excite it ? Is any one so ignorant of the character of the Russian Government as to suppose that its interference in favour of the Greeks was dictated by the pure sentiment of philanthropy—by its bonne of Turkish barbarity—by any regard to the rights of humanity—or any sympathy with the generous impulses of freedom ? The sup position is the romance' of idiotty ; yet We find politicians, or ',el-60ns pretending to political knowledge, degrading their own understandings, and insulting the understandings of their readers, by affecting to entertain it, for no other reason than because it enables them to ascribe the actual posture of Russia to the policy of Prince Metter nich, which withheld Austria from becoming a party to the Treaty of Intervention, and ren dered her lukewarm in advancing its ostensible object, and to the manly candour with which the Government of the Duke of 'Wellington in England has since characterised the atrocity of Navarin. The invasion of Turkey by Russia, not only Without concurrence of her confederates in the Treaty of Intervention, but in opposition to their wishes, and upon pretences which either existed at the time when the Treaty was con cluded, or for subsequent offences, ap plied no more to Russia than to the other mem bers of the alliance—proclaimed to England and to France, not that any thing had arisen to change the views of Russia, but that she had now 'found the: eeaseinable 'thement to carry her original intentions into effect—in a word, that when they made themselves parties to the Treaty, they became at that moment the dupes of Russia. The superior penetration of Prince Metternich was the cause that Austria alone, of all the great European Powers, escaped the snare ; and he is now, accordingly reproached, by the adulators of Mr. Canning 's wisdom and foresight, of having produced the evil : which he alone ; among EUrd pean Statesmen their in the possession of power, distinctly foresaw, and which might probably have been averted or reduced, if others had been en dowed with the same sagacity and prudence. The true policy of England and France, when Russia became importunate in her hypocritical zeal for the pacification of Greece, was to have taken direct measures for the suppression of piracy in the East, and to have declared their resolution neither to interfere by force beyond this, Mir to permit any other power so to interfere in the quar rel between the Turks and the Greeks: This policy would have had the. further advantage of being consonant to the law of nations. It is not cer tain, indeed, that this course would have pre vented the invasion, or even the dismemberment of Turkey by the arms of Russia but it is clear that her teenptation to aggression, and her chances of success, would have been diminishe&- , - , that England and France would not have incurred that disgrace under which they now labour; of having directly contributed to the accomplishment of her ambitious design;—that her councils might have keen distracted and her eflbrts pare lysed—that compelled, as she would thee have been, to forego or postpone any immediate inter ference on behalf of the Greeks, and confined tti a direct attack upon Turkey, her tharetiter ant', purposes *weld have been at once un- Masked—and that she would not have been im pelled and strengthened, at the commencement of her ambitious career, by the nilstaken ap plause) or her victim discouraged and enfeebled by the blind and thoughtless condemnation of the rest of the world. The end could not have been worse, had this sound and 1101i4st policy been adopted, than it now seems likely to be ; and had the principles ascribed.to PrinceMetter hich fortunately prevailed;ilet tile bnke of Wellington then been at the head of the British Government, we confidently believe the clanger which now impends over Eatipd Woiiid have been averted, Thus much at least is clear, that the character of the British Government would, in this case, have escaped the dap and lasting injury which the policy of our Liberals has un questionably inflicted.—Morning Post. TIIE HARVEST.-All the apprehensions which have been felt for the fate of the Corn Crops, and the supply of the staff of life, are happily at an end, The weather for nearly the last fortnight, but particularly for a few days past, has, in this part of the country, been un usually fine and warm, for the season. Indeed, slnte the field s of grain have been fit for the sickh?, every thing is propitious, and we can state, on good authority, that, for at least twenty miles round Leeds, little or no damage has been sustained by the grain, nor will there be scarcely a sheaf unsaved at the close of a week. In the south, we can, ind ee d, well understand, that the earlier maturity of the crop, r en d ered it liable to injury from the heavy rains du r i ng last moon ; but, on the whole, there must be, perhaps, better than an average return throughout the kingdom. The markets, sa a natural consepence, are tilling, sad both grow er and consumer, we anticipate, will eventually be content...-Leeds intelligencer. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

The prisoner admitted that his name, was as. it is above stated, and that his only reason foi ciineealing th'e nanie of CoShain was, that ii would get into the newspapers. The prisoner was fully committed for trial for the misde meanor, but told that he might put in bail, provided that his sureties were respectable. Ryan and ,George, the two young men who stand chaied with breaking tiii6 the hoiise of Lady Raffles, at Highfield-house, Rear Hendon, were brought up to examined, but remanded, in order to give the officers an opportunity of investigating the case. MARL BOROUGH- STREET. --James Hake, the driver of the hackney.coach No. 447, appeared upon a tummonS to answer the complaint of Earl Ferrers, who charged him with taking More than hls legal fare. Earl Ferrers being s.rOrii, stated, that dri Saturday night last he hired the defendant, who conveyed him from a very near part of the New-road to his Lordship's own house, in Harley-street, and for which drive the defendant demanded and received from his Lordship 2e., whereas the legal fare was not more at the outside than Is. Gr. The defendant, in reply to the charge, declared that lie had never i 3 e i his Ldrdship's face in all his life Before, dor did he drive his Lordship or any body else either on Satur day or Saturday night to Harley -street, and his Lordship must therefore be mistaken altogether in his man. Earl Ferrers said, that he was not in the least mistaken, for not only he himself but also a gentleman who accom panied him at thr, time, examined the number of the coach very accurately, and clearly saw that it was No. : the other gentleman was at present in the country, but lie (Lord Ferrers) himself was quite satisfied as to the exact ness of the number. The coachman said that it was quite impossible his Urdship could be right, because he, the defendant, had a written list of every fare he drove during the whole of Saturday, from the time he left home in the morning until he returned at night, and there was not one fare to Harley street, or any place in that neighbourhood. " And besides," said the coachman, " if I had been the man, your Lordship AVould know me again by m y vice." Lor: rerrers—Your vice l what have I to do with your vice or your virtue, man? I only know that if you are the driver of No. 477, you are the man who drove me and charged me 2s. on Saturday night, The coachman here explained, that he meant to say his Lordship would know him by his speech, his voice, and not his vice, as his Lordship supposed : but he persisted most solemnly in declaring that he drove no fare whatever on Saturday to Harley-street. _ _ The ALIGISTKATE asked the defendant if his vehicle was a coach or a chariot ? Defendant—A chariot, your Worship. Earl Ferrers—Exactly so; a tbatiot it tag. The MAGISTRATE asked the coachman the colour of him chariot ? Defendant—lt is a yellow chariot, your worship. Earl Ferrers—Exactly so ; a yellow chariot it was. The defendant again, with tears in his eyes, and cer tainly with every appearance of sincerity, declared that he was not the offender, and handed in to the Magistrate the list of every fare he had dtiven on Saturday, where he took them up and where lie get them do:tn. He had now, he said, been 24 years a driver of hackney-coaches in London, and during that long time he had bad only three masters, and never in his life bad a complaint been made against him before this, which he protested was utterly groundless. Earl Ferrers again repeated that he was quite certain as to the number of the chariot, and although he had little doubt but that the defendant himself was the very person who drove, it was possible that another might have held the reins, for the defendant had another man with him on the box at the time, and this was the trick these fellows resorted to when eummoned, Defendant—if was tint perfectly cf:rtain before that your Lordship was wrong as to the number, this would convince me, for I never in my life suffered any one to sit on the box with me, and that is well known to be my prac tice : perhaps the number was 774. Earl Ferrero--No, it was not 774. Defendant - It might be then 74T. Earl Ferrers—No, indeed, it was not 747. Defendant—May be it might be 407. Earl Ferrers—No, I tell you, it was no other number but 477. I looked particularly at the figures, and they were distinctly a 4, a 0, a 7, and then another 7. The clerk here siiggeeted that the figures thus named and placed by his Lordship made 4.077, and not 477. Earl Ferrers—Well, I don't care : those I have mentioned were,.l think, certainly the figures. Mr. Bishop said that there was no such number as 4,077, the highest number of hackney-coaches being 1,200 lieenso. Earl Verrers—lt is, perhaps, possible that I may he mistaken as to the nought; but I am quite Certain ao to the 4 and the two sevens but I shall not now press the case further against the defendant—only let him take this as a caution. Defendant--A tatition for what, your Lordship? It was not my coach your Lordship bad at all. Earl Ferrers—Well, well, I shall take an opportunity hereafter of satisfying the Magistrate, when my friend cothes to town, that the number was 477. The defendant was then discharged, and his Lordship had to pay all the costs, and he gave the coachman Is. 6d. for his loss of tune; MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—iohn Vont, an old man still possessing a great deal of vigour, was brought before Mr. GRIFFITH, by one of the street-keepers, for brutally disaultitig a young girl who sells vegetables and fruit in the streets. The complainant told the following stoty rich a great deal of simplicity It 6 cirri sitting in Tiehfield-stteet, with a basket of brocoli and apples far sale; the defendant came up to her, and asked her if her tient *as not Ann Voley?

Mr. Kirby said he hoped some allowance would be made for heat of temper. _ . . fir John said there could be no excuse for that ; he iirgs andst groesly insulted by the epithets applied to him, and lie now wished to Mr; Kirby if he did not always punctually pay him his bills. Mr. Kirby—Certainly, Sir John, you aiw'ays etc. Mr. MAuitioTT censured the defendant's conduct, which he said was most intolerable and disgraceful. If it hail been a bill for 5001. instead of 55., and owing a twelve month, midi scandalous conduct could not he defended; besides, the epithets used wets d.ominable ; he was sure n• respectable tradesmen would apprb such conduct. Mr. GREGORIE agreed with his colleague, and said that the excuse about having the bill back was a mere evasion; as the defendant had the particulars of it at home. Their judgment eras, that the defendant pay a fine to the King of 40s. and costs, or be imprisoned 1.1 days in the House of Correction, Mr. Kirby here spoke priVately to Sir John, when the defendant was ordered td be called in again. Sir John then said, that ai it hetd been intimated to him that the defendant's circumstances were not such but that the fine would hear hard upon him, he would not press the payment provided he made an apolou in the office, as 1 - :e had no vindictive feeling towards him ; at the same time he was not sure that he was doing right towards the public, for such insolent and violent conduct he never before witnessed. The defendant, after a short consultation with his friends, made the necessary apology in the office, and expressed his sorrow for what had occurred. Sir John said he was perfectly satisfied, and the parties retired. LAMBETH-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. Chambers, a respectable miller, residing at Great Ockendon, in Essex, was brought before the sitting Magistrates, Messrs. HARD WICK and WYATT, in the custody of the parish officers of St. George's in the East, to show cause, if any be had, why he refused contributing to the support of an illegiti mate male child. A very good-looking young woman, of about 18 years of age, made the necessary depositions. Mr. WYATT asked the reputed father if he had any reason to assign why an order for the maintenance of his child should not be made out against him ? Mr. Chambers re plied that he had. He had already paid for its support the round sum of 1601. to a Mr. Fry, a respectable gentleman then residing in the 2dile•end-road, and the uncle of the young woman ; and by him he was assured that he never more should be troubled on the subject. He had his re ceipt for the money, and was then ready to produce it. (The receipt was produced accordingly.) Mr. WYATT observed, that under these circumst,nces it was a great hardship that Mr. Chambers should be now called upon to answer any demands on the infant's account, but though he had paid so large a sum, he was not exempted from the liability he was under to the parish officers. Allen, the beadle, said, that the young woman about seven months since thought proper to get married, and it was in consequence of the husband's refusing to keep the child any longer that the parish was compelled to adept the present proceedings. A respectable middle-aged woman here stepped forward and said, that her son, who is quite a youth, and not yet out of his apprenticeship, was inveigled into the match with the girl they had then before them, and it ought not to be expected that besides being obliged to submit to the degra dation of such an union, he should also be subjected to the support of her bastard child. Mr. WYATT asked if he was aware of her former lapse, and of her having had a child before he married her? The mother—l believe not, Sir. The wife—He certainly was, your Worship : be is now outside himself, and you can ask him. The husband, quite a stripling, was then called in, and asked by Mr. WYATT if he knew that his wife had bad an illegitimate chill before he had married her ? He blushed and hesitated, and, after a minute or so, admitted that be did, but that it was three days before. An order for the payment of 3s. a-week was then made against Mr. Chambers, he being at the same time informed that he had a right of civil action against Mr. Fry for the non-appropriation of his 1601. HATTON-GARDEN.--John Uostin, the dustman charged at this office on Saturday last with the wilful murder of his own child, William Costin, was brought up yestetday for re-examination before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. LA ING. As soon as the prisoner was placed at the bar, and the witnesses were admitted, an exclusion of the public from the justice-room took place, and more partieuLirly of those persons who usually report the examina tions which take place at this office. The exclu sion upon this occasion must appear somewhat strange and unaccountahle,—though not at all unusual in this office,—when it is considered that the case before the Magistrate could nut possibly have obtained more publicity than it had already got through the medium of a coroner's inquest, and at the prisoner's first examination at this office. It was understood, however, that the prisoner stands committed, but that he is again to be brought up on Friday next, to have some further evidence taken against hirrld UNION-HALL —Yesterday a gentleman named Gude attended at this office for the purpose of giving information of the following robbery stated, that on the day pre eeding he went on Battersea-bridge, accompanied by a party of ladies, In iitdet to view a boat-race from thence. While on the bridge he felt something, as it were imperceptibly, at his coat pocket, and on putting his hand dawn, missed his pocket-book. He immediately seized by the cellar a stout genteel-looking man, whom he accused with being the thief the fellow e ndeavoured to make his escape after having flung the pocket-book over the bridge into the river, but was held by Air. Gude, who dragged him along to the toll-house, where lie gave hitu in charge to the toll-col lector, describing to the latter the circumstances of the rob bery; and requesting that the prisoner might be kept there for' zr fest minutes, until he (Mr. Gude) tvent for a con stable. When Mr. Gude returned to the toll-house be was excessively mortified td And that the man into whose care lie gave the thief had suffered fr?r,r to escape. Fortunately for Mr. Gude, at the moment his peke-book was thrown into the rii4r a waterman happened to ht passing, who picked it up and restored it to the owner. 'Ae thief eon trii,ed to get possession of the pocket-book by ct:lting the poelist *ith a sharp instrument, which penetrated the pocket-book. Mr. Glide was very anxious that the Ma gistrate should graut a summons against the man for suffer ing the thief to escape, but it was refused, and he was ad vised to lay the circumstances before the trustees of the bridge, who would, probably, discharge the man from his situation. - IMPROVEMENTS IN COVENT -GARDEN MARKET. --Yesterday morning a number of workmen commenced their labours in Covent-Garden Market, for the intended improvements. Stone-inasons were employed in pulling down the stone pillar, which was surmounted by four gas lights. The column was erected at the sole ex pence of his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD, and cost 9001. It never answered the intended purpose, as.it was not of sufficient height to diffuse the light generally through the Market. Several workmen were also employed in pulling down the stalls„ THE ARMY. -:; Lieutenant-Ciene;•al Sir Herbert Taylor, G.C.H• will lc appointed Adjutant-General of the Forces, vice Sir Henry Torrens, deceased. - - 7betachments belonging to the 27th and 35th Regiments o f Pawl arrived on h ursday, from Chatham, vn the rou t to Jersey'.
