The weavers, for instance, during the lo w pr i ce o f bread, could barely subsist ; how will they be able to subsist on their scanty pittance with bread at a famine price ? The patience of the Englishman, under the evils to which : he is sub ject, is proverbial ; but that patience will be put t o a hard trial, for which his rulers are no doubt themselves. A wr i ter preparing in a Continen tal Review, in an able article on our army, launches out on the admirable footing on which it is for acting with inconceivable rapidity on the people if necessary, and seems to think the situation of the Government, as far as England is concerned, a very enviable one in that respect. Still it is prudent to keep in mind that the people, in the manufacturing districts more par ticularly, will attribute their privations to the avarice of the aristocracy of the country, who, by annihilating the corn trade, have excluded us from the benefit of foreign stocks during defi ciency at home. The foreign agriculturist has long ceased to grow wheat for which he had no market, and thus the stocks iu the Baltic ports were suffered to become exhausted. This is a consideration which will not be neglected, we may be sure, in the approaching conjuncture. Let us see, then, how we are situated at present. In one quarter we hear invitation to immediate hostilities against Russia as indispensable to the vindication of the national honour. For our part, we are decidedly of opinion that we are the least open to injury from without, and are con fessedly the most powerful nation in Europe, as far as the means of carrying on hostilities are con cerned, it becomes us therefore to be the most patient and enduring. It is not for us to be ever lastingly on the alert to observe affronts, or to show an extraordinary sensitiveness with regard to our dignity. A nation of twenty-two millions, with a commercial navy affording the means of instantaneously increasing its military navy to the extent wished for if the sacrifice were necessary, could easily become formidable in war. The very taunts of the French Journals are really a tribute to our power, and indicate that sort of eagerness to appear important, and that sort of uneasiness with respect to the opinion of the world, which are more often the concomitants of doubts as to the justness of the claim, than of a settled conviction of its validity. We do not need to go to war, merely to show that we can make war, in order to secure ourselves from in sult. When we are insulted in good earnest ; when our possessions are attacked, or our people injured, or redress is denied, recourse may be had to the sword. In the case of Russia, let us be sure of our ground before we interfere with her. Supposing even that the Emperor Nicholas has acted unfairly towards us—it is not every act of injustice that. renders war imperative. How much h a ve we endured from Spain of late years ? We have had even justifiable causes of war in abundance, hut our Rulers have, in that respect, justly considered themselves as not en titled to snap, as it were, at pretexts for war, bearing in mind the dread responsibility which it entails. But if we do rush into war—with a population ready to mutiny for bread—and six or seven millions in a neighbouring island deeply exasperated against. those wh o w ou ld exc l u d e them from their constitutional rights, what may we expect ? We do not wish to dwell on this ticklish subject. Surely, however, our Rulers will see the necessity of removing this charge from 11:3.—Mt}rning Chronicle. We lately alluded, in high terms of approba tion, to the Earl of Itadnor's intention of getting rid of his gamekeepers, and of adopting a plan which would, in all probability, do away with much of the evil produced by the rigid exercise of the Game Laws, while it would in no respect diminish the fair sports of the field to the Noble owner or his fiiends. The Noble Earl's plan has since been more specifically announced in circular notices, which he has directed to be sent to his tenantry in Wiltshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Gloucestershire, giving them free permission to sport over the lands in their occu pation, with a right to allow or deny any person a similar liberty, excepting only the Earl and his sons. It i s a l w stipulated that a certain quantity a game, pioportioned to the estate, shall be sent monthly to the landlord by each tenant. This by far the most rational plan with regard to game that we have ever heard of, and, as an eKpernneut, we heartily wish it sue- To the latelown e r it presents various re commendations, which he must be blind indeed not to see the advantae of. It will save him air enormous expen se ; w it connects him in closer bonds of good undei -Landing with his t e nantry, while the G ame Laws. are the source of and estrangement ; an d it gives him a body of natural gamekeepers, who will soon render the poacher's trade too precarious to be worth fol lowing. We shall be curio us to learn what the result of this experiment is ; --lough we can anti cipate but one result td a schem e so full of ad vantage, and which presents, to our minds at least, not one objection.—Morning Herald. Some say that Mr. Lawless, on the late occa sion, was made the scape-;oat of Mr. O'C or . nell. The latter, it has been mentioned to us, was jealous of the former. Mr. Lawless, on several occasions, had been a sort of illarriot to Mr. O'Connell's own schemes, for the bring ing about Catholic Emancipation. When, in 1825, Mr. O'Connell proposed those celebrated wings, one ofwhich was to tax Protestants to pay Catholic Clergymen, Mr. Lawless broke through and ex posed those wings. In various other instances, Mr. Lawless has laid bare Mr. O'Connell's plans. —'l'he latter, therefore (at least, so we have heard), sent hint on a mission to the North.— Mr. O'Connell knew that Mr. Lawless would have to encounter a host of' foes. Mr. O'Con nell himself, not long since, appeared in the North, but he did not long remain there. Now, he well knew that, th oug h - Mr. Lawless is a good-natured, worthy man, yet that one of his faults is great enthusiasm. Mr. Lawless is like many in private life , who do the thi ng fi rs t, an d then reflect. So with Mr. Lawless—he plunges into a measure without considerin g the conse quences. It is more than probable that Mr. O'Connell knew, when he proposed that Mr. Lawless should undertake the missio n to the causes North, that he would fail from olr. L,% ess , natur a l z and if he did not, yet that Iris indiscretion would bring about a failure. After sending Mr. L. on his ill-starred expedition, ' away goes Mr. O'Connell to the South. M r. Lawless has certainly done himself, individually, no good by his expedition, nor will what ho says hereafter at the Assembly in Dublin, be attended to as it was, or have that weight it had. It is singular that Mr, Lawless did not see the trap that was laid for him ; but enthusiasm blinded him. This journey, however, of his, and his defeat, must have brought him to his senses, and opened his eyes. It is in vain for the Catholics , of Ireland to think that they can ever again sway / -kra‘ . the North. The Presbyterians, the Methodists, the Unitarians, and the Church of England people, have got hold of that part of Ireland— :. never again to belong to the Catholics in a reli gious respect. It certainly was a bold attempt of Mr. Lawless and his coadjutors to attempt to take the people of the North by storm in the manner the y did ; their common sense ou g ht t o have told them that that which might do in the South would not in the North. That Mr. Lawless has been so completely defeated we are glad ; and we think the Orangemen did perfectly right to resist. As an individual we respect Mr. Lawless, for we have heard that, in his Kimily and connec tions, he is a very excellent man ; but to pro ceed on such an expedition, among a people who are almost altogether opposed to the religion that Mr. Lawless professes, appeared to us indiscreet in the extreme ; and we are highly pleased that such scheme of working upon the passions of the Catholic linen and cotton weavers of the North of Ireland, has been defeated.—lbid. It appears by advices from Toulon, that they first and second divisions of the French army have landed in Greece, and that Ibrahim either made or received some cause of quarrel which was likely to have led. to blows. But for the present the matter has been amicably settled. There can be no doubt that the Tripartite Al liance, having the deliverance of Greece for its real or ostensible object, has in an unspeakable mlnner assisted the views of French and Mis sion ambition. The destruction of the Turkish fleet at Navarin now enables Russia to talk of blockading the Dardanelles, and enables France, by occupying the Turks in Greece, to withdraw them from the defence of Shumla and of Varna. Thus the Tripartite Alliance has departed alto gether from its main object. Its effect is now not to rescue Greece, but to overthrow the Ottoman Power ; and it is with regret we must add, that England has, by means of the weak and mis chievous policy of our late Liberal Ministry, be come a party to its violation. It was ridiculous from the onset to imagine that Russia should combine with France and England for the mere liberation of Greece—that she should use no more force for this purpose than the Combined Powers might think necessary ; while, on the other hand, we believe she never disguised the fact, that she had cause of quarrel with Turkey on another and more personal or isolated ground. One would have thought that in such a state of timings great moderation would have been ob served in doing any thing which *hould place the Autocrat in a better situation, as to his personal contest, than he would have been by his alliance with France and England ; but it must be obvious that the destruction of the Turkish fleet gave Nicholas an advantage, without which, in all probability, we never should have heard of his blockading the Dardanelles.— Whatever the nature or form of the Turkish Go vernment may be, and we never approved of or defended it—whatever might be the brutality or ferocity of her sway over the Greek Christians —however opposed her institutions may be to those which we would wish to see predominate in the world—still we think it never can be de nied that in her case the rights of nations have been violated, and the recognised obligations of treaty most outrageously set at defiance. Since the restoration, France has panted for some hold in the Mediterranean ; and to imagine that she will not retain possession of the Mores, requires a stretch of credulity to which we can never lend ourselves. Her ambition may now be easily in dulged ; it is covered by the pretext of •gene rosity, a love of classic soil and recollections, and the more glittering, but not less egre gious fallacy, the liberation of the captive Chris hail from his heathen oppressor. This sounds finely—it reads well upon paper—it excites ad miration in the saloon—it begets sympathy in the would-be philosophical Christians of the French empire ; but however that people may cheat themselves into the belief of their disinte- restedness or national magnanimity, no other Power in Europe can be so blinded. They have run riot in their praises of the victory of Navarin —almost title first naval achieveinent in which they could ever boast of victory, even when shared with their then Allies ; but they have studiously withheld the object which that tripartite con quest secured to them, namely, the unresisted occupation of the Morea. The same manner of reasoning will equally apply to Russia, with re gard to her designs upon the Turkish provinces bordering on the Danube, and in respect to the free navigation of the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmora, and the Black Sea: The Russian fleet will no longer be frozen up at Archangel, it will luxuriate in seas without a tempest, and under skies without a cloud. Not even. the fulfillment of Russian ambition (which we scarcely believe to be the total demolition of Turkey), taking that ambition to extend to the addition of certain provinces, anti the payment of certain exorbitant sums of money, and per baps the possession of some important fortresses by way of security for the due performance of her contract—taking these things to satisfy the measure of' her present ambition, we do not see how British trade, or any other British interest, can be injured by it. To talk of the invasion of India is ridiculous, though a 114rning Paper has so very c l ass i cally rem i nded us of the re so mins. 'We u!ts w hi c h f ollowed the incursions of the Scy which may regret the increas e of p o w er our mistaken policy has conferred upon France and Russia ; but we see nothing at pre sent in the acquisition Of either which should make us "cry havock, and let slip the dogs of war." As long as peace can be honourably preserved, our illustrious Premier will not be driven from its maintenance ; and if the other alternative should unhappily become fic he will be a bl e to show the world that Waterlooh ave l e ft b e hi nd them heroestcriessarY' Trafalgar who triu mp h e d at and an example ex i a f inplewhich «ill notonl) ‘ 'b . e full,)Te ourselve s , i n former times, imitated, b pos sible, surpassed % e have times, admitted rules of blockade, which we can not now with decency deny to other Powers ; and, as we have b e f ore said, unt il our flag is treated with indignity, our trade interrupt ed, our honour or our dignity in su l te d or no right to assume contemned, we have that the views of Russia or of France have for object the destruction of the kalance of power in Europe. 'We do not know that our Levant trade is likely to suffi:r materially from the Russian blockade ; but this we do know, that liberal policy of our late liberal Cabinet has thrown many obstacles in the way of the Duke of Wellington.—Morning Post. Counsellor LAMB (an old man, at the tinie the late Lord ERSKINE was in the height of his reputation), was a man of timid manners and nervous disposition, and usually prefaced his pleadings with an apology to that effect ; and on One occasion, when opposed to ERSKINE, he hap pened to remark that " he felt himself growing more and more timid as he grew older." "No wonder," replied the witty but relentless Barrister; " every one knows, the older a lamb grows the more sheepish he becomes."—.Not tingham Mercury. POLICE tNTtLLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—AIm Robinson, a drover, who wears the badge No. 31, attended before Mr. Alderman Scho tay yesterday, upon a summons for aetitig as a drover in Smithfield, without wearing his badge, and for Wantonly ill-treating a sheep, by setting a dog to wortyit. Branscomb, one of the City officers, stated, alit early on Monday morning, lie saw the defendant engaged in lifting four sheep out of a caravan. He seemed to be in a state of considerable irritation, and witness therefore watched him. When he had taken out three, defendant addressed &di in the ordinary style its Use among the fellows of this class, threatening to beat their brains out if they stirred from the spot. Witness dared to say the poor things did not understand these threats, but nevertheless they did not stir. When he had taken the fourth sheep from the van, he drove them along the pavement, and one of them happened to swerve into the road, upon which the defendant, without attempting any gentle means to beep the animal in the desired path, set a dog to worry it, and it was hunted under the legs of a drove of beasts. To extricate it from thence was a difficult matter, and, after poking at it some time, the defettda nt b c e a g l a le n d s t c o mm ano b t l l i i n e g r drover to job th e an i ma l' s eye out, and over some bullocks' backs to assist. Witness then inter fered, and demanded a sight of his badge, which after some demur he pulled from his pocket. The defendant denied almost every thing the officer stated. Mr. Alderman SCIIOLEY said, Branscomb was an old and very respectable officer, and he therefore had entire faith in his statement, and as defendant had taken such a course of defence, instead of expressing sorrow at being overtaken in an act of imprudence, he should fine him 10s. fur not wearing the badge, and 10s. for his cluck. Branscomb suggested, that as he was a young (hover, and it was his first offence, a fine of less amount would, with costs, made a strong impression upon him ; and the Alderman accordingly waved one of the f nes of 10s. Yesterday John Winter, pot-boy to Mr. Weare, of the Crown public-house, 'Watling-street, summoned his master and mistress for an assault, on Thursday last. The com plainant detailed his grievances by stating that Mrs. W. had, for no offence whatever, collared him at the bar door; and that Mr. W. immediately joined issue, and knocked him about and turned him out of doors. On cross-questioning the complainant, however, acknow ledged that he had merely said "good night" to two ladies.. Air. Weare, in reply, stated—that on the night in question the complainant was in a state of intoxication, and had in front of the house made a piece of work with two girls of the town. Mrs. W. was indignant at his beha viour, and said a few words to him. Complainant then went down to the cellar and slept a short time, when lie again carne up and demanded his supper-beer, which Mrs. Weare refused to let him have, as he was still in a state of intoxication. Complainant then became outrageous, entered the bar and attempted to serve himself with the beer by force. Mrs. Weare consequently turned him out of the bar—the disturbance attracted the attention of Mr. Weare, and he interfered to protect his wife from insult. Mr. W. likewise stated, that Winter was habitually drunken and abusive, and this could be proved by evidence which the defendant had present. Alderman SCHOLEY recommended a compromise, with out going into the evidence, but Mr. Weare objected to that arrangement, and said that he would rather sutler the case to go to the sessions. After some conversation, the parties did withdraw, and in a short time they re-appeared before the Magistrate, and Mr. Weare stated that Winter had confessed his error, and made ample apology. The ALDERMAN told Winter that be stood in a sorry situation to prefer a charge against his master, and then, instead of establishing the charge, to be under the neces sity of acknowledging himself the aggressor. Mr. Weare said he would decline turning the tables on the complainant, which he night do, hut would pay him the few days' wages that were due to him, and suffer him to go about his business. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday Mary Gregory, a half silly looking country girl, was charged by her mistress, Mrs. Francis Lynes, with unlawfully pawning various articles, her property, without her knowledge and consent. Mrs. Lynes, a young woman, lived with her husband in Stanhope-street, Clare-market. Her husband was em ployed as a porter in Somerset House. She engaged the prisoner as an occasional servant, to nurse. her child and go of errands. A few days ago she missed three gowns, a lace veil, a Prayer-book, and other property ; and sus pecting that the prisoner had stolen them, she searched the cellar, where she found three duplicates, and on ap plying to the pawnbrokers, she identified the gowns and lace veil now produced as part of the propety of which she had been robbed. Two pawnbrokers' assistants being examined, swore that the prisoner pleolged the property at their employers' shops, and Mrs. Lynes added to her evidence that such pawning took place without her knowledge and consent. Three well-dressed women, and the prisoner's sister, now came forward, and one of them, whose superior vo. lubility of speech bad elected her as spokeswoman, ad dressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoner, declaring that a vile conspiracy was on foot to destroy the character of the young girl at the bar. Would his Worship believe that the very articles which Mrs. Lynes had sworn she had lost, were given by her to the girl to pledge for her? The truth was, Mr. Lynes seldom left his wife any money, and she was obliged to pawn property in order to pur chase necessaries. Mr. HALLS asked the prosecutrix if it were true that she had authorised the girl to pawn articles for her. Mrs. Lynes replied, with considerable embarrassment, that on one occasion she certainly had sent the prisoner to the pawnbroker's to raise a temporary supply, as her hus hand was paid his wages only once a quarter. She so lemnly declared, however, that she had given no autho rity whatever to the prisoner to pawn the articles iu question. Oh, what a wicked woman, exclaimed one of the friends of the prisoner ! When the duplicates were tbund in the cellar, she went upon her knees to the prisoner's aunt, and begged of her, for God's sake, not to acquaint her husband with the fact of her having employed her niece to pawn things for her. She said be would be the death of her if he were to know it. Two of the women were sworn as to this fact, which, however, Mrs. Lynes distinctly and positively denied. Mr. HALLS observed, that there was something very extraordinary in the case. The prosecutrix had sworn that the property was pawned without her knowledge and consent, yet here were two witnesses who as distinctly swore to the contrary. Bond, jun. here whispered something to the Magistrate, who asked the prisoner's aunt if she (the prisoner) had not been very lately at Marlboreugh-street office upon a similar charge. The aunt replied in the affirmative. " And the charge was compromised, I believe ?" added the Magistrate. The aunt made no answer ; but Bond replied that the girl was discharged through the exertions of her friends. 1 he husband of the prosecutrix, a decent young man in livery, said that the prisoner's aunt and the other women now present, came to him, and begged and prayed that he would not proceed against the girl, promising that the articles should be redeemed, and that all should be made right. After a long investigation, Mr. HALLS decided that the prisoner bad been guilty of unlawfully pawning the pro perty of her mistress. He firmly believed that her present half-idiot appearance was in a great degree assumed. As to her aunt and the rest of the women, who strove to bolster up a case for her by endeavouring to turn the tables upon her mistress, be did not believe one word they had either said or sworn. The prisoner was adjudged to pay seven shillings, being the amount of the articles she had pawned, and a tine of twenty shillings for the offence ; and in default of payment she was to be confined 14 days in the House of Correction. The decision appeared to give very general satisfaction. William Parr. Pope, a young man who has lately acted in the capacity of travelling agent to several news paper•agents and stationers, was charged by Mr. Westley, stationer, of No.. 159, Strand, with fraudulently obtaining the sum of 71. 12s. in his name, from a person named Davis, a stationer, in Atherstone, Warwickshire. Mr. Davis stated, that on the 24th of last July the pri soner came. to his shop, and said he was directed by Mr. Westley, of the Strand, to call for the balance of his ac count. The witness desired the prisoner to draw out a receipt for the money, and the prisoner said he would write one at the inn where he had set up. In a short time he produced a receipt, signed henry Jones, and witnes , paid him the amount. Mr. IlAus said that the offence having hem committed in Warwickshire, the charge must be investigated there. Mr. Westley said that several other charges would be brought aganst the prisoner. The MAG tsTßATEaccordingly remanded him to a future day, until a warrant is obtained from Warwickshire, to which place he will then be transmitted. Parkinson, the individual who stands charged with having passed several of the notes stolen from the Gree nock Bank, Was yesterday admitted to bail, after several ineffectual attempts to procure his liberation by similar means. LAMBETH-STREET.—Yesterday George Thompson alias Nut, Henry Penny alias Webster, and George Porter, were brought before J. IttuowlcK and M. WYATT, Esqts., for Anal eianaMation, on suspicion of having bur glariously entered the dwelling-house of G. F. Young, Esq., of Church-row, Limehouse, and stolen therefrom a qUantity of plate. On the first examination of Thompson he was fully coin witted, the eyidenee being distinct, and he being taken on the preniises with the property about bins ; but it was considered expedient to remand Isitil i as from his celebrity as a housebreaker several Other charges were expected to be preferred against him, and a hope was entertained that his accomplices would, in the mean time, he diseotvied. On the prisoner's being plaCed at the bar, Not ris, the officer, stated, that from information he had received shortly after the prisoner's commitment, and before he left the lock-up room, he thought it his dirty to make a further search of his person. He did so, and on taaininink bins carefully, found the eight silver spoons, which he then produced; tied up in the tail of his shirt. These Mr. Young identified as his property, and as part of the plate which was stolen on the night of the robbery. • Mr. WYa•rr.--We need go no further into his case. It is already clearly Made out. What are the grounds of suspicion against the other prisoners? Lea, the officer, said that there was the strongest teasoti o though no positive proof, to believe that Penny was one of the gang, and was implicated in the offence. His dress, appearance, and age, corresponded with one of the burglars who effected his escape from the watchman on the night of the burglary ; but besides this, there were other circum stances, which scarcely left a doubt of it. He (Lea), with another officer, apprehended him, after snaking his escape from a public-house called the Black Hole, in Wentworth street, the rendezvous of the worst characters in London, in the house in which Thompson resided. On securing him, they asked him why he ran away, and he said it was through the fear of being sent to the tread-mill. On taking him to the watch-house, he gave the name of Webster, though he now gave the name of Penny; but besides this, there was another fact that looked suspicions,—he had on him a new hat, which was purchased on the day after the robbery, and the person who had escaped from the watch man had left his behind him. Dawson, a Bow-street patrol, recognized Penny as an old thief whom he had in custody some time since, but under a different name, for "starring the glaze." Mr. Haabwicic.--.What are the circumstances that affect the other prisoner ?—Norris.—l apprehended him on good information, as being concerned in the burglary. - Mr. HARDWICK.—Is he known as a thief2J-MC. Mil ler (the chief officer).—He is, Sir ; the Union-hall offi cers, who were here this morning, recognize them all as thieves of the Surrey side. Porter has been tried and cast for death for a robbery in a publican's house, and now there is a prosecution against him for breaking into and plundering his father's house ; but this, I understand, will not be carried on. A Union-hall officer said that Thotnpson's real name was Nut, and that he was now wanted for a burglary at Rip ley ; he had been on the look-out for him for some weeks, but until now he was unsuccessful. Mr. HARDWICK ordered the discharge of Penny and Porter, there being no distinct testimony against them, and at the same time gave directions to the officers to appre hend them if ever they were again seen within the district, in order to their commitment to tle House of Correction as reputed and well known thieves. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday John Jordan, late act ing bombardier, and now a pensioner in the Royal Artil lery, was brought up for a final examination, charged on suspicion with having administered arsenic to his wife Mary with intent to murder her. Mrs. Jordan still labours under general debility, owing to the baneful effects produced by the mineral poison on her constitution. Her health is evidently improved since the last examination. The prisoner's appearance has un dergone a considerable change for the worse since his ap prehension on the charge, and on seeing his wife he was a good deal affected, and shed tears in abundance. Mr. Boast, the surgeon, who was called in to attend the complainant, subsequently to her having taken the poison, and applied the stomach-pump, with which he extracted, it, stated that on his leaving this office on Wednesday last, he proceeded to the lodgings previously occupied by the prisoner and his wife, and there examined the contents of the butt out of which the complainant • alleged she had filled her tea-kettle on the morning she bad taken the poi son. The water in the butt, Mr. Boast added, was per fectly pure, and did not retai❑ a particle of any deleterious substance. Mrs. Harriet Shoel, who resides in the same house re cently occupied by the prisoner and his wife, stated that on the morning in question she filled her teakettle out of the same butt, and neither herself nor any of her family were affected by the tea made from it. The prisoner's wife, in addition to her former deposi tion, stated, that on the night previous to her having drank the poison, she boiled the water in the same kettle, and made her tea from it, and was not af f ected. She left the kettle afterwards on the bob by the fire-place, and no one had access to the room from that time but her husband and herself, until she drank the poison. The complainant's son, by a former husband, now stepped forward, and implored the Magistrate to be as lenient with the prisoner as he could, under all tke circumstances. He added that he was at present doing duty at Woolwich as a soldier, and that should his father-in-law be committed on this charge, he (the step-son) would be pointed at by his comrades, and held in utter contempt by them. The complainant here joined in an appeal with her son, on behalf of the prisoner, who sobbed aloud, and in the intervals protested his entire innocence of the charge, ex claiming, that such a diabolical attempt as to deprive his wife of her life by administering poison to her never for a moment entered his mind. The prisoner's step-son here approached the bar where he was standing, and they spoke for some time in an under tone of voice, after which, the complaipant evinced a dis position not to proceed against the prisoner. The Magistrate perceiving this, after having remarked on the enormity of the offence with which the accused was charged, observed that he should certainly call upon her to procure bail for her appearance at the Assizes to prosecute, to prevent the possibility of her being kept purposely out of the way. The prisoner said, that it had been alleged be was living with a woman named White. He now declared there was no foundation for the assertion, and that he should be enabled to contradict it most satisfactorily. He again burst into tears, appealing to his wife, and ejaculating,— " Mary, you know I never could have had in my heart to have attempted your life in the way you have charged me." The unfortunate man was then committed, and he was led from the bar in a state apparently of great affliction. The following note the prisoner addressed to his wife after the first examination : " Horsemonger-lane Gaol, Oct. 4. " Dear Wife,--I write these few lines to inform you of the melancholy situation that I am in; and you are well aware that I am innocent of the crime that lam accused of—as innocent as the babe unborn. You must think on that account what my state and condition must be. I beg you will come and see me OH Monday, as you will have permission from twelve to two o'clock, when I am per suaded a mutual reconciloment will take place between us, which is the sincere desire of your unfortunate husband, " JOHN JORDAN." TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.—David Davis was summonul at the instance of Mr. Lewis Gompertz, Ken nington-oval, Honorary Secretary to the society for Pre ventin Cruelty to Animals. Mr. Gorupeitz said on Saturday last he saw the defendant near the Stones'-end, shamefully ill-using a horse he was driving in a loaded cart, by striking it over the nose, eyes, and other parts of the head, with the butt-end of his whir, for a considerable time : on perceiving he was noticed, he desisted. Alderman J. J. SMITH said the words of the Act were cruelly and wantonly, and asked Mr. Gompertz if the defendant's cond uc t was o f t h at d escr i pt i on ; an d on being answered in the affirmative, fined the defendant 10s. and costs. A second complaint was lodged against a man named Wyse, from Norwood, but dismissed as frivolous, the Al derman considering him entitled to his costs and loss of time.

The demand for Raw SUGARS has been brisk this week; the sales amount to 1,100 hhds. and prices have rated the same as last week. At yesterday's market holders were very firm in their demands, but no advance was realized. The grocers and refiners purchased very freely, and several small lots were taken for Ireland.

In Jamaica the sales are inconsiderable. In Brandy or Geneva there is little alteration. At a late hour to day the holders of Leeward Runt are still sanguine of obtaining a fittther advance on account of the rise in the Corn Market, the hustle in the naval yards in fitting out a number of large ships, and also the orders for shipping on the market, still tmexecuted. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The unexpected accounts from Russia, and the falling off in the de liveries for consumption last week, had an unfavour able effect on Tallow ; the prices have receded 3d. to 6d. per cwt., and the Market is rather dull at the reduction.

The Duty has again advanced to 180,000/., as the crop appears more productive than what had been anticipated : the picking continues.

Our market was pretty well supplied with Wheat, but the radid advance in the London market at this season of the year, has caused our farmers to ask enormous prices, and in many instances to withhold their samples : the ad vances here may be stated at Bs. to 101. per quarter from this day week, with an apparent dullness at the close of the market, as some of our regular buyers would not pur chase. Our supply of Barley increases ; fine samples are about 4s. per quarter dearer, but inferior sorts have risen in proportion. Oats, Beans, and Pease, are each ad vaneed 2s. to 3s. per quarter.

CANTERBURY, Oct. 4, Our market commenced by our farmers demanding an advance of Bs. to 10s. per quarter for New Wheat on our last quotations, and 935. was made for a select sample of White in the early part of the morning, but as our sup plies came more liberally to !laud towards the close, our prices gave way, and our millers purchased sparingly at an advance of 4s. to 6s. per quarter frorkt this day week. The quality of our New Wheat comes much better to hand, and we had a great deal to-day nearly equal to last year's growth, for which our farmers were demanding from 955. to 100 s. per quarter. Malting Barley is 4s. per quarter dearer, and both Old and New Beans have advanced from Ss. to 4s. per quarter. Fine Oats also sell readily, and are 4s. per quarter higher.

There was a comparatively thin supply of Cattle in our market, and a trifling advance was acceded to by the buyers, the quantity exposed for sale being very little more than equal to the demand. The rapid advances in the price of Corn at Mark-lane made a visible alteration in our market. The attendance of agriculturists and dealers was very full, anxiously watching every variation affecting their particular interests. Poultry of all descriptions was in great abundance. In Butter, Eggs, Apples, Potatoes, and the numerous other productions of the Pannier Mar ket, the variation in prices from last week were so trifling as to be scarely perceptible. Beef (score) 9s.
