SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It will be remembered, that after the Spanish war, in the beginning of 1825, M. de Villele's Ministry proposed to the Chambers a Bill for indemnifying the emigrants for the loss of their estates during the Revolution, and obtained the consent of the Legislature and the King to the measure. It was then predicted that the 'Mini stry would work the indemnity as the means of influence, and would postpone indefinitely the settlement of the claims preferred under the new law. Such a sinister anticipation has not, how ever, been realized. The claims have been sent in with rapidity, and decided upon with promp titude, as the following result will show. For the purpose of this emigrant indemnity, it will be remembered that the amazing sum of a milliard of francs, or about 40,000,15001. sterling, was granted by the liberality of the nation : Claims addressed to the Prefects,---deduction being made of 5212 applications, in which there was no occasion m draw up accounts, either because they formed duplicates, or be cause no property had been sold transmitted by the Prefects to the Com missioners of domains in the departments ....

Timm The Members of the Devon Whig Club, while they rejoice at the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, desired that the principle which procured this amelioration should be car ried further. 'The Chairman said, "he was sorry to acknowledge the fact, but fact it was, that England was the only civilized country that did not recognise the establishment of religious liberty on the broadest basis. Even the Mem bers of the Holy Alliance, so long and so de e,ervedly held up to the antipathy and the ridicule of Englishmen, had exceeded us in that respect." The reason of this difference between the mem bers of the Holy Alliance and Englishmen, is not of difficult discovery. That excess of re ligious zeal which leads to persecution, can only be permanently maintained by the possession of wealth. In the States of the Holy Alliance the Church is uniformly poor ; and two or three generations of zealous Theologians, not fed by wealth, are not to be found zn rerun! natura. The Catholic and Protestant in Germany, for instance, are on the best team, because, though men make their titles to the next world the pre text for their battles in this, such battles are, nevertheless, in reality fought for the best places in this. The Churches of England and Ireland have somehow or other chosen to think that their flesh pots would be be endanger ed by Emancipation—a very foolish idea, to doubt. This, and this alone, is the cause of all the difficulty we have in settling religion in Ire land. The abstract love of justice never leads lawyers to conduct lawsuits to a close, to have the point settled, when the property is not worth the labour. Neither does the love of religion lead to intolerance. There must always he a love of contention. This matter is now.toler ably well understood in England. Out of evil, however, frequently cometh good. We, no doubt, partly owe the philosophical indifference sliown by Ministers to the surprize manifested en the Continent at the unusual humility of our t4overmnent, to the ticklish situation in which orthodoxy has contrived to place Ireland. Mi nisters have made their election between folly at home and folly abroad, being utiable to exhibit both with safety ; and thus, in order to show the Catholics that we are not to be bullied, , e 4 Are satisfied to be held up to Europe, in the light oC bragadocios, who make a great noise at first, but w ho are quiet whenever they see a foot raked in m a suspicious m a nner.—Moning Chronicle. Though we claim for the Press all the merit of the growing influence to which it is so-justly entitled, yet that influence cannot be otherwise than diminished by the inconsistency which, from views of party, or still less worthy ifiGt i„ s , some part of it is seen to all into. What, foe instance, can be more absurd and unjustifiable than the kind of double dealing whieh is held forth at this m oment on the subject of contipen tal interference on the part of oar Government ? On one day we are told —and wisely told— that it is the true policy of this country to abstain from being involved ill questions not purely 13ri tish, and to husband our r esources? until such occasions arise ; while, o n the the Govern ment is taunted with pd,silbnanity, and is told h an that it w ou ld and ought to dos 5.4..;d such things if it dared. This is blowing hot C old with a vengeance, and is caleulated, as far goes, to lower the Press in the eyes of all considerate persons. Either interference or non-interfe renceis right : they cannot both be so and who l e there who can calmly look Welt at the history and the results of nearly 41 l the continental i wars in which this country has been engagze., from the period of the Revo lution, in 1688, to the present hour, a4 ; lPot feel, that, barring one small modicum of glory, ell that we have rea p ed from them have been debt and taxes. W e are happy, therefore, to see that the Duke of We llin g ton (who might himself , be 14aturally suspected of no great indisposition, for war) has, since his accession t o kris present office, shown no disposition to encourage a cru sading spirit in the country. If those w h o would urge the country into fresh wars for fo re3grt interests would try their probable ld results Vi e by the test of past exper ience, they woul, should imagine, of much of the mania which besets them, and beguiles their better judgment, The true interest of every coieutry is to cultivate the arts of peace. W e care not; therefore,whe ther it he wisdom loserndence—whether history or the debt, whicters the present Govern ment from embarking the country, as its prede eeeeors would have done ; in. quarrels and dis- putes with which we have little or no concern ; and notwithstanding the confident predictions we see announced that there " will be a general war in Europe before Christmas," we feel every persuasion that such will not be the case, and that, at all events, this country will not be in volved in any contest without a just cause, and till every honourable means of avoiding it have been had recourse to.—Morning Herald. We believe we have the satisfaction of an nouncing, exclusively, that the Sovereign of the Brazils has at length taken that decided part re specting the proceedings of Don Miguel which justly belongs to him as Sovereign of Portugal. He has called, if we are rightly informed, not only on the British Government to interpose in his behalf, and that of the 'infant Queen, but also on Austria and France, to support, in his person, the rights of legitimacy. What steps our Government may now deem it proper to adopt is not as yet of course known, but we should be inclined to believe, from the tenour of the King's Speech, that no reluctance will be manifested now in embracing the cause of the Constitutionalists, and driving the usurper from the throne of Portugal. In the mean time the Marquis of Pahnella remains as the Portuguese Ambassador at this Court ; and Viscount Itabayana has orders from the Emperor of the Brazils to pay him his salary as Ambassador out of the Bra zilian funds at his command, at the rate of 4,000/. a-year. This fact is sufficient to show that Don Pedro is determined not to relinquish his rights, and that he only waits a favourable moment to crush the ungrateful Monster who has dared to seize on his throne and prerogative. The negociations between Buenos Ayres and the Brazils have not as yet taken any favourable turn. Both parties are determined on war, and until war has worn out their resources, no peace, we fear, will be made. This country, we have been given to understand, has proposed to the conflicting parties to declare the Banda Oriental independent, and to garrison, at its own expence, for five years, the Gibraltar of South America, we mean Monte Video ; but such is the jealousy entertained by all parties of our harbouring a wish to retain permanent occupation of it, that there is no hope of the arrangement being ac ceded to. Lord Strangford goes out again as Ambassador to the Brazils.—Morning Arl vertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday a wretched looking woman named Louisa Sherwin, was brought up for examination, under the following circumstances : She had been charged on suspicion of having stolen a watch, the property of a man, in whose company she had been a few nights before. The watch was found in Fen church-yard, and the prisoner was apprehended close to the spot. At the watch-house she stated that she had just left two starving children at home, and that she came out to Icok for a bit of bread for them. She had, in fact, under the craving of hunger, resolved upon issuing from her room to prostitute herself for any trifle. She was addressed by a man, and she owned that in her extremity she could not resist the temptation of stealing his watch. The constable, who had taken the key of her apartment, and gone to the place where she directed, stated that he never saw a greater scene of wretchedness than the filthy room presented. The unfortunate woman's two famishing children were lying upon the ground, and neither bed, nor chair, nor stool, was to be seen, neither had the children any covering upon them, except a piece of rag, in which their afflicted parent had wrapped them. The woman said that her husband, a labourinz man, bad been confined in the Hospital for some time, and w ay in a hopeless state, and that her efforts to support her children were all in vain. She said that a few shillings would set her up in the fruit line, and Sir J. PERILING directed that she should be set up in trade immediately, an order which the chief clerk obeyed with the greatest alacrity. GUILDHALL.-.—HOLTAWAY AND Co. AGAIN.—Mr. Holtaway was again hastily summoned before Sir PETER LAULIE, yesterday, to answer the complaint of a young man named Peter Walker. The complainant stated, that about the middle of May last, he advertised in a news paper for a situation as an assistant surveyor, to super intend buildings, &c., and on the next day received a letter from Messrs. Holtaway, notifying that one department of their establishment was devoted to supplying the Commer cial World with clerks, soliciting his favours if he should have failed in any other effort to obtain employ, and an nouncing that within twenty-one days they had supplied five gentlemen with such situations. He accordingly called upon Messrs. Holtaway, and learning that they knew of a place that would suit hint, he paid his 10s. 6d. to be entered on their list, and was informed that a gentle• man at Dublin, who was engaged upon a survey, wanted an asaisi . .a . a,t, but the salary would be only 2001. a year. Complainant explained that he was not competent to make pictures or drawings for publication ; he was bred a car penter and joiner, and his forte was snaking plans of stair ca‘ea and roofs, &c. He was told to bring some specimens o f hi s L a s il.:,ty in drawing, and delivered a number, twelve of which (of the iath:e of 10/. in his estimation) he had never been able to get back. A fortnight passed away without getting a satisfactory answer from the Irish gentleman, and complainant becoming impatient, Mr. Holtaway offered to take him into his own service to take plans of the houses and estates he was authorised to sell, at a value of 104/. a year, to be paid monthly, provided he would de posit SOL tisir PETER LAURIE asked the defendant who the Irish gentleman ::as?—Defendant said he knew of no such man, but he had frequent applications for assistants in the survey ing profession. Oh, yee, now he recollected the particular application spoken of. It was from a Mr. Jassey, of Hope, but the complainant's talents were such, that he could not aspire to thEAlDatioll• Si r p rE gg, asked if it was true that he had found five situations for clerks in the time sated ?--.Defendant said it was true. Sir PETER desired the names of some of tliern.—De fe.--.440 could not mention them without referring to his book. _ . . ...,..._. Sir PETER tzi.i him to attend to what the complainant was stating, as it was ilia (sir P.'s) ietention to deal with the case in a serious manner. The complainant continued—Heborrowed elol. ill inonen and got a bill for 20/., which he deposited with Mr. Hoita way, and was (. - irthwith sent to various places to make plans of the premises. After the first fortnight, however, he had no more employment of this description, and was sent out with printed circular answers to advertisers in the newspapers ( sim il ar to t h e one h e h a d himself received), of which he understood Mr. Holtaway had at one time six hundred for delivery. After being employed in this way for a week, in the course of which he repeatedly met his friends, who joked, him about turning a twopenny postman, he refused N carry out any more. E.;i,r ;PETER asked whether he could tell from what occar, red at the places of which he took plans, whether Mr. floltaway had realty occasion for them, or whether it was 0/. ?—Complainant had some suspicion, but ;done m erely to amuse him, that he might not be alarmed i i : i. g 9 e peral impression was, that 11' . 1r.

'd r4ion ppon xyllicli lie Defendant sa!d it was the consi e . . ... employed Mr. WalkeF, He stated that he wanted 501., n0 and the complainant agreed to e, , ,isi it to him. It was deposited as security, but left in his hands to be made use of, the complainant taking a bill for the repayment of the sum, with Mterest, at the expiration of twelve months. With respect to the twelve drawings, he had unfortunately lost them. . - - Complainant said Mr. Holtaway took the money as se carity, in place of making personal inquiry into his character. Sir PETE it told the defendant he had heard he had been lurking alma the otlice to get hold of Me. and lAS ; -57 el7l prevent this complaint from being made. He dreaded, above all things, exposure ; indeed he had reason to dread it, for he would tell him advisedly, and as a Magistrate, that he had been guilty of obtaining money under false pretences. Defendant said, he was sorry his Worship was of that opinion. He was willing to satisfy every claim upon him. He would return the 50/. and pay complainant the wages, and he would return all the advances he had belonging to others. He would solemnly promise this should be the last complaint that should be made against him. Sir PETER asked, if he would also promise never to be guilty of extracting a deposit of this nature in the time to come ?—Defendant assured him he should never hear of another complaint against him. He solemnly made this second promise also.—Sir Peter then allowed him to ar range with the complainant, intimating that he was going to Cheltenham for a month, and that, when he returned, he should make particular inquiry how Mr. Holtaway kept his word. He had devoted a good deal of time to this case ; but he conceived it had been, at least, as usefully employed as it would have been in listening to charges against pick pockets ; and, if he had rendered the public any service, he should feel amply repaid for his trouble. A carter was fined ten shillings, for ill.treating a horse, on Holborn-hill. The complaint was made by an Officer of the Society for Preventing Cruelty to Animals. A NOSTRUM OF SOME STANDlNO.—lmmediately that Sir P. LAURIE had taken his seat, a paper was .put into his hand, which he perused with great attention, and asked if the person was present who was to make affidavit to the contents of the paper. A very old man came forward and announced himself as that individual. Sir PHTEK—I cannot permit such an oath to be taken before me. You mean to swear a nostrum is capable of curing every person, even after they are discharged in curable from St. Bartholomew's Hospital, or any other Hospital, s.nd that your wife was not only cured by its ap plication in 1788, after she had been given up at St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, but that she enjoyed uninterrupted good health for 30 years after? She is, you say, now dead. No Magistrate, I trust, will permit such an affidavit to be taken. Here an individual stepped forward, and made himself known as the preparer of the nostrum. He said it had been in his house for 150 years, and individually he had done so much good with it, that a vast number of ladies had well scolded him for not bringing it forward, and in compliance with their entreaties, and for the public benefit, he had at length determined to publish an affidavit. Aa aged female appeared, who stated that she knew the facts of the case. Sir PETER desired them then to find out a Magistrate less scrupulous than him, and dismissed the applicant. BOW-STREET.—THE Doc IN OFFICE.-A few mi nutes after the Magistrates had taken their seats, a young man, who gave his name William Lynch, was brought before them, charged with being disorderly yesterday morn ing in St. Clement's watch-house. Sir R. BIRNIIC-Well, Sir, what have you to say to this charge ? Defendant—l was just taking leave of a friend, having had a parting glass, and because I stepped a few minutes was taken to the watch-house. Sir R. ButxtE—lt doee not appear in me that that had any thing to do with the charge of " rioting in the watch house. Defendant—l merely said, when there, that I would complain to you of the conduct of the constable of the night, for placing me in " durance vile" in company with a huge mastiff. _ _ Sir R. illumE—A what? Defeudant—A large rough dog, Sir._ 11Ir. MINsHULL—Locked up with a dog? Defendant— Yes, Sir; and, what was worse, when I complained of the improper conduct, they replied, I ought to be satisfied, as there were two of us—meaning two dogs I suppose, your worship. Mr. Mmuutr.—You are discharged ; but I shall in- sist immediately on seeing the watch-house keeper, as I shall have no mastiffs there. The watchman said that the constable was so ill he could not attend. Mr..MINsnuLL-111 or well he must attend. STISFECTED MURDEIt.-Oneof the persons who applied at this office about a week since respecting the disappear ance of a Welch farmer, named Penny, who was suspected of having been murdered, appeared again beforethe Magi*. trates, to solicit the assistance of an officer, to make further inquiries into the circumstances connected with his absence. On the morning previous to that on which Penny dis appeared, he received 2001. from a slaughterer in Islevkgate market, and that same night slept at the Golden Lion at Hackney, from whence he departed, as was supposed for Wales, shortly after nine o'clock on the following morning, and has not since been seen or heard of save by a labourer in the employ of a lady named Delamer, who happened to mention the circumstance, and was on that account believed to be capable of unravelling the mystery. Ruthven, an officer of this office, however, who was directed to inquire into the matter, found that there were no grounds for suspecting the labourer, and therefore advised the par ties to remain tranquil for some little time longer, in the expectation that Penny would return home. This has not been the case, and there is but too much reason for sup posing that the unfortunate man came by an untimely end. A drover, by whom he was accompanied, having stated that on the night Penny stopped at the Golden Lion, he slept at a neighbouring cottage, in which were two Irish men. In the course of the evening, he (the drover) re collected having mentioned something concerning his master and the money he had about him, and on the fol lowing morning the Irishmen departed, and did not after wards return, although expected back. The Magistrates directed Bishop, Ruthven being now in Yorkshire, to render what assistance he could, and he de parted with the applicant. HATTON-GARDEN.—CHARGE OF MURDER.—J. Price, a powerful young man, having the appearance of a working blacksmith, was lsrought up iu custody of this office, by Davis, a Clerkenwell constable, and placed at the bar before Mr. SergeanfSELLosr, charged with the murder of an Irishman, named William White. From the testimony of Thomas White, landlord of the Carpenters' Arms, Bury-street, Goswell-street, it appeared that upon his return home, about nine o'clock the preced ing night, he found the prisoner and the person now de ceased engaged in a fight in the skittle-ground. He at tempted to get near them to part them, but owing to the great crowd he found it impossible to do so. They fought two rounds after his return home ; at the conclusion of the latter one, White fell backward, with the prisoner upon him ; after which he never spoke. A surgeon was sent for with all possible speed, who bled White, and by whose advice that individual was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he expired about two o'clock yesterday morning, from the blows received from the prisoner. The quarrel between the parties originated in conse qu,ence of some altercation respecting the proper arrange ment of the nine pins. Mr. Sergeant Settosr inquired if information of the circumstances had been given to the Coroner ?—Davis re plied in the affirmative. Mr. Sergeant SELLON then remanded the prisoner to a future day, to abide the result of the Coroner's inquiry. James Mullins, an Irishman of an extremely violent and desperate character, was charged with an assault upon Jelin Hoyle, a constable of Pancras. About seven o'clock the night before, Mullins, armed with a heavy bludgeon, was breaking the parlour windows of Ne. 4, Burton-crescent, when several persons interfered to restrain his violence, some of whom he made desperate attempts upon, till at length one man, rushing in upon him, succeeded in knocking him down, and taking the bludgeon away from him ; after which, having recovered himself, he ran off, and made good his escape. Subsequently, about 10 o'clock, he again returned to Burton-crescent, but armed with a large clasp knife, the Wade of which was upwards of six inches long—and Ces now attempted to stab every one who approached him. ri of " Murder, murder," ran along the 'streets, the people flying in all directions, when Hoyle came up, and wielding his truncheon, endeavoured to take the defendant into custody, but he made several desperate efforts at stabbing the constable, till with a blow of the truncheon his hand was disabled ; he then fled, surrounded by about fifty of his countrymen, who covered his retreat, till he got clear away. He was pursued, however, by several constables and watchmen to his residence, at Compton-place, where he was taken, concealed under a mattress and bed. Taylor, a constable, now stated that he understood a person was lying dangerously ill at the hospital, whom the prisoner had stabbed with the knife; and a young man , named Clarke, informed the Magistrate that the defendant a few weeks ago killed a brother of his by a blew, which be had it tlpe most unprovoked manner given him. Mr. Rogeas desired Taylor to inquire whether any per son bad been injured, and in the mean time committed the defendant to the New Prison for further examination on Friday next. MARYLEBONE,— George Orro, the driver of a Pad dington stage coach, belonging to Messrs. Salmon and Bull, was charged with doing damage to the carriage of James Wilson, Esq., M.P., for York, by wilful miscon duct in driving. The defendant brought forward evidence to prove that the complainant's coachman was driving much faster than himself, and came so unexpectedly across him in the road, that it was impossible to pull up in time. The MA OISTR ATES considered the circumstance perfectly accidental, and told Mr. Wilson if he thought otherwise he could seek redress in a Court of law. LAMBETH-STREET.—WoaKixo. or THE Poucr SYSTEM.—Yesterday eleven unfortunate girls of the town were placed at the Bar, by a watchman, named Wareham, of Mile End Old Town, who appeared in a state of in toxication ; and, upon Mr. IfAnnwlcKE, the Magistrate, inquiring into the nature of the charge against them, the worthy guardian of the night was unable to explain farther than that they were walking in the road. Mr. HARIAVICIZE—I shall nut notice the charge against them, but how happens it you receive money from the girls to let them go? This the watchman denied. The constable of the night stepped forward, and said, that five shillings had been given to let a girl go out of custody, by a gentleman, who lived in Aldgate. One of the girls said that the watchman was paid a re gular weekly salary, by a man, named Jacobs, a notorious brothel-keeper, in Bedford-street, Cenamercial-road. This was also denied by the watchman. Mr. HARDWICKIZ.—I will search into the conduct of this watchman to the very core, and will write to the Trust about this man immediately, and request that he may be dismissed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Yesterday Benß urn, the pugilist, was brought before Sir G. FARRANT, the sitting Magistrate, under a peace-warrant, charged with threatening to annihilate a young man, the sou of the late Mr. Bond, the late landlord of a public-house called the Rising Sun, in Great Windmill-street, of which Burn himself was once the host. The complainant said that his father having recently died, and his aunt (Mrs. Ua11) being at present in the ma nagement of the Rising Sun for the benefit of the family, and some dispute having arisen amongst them about the will of his deceased father, he (the complainant), as the legal representative of his family; went a day or two age to the house to make an inventory of the furniture, &c. on the premises, and while doing so, Burn, who happened to be in the place at the time, came up to him and threatened to split his skull, and snake a " mummy of him, if he didn't start (that is, quit the house) instantly," He came off immediately to this office, and procured a peace-warrant against Burn. Burn having heard the complainant without .interrup tion to the enol, very coolly asked, " Have you done, Mr. Bond?"_-" I have, Mr. Buru," responded Mr. Bond. " Then, your Worship, (said Burn) I'll tell you how the whole matter stands. This here chap, Mr. Bond, came into the Rising Sun, what was my house once, as your Worship knows, and I have a WO/. interest in it yet, and he says as how he would take away a picture of mine, what hangs up in the parlour, worth 100 guineas of any man's money, and I told him as how.that he should not touch the picture, your Worship, because it was my own picture ; but as for saying that I would split his skull, or anything of the kind, it is such ungenteel language, your Worship, as I never uses to nobody." Sir G. FARRANT—Is this picture that you value at 100 guineas, a picture of yourself, then ? Burn—Oh no, your Worship, it is a picture of John Horne Tooke ; and when I gave up the house to Mr. Bond's father, I would not let this picture go with it, but always kept it as my own ; and because I won't let this chap take it away with him, he comes up here to your Worship, and gets a warrant against me, as if I did any thing wrong. Mm. Bond—lt's all false, your Worship. I was taking an inventory of my father's property on the premises, when Burn threatened to split my skull, and I know nothing about any Horne Tooke. Sir G. FARRANT-But Burn says, that Horne Tooke belongs to him, and that you have no right to put him in your inventory, or to take him away. Burn—Yes, your worship, he does belong to me, and I can bring the broker to prove that when I was giving up the house to Mr. Bond's father, Horne Tooke was never put into the inventory then, because I never would part with him. Mr. Bond—But your Worship, I know nothing about Horne Tooke, and never said a word about him ; but Burn said that he would split my skull, and that's what I brought him here for, and not about Horne Tooke. Sir G. FARRANT—Ay, but Burn says that if you let Horne. Tooke alone, he does'nt wish to meddle with you. Burn—Yes, your Worship, that's all I wants, for him to let Horne Tooke alone ; for I won't have him touched. I don't care, for ita nothing to me what Mr. Bond does in the house, so be lets Horne Tooke alone. Sir GEORGE—WeII, Mr. Bond, as you say yon have nothing to do with Horne Tooke, I think the best way is fsr you to let Horne To.)ke alone, and then Burn will let you alone. Mr. Bond—But, your Worship, I never heard or men tioned Horne Tooke's name in my life before to-day, and I should like to know what he has to do with this warrant ? Sir G. FARRANT—Ay, but you see it appears that Horne Tooke is the cause of it all, and you must therefore settle about him before the warrant can be settled. Do you give up all claim upon Horne Tooke. Mr. Bond—l don't want any claim to Horne Tooke, your Worship; I don't know any thing about him, or how Mr. Burn brought him into this business at all. I never mentioned the man's name ; all I want is not to have my head split. Burn—Your Worship, I'll take Horne Tooke home with me ; I'll take him away from the Rising Sun entirely to-day, and then Mr. Bond may go look for him. M;.' Bond—l don't want to look for him, or have any thing to say to him. Sir G. FARRANT-Then the best way is for you, Burn, to remove Horne Tooke out of Mr. Bond's way, and let the warrant stand over till be is gone. This arrangement was agreed to, and the parties retired. THAMES POLICE.--131c.s.mr.—A young and rather pretty looking female, was brought before Mr. BROBERIT for examination, charged with bigamy. The prisoner married a man named Jones, at St. Ann's Church in the East, in August, 1826, but did not cohabit with him many days ; and in October, in the same year, she was married again to a man named Hogg, at St. John of Wapping church. These two marriages were proved by several witnesses at a former examination ; but the pri soner having solemnly protested that the first marriage was informal, inasmuch that she represeated herself as spinster, when, in point offact, she was a widow, and when she got to the threshold of the church door, she quitted her husband, and had never cohabited with him, considering ' the marriage illegal, the Magistrate remanded her is order to make some inquiries into her statement, which it turned out was not in any point correct, therefore she was brought up yesterday, and fully committed to Newgate for SINIPLE REMEDY TO PURIFY WATER.- It is not so generally known as it ought to be, that pow dered alum possesses the property of purifying water. A large table spoonful of pulverised alum, sprinkled into a hogshead of water, (the water stirred briskly round at the time,) will, after the lapse of a few hours, by precipitating to the bottom the impure particles, so purify it, that it will be found to possess nearly all the freshness and clear ness of the finest spring, water. A pailful, containing four gallons, may be purified by a single tea spoonful. This in formation is, obviously, not without its ♦alue in London. We are requested to state, that the prosecu tions of MARY WHATRLY, at the late Stafford Assizes, for setting fire to her dwelling-house, on two separate ec. casions, with intent to defraud the County Fire•oflice, were not instituted by that establishment, but at the instance of the local magistrates, without consulting the County Fire-office. As a person was passing over a common near Chesham, on Monday last, he observed a bird, which be supposed to be a hawk, fly from a hedge and alight upon the turf, when a water wagtail ran to meet it, and to his great surprise appeared to give the hawk something from its mouth. It is supposed that the bird mistaken for a hawk was a young cuckoo, which had been reared by the wagtail, it being a fact generally known that the cuckoo seldom if ever hatches her own young, but deposits her eggs in the nest of some other bird.—Buelts Gazette. The salmon fishings in the Tay are conti nuing to be very successful. The extension of the open time to the 14th of September will prove very beneficial to the tacksmen, and make up to them for the deficiencies of the three preceding unfortunate seasons. The great proportion of the fish at present caught are grilses; salmon are scarce, but what are taken are uncommonly large anti fine fish, and bring fully the price we formerly mentioned ; trout and grilses are fallen to sd. and 6d. per lb.—Edin buryit -Eveniny Courant. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Rose, Bermondsey, on th e rema i ns o f a man, name unkno vn, which were found floating in the river near Mill-stairs. The body was dreadfully mutilated, being without a head and left leg. JOHN I.lEtamEv, a waterman, deposed, that about 12 o'clock on Sunday, as he was pulling his wherry near Mill .stairs, he observed something floating on the water, which on being taken out, was discovered to be the body of a man in a mutilated condition. The witness added, that the corpse was tied up with rope yarns. A surgeon, who was examined, stated it to be his opinion, that the man whose corpse was found, as above described, had died a natural death, and was afterwards dissected. This being the whole of the evidence produced, a verdict of " Fouad dead" was returned. 9a, LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of Tuesday.)

We also seen another sample, the average of a very large Wbe district, which was quite equal to the average sample last year, and though we may have a great deal of Wheel' of an indifferent quality, yet on the whole we have doubt but Wheat in the eastern parts of Kent will pros' an average quantity.
