blood. During the last war between Russia and Turkey every one of the Turkish fortresses on the Danube was, in its turn, stormed by the Russians, who, with the exception of the storm ing of 'broil alone,- were repulsed with severe loss. The same fortresses were, a month after the fruitless attempts, each of them reduced by famine. It is likely enough that the recollectio n of those occurrences will induce the Emperor not to risk. defeat or s evere loss, where success is in the least doubtful. through the force of arms, and greatly probable through the means now re sorted to. The Emperor was to leave Odessa about the 15th, for his head -quarters before shims.a. Notwithstanding the critical aspect of affairs, a good deal of commereial business was going on at Constanti nop l e , an d severa l ship ments of colonial produce for Odessa had been latterly made. - No returns of former cargoes to that place had, however, yet been sent. The exchange on London is stated as being low on the sth, but no quotation could be mentioned, as the price is usually regulated by the nature of the bill transactions with Europe a day or two previous to the departure of the regular post, which always takes place on the 10th and 25th of the mouth.—Bid. In the very valuable speech of the Rev. Mr. Seymour, at Sligo, few more truths were told Ids audience thi n they could listen to with much satisfactioe.. It appears from it that those most sealo'f.s partisans of the Reformation; the Orange gentry of Ireland, at the very - time that they are deafening the nation with complaints against Popery, and distributing Bibles, and making a dozen or two converts in a year to the Protestant. Religion and Scripture truth, are very quietly driving off the Protestants by thousands and tens of thousands, to make room for Catholics. This it is, was, and ever will be. Interest is of no religion—br rather, interest is the grand religion to which all men bend the knee. • " Have not," says Mr. Seymour, " three ships laden chiefly with Protestant emigrants .sailed from this town of Sligo within the last three months, and am I to be told by you (the gentlemen of Sligo); that You cannot find Protestants for your estateS? Let us now leave home, and look around us - . It appears, as I am assured, as nearly as can be collected from official returns; that last war—sone single year—upwards of 25,000 Protestant souls emigrated from Ireland." The emigrants could not pay what Mr. Seymou r calls the pish Rent, and thus they were allowed by the landlords to carry their Protestant outs elsewhere.. But out of the Popish Rent, the landlords nó doubtemi tributed their mite to the fund for the purchasing Bibles to be distributed among those who will never look into them. Thus do Well endeavour to cheat the world with words, and sometimes succeed in deceiving themselves. How little is known in England of the real springs .of the ac tions of those who have had the ascendancy in Ireland since the Revolution I The Protestant religion forsooth ! • Trenchard, an English gen tleman of rare honesty, who, with Gordon, pub . - lisbed the well-known Cato's Letters, &C., was one of the Parliamentary Commissioners for de tecting the frauds committed in disposing of the forfeited lands, and. such a scene of villainy he exposes in the Report to Parliament. But the sons of Zeruiah were too powerful for him. It has sometimes been supposed that the penal laws were relaxed, because the Protestants were tired of . oFpTcssiog.. popis4 rents: wrought tl4 miracle. .. The rents.earhe in- -aid of humanity'. The Rev. Mr. Seymour refreshed ,the memories of his Protestant 'audience with some rather awk+ ward facts in roofs' of this. But th e periodical Press of Ireland. of the time abounds with proofs. In a distinguished series of papers published in Dublin in 1769, 1772, &C., Under the title of " The Bachelor," there is a curious paper, illuss trative of the cause of the liberality of the Pro-: testant gentry.- The, discovery.of America," says the writer, " introduced.the and potatoes into Europe, and it would puzzle the Constitutional Club or the Robin .H oo d Society to determine .which .of them has been most prejudicial to. society. But it is.now time to examine how this kingdom suffers in air eminent degree by this cursed root. It haS raised the rent of land to a most ex orbitant pitch ; for the peasants, by living. solely on potatoes, drinking water, and going naked; maintain themselves and families at a very cheap rate, and prove the best tenants to our needy landlords. These humane gentlemen, therefore, labour. ind e f a ti ga bly to plant the potatoe-feeders in all parts of the kin g d o m. Whenever a lease expires in the North, they are generously invited from Connaught and Munster by public-advertisements, under the gentle call of no exception being made to religion." The Pro testant manufacturer (the manufacturers of the north of Ireland are at the same time farmers), who who must eat bread, is out-bid bythese emigrants 4 nd banished from his country to take shelter in the wilds of America. Thu s potatoes serve as a bribe to our lauded o. - . el t - Ty to encourage Po pery ; and our Charter Schools can be of no ser vice till that weed. is ban4hekl-from th e face of the earth." Thus we see 01 de-,renal Law s , the Biblical Learning of the Divines, th e F ro _ t estaut Constitution—that Constitution for which Lord Eldon would shed Jiis last tear—under mined by the potatoe. Let us thank Godit is no worse ; for if Ireland had been handed over to the Jews, as the celebrated Harrington proposed, and the Jews had taken it into their heads to eat potatoes--between which and Protestant stomachs there scents to - be an irreconcilable enmity--to a certainty the Jews would have be. come the masters of the Protestant Constitution Panopia keland), says the author o. Oceans, the soft mother el a slothful and pusillani mous people, is a neighbour island, riciently sub. jected by, the arms orOceana ; since almost depo pulated for shaking the yoke, and at length re planted with new race. But (through what virtues of the soil, or vice of the air sown it be) they can still be degenerate. Wherefore, seeing it is neither -to yield men fit for arms, nor necessary it aliou/d,' hid been the interest of Oceana so to have disposed of this province, being both rich in the nature of the soil, and full of commodious ports TM- trade, that it might have been ordered for the best i n re l at i on to h er purse, which, in my opinion .(if it had b een thought in time) might hav e }teen best done by planting it with Jews, allowing them th e i r own rules and laws ; for that would 'have - brought them suddenly limn all parts of the world, an d in sufficient numbers. And though the Je ws be now altogether for merchandize, yet in th e Laud of Canaan (except since their exile froM whence they have not been landlords) they were altogether for agriculture ; and there is no cause why a man should doubt' but having a fruitful country, and excellent ports too, they would be good at both. Panopia, 'well peopled, would be worth a matter of four millions dry rents; that is, besides the advantage of the agri culture and trade, with which a nation of that IL- dustry comes at last to as much more, 'Wherefore Panopia being farmed out by the - Jews and their heirs for ever, for the pay of a provincial army to protect them during the term of seven years, and for two millions annual revenue from that time forward, besides the custom which would pay the provincial army, would have been a bargain of such advantage, both to them and this com monwealth, as is not to be found otherwise by either. . . . To receive the Jews after any other manner into a commonwealth were to maim it ; for they of all nations never incorporate, but taking pp the room of a limb, are of no use or office to the body, while they suck the nou rishment which would sustain a natural and use , -ful member." However, thank God, we have escaped, this danger ; though to landlords looking after rents, Jews not eating pigs —therefore breeding them merely fin- sale—would have been an acquisition. Thus se see how the elective franchise was given to Catholics. A landholder having dispossessed his Protestant tenantry, would have been without influence without this communication. The same causes which have brought our Protestant Constitution thus far will carry her still farther. She is no match for Po tatoes and Popery.—Morning Chronicle. It is stated in an Irish Paper that Mr. Daw son, whose speech at the late Londonderry Meeting excited so much surprise and indigna tion among the Anti-Catholic party, has not changed sides, but will still continue to vote against the Popish Claims. We never consi dered his speech as an evidence of hiS conver sion to the sentiments of the Catholic Associa tion ; we attributed it to the effect of fear, in consequence of the threat thrown out in the As sociation that an attempt would be made in his county to play over again the drama that had been enacted in the county of Clare. It was shortly after that threat had been thrown out that the meeting to commemorate the raising of the siege of Derry was held, and Mr. Dawson, in stead of hurling back defiance at the.agitators; as a more intrepid politician would have done, thought it prudent to deprecate their interference by abandoning the old Derry watch-word of " no surrender," and raising the cry of tempo rary submission. It was, therefore, that he de picted. the- ascendancy of the Roman Catholic Club in such appalling colours, and described the whole of the Aristocracy, Clergy, and Gen try of Ireland as prostrate at their feet, because no charge of individual timidity could be made against a man who only bowed down to a power, whose irresistible supremacy had already trampled the Protestant strength of the country to the cart h. The speech has, perhaps, had the effect of di verting the leaders of the Association from their purpose, and Mr. Dawson is at leisure to conci liate the Orangemen Whoin be had so grieVously offended.—Moriting Herald. Whatever may be the result as regards the in dividual, there can, we should 'hope, be no doubt but that the present discoveries as to the way in which some of the pecuniary concerns of Greenwich Hospital have been managed, must lead to a prompt and efficient scrutiny into, and a consequent reform of, such of the alleged abuses as turn out to exist. The present agita tion of the subject, we apprehend, arises from a circumstance, .untbrtunitely of no uncommon occurrence among us—viz., of high official station being looked upon as a mere source of honour or emolument, wahOut much reference to the way ;in which those duties are 'fulfilled. - It was found very convenient, for instance, for a Noble Lord, some years ago, to enjoy the honour and emoluments of a high office in the Exchequer, while a deputy signed even the principals name to documents, which rendered them in-' valid. The Treasurership too of this Hospital is amy snug berth (and a very proper one' for ' a Naval Officer. It is ti the credit of the Govern ment that it shOuld be so filled ; and we trust it always will be. But then there is no reason why such an appointment should be rendered a mere sinecure, or that a deputy, giving security to- the amount of 2,0001. should have the whole and sole command of the entire funds of this magnificent institution ; but here are; besides, four-and-twenty Directors, composed of Noble men and others of the highest rank and character in the country. What are they about that these alleged abuses can occur, and be going on for. so many. years, without their knowledge ? Is a Directership of Greenwich Hospital looked upon as a mere feather ? Even be it so, there is no want of subordinate officers to see that all the details are well looked after. We have not time to count their actual number, nor room to give their various designations ; neither do we mean to insinuate that there is one too many ; but this we know, that they occupy a page and a half of the Red Book ; and as they must, among them, take a large share of the funds of the Hospital, we hope m future, that means will be taken that among them the funds of the Hospital will be looked after with somewhat more circumspection than has, apparently, been at all times the case. I We gave yesterday, in the shape of a para graph from a Dublin paper, a soi-disant audio riled denial, that Mr. Dawson, the Member for Derry, had changed Isis sentiments on the Ca tholic question, notwithstanding his avowals at the Derry dinner ; and we have since heard that 'h e had written to Mr. Peel, his brother-in-law, and to the Duke of Wellington, explaining the reasons Which induced 111111 to make such a me morable speech, and that lie had received no answers to his letters. We do not vouch for the authenticity of this intelligence ; but it has come to us from a quarter on which we have been ac customed to place sonic reliance, and it may not therefore be wholly without fOundation. We had been led to believe, however, that Mr. Daw son had conummicated both with Mr. Peel and the Duke of Wellington before he committed himself and his principles at the Derry dinner ; la i t ic r e , to imagine, fora and whatever we may thi n k o f t h e former, we tl Ni e n g e au opinion of o t en tertain too highr a ha signified his wishes, he would, on any consi deration, retract. The question o f C atholic Emancipation Li c ertainly one of fearf u l i mport not because its concession would endang er the .e it would ofFend a larg e Constitution, but because I this country ; and it b e . body of the 'Topic o haves in - consequence every one who may h o ld the Isiah station which the Duke of • e lington ' now occupies, t o thi n k well h i fore he acts ; but still, fearful as conces.ion might be, when viewed as connected with th e fe e li ngs o f the people of England, it is still more fearful when we think of the effects which its refusal might produce on thOSC of Ireland. If Mr. Sheil is to be believed, they are regimented, marshalled, and ready for action—rebellion is ripe—and were it to explode, where, let us ask, would be the power of this country ? Seven millions of men are some strength to a country in a time of difficulty; but it would not simply be the lots of these seven mi lions--but the loss aLo of those who might be necessary to keep them *down.—Morning, Advertiser. The effects of Mr. Peel's Bill are daily and hourly, the nearer we approach the month of April, arousing the country to a consciousness of the fate that awaits it. We can state, upon the most undoubted authority, that in most of the manufacturing towns, and in all those dis tricts where the people depend most upon the accommodation of the Country Bankers, these Bankers arc systematically calling in their credits and narrowing their issues to a very large amount weekly. The progression of this restriction is so uniform and so general, that the greatest em barrassment will shortly' be produced, which will increase till the country is once more rendered frantic, and all its confidence absorbed in a tor rent of bankruptcy. We have reached this al ternative—we must either resort to the viti ated, the insecure, and the discreditable cur rency of Lancashire, or the trade and industry of the country must submit to the most ruinous restrictions, by which its manu facturing population will again be plunged into all the horrors of pauperism. The in fbrination we ore daily receiving from almost every county in England is of that kind which deprives us Even of a doubt as to the result. In these circumstances the first question that arises is, will Ministers persevere ? Will they, with the fatal effects before their ; eyes—the certainty of fresh impoverishments, and a declining Revenue—the discontent that will cry aloud in the streets, and the complaints that will pour in from the collectors of the taxes = will they, with these facts staring them. in the face, "persevere in this most unwise and unjusti fiable measure ? We still cling to the hope that they will see their error at the eleventh hour, and that when they perceive the machine of Govern ment grating from the want of oil, and from the visible poverty of the people, they will relax the restraint and abandon the Bill as they have done before. lt is not now a question merely involv ing the consistency of Mr. Peel and the prospe rity of the nation. The Right Hon. Gentleman is not now mixed up with it. To him the country has ceased to look up either in hope or in cola deface. He cannot now stoop to what is called ex pediency; he has identified himself so much with the measure,. and dove4ailed into it all the inte rests of his friends, and fortificd.it with so many family pledges, that neither he nor they can honourably or consistently consent to its post ponement, or .conditionally abandon it. But is the Duke of Wellington so bound ? We affirm that he is not. He has lately admitted, in a correspondence which he has in the most laud able spirit carried .on with certain eminent bankers in the country, that the calculation which Mr. Goulburn made to Parliament respecting the amount of one-pound notes in circulation, was under-rated, and that many of his statements were founded on/a/se data. He has frankly and honestly admitted - this, and he has, moreover, conceded that the evidence of those witnesses be fore the Bullion Committee, which formed, the basis of their celebrated report, is equally erro neous and absurd. We assert, on the most nil, questionable authority, that the Noble Duke has candidly declared these to be his sentiments. Are we, therefore, to believe that_ the Duke .of Wellin g ton i s .likely to legislate in the teeth of -his-own conviction, or surrender his opinions to the fettered opinions of others ? Having 'Adz mitted that the principle of the Bill is fallacious; he cannot, without further inquiry, consistently enforce it. All eyes are turned towards .him— every hope and wish concentrate in him—his high character is at stake—the peace and prosperity of the countryare at stake—the fortunes of thou sands depend upon his interference—and we con fidently flatter ourselves he will not disappoint the nation. The authorities upon which the Bullion Report was founded have proved to be destitute of all authority. The men who influenced thesenti ments of the Committee, and upon whose evi deuce the Legislature acted, are now universally accused of having been utterly ignorant of the subject. The country bankers were not con sulted on the subject. Mr. Hudson Gurney alone, and a gentleman of the name of Stuckey, a clerk in the Treasury, and a banker at Bristol, were the only individuals belonging to the country banking interest who were examined.— A few bill-brokers and stock-brokers, dealers in coin and clippers of exchanges, men of London alone, educated in the grand mart of intrigue and fluctuation, constituted the select array of witnesses. A more imperfect, a more partial, a more exceptionable body of evidence, on which to found a legislative measure, was never submitted •to Parliament. For these reasons, we have not only a right to demand, but reasons to expect, that the Duke of Wellington will re open the deliberations of this Committee, and bring them under the serious and dispassionate review of the country. Before the interests of the nation are committ e d by th e measure—be fore the ruin which we dread has overtaken us— before we are plunged into an inextricable laby rinth, it would be well to reconsider—not the effects, fbr these are before our eyes—but the solidity and soundness of that evidence on which the measure rests. We trust that the Duke of Wellington will institute that inquiry on an early clay in the next Session _of Parliament. We sincerely rely upon thi s exercise of his inde pendence as an unshackled and uncompromise& Minister of the Crown. We expect that he will do the same justice to the English bankers and the commercial and. manufacturing classes de pendent upon them, which was reluctantly done to the Scottish bankers by a former Ministry. If we are disappointed in these just, and we have reason to say sanguine • expectations, we can only say, we have greatly misunderstood the views and the character of the Duke of Welling ton.—Nero 7imes. • A carriage coninninication is, we hear, about to be made between St. James'r-square and St. James's strett, by adding to King-street the court which now ter minates its west end.

MANSION-HOUsE.—Yesterday a young man, who said his name was William Brithant, was brought before Alderman FAREBROTII ER, who sat in the early part of the day for the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempt ed to defraud Mr. Kipling. a hosier, in the Poultry, of goods to the amount of between 501. and 60/. The pri oner, who appeared to be about 23 or 24 years of age, , was dressed in a very fashionably-made green frock. His hair was bushy at the sides and parted in the middle, and he looked very like those city hair-cutters who stand at their masters' doors, with " not a hair astray," to catch customers. Ile stood at the bar without appearing to think that there was any thing out of the ordinary way in his situation, and he heard every thing with perfect in difference. Mr. Kipling , stated, that the prisoner came to his shop, and said that he wanted an outfit for New South Wales, to which country he was going forthwith. Articles of dress were shown to him, and he chose the most costly, stating at the same time, that he was nephew to Mr. Bal lard, who resided at Dock-head, and who would pay for the outfit. The order was taken, lint before it was exe cuted, the witness had the prudence to make the necessary inquiries. There rrete tWo gentletteia of the name of Bal lard residing at boekhead, but both disclaimed the prisoner, who, upon returning to the shop, was apprehended as a swindler. Inquiry bad also been made at the prisoner's lodgings in High Holborn, where it appeared he resided with his mother, and it was found that several tradespeople had complained of, and were antious to meet with, bins. His mother s upon findiag that all was bhawn, walked out one morning with a gentleman, and bad never returned since, and she left a rent debt amounting to 184 behind her. Alderman FA REBROTHER asked whether any person ac companied the prisoner ? It was answered that his 'nether was with him at the time be was looking over the articles. Alderman FA REBROTHEE-He told you he was going to New South Wales. If he does go, he won't go either at your expense or his own. Didn't you lose any thing at all by him ? Mr. Kipling—Nothing. Alderman FA REBROTHER—WeII, Sir, what recount do you give of this transaction ? Prisoners—l don't Wish to say any thing at present. The Atnsearast then remanded the pricener until Tuesday next. A waterman 'vas summoned for having charged more than his fare to and front a steam-boat lying in the Theme*. It is now a common practice w ith some of the waterinen to state when they are accused of making overcharges, that the luggage has been enormously heavy, and as they are entitled to demand a shilling for every hundred weight above 661 h. which a passenger may have conveyed without a charge, they think very little of mistaking the weight of every box or article they carry. On this occasion, there happened to be a box of ladies' bonnets, along with other things. It was clearly proved that the weight was at least 1501 b. lighter than it was represented to be by the water man in this ease. Alderman FAKE:BROTHER said that he should be content to fine the defendant 55., as the man might have laboured under some mistake. The bonnets of the women had of late grown to such a prodigious size, that a man could not judge, from his former knowledge of that article of dress, of the weight. - The ss. and expenses were then paid. Another waterman was summoned for having charged more than his fate fur taking a passenger from Alderman's stairs to Blackfriars-bridge. The overcharge was just double. Alderman FaiesnaoTHEß fined the defendant 55., but said•that it was evident that the old system would not be broken up until the full penalty of 5/. was inflicted in every case. GUILDHALL.—John Clerk, a genteelly-dressed young ' man, well known to the police, was brought before Sir J. PEERING yesterday, charged with stealing 17s. from the pocket of Mr. dyers, of Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn•fields, in Bartholomew-fair, on Wednesday evening. Mr. Givers stated, that while he was showing his two children the wild beasts at Wombwell's booth, the Prisoner Was very officious in explaining to the children the habits &c. - of the animals. The crowd in the show was very great, and complainant was obliged to lift the youngest boy upon his shoulder for a few minutes, to see what was going forward ; and while in this position, the prisoner, who had cOntinued hovering about them, pressed a little upon him.. When complainant put the child down, he felt for his money, and missing it, he went to the entrance of the booth for a constable. Here, however, he was told no officer was employed, and every one was expected to look to himself, and he returned into the booth, deter ►aned to be his own officer upon this ()erasion. But he didsmt succeed in meeting with the prisoner again till he was leaving the booth, when, feeling a tug at his pocket, he turned round, and seized the person, who proved to he the very man he was in search of. In dragging him through the fair, complainant was severely beaten by about a dozen fel lows, who wished to rescue the prisoner, but on reaching Duke-street, he fell in with Hawkins, the moat shialmnan, who secured the man. The prisoner also did his best to set the mob against him. He first threw off his hat, which was full of handkerchiefs, and which was secured by his accomplices, and then chargrd witness with having stolen the hat; and he also charged another person, who was assisting the complainant, with having robbed him of a watch. Only ss. 6d. was found on his person, but he had had ample opportunity to pass the rest of Mr. Cavern's money to his companions. The prisoner denied the charge, but the ALDERMAN committed him for trial. There were only two _other charges of picking pockets in he fair. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mrs. Springay, a respectable looking woman, was yesterday brought before the Magi strate charged. with having an hour before attempted to drown herself in the canal at Hackney. . . . . A labouring man employed on the canal, stated that he had been to his dinner, when returning from it, feeling rather sleepy he laid himself down in a field, near to the spot, to have a nap, but was soon awoke by bearing a vio lent scream. He ran to the lock of the canal, and before be got there saw a man take the woman out. The woman told him, witness, she wished herself in Heaven ! that she was the mother of nine children, she was in great distress, and ill-used by her husband. Mr. BENETT desired the woman who was standing at the bsr, to come round, when he feelingly asked her how she could think of committing such a rash act. Prisoner—l am a miserable woman; I have been mar ried now twenty-one years to a man, or rather a monster in cruelty, who ill-uses me daily by beating me with a broomstick and a rope. I had a warrant here sometime ago against him, but he never attended, nor did I after wards follow it up. Mr. BINETT—Do you not think it is a horrible thing to leave nine children unprovided for ? Pray, what does your husband allow you towards the maintenance of your ch ildreu ? Prisoner—He has allowed me 12s. a-week, but ,latterly has neglected them entirely. Oh ! I wish they were all in Heaven. Mr. BENET': asked her if (providing be granted a war ra.it against her hti;band) she would go home with her daughter, who was in the office. . The prisoner promised as far as laid in her power, but would rather nut go back with either her daughter or her Sister.— The Magistrate said will you go to Bethnal-green work• house until to-morrow, when your husband will be brought before me ? To this the prisoner assented ; and an officer was de. sired to attend her. A warrant was issued forthwith against the husbind. MARLBOROUGHSTREET.—Yesterday a decent. looking middle-aged evidently in a state of much f a tigue and exhaustion, and carrying a very fine infant., about 18 months old, in her arms, applied to Mr. ROE, the sitting Magistrate, for some assistance, or advice how to act in the distressing situation in which she was placed. She was the wife, she said, of a soldier of the 35th Regiment of Foot, which has been absent from England for upwards of t wo years, but has very recently returned, and is now quar tered at Jersey. Since the departure of her husband from England, she said, she had not seen or heard from him, as he was obliged to leave her behind ; but having heard of the return of the regiment to Jersey, she was on her way to join him at that island, but was' now totally destitute of the means of proceeding, as she had not a farthing to support herself or her child upon the road. The MAGISTRAT E ach e d her where she had come from ? —She replied, that she had walked up from Cambridge, and arrived in Londo❑ about three o'clock the day before. On her arrival in town, she went directly to Mr. Mac donald, the army -agent, who is the agent to the 35th Regiment, and told there who she tva•, her distressed situ ation, and asked fin• Rome aid to help her to join her• hus band, but she was refused ; and the consequence was, that she was obliged to walk the streets with her infant in her arms all night, and without any sustenance. The MauIsTRATE asked her what parish she belonged to ?—She replied, that she had no claim on any parish, as else was born in a marching regiment, the 3d, or Old Buffs. The MAGISTRATE inquired what parish her husband had a claim on ? She said on none, for he, too, was born , in a marching regiment, the sth, or Young Buffs. Why did you not apply to the authorities at Cam bridge, before you started," asked Mr. Roe, "for some as siatance to join your husband ?" The poor woman said that she did, and the Mayor of Cambridge gave her half-a crown, but that was espended before she reached London. The Marais:maTe asked her if she was sure she had ap plied at the agent's proper office, for he certainly saw by the army-list to which she had just referred, that Mr. Macdonald was, as she said, the agent to the 35th Regt. She answered that she had applied there twice, and on the last occasion, when she mentioned that she mom go and apply to a Magistrate, the clerk said that lie did not care one pin for either her or the Magistrate. " And I dare say he spoke truth," said Mr. ROE. " I really do not know, my poor woman, how I can Assist you, as you did not sleep any where lust night; if you had, the parish where you slept I could call upon to aid yon," "itis a h ea - se, Sir," said the poor woman, " that after my husband and myself have been all our lives in the army, and he has served his King and his country , fur 19 years, 1 and my little child should be allowed to go about starving in this manner." " Indeed it is a hard case," said the Magistrate, " and I am sorry I cannot remedy it." Mr. ROE then ordered half-a-crown to be given to the poor woman, and she withdrew with many eriptessioes of her thanks and gratitude. She gave her name Sophia Preebe-g; HATTON-GARDEN.—The driver of what is called a " go-cart," or a one-horse-chaise, w,s yesterday brought before Mr. Serjeant Szetox and Mr. LAING, charged with obstructing the carriage-way, plying for hire without licence, and assaulting a constable. The complainant, a constable of the name of Cope, stated; • that sit.* the Comrhttictrherit of artlitjlorneet-fitir, Uri roads on each side leading from the Angel inn, at Isling ton, to the city, have been completely lined with carts, waggons, wains, and other carriages, plying for hire, and taking np passengers to and from Smithfield ; and so greA was the nuisance created by these vehicles, that the long stages and gentlemen's carriages could not possibly draw up in any one convenient spot. He- had orders, he said, from the Commissioners of the parish to remove these obstruc tions ; and accordingly, perceiving the defendant's cart for the space of three or four hunts that thorni - -g to beet tatted in the catriage-way, without any person attending to it, he went to it, with a View of taking it to the green-yard; but he had no sooner laid hold of the horse's reins, than the defendant rushed out of a public-house, where he bad been at the time drinking, and wresting the reins out of his hands, swore he should never take his horse and cart away ; to a green-yard, and dared him again to lay bands on it. , 1 Cope, in the execution of his duty, persisted in removing what be considered to be a nuisance, and turning the horse's head in the direction of the green-yard, the de fendant imtnediately struck him, and became so violent and obstinate that he had to take _him into custody and brit% him before the magistrates. The defendant being asked was his cart licensed, he re plied that it was, when Mr. LAING informed Mr. Serjeant SELLON that those sort of vehicles, one-horse chaises, were licensed only to ply in Surrey,—that is, from London to Greenwich, from London to Croydon, &e., but. hail no permission whatever to ply at this side of the water, and inquired of the defendant where he had come from? The defendant replied, that he had come from the Kent-road, sent, thither by his master, who wished to turn his horse and earl to the best advantage during the time of the fair ; but he insisted that be had not drawn tip above ten minutes when the constable interfered; and he denied to the Ma gistrate the charge of having assaulted bins. Mr. Serjeant SELLON thought there was no harm in a man's endeavouring to turn to the most advantage such property ae a horse and cart during the fair, • but agreed with Mr. LAI so in fining the defendant ss. for the asas au lt. • A person of the name of Bele, clerk to Thomas Stirling, Esq., the coroner, brought a woman in custody to this office yesterday, and applied to the Magistrate for an order of commitment to send her to the New Prison, under the following circumstances :—Some time ago a man having murdered a child of hers, in the parish of Maryleisure, an inquest was :held upon the body, and a verdict of wi;ful murder was returned by the Jury. Upon the Coroner's warrant the man was taken into custody, and fully com mitted. The woman, however, having since manifested a disposition to refrain from prosecuting the murderer, and having fled urwards of 70 miles into the country to avoid the necessity of doing en, she was pursued and taken, and he (the applicant) producing the Coroner's warrant for her apprehension, wished to have an order to secure her within the walls of a prison till the murder should be tried. Mr. LAING said he would have nothing to 'do in the case, and told him to get either a 'commitment from the Coroner or take the woman before the magistrates at Mary lebone police-office. The applicant and the female then left the office. QUEEN-SQUARE.---A nrsreli..o* Antatobt..—Y,B..; terday morning a young woman, With an Infant at her breast, who gave her name Ann 43furrey, was brought before D. GAEGORIE, Esq. charged with the following robbery and assault. George Clackioston, bricklayer, of No. 4, Exeter-build-. ings, Knightsbridge, stated that the prisoner's father and mother lodged in his house, and that she (the prisoner) was in the habit of coming repeatedly to see them. Last Friday Week he missed a new table-cloth from a chest of drawers, and taxed the prisoner with having taken it ; she acknowledged the fact, but on his attempting to take her into custody, she seized the poker, and laid him sprawling on the floor; the prisoner consequently effected her escape. Laing last night into a public-house, he espied the pri soner there drinking. lie went out and procured a con stable, and en his entering the roots with bin,, the pri soner flew at. him (prosecutor) and knocked him down with a quart pot, and it was with considerable difficulty that she was secured. • f<everal charges of a similar nature were made against le prisoner, and she was remarultd until to-morrow. TOWN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.—A young woman, calling herself Lettice Izzard, was.introdueed by the parish officers of St. Olave'e, to whom •he had made application for relief, to substantiate her husband's desertion of her; and having stated that after being married to him for five years, he sold the bed from under her about a fortnight since, and left her the wretched inmate of bare walls, with half-a -crown only for her support, the husband, a man se date and of bland manners, was called upon for reply, con veyed in these terms : " Sir," addressing the Alderman, " I have borne for years with this woman's conduct under very trying circum stances, in the belief that it was out of my power legally to rid myself of her ; frequently has she left me for days toge 7 ther, returning at all hours of the night and morning so overcome with liquor that I have feared to quit the house lest she should set it en fire ; in abort, to such an abject state did she reduce herself, and so lost to all sense of shame, that my fortitude was about to forsake me, when I learned that she had another husband living, who had a prior claim to her; and joyful enough I was at the intelligence. " Is it so ?" inquired the ALnertma xof the young woman. "I do not deny it," she answered, trembling ; bat we parted, after living together for six years, on my discovering that he had another wife." " Another wife ! said Mr. Alderman ANSLEY (who presided) with surprise ; " then how could you deceive this poor man so shamefully ?" The young woman said she did net ennsiderit a decep tion : the had been informed she was at liberty to marry again, and that the defendant was no stranger.to her sitttation. I . k Mendaut, dertied, the least knowledge of theformcr tnairiage until a few days before he discarded her. "At all events," he continued, " she has no claim upon me." " Yes, she has," returned the ALDERMAN, " till you substantiate your right to get rid of her before another tribunal." The parish officecs here interposed, to submit to the Alderman that passing her to the parish her first husband teas living in might obviate further difficulty. The Alderman saw no objection to such a course, and the young womrn being content, it was so settled—she being.told she had the same title to proceed against him that the second husband had against her. There were no children by either marriage. wai res stcoat, a r . e m s tc p . e a c t t : bolre hat lo o e k n i t n e g re.d y o t u h n e g 0 thaata.eii; in UNION-HALL—In the co urse o f yes t er d ay morn i ng , without t e k i t ei h . t, c a o n a t d , addressing the Magistrate, said—" I have to apologise to your Worship, for appearing in this trim before you, brit it has been unavoidable, my landlady having deprived me of several of lay garments, and being unfortunately without a change of clothes, I was compelled to appear before you to solicit your advice." MAGIATHATE—What i 9 the nature cf yonr application ? Applicant —I am indebted to a lodging-house -keeper one week's rent, and bring unable to discharge it the day on which it was due, my l a ndlady stole into my bed-room the night before, and took po s se s sion of my cost , waistcoat, and hat. tihe now refuses to deliver them up unless the rent is paid, and I am at present in such difficulties that I cannot raise the money, nor shall I be enabled to do so without she resigns my clothes. What am I to do under these circumstances ? inquired the young man. MAGISTRATZ-It was useless for you to come here, 1 taus cannot assist you ; it must be admitted that your landlady has adopted a very harsh method of obtaining her rent, by depriving you of the only coat you have ; it is well, how ever, that she did not deprive you of your b reec h es : t h a t would have rendered your situation still more disagreeable. Applicant—l have some friends at the west end of the town, from whom I could borrow the money, if I only could appear with some sort of covering over my shoulders. The applicant was acctuntnodated with the loan of a watchman's great coat, and he set tiff to the teat ends j ilt; tired as a guardian of th e n i g ht, t o so li c i t a f a% ot laf friends. A man named Green was charged with stealing a glut', the property of Mr. Hay, landlord of the White Horse, 10 lio•lland-street.
