termination to seek no defence by arms, except from the arms in possession of the King's forces. Let them stand upon the law alone, and the troops will take the field a gainst the Orange in cendiaries in their favour. If Catholic blood • should be iniquitously spilt by ruffians who pro fane the name of God by invoking it for the de- • struction of his creatures, the law will bring the ' murderers t o condign punishment, and the pre- • text for a display of force to overawe the pea santry will be altogether got rid of. In the mean time it rejoices us to learn from our private let ters that the anxiety of the leading Catholics to restrain the peasants, has been attended in the counties of Tipperary and Waterford with sues cess the most gratifying and perfect. The people, though assembling by tens of thousands, gave up their preparations, and one and all went home. Mr. Lawless, whose proceedings in the North were distinguished by a zeal not unal loyed with vanity, has been, we are given to un derstand, recalled, and many frightful collisions thereby, we trust, averted. A postscript to one of our letters adds the consolatory words, that " from this time forth, the processions will he discontinued." God grant it : there may then be reasonable hopes of a happy termination to a crisis, whose aspect hitherto has been such as to terrify the stoutest heart. But once for all, the King's Government must do its part towards a peimanent settlement of Ireland. We should hear with pleasure, as in fact we have heard, that the Duke of Wellington has conceived some project of arrangement, if we could place any confidence in the soundness or success of his Grace's legislative enterprise. If the Duke of Wellington undertakes a measure of conciliation we would respectfully beseech his Grace to mould it according to the spirit of Lord Liverpool, who declared that if he could bring himself to emancipate at all, he would do so broadly, manfully, and liberally, without any suspicious and offensive nibbling away the prin ciple, or giving it some wretched compromise for a rider. if his Grace takes pride in the sugges tion of any scheme of pacification, as well h e may do if it lead eventually to peace, we trust thatit will notsmell from the outset of any narrow absurdity or inefficiency—that it will not tend to irritate and expedite a crisis, instead of averting one—that it will not be alike unsatisfactory to every party, or expose the incompetency of its author to the world ; or, being unfortunately all these things, that it will not, like a child of his Grace's old age, be petted and pushed forward with the pertinacity which characterised him for many years of his life, but that he will be found as tractable by his own countrymen, and as much indisposed to civil war, as certain Eu ropean cabinets have found him, when they offered the alternative of a foreign contest for the condition of refusing their demands. Should, unhappily—in subversion of all our pacific prospects—the Irish soil become a field of battle, we hope that a well-known and somewhat med dling Marshal, who now parades the north of England, sounding the praises of the illustrious Miguel—(Reader, it is positively true have the condescension to interfere so far on behalf of Great Britain as to prevail on that Grateful monar c h, th oug h h e exc l u d es B r iti s h ships from the once friendly port of Lisbon, not to lend it for die preparation of squadrons des tined to land rebel stores, or arms, or troops in Ireland.—lbid. The blockade of the Dardanelles is now no longer a matter of conjecture. In another part of our Paper will be found a copy of a letter from Lord Dunglas to the Chairman of the Committee of Lloyd's, announcing that he was directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acquaint him that his Majesty's Government had received information that it was " the intention of his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, to establish a blockade of the Dardanelles," but that the blockade would be " limited to the prevention of vessels bound to Constantinople, and laden with provisions, or articles contraband of war, from entering the Straits." It is well known that the Turks have been abundantly sup plied from this country with warlike stores; and the Russians, smarting under their recent discomfi tures, have determined to put an end to this com merce. By the Blockade Law recognised by this country, they are warranted in having re course to such a measure. Unfortunately in the Speech from the Throne, at the close of the last Session, his Majesty was advised to say—" The determination of the Powers, parties to the Treaty of the 6th July, to effect the objects of that Treaty, remains unchanged. His Imperial Majesty has consented to waive the exercise, in the Mediterranean Sea, of any rights appertain ing to _his Imperial Majesty in the character of a belligerent Power , and to recal the separate in structions which had been given to the Commander of his naval forces in that sea, directing hostile operations against the OttominePorte. His 11Ia- • jesty will therefore continue to combin e his efforts with those of the King of France and - hi s Im perial Majesty, for the purpose of carrying into complete execution the stipulations of the Treaty of London." In Lord Aberdeen's speech of the 16th July, say s ;—" His Imperial Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia, for reasons of which we know nothing, thought it necessary, in support of his dignity, to declare war against the Porte. Now I must beg of Noble Lords to recollect in what a situation this circumstance placed the other parties to the treaty. It was the wish of all the parties—their expressed and declared wish—to execute the treaty without a war. One of the parties became a belligerent. Did not this at once alter the situation of' the other parties to the treaty ? In this fact, my Lords,- is to be found the cause of the delay that has taken place. This fact gave rise to hesi tation and to explanations which I am sure that , the Noble Lord himself will not think unreason able. If there had existed any disposition on the part of this country to evade the treaty, such a situation of affairs might have furnished them with a plausible ground for retiring from their engagemeitt. But, in order to show that it was their intention that this treaty should be fully executed, no time was lost in procuring those explanations which were necessary for the execu tion of the treaty in the spirit in which it had been framed. His Imperial Majesty at once divested himself of the character of a belligerent in the Mediterranean ; and I think, my Lords, no one will deny that the sincerity and the gene rosity the Emperor of Russia displayed in doing' this are entitled to the highest praise. But, until that was done, it was impossible that the two neutrals could co-operate with the bellige rent under the treaty. It is true that they might all have pursued the same end by different means; hut co-operation in such circumstances seemed absolutely impracticable." Here we are told, in language of the most positive import, that the condition of our co-operating with Russia and Franca, in executing the treaty of the 6th July, was his Imperial Majesty's divesting himself of the character of a belligerent in the Mediterra neat), and that without such divestment the co operation was impossible. The whole thing was clearly a subterfuge, because, if the carrying on war in the Mediterranean was objectionable, while we were carryin,7, the treaty of the 6th of July into execution, the carrying on war at all was equally objectionable ; for the ground of ob jection in both was the same—the impairing the means by which the Turks could combat Russia. The difference was merely in the degree of injury to Turkey, and not in the principle (for our inte rests as neutrals, trading with either of the belli gerents, were out of the question in a matter of blockade law) ; and we regard, therefore, the de claration, respecting the waiver of the right to attack Turkey in the Mediterranean, as a sort of attempt to have it thought that we were not duped by the Treaty, and that Russia would not for the world do anything unpalatable to us.— Who so generous as the Emperor of Russia ? It would have been much more becoming, and would have been equally politic, had we at once said, when Russia declared war against Turkey, " We have, it is true, no right to prevent your invasion of Turkey, but as our object was not to destroy or weaken Turkey, but to put an end to an interminable war in the Mediterranean; that, from the manner in which it was necessarily car ried on, gave third parties a right of interference for the protection due to their own subjects, we are bound to withdraw from an alliance, an ad herence to which would make us, in reality, par ticipatois in the war against our ancient ally. It is not for us to calculate whether the giving effect to the Treaty of the 6th of July, on the con dition of the waiver of the rights of a belli gerent on the part of Russia in the Mediter ranean, or the withdrawing from the Treaty, and allowing Russia to carry on the war as she pleases, would be most beneficial or most inju riousto Turkey. We have to consult our ONVII dignity and our own honour. What has been done under the Treaty at Navarin cannot be un done, though, had we been aware of a II ussian invasion, that Treaty never would have been en tered into ; we have been unwittingly led to pro ceed thus far, in the hope of being able to rescue a Christian people from destruction, and put an end to a war destructive of our commerce ; but the question assumes now a new com plexion, and to allow our fleets to remain one moment longer in the Mediterranean for any other object than the protection of British sub jects from piratical aggression, would be altoge ther unjustifiable." Such a straight-forward course was nut, however, the one which it was thought meet to pursue. It was deemed expe dient to make a boast of the great sacrifices to which we had brought Russia to submit, as a consideration for our aiding in the execution of the Treaty. We could not have allowed our fleet to co-operate with France and Russia on any other terms than a waiver of the rights of a belligerent ; not WC.---the thine was im possible. And How comes the 'blare' :—" His Majesty having declared to his Parliament that his Imperial Majesty had consented to waive the exercise in the Mediterranean Sea of any rights appertaining to his Imperial Majesty in the character of a belligerent Power,' Lord Aberdeen is desirous of making the above communication with the least possible delay, for the information of all whom it may concern ; and I am further directed by his Lordship to state, that, in the opinion of his Majesty's Government, such commercial enterprises of his Majesty's subjects as may have been already undertaken upon the faith of his Majesty's declaration in Parliament, are not liable to be affected by this blockade."— We who could not possibly co-operate with Russia and France in the Mediterranean, without the waiver—we who blazon this faith in a King's Speech to the world, when numberless com mercial speculations have been entered into on the faith of the assurance so solemnly made, now come forward and say, Russia, after having by her generosity induced us to do what it would have been impossible for us otherwise to do, is pleased to be so ungenerous as to withdraw her waiver. But then it is the opinion of his Majesty's Government that such commercial enterprises of his Majesty's subjects as may have beets already undertaken upon the faith of his Majesty's declaration are not liable to be affected by this blockade. But what has become of the generosity of his Imperial Ma jesty ? The generosity of his Imperial Majesty and the opinion of his Majesty's Ministers must, together, have been an admirable guarantee. — What if the generosity of his Imperial Majesty should not here second the opinion of his Ma jesty's Ministers ! Besides, most explicit of all publicists, how do you and his most generous Imperial Majesty limit • the commercial enter prises already undertaken ? The bombs, and guns, and shells, and powder already in the Alediterraneau, or shipped for the Mediter ranean, or ready to be shipped, or manu facturing ! It is but an opinion after all, and his Imperial Majesty may not be of the same opinion. Who is to indemnify his Ma jesty's subjects relying on the declaration, for their total or partial loss, for the voidance of bar gains, the frustrating the numberless arrangements made ill consequence ? We wish it to be un derstood, th a t we rema i n firm in the opinion that the Duke of Wellington has acted wisely' in not embarkin g the country in war, notwithstanding these affronts. We only wish he had not ex posed himself to them, by the wish to have it thought that w e cou ld play the safe game of at tending to our own insular policy, and at the sam e time influence all the Continental Powers. The two are incompatible. Russia knows that we are not in a situation to opp ose h er d es i gns ou without riski ng consequences which the molt at pres ent d urst not attempt.

We are glad to see that Mr. Hunt takes every public occasion, as a member of the Livery, of pressing upon the reluctant attention of the go verning powers of the Corporation of London the abuses of the Secondaries' Office as to the law of imprisonment for debt. Bad as that law is upon principle, it is inconceivably worse iu practice—and nowhere in England are the vie , tams of that law made to feel so much of the bit terness of oppression and grinding exaction as within the city of London, and under the juris diction of Sheriffs popularly elected. If the Sheriff's• of London and Middlesex were appoint ed by the Crown, we should be told that the abuse of their office was the consequence of the people not having a voice in their appointment, and that the selling of the place of Secondary was gross Ministerial corruption, and, as it is an @like " touching the administration of justice," ought to be made the subject of an impeachment, or at least of a criminal information in the nature of a quo warranto. But the Sheriff of Middlesex is not, like the Sheriff of Surrey or Kent, ap pointed by the Crown. The abuse of the Se condaries' Office, and the sale of situations in their nature judicial, have not grown out of what is called " Ministerial corruption." Ihe " civic patriots," the " liberal and e nlightened Corpo ration of London, have the sole management and controul of those things—they, and they alone, are answerable for the evils complained of, and certainly the shameful conversion of a judicial office into ten thousand pounds does not say much for the purity or virtue of a p o p u l ar Administration like that which is appointed to protect the " Chartered freedom of the city. But if the original abuse is shameful, how much more so the conduct of the Committee of the Common Council with respect to it ? That Committee, as Mr. Hunt states, came to a reso lution last summer to report on the evidence, and to report that the place ought not to be sold again ; yet in the teeth of this resolution the same Committee, or a snug coterie among them, in the name of the whole, have come to a reso lution recommending the Corporation to sell it again ! Here is civic purity ! Here is demo cratic virtue ! The Common Council have been protesters against the " monopoly of a Corn Bill ;'' they have been petitioners against the trade in black slaves ; but they are not ashamed, for the sake of bringing 10,0001. into the funds of the Corporation, for feasting and drinking purposes, to support a monopoly in illegal exac tions, and to perpetuate the miseries of tchitc slaves ! It appears also that, in the City, the Sheriffs' or rather the Secondaries' officers act, in cases of arrest, in direct violation of an Act of Parliament, which allows twenty-four hours to the debtor, before confinement, to go with the officer to his friends, to procure bail, or to the plaintiff, to try and arrange the business; but Mr. Hunt says the practice of the officer is to demand a fee, and if he does not get it, to take the debtor to a lock-up house immediately on the arrest. We wonder some of the persons who sufir from this exaction, or are dragged to prison before the twenty-four hours are expired, in consequence of not paying the illegal fee, do not bring actions against those officers. The first would have a good cause of action for mo ney had and received, the latter for the assault or false imprisonment. Such- actions would bring the petty tyrants to their senses.—Morning Herald. The formation of Brunswick Clubs proceeds rapidly both in England and Ireland. In the latter country, there is scarcely a district, or even a parish, in which such a loyal and patriotic as sociation has not been established. One good effect has already resulted from this Protestant organisation in Ireland. The traitors of the As sociation have taken the alarm. The Papist Leaders, laymen as well as priests, have begun to tremble. The men who but the other day boasted of the multitudes they would assemble on their slightest signal, and employed every excitement to stimulate the peasantry to gather together in tumultuous crowds, for the purpose of overawing the Government by this parade of physical force at their command, now practically confess themselves to be overawed. Perceiving themselves to be the weaker party, the coward hypocrites now affect an earnest solicitude for peace, and exhort the blind, and bigotted, and barbarous hordes under their controul, to skulk from the face of day. So far it is well. The altered tone of the Agitators attests the efficacy of the Protestant organization, and mum, convince all the world, that in energy, spirit, consciousness of right, and confidence in their own cause, the Catholics of Ireland are as much inferior to the Protestants, as the Roman Tiara is inferior in splendour and in power to the Crown of England. As might have been ex pected, however, the Catholic agitators and their abettors are endeavouring to make a merit of that new-born love of peace, which terror and the consciousness of weakness only have inspired, and to cast upon their Protestant opponents, by .whose formidable aspect they have been terrified into a momentary and hypocritical regard to the peace of their country, the reproach of inviting a sanguinary collision. This weak inven tion of the traitors can impose upon no one, while memory holds its seat. The man must be dipped, steeped, drowned hi the waters of Lethe, who can forget the boasts and threats of the Agitators, the Aggregate Meet ings, the Clare Election, the Catholic Rent—all several parts of a system intended, avowedly con trived, to intimate to the Protestant Government and the Protestant people of Ireland, that they had to make their choice between the alterna tives of unlimited concession to the Papists, or rebellion. This was the intimation given—stu diously and elaborately given—by the leaders of the Popish faction—given with all the distinct ness that was compatible with their immediate personal safety, and with so much distinctness that it could not be misunderstood. Upon this unequivocal intimation, a thousand times repeated, and in every possible form, corroborated too by every symptom of the times, by every passing event, the Protestants have at length begun to prepare themselves fk that alternative, which, when compelled to choose, they could not he sitate to prefer. They will defend the Consti tution handed down to them by their forefathers ; and if' the arduous and afflicting duty of quelling a Popish rebellion is to be an inseparable part of their task, as the Popish leaders have conti nually boasted and threatened that it must, for that fearful struggle also they are determined to be prepared. The Brunswick Clubs do not in vite rebellion, but they resolve that a rebellion, so often and so plainly threatened, shall not at last take them by surprise. Their object is purely de fensive. They will not surrender Ireland to the un mitigated dominion of Popery. They will not prostrate the British Constitution, with all the freedom it imparts, and all the happiness it is calculated to produce, at the foot of an idola trous altar. Sooner than this, they will encoun ter a Popish rebellion, and will crush it. But We may be assured that thc Brstish Govern ment will not, even in the event of the Papists receding from the threatening position they have dared to sssume, leave them in such a situation now as will enable them to re-occupy them at pleasure. It would be the height of injustice towards the loyal Protestants of Ireland to suf fer them to remain for ever subject to the injury and annoyance of having to buckle on and cast aside their armour from time to time, as discre tion or intemperance, as cowardice or insolence among their enemies, and the enemies of the Con stitution, may alternately prevail. And this monstrous injustice would be committed, if the slaves of the Popish priests were permitted to retain the right of voting for Members of Par liament, or if measures were not taken to sup press the Catholic Association, and to prevent for ever any similar confederacy from rearing its hideous head.---illorning, Post. The rumoured blockade of the Dardanelles, respecting which we no later than yesterday ex pressed our decided disbelief, has at length as sumed a tangible shape—in other words, it has been noted to the Committee of Lloyd's by Lord Dunglass, as a matter of which they ought to take notice. We say notified, because the letter of his Lordship is so obscurely worded that there is no possibility of knowing whether the notification implies a recognition of the blockade, or is merely a friendly warning to our shipowners and merchants. \I; e mu c h fear, however, that it is not only, a notifi cation, but a recognition, that the British Go vernment will no more think of acting in oppo sition to the blockade and protecting British ships from seizure, than it did in case of Oporto and Madeira. One Evening Cotemporary, in deed, assures us that " we have not consented to the blockade ;" and another informs us, that, according to the best of its information, " the most energetic measures will be resorted to by this country, unless the Russians give up the point ; that a strong remonstrance has been ad dressed to the Emperor Nicholas upon the sub ject, and that unless he is prepared to add England to the list of his enemies, he will waive at once the blockade of the Dardanelles." We should be glad to find that such was the case, and that the British Government had for once shewn a determination to resist the unprincipled designs of Russia ; but what is there beyond the assertions of our two cotemporaries to justify us in such belief ? In what other matter has the Government of the Duke of Wellington evinced a determination to maintain the honour of the country ? Has it not bent the knee to Don Miguel ? next to the King of France in the matter of the Moreau expedition ; and ought not the notification of the blockade of the Dardanelles by Russia, to be taken in consequence as synoni mous with a recognition of its legality ? There is one curious passage in Lord Dunglass's letter in allusion to the passage in the King's Speech, at the close of the Session of Parlia ment, from which, but for its junta-position with another, specifying the terms of the blockade, we should be apt to infer that the Duke of Wel lington had determined not to consent to it. The passage is, " that his Imperial Majesty had consented to waive the exercise in the Mediter ranean of any rights appertaining to his Impe rial Majesty in the character of a belligerent power." Now the right of blockade is one of the best known and most fully recognized rights appertaining to a belligerent power; and it ought, therefore, to be inferred that the Emperor of Rus sia having, after repeated remonstrances, consented to w aive this right, any infraction of the compact could only take place with the full and voluntary consent of those who received the pledge. That the British Government viewed the matter in this light there can be no doubt ; and as little that it has remonstrated against it ; but what is still unknown, and what is important to know, is the extent of the remonstrance—whether it has ended in a mere declaration of the incon sistency of his Imperial Majesty's conduct, or been accompanied with a threat to exact sum mary vengeance for any insult or obstruction that may be offered to the British flag. We have no means of clearing up this point, and we therefore leave it to be unravelled by the better judgment of our readers. There is one thing, however, which in this as in other parts of the conduct of Russia, since July, 1827, is abundantly manifest ; and that is her bad faith. We endeavoured to put this matter in a proper light yesterday ; and her intention to blockade the Dardanelles furnishes another example to the same effect. At the time that the second Russian fleet was passing through the English Channel, and obliged, notwithstand ing orders to the contrary, to repair to an Eng lish port to refit, we observed that unless his Imperial Majesty had other views than merely carrying the treaty of 6th July into effect, there was no occasion to reinforce the Mediterranean squadron ; and the justice of the observation is borne out by what is now known. The squa dron was intended to blockade the Dardanelles ! and yet, at the moment that preparations were making for this purpose, the Emperor was giving assurances that he had waived all rights apper taining to him in the character of a belligerent in the Mediterranean ! After this, what reliance is there to be placed on Russian promises ? Morning Advertiser. GERMAN PAPERS. SemLIN, SEPT. 13.—Reports are in circulation at 130- grade, that an insurrection has broken out in Thessaly, in the neighbourhood of Volo, in consequence of which the Pacha of Salonica and the Bey of Seres have ordered troops thither. - - VIENNA, Sam 19.—We learn that Count Lebezellem, lately Ambassador from the Austrian Court to the Emperor of Russia, is gone from Jechel to Genoa to receive her Ma jesty Queen Maria da Gloria, and to accompany her hither. It is said too, that he is commissioned to make arrangements with the Marquis de Rezende, respecting the numerous at tendants whom the Queen brings with her, as her Majesty is coming here fur her education. When the reviews are over the Archduchess Maria Louisa will leave this capital to return to her dominions. We hear that she will go by way of Turin to meet her niece, the young Queen of Portugal, at Genoa. His Majesty the Emperor has given orders for a grand review of all the troops in the camp to-day, to-morrow, and Monday; and on Tuesday all the regiments will begin their search to return to the garrisons which they usually occupy in time of peace. On the Rime day the Imperial Court and the Prussian Princes will return to this capital, and there will afterwards be reviews of our garrison. FRO3I THE ELSE, Sari. 111.—In proportion as the time approaches, when the decision of the Diet in the difference between Hanover and Brunswick is expected to be made known, so does the impatience of the public increase to know bow it will be carried into effect, especially, as is conjectured, should it be unfavourable to Brunswick ; for it is reported that the latter has resolved to repel even force by force any executory measures that may be at tempted. The Ducal troops are said to have unequivocally mani fested, on several occasions, the greatest enthusiasm in this respect. It is added, that supposing, the worst to 'hap pen, his Royal Highness has himself expressed his intention to resign in favour of his younger brother, rather than submit to the measures in question. 'HIGH TlDE.—Last evening the tide was higher in the river than we ever beheld it. The weather wa s stormy, the wind south westerly, .nd the barometer very low, 28 6. 6 inch.—Glasgow Courier. COURTSHIP.—A gentleman feeling a strong partiality for a young lady whose name was Noyes, was desirous, without the ceremony of a formal courtship, to ascertain her sentiments.—For this purpose, he said to her one day, with that kind of air and manner which means either jest or earnest, as you choose to take it—" if I were to ask you whether you are under matrimonial engage ments to any one, which part of your name (No-yes) might I take for an answer ?" " The first, said she in the same tone." " And were Ito ask if you were inclined to form such an engagement, should a person offer who loved you and was not indifferent to yourself, what part of your name might I then take as an answer ?" " the last." And if I tell you that I love you, and ask you to form such an en gagement with me, then what part of your name may I take ?" " Oh, then" replied the blushing girl, " t►ke the whole name, as in such a case I would cheeVally resign. it fur yours." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—FURTHER EXAMINATION ol' Aucorr. —Mrs. Abbott, being sufficiently recovered from her wounds to appear against her husband, she was brought to this office yesterday morning, to be examined by Sir P. LA UR lE. She is a pretty young woman, and gave her evidence very calMly, considering the circumstances in which she was placed. She stated that she was married to the pri soner, at St. Peter's, Worcester, about eight years ago. She could not speak much in his favour, and therefore did not wish to speak about his former conduct. She went to work at the public-house next door, with his permission. He conic to her the day before the transaction, and fetched her home ; they had a few words. He said she was sitting too near the waiter, and listening to his conversa tion. She denied it, and said that the waiter had been there that day only. He lay down on the bed in his clothes. He had often before falsely accused her of being intimate with other men. He then pretended to he very kind, and she went to sleep. lie awoke her about two o'clock in the morning, arid asked her whether she would take is. or Ss. a week, and keep the three children, which she said she would if he would give it her. He then struck her a violent blow on the side, saying, " take that." She called out " Murder !" on which he desired her to be silent, and said " God Almighty had prevented him from doing what he intended." lie came to her next day when she was at work next door, and said they would not take her at the workhouse, but wished them to live comfortably together. He then offered her some gin in a cup, but she thought it looked white and cloudy, and re fused to drink it. She did not like to sleep with him that night, and went into the next room ; but he knocked at the door, and told her to come in, and said she should not go to Perry's any more. She went into her room, and lay down in her clothes. He was very friendly for some time ; but then suddenly laid hold of her hand, and cut her quite across the throat with a knife. She got hold of the knife, and cut her hand, but could not get it out of his hand. It was quite dark. She screamed " Murder !" and he said " Hush !" She called to Mr. Pitts, and got out of the room, but could not tell what happened after wards. Sir P. LAURIE said, in looking at the motives for an act so monstrous and unusual, he could not help noticing, that whenever such an atrocious deed as that of Corder's was committed, it was followed by a number of horrible acts, such as that of the prisoner, and those with which the newspapers of that day teemed—he believed he had read of two or three murders, or attempts at murder, in them. The too great excitement of the mind respecting such affairs as Corder's, must have its influence. With respect to the prisoner, he should commit him for trial on Saturday next, and the evidence would be prepared in the meantime.- Under any circumstances, men could not be permitted to give vent to their passions. It must be put a stop to by every possible Means. The prisoner was then partly removed from the bar, but he stepped hack again to the front, and the Alderman asked him if he wished to say any thing. The prisoner could not open his lips, but the constable said he xvished to shake hands with his wife. She had just risen from the chair ; she looked upwards, and closed her eyes, and a deathly paleness came over her face. She seemed about to faint ; but she staggered across the fluor to him, and clasping her hand, he bowed down his head upon the bar to weep over it. She hung her head over his, and so they re mained in deep but silent anguish for a minute. He then slowly raised her bead, and they kissed each other. His head then drooped again upon the bar to hide Ids weeping, and she hung over him again most affectionately. So they remained silent and motionless for two or three minutes, till the Alderman ordered them to be separated. BOW-STREET.—TnE LATE AccinENT EXETER STILE ET.-Mr. Corder, the vestry•clerk of the parish of St. Paul's Covent-garden, waited upon Mr. Mucsitur,L, the sitting Magistrate, to inform him, that i❑ consequence of the precarious situation in which the adjoining houses stood, the parish bad made considerable stir about the mat ter. An annoyance Jury had condemned the houses, and therefore the slight boarding which was at first put up at the instance of Mr. HA 1,1,5, had been made complete, and every precaution take❑ to prevent any danger to thy public, previous to the houses being pulled down. Mr. AltNsitut.r. observed, that he sincerely rejoiced to hear that the parish had taken up the matter, as he hourly expected to hear of some accident. Mr. Corder replied, that they should have done it be fore, but it had taken some tune. The necessary notices which the law enforces on such occasions had, however, been put up, and nothing had bee❑ left to endanger the public. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-- George Curtis, a young man having the appearance of a groom or stable man, was charged with obtaining some saddlery and har ness under false pretences. It was proved, that on the evening of the 15th September, the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Gullock, a saddler, at 213, High Holborn ; and representing that he was groom to Mr. Smith, of No. 2, Raymond's-buildings, Gray's Inn, procured a set of harness worth 4/., which he said Mr. Smith was in want of until the following day. The prisoner not return ing on the following day, inquiries were made, and it was discovered that he had not bee❑ sent by Mr. Smith, and that he had pledged the harness with Mr. Howes, of High street, within an hour after he had obtained it. He called a second time at Mr. Hon•es's shop to procure a further advance upon the goods, and he was then taken into custody. It also appeared, that he had obtained saddlery to the amount of 61. from Mr. Turtle, of Queen-street, Holborn, but who declined to prosecute the prisoner on ac count of the expense of prosecuting. On the 13th of Sept. be obtained from Mr. Briggs, of Kingsgate-street, Holborn, saddlery to the amount of 41., under the pretence that he was sent by Mr. Leigh, of Verulam-buildings, whose servant he said he was, and who, be said, was an old cus tomer of Mr. Briggs's predecessor.—He was remanded. MARYLEBONE.—The mother of a lad of colour, and the secretary of the central Marylebone National School, were summoned before the sitting Magistrates, to spew cause why the indentures of apprenticeship between the lad and Mr. Cooper, a builder of Gloucester-place, New road, should not be cancelled. _ . Mr. Cooper stated, that some time ago he assisted a person named Goddard with money to embark in the trade of a pawnbroker, in the neighbourhood of the Borough. Mr. Goddard soon afterwards died, and Mr. Cooper placed the concern under the management of a relative, Richard Jones. Jones launched out into every kind of extravagance at his expense, by making free with the goods in the shop. Ile kept his lady, Miss Baxter, in Friar.street, and was tried at the Old Bailey, together with Baxter as an accomplice, fir the same, and they received sentence of transportation. While Jones was neglecting his duty in Friar-street, the lad was serving under hire as an apprentice, and it appeared that he was not only privy to the improper connection which Jones had formed with the female Baxter, but be even acted as a messenger between them, and visited them, and after they were apprehended some property belonging to Mr. Cooper was found in his box, which he endeavoured to account for by saying Jones had given it to him to take it to Miss Baxter, but he had not had an opportunity, and therefore it was in his possession. Mr. Cooper said he made all these circumstances known to Sir R. Birnie as soon as he discovered them ; but as the lad Smith was a material witness against Jones and Baxter, Sir Richard advised him not to bring them for ward until after their trial; this having taken place, he applied to the Magistrates of Union-hall, and they referred him to those of St. Marylebone, to which parish the, ap prentice belonged, and he hoped they would, unless suffi cient cause was shown to the contrary, cancel the inden tures, for had the lad Smith fulfilled the covenants of them, and made him acquainted with the conduct of Jones, it would have saved him a thousand pounds. Smith's mother and the secretary were very anxious that the indentures should be fulfilled, and under the advice of the Magistrates, who severely censured the lad, but made allowance for his youth, and the temptation he had been placed in, the case stands over for the parties to endeasaiur to get him another master. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon a rough, austere looking man, named Harland, was placed at the bar, and Mrs. Emma Sophia Jane Matilda Rose, of No. 14, Bry anstone-street, stood up to snake a charge against him. She stated, that on Wednesday the prisoner came to her house, and insisted on seeing all the ladies there, for be was sure his wife who ran away was among them. Mrs. but h e stood firmly to his Rose, at first considering the man Was mad, endeavoured of the Rev.

He came again yesterday, accompanied by Joseph Clifford, of No. 8, Croydon-street, a constable. Mrs. Rose thinks the pri soner had made the constable tipsy, to suit him fur his purpose, for the constable came in very abruptly, and said, " you have Susanna Harland in your house." T.
