SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. (FROM THE TIMES.) By the last arrival from Brazil we have received the fotowing very singular statement, which was certeht in the diplomatic circles at Rio, and to 'which we attach every credit. The Emperor, who till lately admitted the Austrian Ambassador, Baron de Marshal, to the greatest intimacy, has, of late, testitied to his Excellency that he; has had great reason to be highly displeased with his conduct. It seems that his Majesty ,was ire7ormed from Eu rope, that the frankness of his communications with the Baron was not met with corresponding gratitude and fidelity on the part of the latter. Nay, the Emperor's kindness was said to have been repaid svith sarcasms on his system ef government and personal conduct, in despatch es , the contents of which were not always limited to the party to whom they were addressed. Perhaps imprudence—per haps a studied design to lower a Constitutional Em peror—prevailed with the absolute Minister of an labsolute Sovereign, to disclose some ef his Envoy's railleries and criticisms. If report speaks true, the defamatory remarks of the Baron were brought to bear upon the Emperor's interests in an affair of great delicacy, where he did not expect that the effect of his portrait and the offer of his alliance would have been neutralized or opposed by the:inter ference of a professed friend. Be this as it may, the influence of the Cabinet of Vienna has much Wien at Rio since the Emperor was. apprised' of she feet% or reports alluded to. flit Majesty's feelings . being thus exasperated against Austria on one subject, his eyes have been more easily opened on the eonduct of the Austrian Cabi net on another—the encouragement, real or sup posed, given to the usurpation of Don Miguel. It is a well-known and Undeniable fact, that by the influence, and on the representations of the Aus trian Government, the Emperor of Brazil abdicated the crown of Portugal—that he appointed his bro ther to the Regenoy—and that he sent his daughter to Europe. flow has Austria fulfilled the engage ments in contemplation of which these measures were adopted ? The question needs no reply. Doti Miguel now wears the Crown of Portugal.gnaranteed to the_ Emperor's daughter, Donna Maria; , and, instead of the throne of her ancestors, this young Queen was apprised, on her arrival in Europe, that ; a lazaretto was preparing fur her at Genoa, where the Gibraltar plague would have afforded a pretext for secluding her from her faithful subjeets. It is 'reported, on good authority, that when our Government received intelligence of the 'intentions of General Maison to extend his operations beyond the Mores, with the declared object of inducing or compelling the Turks to evacuate the Athenian ter ritory, an immediate remonstrance was addressed to the French Cabinet against any such movement of. General Maisos, on thegronttel-nfsits O'Verstepping the limits which had been preseribed% tO - that officer by his own Court, in strict understanding and agreement with that of Great Britain. The French Cabinet, acting with perfect good faith, is said to have concurred at once in the justiee of the remonstrance conveyed to them by his Majesty's Ministers, and to hare sent immediate orders, by telegraph, to Toulon, ordering a ship to he sent out to Greece with instructions to the French Lieneral to 'desist from his enter prise. Fortneately, the English and French Ad mirals on that station had already formed a more correct idea of the purposes of the military expedi tion than that in which its leader was inclined to act,- and had, by their remonstrances, prevented the sail ing of the expedition ; otherwise the despatch might not have reached iu time. It is extremely satisfac tory to see this harmonious co:operation between the French Ministers and the British; and it is fur ther, a very gratifying circumstance, that the point on which their good understanding has displayed it self, should be one of such essential moment, at the existing crisis of the war between the Porte and Russia. Turkey may have had sufficient reasons assigned to her on the part of France, , Austria,.and England, for acquiescing in that Greek treaty, so far as the Morea was concerned; but in the event of General Maison and the Admirals pushing their in terference to the body of the continent, it is impos sible to feel assured that the Turks, under a sense of wounded honour and indignation, would not have thrown aside all regard to prudence, and met such an attack iiestanter, by declaring war against France sit least, if not against England also, her only pro teetors, and those of Europe, against the common enemy in the north: A declaration of war against the two allies at this moment, or against either of them, would fatally distract the attention of Turkey from the military efforts by which alone she can re pel her most pressing danger; and almost as . de cidedly embarrass the diplomatic influenee of the Powers of Europe, now about, we take for granted to exhibit itself in a course of negotiations for ter-. urinating the unhappy contest, or averting its possi ble results. The question, we mist nevertheless observe, relating to the future bottndaries of Greece, is not concluded or affected by the recent restraint imposed upon General Maison 's operations. IFROM THE MORNING CURONICLE.) A use in the Court of Exchequer, on Saturday, in which a new trial was moved for on this, among other grounds, that the Jury, disagreeing, came to - th e determinationof drawing lots for the verdict, forms a curious commentary on the law requiring unanimity in juries. It seems very hard on jurors that they should be obliged to perjure themselves in ail mses where opposite convictions are entertained, by one part 14 ; „ .v.; ng way to another, and that evi.• deuce should be received as to any of the various devices by which they determine among themselves which should give way. If • it be urged that..raw ing lots may have the effect - of making she minority give way to the majority, we answer, that the law considers it of no consequence whethe r the majority yield to the minority or the minority to th e ma j c , , o rity, otherwise it would have declared that *thii verdict should be determined by the nujority.—. It not unfrequently happens that au obstinate f e ll„ , who makes nothing of a long fast, will conque r the whole of his brother jurors, and conse quently force them to perjure themselves. The law, by requiring unanimity, thereby declares itself indifferent to ail but the fact of obtaining a verdict; and the quo modo, seeing that Convic tion is out of the question, seems really not neces sary in any case to be known. In Ireland we be lieve it was long the approved practice to produce unanimity by boxing; and an obstinate fellow, under such circumstances, soon found it convenient to give in. Drawing lots is not only an improvement upon boxing; but in.tho opinion of many, we sus pect, would be deemed an improvement if made uni versal in law-suits. The difference between the present mode of conducting a law suit and having recourse at once to lots, is, that in the ferrner,there is the same uneertainty as to result, With great de lay and a heavy expenditure superadded. At pro sent,it seems to be understood that there is in ge neral no law applicable to the case when the law seit is commenced, and that the object of the judi cial inquiry is to enable the:Judge to make the law at the expence of parties. Drawing lot* would at. once pet the belligerents out of pain. But because drawing lots might be advantageously resorted to in the very , . 00 , 54, i t does not follow, when the Jurors are enclosed, that they should not then hare recourse to it. At all events, ere should think it incumbent on those who obje ct to j uro rs who dis agree having recourse to the rneaiate, to point out another more rational. When convict:on menet be obtained, there must be some mode of discover ing who are to give way, and when the giving way is to take place. At a Dinner of the- Friends of the Clotidalkin Free School Charity, given on Monday last, Mr. O'Connell observed " The present degraded and fallen state of England, connceted with her domestic i►npolicy, afforded a striking mural and political lesson, and proved that the crimes of nations as well as individuals contain within their own na ture their own p e nishrnent.—(Cheers.)—After victories the most eplendi4--a career of acme .jostly considered glo rious both by sea and land, once palmy England is now the ' scoff and scorn of the nations of the - world, and insulted I by the most contemptible and tyrannical usurpers. Why is England feeble? Because she is unjust.—(Chvers.)— Her base streets, her crowded marts, her gorgeous luxury, her apparent power, are found but a hectic resembling health..--a seeming wealth, and a gambling industry.— (Ifear.)—This truth is demonstrated, that fleets, and ar inies, and colonies, and cornmertv, and all the external ap , . pirates of Governments, are find and unsubstantial, unless consolidated by the affections of an united, happy, and free people." Now we object to this, because the description is not in the least like the truth ; and such unmeasured exaggeration produces an effect the very opposite of what was intended. Mr. Sheil, in his speech at the dinner - given to him in the Metropolis, dealt also a great deal ton much in exaggeration when treating of this subject. England would un questionably be much more powerful than she is, were Iceland under the influence of a good govern ment and good laws, to have full scope for the de velopment of her capabilities, instead of 'wing a burden on the empire at large; bat though England is not so powerful as she might be, it is not the less true that she is still the most powerful country -in the world, without exception. There are many vices in the social system of England, the prospe rity of the country is infected by monopolies un worthy of the nation, and the lower orders are far from being in the condition in which we could wish them to be; but these defects do not render her " the scoff and scorn of the nations of the world;" nor is it true that she is insulted by any Govern ment. Mr. O'Connell says, England "is insulted by the most contemptible and tyrannical usurpers." The usurper who should think of insulting Eng land, would thereby certainly earn for himself the title of contemptible, because he would be thereby taking the most effectual means to ensure his own ruin. Thu Governments of Europe are no doubt aware that it is so much the interest of England to be at peace, that nothing but necessity will in duce her to have recourse to arms; but they know also, that an insult would be deemed such a neces sity; and the nation that is by position secure from attack, while in a very brief space it can, from its naval superiority, make itself felt in every part of the globe, can never be their " scoff and scorn." These, tirades may provoke a smile on this side of the water. A much more rational view of our situa tion is taken by the able author of the pamphlet on our relations with Russia :—" As to this country (ha says), I may assert, without fear of contradic tion, that since the period of the great territorial ac quisitions of Russia—since the Tnrks were tom pelled to cede Bessarabia and half of Moldavia — since the second partition of Poland anti conquest of Georgia, Great Britain has, notwithstanding the enormous dilapidation of capital occasioned by the intervening war of the French Revolution, made strides in wealth and power, the consequence of wealth previously, unexampled. What measure of progress shall we take ? The extension of surface under the plough, or the general improvement in the arts of tillage; the growth of our commerce on every sea and every part of the world, where commodities can be exchanged for commodities; the prodigious increase of the quantity of manufitctured produce and of mechanical inventions yearly acce lerating the ratio of that increase; the progress of building in every direction ; the constant. additions to enjoyment and convenience; former luxuries now become ordinary comforts, and the class. of those enjoying them increased beyond precedent. Our public establishments are nearly twice as large as they were before the period referred to, larger far than public safety or the service of the State de mands; yet they are supported with an effort bet little greater, and prove, by their very wasteful ness, the extent of resources which could be dis played in a case or real necessity." How any person ran proceed through England like Messrs. O'Con nell and Sheil, and see the abundance of all that constitutes wealth, the produce of this the most active and industrious of nations, and arrive at the conclusion that England is weak, is to us incom prettensible. (FROM THE NEWS.) THE BISHOPS; THE SUNDAY PAPERS; THE SUNDAY tiTAGE COACHES; AND SUNDAY STEAMERS. "'Two of a trade can never agreo."-Proverb. The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry's Charge to the Clergy of his Diocese, has just appeared on the counters of the booksellers within his Lordship's Ecclesiastical District. (Good news for the trunk makers, as Cohbett would call it !) This pious Prelate, as it is now understood, was the first, and in all probability will be the last,--Ilethedistical Bishop. 'He is said to be too strait-laced, even for the Saints of the Establishment. A " Charge" to the Clergy of a Diocese was formerly a sort of Re view of the sable corr of Gastronomes; the grind,. pal feature consisted of a good dinner; and of which the whole. Establishment, Clerical and Lay, from the grave Bishop to the gormandizing Churchwarden, liberally partook. Now-a-days, this charge, like the Charges of the Judges, and of the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, to the Grand and Petit-Grand Juries,—makes a sort of political public document; being a running fire upon men and principles which happen to vary from the selfishness of the ascendancy ereate. - es of the day. But our object at present is exclusively with the Charge of the chief Evangelical Bishop. His Lordship proceeds in the first instance to the increase of crime, and its causes ; and of course to make it eut that the increase of Churches will effect the decrease of crime. That there is nothing like leather, has been a proverb of long standing; arid men of all times seem. destined to illustrate the truth of it. The Bishop is no friend to Poachers! The offence of poaching prepares a regular school of offenders ; this fact his Lordship brolc- his shins upon; to have looked beyond the plunder of his pheasant covers into the Game Laws, as any part or portion of the operating causes of crime, was a stretch of thought not coming within the scope of a Bishop's Charge. His Lordship's next disco very is, the want of strictness in the heads of farni ' lies, over their servants and dependents; and the tu.Cury of the heads of households. Here is a fine Plea for religious tyranny ! What have the heads of ratnilies to do with coercing religious observances on the part of servants ? As far as regards morality, or the essence of it, common honesty in 'servants, the ; world is' eapa bl e of taking care of itself, without the lecturing of Bi s h ops t a r , :i k tl e t a a n deet parade go, o, of i r u e i i r g e i c o o n m , and we are sure that so far as In t h e e n servantsdeixnigmrience of t h that times ( which is the best schoolmaster at lust) would rather tend to caution us against such an outward garb of righteousness. All these causes, clubbed together, according to this mitred authority, add ~ double force'. to th e . v i ces springing from the " lowered price of spirits," and th e " pro f ana ti on of a u Sabbath, through Sunday Newspapers !" We take his Lordship to be a Gentleman,—as the Evangelists of old were, as far as the term implied ' a ehivulrous value of troth, and a decorous behaviour towards all wen. But what connection, in the name of all that is wonderful, can there be between the drunkenness resulting from cheap gin; and the ser vices of Sunday neicsivici lr Su ppo sin g the n fanation ascribed to the l atter to be real (ndrits we shall soon show that it is riot), the utter want of a ll connection remains the same. Dram drinkers are no exclusive readers of Sunday, or any other papers; except they may be found in the readers of the religious Sunday papers . (of which w e have a fair quantum.) But is the Bishop so ig norant iis not to ' know, that, taking the empire through, —ere there is one Sunday Paper read on the Sundayi there are MOM than ft hUhdred others read, which are printed on the Friday and Saturday? The veriest common; sense calculation of any man that" looks about h im,' can tell this, by an immediate appeal to fact. The London Sunday papers, beyond a certain and very contracted range of the Past within London, are not read at all on the Sunday ; but are Monday . , Tuesday, and even Wednesday papers; in the like manner asThursdays,Fridays, and Saturdays papers, I are read excl us i ve l y on th e S un day,as they may .hap- I pan to fall on their Post distances. Independent of this, nearly three fourths of the Country Papers are printed on the Saturday (that being the more genes rid market.day) and are principally read by country people on the Sunday: If his Lordship be bent on putting an end to the reading of newspapers on a Sunday, he must abolish all the Journals; and be ginning on those which are printed at the latter end Of the wOrking Week, he will have to tread back wards up to Sunday. If his Lordship does not know this, we recommend him to sit down on one of the forms of his Eccleshall Sunday School, and taking up a slate unit a map, put the matter at once to an arithmetical test. His Loidship is a decided opponent to travelling on a Sunday, either by Stage-coach or Steam. * The Sabbath-breaking boilers, that " Ask no aid of wind or tide;" are not responsible moral agents; and they would make a knotty point in a legal prosecution. What would his Lordship do in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean ; or hoer would his Lordship proceed by exclusive week day travelling, when on a trip to " either Ind ?" Could he command the currents, the tides, and the winds, to wait on his hours of worship ? Or where would his Lordship draw the line of distinction ? We should like to see one of the steam boilers brought before Sir Richard Birnie, for traversing the River Thames, or " following its worldly calling" with passengers, on the Lord's Day, contrary to the statute in that case made and pro vided. The action could only lie against the agent, as the ostensible offender. We may be told that the steersman at the helm would be liable, in the same way as . the coachman on the box. This we should deny ; the coachman (bites; there is an overt-act of constant labour; the steersman of the steamer, and the pilot of the merchantman, stand on the same ground ; they do not propel, nor rid in propelling. The ostensible acting agent is the only one cognizable by the statute. Let the Saints try the question, by summoning the weather-cock be fore the Quorum, for following its worldly calling on a windy Sabbath; it would open new channels of business to the world of law ; and we might possibly live to see an action of Fi Fa brought against a bottle roast-jack. The discovery of per petual motion wonld impugn the wisdom of Pro vidence; and eight day clocks would be put down by an Act of Parliament, as Deists or Atheists.— His Lordship proceeds to an eulogy on the Commissioners for building New Churches ; and commends the notable project of begging from door to door, in aid of their funds. But does not his Lordship know that this is an act of vagrancy : and is punishable' by the statute ? But let his Lordship reserve kis praises, until the fact is made known as to how . far this begging system has succeeded. We would bet his Lordship the long odds,—bet we beg his pardon; %ve would only wish to speak in the general figure of full confidence, in what we say ; when we affirm that these collections will be so thoroughly contemptible in amount, that the Com missioners will never ',lake them known; they will be ashamed to do it ; and they have taken a very proper way of informing themselves of the extent to which public feeling accompanies them in their pious spirit of taxation ; for holstering up a Church which prostrates every true Christian feeling, and righteous principle, in the scandalous appropriation of its enor mous revenues, among the tools of the "Powers that be ;" while it leaves all the operative agents of the Pastoral (Ace, ill clad and meanly paid; following at an humble distance, in worldly comforts and in personal respectability, the great mass of Dissenting Ministers! Every year will serve to show these rich pluralists; and fat, lazy, and sleek followers of the humble Saviour of men, that they have separated t hemselves from their flocks ; who have either found fresh shepherds, or acquired the more paramount wisdom of taking care of themselves. The new Act, instead of beim/ " a vehicle for all the pious charity of the country," as his Lordship holds it to be, will become a mark to point the infidel finger at, with one class of men; and a subject of scorn and deri sion for others. The Church would have done better without all this thick coat of Evangelism ; the plaster of a spurious cement on good stone. We should have had the advance of practical piety first; arid the new churches after. As a kind of coup de , grace to the bead roll of the Bishop's arguments, he foretells a great access of religious and moral agency, in the counteraction of vice and crime, florn the increase of Chin di Parsons, called forth by the appointments to the New Churches. As his Lord ship ought to know something of the most populous part of his Diocese, we would ask him as to what proportion the acting Ministers of the establishment will bear to the acting .Ministers of Dissenters, when the new structures are all completed? Will they rank as one to fifty? No. as Lordship knows it ; and he knows, that the longer they labour to over take the Dissenting interest, the more they are behind. The cause is obvious enough ; it stares every man in the face; and his Lordship would con fess it, as well as see it, were it not for the See of Lichfield and Coventry, which has optics of another description. In conclusion, we recommend his Lord ship to look to his own Sunday labours, and let those of the newspapers alone; or learn,. when dis posed for receiving the truth, that the operative profanation of the Sabbath, by the Press, rests chiefly with the mornisig pipers of Saint Monday; which are, sad must be, essentially prepared on the Sunday. The " increase of crime" is a subject little cognizable by the clergy; it rests with poli tical causes, which are out of their province; and taxing the people fur new churches, and fresh par sons, is not the happiest way of reducing those causes. Tuts KING.—The most contradictory reports re specting the state of his Majesty's health continue to be circulated—one party stating his perfect re covery—the other, that he will never live to occupy his splendid Castle of Windsor, as a resident. In the absence of all regular or official information we can only reason from analogy, and that reason lends us to the conclusion that his Majesty is much worse than is generally imagined. The party which states the King's perfect restoration to health has commit ted itself OH so many points connected with that subject, that it is hardly worthy of belief as to its future predictions. If however the King is as well as some of the Windsor letters represent him te be, why do not his Ministers advise him to come by easy journeys to town, if only..to bear the Recorder's report. To the poor wretches under sentence of death in Nevrgate—who, in bitter ex pectation, are dying daily a thousand deaths—this horrible delay is peculiarly distressing. Rather than keep them thus on the tenterhooks of despair, it would be humanity to admit the King's illness, by which these miserables would be able to live at least one day in some degree of certainty—whereas now every minute teems with some dreadful foretaste of what the next may bring forth. " These people, in the furtherance of their fanatic notions, would put a atop to all the business of the nation. It is well known that in the country, Sunday, is a general post day—on which letters are received and of neoeesity answered as on other days. All this, however, the Saints would, by law, prevent. In many provincial places they have succeeded in preventing the journeying of local coaches L—but we have never yet hearth of their tanning their heads against the mails on any other of the London long stages : though after all, these have no more law for travelling on the Sunday than the others have. INTERESTING CASs.—Four fishermen, from Pair Isle, three of whom have wives and families, were, on the 18th September, out at sea, pursuing their usual occu pation ; and being a considerable di dance from their Wand, a thick fog coming on, they lost sight of land. After row ing for along time, they heard the sound of a bell, and rowing in that direction, they fell in with, and were kindly taken on hoard of a Prussian barque, named the SUccess, from Liverpool.

MANSION-HOUSE Alderman GARRATT called at the Mansion-hcuse at the latter end of the week, in consequence of having seen in some of the newspapers a paragraph attributing to him the fault of encouraging the watch to ,phrshh a systeiri which it is well known those gentry derive considerable pfok frorn,—that of apprehending in the streets at night individuals who have committed no offence whatever against morals or the peace. He denied the irepstation, and referred to those who had observed for several years his public conduct, whether he had not upon all occasions endeavoured to protect the public from tiny abuse, either in the shape of extortion or under any other form. Upon the occasion referred to, he reprehended the watchman for the course pursued; but he found, upon looking at the Act of Parliament, that he had no power to inflict any punishment upon the person who had so misconducted himself. Mr. Hailer said, he recollected that Alderman Garrett, in the course of the examination into the case alluded to, referred to the act, in order to ascer tain whether he could not order the vratohman into the place of the accused, for the apparent outrage committed by him; but the act stated that watch ' men were to take up persons whom they saw at night under suspicious circumstances, and the de fendant certainly might be considered by the watch man as coming under that denomination, for he was carrying a large bundle at a very late hour. Mr. liobler further stated, that the more respectable the appearance of a person was who was seen under such circumstances, the more liable he was to sus picion, as a gentleman could scarcely be supposed likely to employ himself in carrying about a bundle of clothes, either by night or day. It is but justice to Alderman Garrett to say of him, that he has always investigated, with a greet deal of particularity, every case before him in which the liberty of the subject has been attempted to be invaded by the guardians of the night, and that his indignation at being supposed for a moment to be capable of encouraging so injurious and intolerable rt system as that which he so warmly condemned, does him great credit. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The Times of Friday last gave, under the head of this office, the first examination of a fetnale named Sarah Bell alias Cockrell, who was taken into cus tody the day before, ehaiged on suspicion of having been concerned in, or having connived at, a series of extensive robberies in the house of Lieutenant- General Lord Hartland, .No. 40, Gresvenor-place, during the absence of his Lordship and family in Ireland, since July last up to a few days ago, and during which time the prisoner was left in the sole care of the house, she having been introduced into Lord Hartland's family under the highest possible character for a servant from Pr. Davis, ose of the Canons of I•Vinslsor, in whose service she had lived for twenty-one years. On her examination the prisoner denied all knowledge of or participation in the robberies, but she admitted that she had °CCU sionally allowed her husband, and another man whoa' she named, to sleep in the house during the absence of the family; yet she could, she said, give no clue to tracing out where her husband or this other man were to be at present found, any further than that her husband was occasionally employed at some livery-stables about town. With this hint only, the officers employed upon the case, Clements and God dard, went to work, and after active exertion, they discovered that there was a man named John Bell employed at the livery-stables of Mr. Cross, of Whitcombe-street, postmaster to the King ; and thither they went to look after this person, hot learned that - he had gone as postillion down to Brighton, and was expected to return in a few hours. In the meantime, they inquired a description of the person they (the officers) were in search of, and found that it exactly answered to that which the female prisoner had given of her husband's per son, but the name differed in a degree, as she said that her husband's name was Andrew Bell, where as the man in Mr. Cross's Service went by the name of John Bell. The officers still continued to watch very closely the premises of Mr. Cross far this man's return, but they watched in vain, and by their account Mr. Cross showed every indisposition to facilitate their object, although he was qnite aware of the charge against the person for whom they sought, and told them they might look after the man and catch him how or where they could, without any assistance from him. On Sa turday, however, a man dressed as •a groom came into the office, inst before its close, and announced himself to Flank, the chief officer, as the husband of Sarah Bell, the female in custody, upon a charge of some robbery at Lord Hartland's house, of which he said he was sure she was quite innocent, indeed, as much so as himself; and as he understood that some persons belonging to this office had been inquiring after him at Mr. Cross's, in hie ,absence from town, he thought it the best way to come forward at once, and meet any thing that could be said against him, as he knew his own innocence. Plank said that he was quite right in coming forward, and at the same time handed him over into the custody of Clements and Goddard, who instantly took him to the con stables' room, and there searched him, but found nothing upon him of a suspicious nature, except some pawnbrokers' duplicates, which, however, turned out to be for some paltry articles that could never have belonged to Lord Hartland; bathe unhesi tatingly admitted that he had, with the concurence of his wife, slept several times at Lord Hartland's house, during the absence of the family, as did also, he said, the other man, named by his wife, but not yet in custody. Information of the prisoner having made his voluntary appearance at the office was im mediately sent to Lord Hartland, and in a few minutes he attended before Mr. Conant, the magistrate, when the prisoner was ordered to be broughtin. Lord Hart land, it should be mentioned, never had seen this man, nor was his Lordship at all aware that the female prisoner was married, as she came into the service of the family in the name of Sarah Cockrell, a single woman, the same name and character which she bore in the establishment of Dr. Davis ; nor, indeed, would she "have been received into his service on any account, his Lordship said ) had it been knosrn that she was a married woman ; and whet' she was left in charge of the house she was strictly enjoined net to suffer any visiter whatever to enter it daring the absence of the family, except her sister, the only person for whom she asked permission, and which was conceded to her. Thus ignorant as it was, known that Lord Hartland must have been of the man's person, it was observed with some degree of surprise, that on the prisoner being introduced, his Lordship suddenly startled, and involuntarily ejacu lated " That is the man." His. Lordship then handed to the Magistrate a letter, which his Lord ship had: received that morning, and whiCh stated that the writer having observed, by the report from the office in The Times newspaper of Friday, that his Lordship had been robbed of several sets of va luable books there described, the writer begged to inform his Lordship that he had got possession of many volumes of books of precisely a similar descrip tion, tinder circumstances which led the writer to believe that they were stolen property, end that if his Lordship would .favour the writer with a call, the books should be submitted to his Lordship's inspection. This lettel• having been privately pe rused by the Magistrate, he ordered the prisoner to be again taken out of the room, and Lord tiattland then stated, that in consequence of this letter he called that very morning upon the writer, tvho showed him several volumes of hooks, which his Lordship immediately recognized as some of those stolen from his library during his late absence, and of the possession of whioh the writer, his Lordship said, gave the following account :—About the 3d or 4th of- September last, the writer of the letter told his Lordship, a man came to his shop and of fered these books for sale; but, not considering from the general appearance and conversation of the man, that lie was a person likely to possess books of this. description belonging to himself, he questioned him rather closely about them, so much so, that the man quitted the shop very abruptly, saying,that he would in a few minutes bring a person in the neighbour hood to speak to his respectability, and leaving the books behind him ; but from that day to the preso - s the man never reterned. He (the writer of the let ter) told his Lordship, in a few days after this, see ing that the man did not return to claim the books, and then feeling quite convinced that they must have been stolen, he advertised the betas and the cit. Curnstances under which be became possessed of them, twice successively in the 'Times neves paper, but there was never any notice taken of the advertisement, nor did he (fh'e advertiser) ever after hear any thing on the subject, entid he saw the very books in his possession described in the . report from this office, ill the Times of Friday. The writer of the letter then, Lord Hartland said, gave his Lordship a most minute and accurate description of the person of the mad who had brought the books to the shop for sale,--a description so exact, that the instant his Lordship saw the prisoner introduced into the room, he was at once struck with conviction, although he had,never in, his life seen the mart before, that he was the person who had offered the books for sale, and he could not suppress an exclamation to that effect on the instant. Mr. CONANT said, that this was certainly rather an extraordinary and striking cirenm stance, but still descriptions as to persons and im pressions arising therefrom were often very errone ous, and not at all to be relied on. It would therefore be advisable, before proeeeding further, to send for the writer of the letter, and as the hottr of the day was now very late, approaching five o'clock, Cle ments the officer was instantly despatched, with directions to take a cabriolet and convey the writer of the letter to the office. During this interval, the prisoner, who was all the time in total ignorance of the damning proof against him that was about to burst forth, was again called in, and some questions put to him solely relating to the other men, who, both himself and his wife acknowledged, had fre quently slept also at Lord Hartland's house. He, however, studiously avoided giving any available information respecting this person further than that the latter had, to his knowledge, sold a great num ber of empty bottles, which he said were given to him by Sir James Graham, in whose service he had lived. Lord Hartland's butler, who was also in attend ance during the -examination, here obserred that amongst the property of which hie Lordship's house had been robbed, there was no less than 70 dozen of empty bottles carried off. The prisoner, on being asked where he bad been out of town these few days pet, said he was down in Essex. Goddard, the officer, said that Mr. Cross told hira it vas to Brighton the prisoner went. - The prisoner said that it was not to Brighton, but into Essex with a gentleman, a solicitor, and with whom he only returned that morning, and it was this solicitor that advised him to come to the office and give himself up, on hearing that the offi cers were in search of him, but told hint that he need not give any account of the other man, or say any thing respecting him, if questioned. Mr. CoNANT—Oh, then, this is the reason that you are so reluetant to tell us anything about the other man; and pray who is this solicitor that gave you this professional caution, to give yourself up to justice, but to say nothing that might implicate another ?---The prisoner hesitated for a considerable time, but at last, on being urged by the Magistrate to tell who this gentleman of the law was, said that it was a Mr. Burt, residing at No. 19, Carmarthen street, Fitzroy-square. Upon my word, said the Magistrate, I think Mr. Burt's advice has been rather of an extraordinary kind, and not very creditable to him. Clements had now returned, and entered the office, accompanied by Mr..Coxhead, a respectable bookseller; residing at No. 249, High Holborn, the writer of the letter to Lord Hartland., On entering the office, Mr. Coxhead produced stout a dozen volumes of Metastasis, bound in vel lum, Horue.'a works, and other books, which had been left with Kim in September last, as above stated. The prisoner, who at this time stood not at the har, but amongst a group of persons in the office as purposely designed, not to give any direct intimation of his identity to Mr. Coxhead, was observed to turn pale on the production of the books. Mr. Coxhead was now directed by the Magistrate to look round the office amongst the persons pre sent, and see if he could recognize the person who had brought these books to his shop for sale, and Mr. Coxhead, on looking for an instant, immediately pointed out the prisoner as the man. The prisoner positively denied that he was the person ; but Mr. Coxhead said, that he had not the slightest doubt of his identity, and that Mrs. Cox head had seen the person who left 'the, books as es he had, and conld.no doubt also speak distinctly upon the point. Lord Hartland said, that all the hooks now pro duced had been stolen from his library, and were his property. Metastasio he had purchased at Strasburg in 1797 ; and one of these volumes pro duced by Mr. Coxhead has on one of the pages of it at present some of Lady Hartland's writing. Tho prisoner was then remanded to a future day, and the magistrate spoke in warm and deserved terms of the very proper conduct of Mr. Coxhead, whose vigilance a nd praiseworthy caution, if fol lowed by tradesmen in general, would tend more to counteract the depredations of servants and others, than all the severity of the law. The two youths, George Traherne and John' Halls, in custody upon a charge of stealing five volumes of valuable books of travels from the shop of Mr. Hodgson, a bookseller in Marylebone.street, and offering them for pledge at the shop of Mr. Aldous, a pawnbroker in Berwick -street, Soho, who Very properly detained, both them and the books, and sent word to Mr. Hodgson, whole name was on the covers, of the circumstance, were brought up, and fully committed to Nevvgate for trial. These youths owe their ruin to the existence of those infamous houses, called " flash houses," that are in a degree tolerated and countenanced by the present police system. It was their: frequenting a house of this description, kept bq 'a man named Penninger, called the Maidenhead, in Berwick . - street, and there associating with thieves and pros titutes, that has brought theM to disgrace and punishment, and their friends to sorrow and shame. WORSHIP- STREET. On Saturday Reehord Cottle .and George Smith, bakers, were re-examined before Mr. BROUGHTON, charged with an outrage npon Mary Ann -Power, a young person of seventeen, is the service of an elderly lady named Smith, in Margaret-street, Hack ney4oad. From the evidence given, it appeared that .be twefn five and six o'clock on Saturday week the young woman was sent by her mistress to receive 6/. in the neighbourhood of Hexton, and shortly after her departure she .was overtaken on the road by the two prisoners. The prisoner Cottle serves her mis-. tress with bread, and is a' married man, with a family; and the young woman observing that she was going to a lonely place, asked him to accompany her ; and he promised her his protection, on condi tion of her first going with him into St. Luke's parish. The two prisoners and the complainant then went to a public-house and had some gin, after which she went and reoeived the 5/. in sovereigns, which she deposited in . her bosom. They after wards went to other'publio-honses, where the young woman was prevailed upon to take more gin, and at length became dreadfully intoxicated, in which state, between nine and ten at night, some of the Hackney watchmen, whom her oriel brought to her assist anrueenk,:oant:edmhpetn her upon to accomplish his brutal purpose.pon the ground in a lonely spot in the fields, and the prisoner Smith, who was also d The prisoner Cottle was: met, near the place, and when celled on to stop, took to his 'heels and fied, bat was pursued and a pprehended.
