, TIIE I...oiv.tiO.Naoofts;vs. .O,IIIX Extracts from me Morning 'Papers Sept. 3, [MORNING clittoNtcht.] The news from Peru, as brought by a vessel from _Jamaica, and published itt the various rapers of yesterday, continues to excite conflict 111g opinions, notwithstanding it is evidently de void of even the slightest probability, not only in reference to th e d a t es , b u t also the accom panying:circumstances alluded t 0 ..: ... Under date at the 13th of May. from Truxillo, the • public are ,told„ " that the Royalist Chief Olaneta, after having..beaten General Carratafa, Who had followed him with au equal force, and taken hiM prisoner, had consented to serve tho patriotic cause,!' &c. :It is a fact we conceive undeniable, that Olaneta has. for some time commanded in Upper Peru,:having.his head-quarters usually in PotosL-- The distance from the latter place -to: Truxillo •is least 650 leagues, by the most direct road it is possible to travel, and Most as suredly this distance cannot be performed by a couriee, well mounted, in less' than 35 days, and more would be required, when it is considered . . that the whol e of the intervening country is in possession of an enemy. Granting, howeVer, only 3.5 days, this would bring the date of the event to about the 25th of March. The distanCe from Potosi to Buenos Ayres is travelled in I.days, and such an oc c u rrence as this would - uaturally be transmitted by express. Wo have advices from Buenos Ayres, under several dates in the month of May, and up to the Ist of June, and not a word is - said of this singular emit. The following extract we have copied from a highly respectable letter, and it explains the state of affairs in Upper Peru towards the middle of April o NTE %/Into, MAY 26.—La Serna, the Viceroy, through the media/not Valdes, has made an arrangement with Olitneta, and a coMplete understanding has been restored. Olaneta is totontimie Commander of the Provinces of the Desaguadero anti downwards, as you will sec from the subjoined Argot, of Buenos Ayres, N0..37. . Letters. from Potosi state, that ac cording to the last accounts,: akialt was near • Oruro, with 3,000 Infantry, and two Squadrons of cavalry, and that (Aiwa was preparing provisions and quarters for him in the above city. Their intention is to assemble-GAO men, and with them they int,2nd to,go'down to Salta Tucuman." The best of the joke is, that carratala is the Mi litary Governor of Arequipa, a distance of 240 league's': (torn Potosi ! Koch, a ridiculous story as this may suit the indians of Lower Peru but we • hope it will not add one to the number of victims, Who have already to deplore the effects of their .own credulity, or the dexterous manner in which they and the public have been deceived. • [BRITISH PRPIS.] The intelligence we give in another part of the paper respecting the Greeks, spews the progress that brave people are making in their deliverance from the Turkish yoke. in the Hatuburgh papers it Will be seen, life rumour is mentioned of a vie. tory on the Continent over the Mahometans, so decisive in its character. and consequences, as to terminate the sanguinary struggle. if, at, this moment, a successful blow were struck by du. Greeks on land, its effect would be of incalcu. lable 'importance to them. Already disiamsioas have sprung up among the Twits. Thu wavering allegiance of many a traitorous Podia', who is watching the decline of the Sublime . Porte, would at once be annihilated, and the extre. toities of the Ottoman empire would dismem ber themselies from the falling trunk, Some letters received yesterday from the Niediterra. t4art say, that the long-expected expedition from Egypt, with 18,000 regularly disciplined .troops on board, was to sail from Alexandria about the Initiate of . July.. We shall continue to doubt the sincerity of the Egyptian Viceroy until he bas taken front us all pretence for so doing.— . His interests, which he has not, in other respects, been slow in consulting, so clearly lead to an other course ► that we can hardly believe the empty honour of the Governorship of the, Merest, conferred on his son by the Grand Sultan, will iudute hint to mix himself in a contest with the Greeks, to whom he must secretly wish suc sess,, The Guerilla . warfare carried, on by the Greeks ii► Thessaly and the adjacent provinces, must seriously harass the Turks.— Tbe disaffected towns .are thereby excited to revolt, and the country scoured in every di rection., The ilusfrian ,Observer, which has kept silence as to the affairs of Greece as long as it conlil,ii at last compelled to admit, that the fol lowers of the Cross hive gained some advantages; but it endeavours Co show that they cannot be so considerable as they have been represented.— Would that the hostility of Aust►ia Was maul fested in no other shape than this! Here it is simply despicable. The public knowledge of Europe happily. does not yet depend nit the will and pleasure of a German Censor ; her can the rising independence of Greece be beate►l down by all' the suppressions - of truth, or assertions of falsehood, of-which its enemies may be guilty. EawitNlNa Pon./ We txtblished the other day an abstract of a lute Report on subjects of Irish Revenue, It is nut itt present our object to enlarge upon the points embraced in that Parliamentary Document, but to. Withdraw attention to what appears att juriouifdisCrepency between the unties' on glass in Greet Britaitrand Ireland. The manufacture itself is in every respect , deserving of encourage:- ment. . Glass is at once an article of luxury and utility, the materials of which abound in all parts ihn United Kingdom. It is, therefore, not ex traordinary, that it should have arrived, not With sttinclinit the heavy clogs, imposed by the Excise in this tountry, ;at considerable perfection. In irl , ifindi4oo . , where the duties are Much lower,' both the blowing and cutting of glass are branches of lhdtrsttry,, which 'have been zealously eulti vated,enrol. with great sareeas. Irish glass, how . ever, , onAmportation. into ii,:ugt,Sind, is: su bj ec t e d to imposts equal to those on British glass, and thus the consumption of the article is here restrained, while its production Oil Ithe other aide of the Chan nel is preportiOnably 'checked: 'Would it cot be ud visable.to thit .stale of, things ? ',aptl to o p en the English Mattket at , the sairre.thne to native enterprizu and Irish competition ? Why, for exampleohoulti wine bottles be,twke the. price ;here which they are in the.sister country ? We do not wish, nevertheleis, to, be dogmatical on the subject, but rather to solicit inquiry into the real state of the manufacture, with a view to the removal': of restrictions allowed' in other but r . milar cases to be generally detriMental; In line, we call upon .the parties most immediately con cerned to do their duty to themselves, to the public,, and • the Government. Can they doubt the liberality of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his enlightened Colleagues, where the in terests of commerce are involved, whatever pre sent and temporary_ sacrifice may be thus in curred by the revenue ? [THE TJMES.J Whatever may have been the real importance of the late affair at Tarifa, to which, as an ope ration against the a=xisting system, we ourselves continue to attach little or none, it is not altoge ther unfruitful of instruction as to the nature of that Power which now exercises the government of what was the Spanish Monarchy. In fact, it is no longer a Spanish Government at ell, no more than it was a French Government when Philip V. held only the ground that he encamped upon, or when Joseph and Jourdan were driven pell-mell from Vittoria across the Pyrenees. Spain is at this moment, howeer, a purely French pro vince. The whole of the operation against Tarifa was directed and performed by a French Officer, while a Spanish Captain. General look ed on. As a general rule, the Spaniards are forbid to approach the royal residences of the French-descended Ferdinand : passports under the seal of a French functionary have the privilege of constituting exceptions to this gracious andil politic rule. Spaniards nre not to be the exclu sive body-guard of the King. Spanish garrismis are turned out of every post of which the French military desire to possess themselves. It is a French military occupation from top to toe ; and, disguise it how they -will, Spain is a province of Louis XVIII. as much as either Normandy or Languedoc. Whether this renders France more formidable, is another question ; or whether En glish jealousy ought not rather to be allayed than excited by such a millstone hung about the neck of an avowed rival. It is like the wecession to a bankrupt estate, or lik e th e ch a i n ing of alive body to a carcass. A pretty end this for an ad venture commencing with rt cordon sunitaire ! [MORNING HERALD.] It appears that yesterday there was a Meeting of the Parishioners of St. Botolph, Aldgete, to take into consideration the propriety of a parish übscription, for the purpose of opposing the lay irnpropriator of . that pari s h fn hi s a t tempt to tax tvery house 2s. 9d. in the pound. it certainly does appear to be a heavy tax to pay on every house and shop ; on 1501. rental, this lax would amount•to 20/. 12s. 6d. which would probably be as much us is paid to the King. As to the right of the lay-impropriator to levy that tax, we ap. prebend there is not much doubt ; and that when the decision of the Lord Chancellor is obtained, such a right will be found to exist. Into the question of Tithes we do not outer, but some have asserted, that when the tenth was given to the Clergy, it was with these couditions—that one-third should be employed in keeping in re pair the churches, one-third in maintaining the poor, and the other third to belong to the incum bent for the time being. Whether those who have asserted that such was the original appor tioning of the tenth are correct, we know not, but if they are, a very different application is made of the tenth. Our opinion is, that lay im proprietors should be cautious lest they curry their right levy too far, for the whole thing, in the long run, might give way, as it did in France, and as It was in Spain till France interfered. Besides, lay impropriutors should reflect, that they are teaching every man, woman, and child, in the United Kingdom to read, and that they are at the saute time making them a present of the New Testament, in which Mr. Thomas Moore, of Anacreontic celebrity, says there is not one word respecting tithes ; but, on the contrary, in which New Testament directions are given to the Apostles, when they are sent forth to preach, not to take with them any scrip whatever. [NEW 'TIMES.) We observe and some of our cotemporaries are labouring to alarm their readers with apprehen sions of approaching wars and commotions. They remind us of the political Physician in The Bath Guide 6, What does Portugal mean? Is she going to stir up Convulsions and heats in the bowels of Europe? —The first grand invention was a letter from King Ferdinand to the Emperor Alexander, begging him just to send a few Cossacks into France to correct the liberal opinions of the Bourbons in that country, and to put an end to La Monarchie scion la Charle." This clumsy fiction was too gross to impose even upon Lord Wuithman ; it was scouted even in the Common Council, and that though it came recommended by the authority of The Times. Then follows the Duke de Itauzan's letter to M. Chasseriau, instructin►; him how to bamboozle the good people of Colombia. But every body naturally asked how the Duke de Haunt' or M. Chas seriau came to let The Morning Chronicle into this notable secret. Besides there was a little slip about writing by the Brazil packet, when no such packet ever existed. Oh! says The chronicle, we translated the word wrong it should not have been a packet, but a dispatch boat. Even this, however, does not solve the difficulty ; for the fact is, that the mode of communication by Brazil would be so much the reverse of dispatch, that no man in his senses would have recourse to it. These two unlucky- fabrications having failed, we come at last to a document that is really ge nuine—the Austrian Declaration addressed to the German States. Now here we have a fair right to be frightened ! Here is a Power (to use the expressive words of The Edinburgh Re view)," equally worthy of our curiosity and our fear." !!! And accordingly The Time?? and Chro dole vie *ids each other in painting this raw head and bloody bones in the most terrific Colours. As to the Edinburgh Writer, he is quite sublime. , Austria, be tells us, is " labouring systematically to roll buck the tide of civilization, and to bury alive (Heaven defend us !) the people whom it holds in bondage." Austria, " like an opaque body, intercepts .the light which is growing around it." This last simile may truly be said to be "dark with excess of -light," That Aus tria, which contains a tolerable number of square miles of land, should belike an opaque body, we can very easily comprehend ; but what is meant by " light growing around it," never having at tended any lecture on the growth of light, we cannot say. Moreover, what'harm the opaque body could. do to the said crop of light, sup posing that the former were placed in the very centre of ,the latter, we own we are not clear sighted enough to perceive. For our part, we draw consolation from the very idea which seems to have been intended to exercite oar terror.-- The light which is thus said to surround Austria, must certainly shine' on England. Austria, we are elsewhere told, " possesses no great men, no civilization, no internal commerce, no flourishing manufactures, no national wealth, no thinking and reflecting subjects"—" the revenue is small, the Government is poor, the population is estimated at about 28 millions, and the annual receipts amount to little more than 12 millions sterling." Of the Austrian Navy, no one has ever heard ; her foreign commerce is trilling, and Colonies she has none ; and yet this is the Power which we are to look at with fear ! We,. with a native population of twenty millions, and a dependent population of above eighty millions more, with the largest Revenue, the most unbounded Com merce, the bravest Soldiery, the finest Navy, the freest Government, the most active in dustry, the most enlightened population in' the worldwe forsooth are to be afraid, because the Emperor of Austria recommends to the other German States measures, which we are as little disposed to adopt, as he is able to force upon our adoption. No, no. Let us dismiss all this nonsensical talk about danger to be apprehended from Austria. Our great object is to maintain the Peace of Europe, that Pence which has en abled us to take such vast strides in wealth ,and substantial power.. If the Continental PoWers be in truth retrograding so fast, .as we are told they are, into the ignorance and weakness of despotism, every year of Peace wil l place us igher in the scale of comparison with them. PCrhaps, indeed, the writers in The Times, The Chronicle, and The Edinburgh Review, may not be very intimately acquainted with the se. crets of the Foreign Cabinets—perhaps other nations as well as ourselves may perceive the ad vantage of cultivating the arts of Peace on sound and rational principles. But , however this' may be, our path is plain. We have only to adhere to the principles we have ever maintained : and we need fear nothing from Powers , which are either disposed to lag behind, or which fancy they can outstrip us in the race of freedom. ExTRAORDINAItY CASCS OF If YDROPHOBIA.— ' d river of one of th e short stages, and had a favourite point er , w hi c h re gularly slept i n t h e sta bl e w it h Mr. It—, the proprietor his horses ; about three weeks since the dog was bitten by a rabid dog, and shortly after went mad and was killedi A few days after, a favourite stage-coach horse was taken ill ; the horse doctor was sent for, but could not account for his disorder; the animal kicked, plunged, beat himself about, and appeared quite mad. The doctor recommended a medicine made up as a ball, and Mr. IL undertook to administer it ; the horse was dread fully 'enraged when an iron instrument was put into his mouth to force it down, and while Mr. lt.'s hand was in, he bit the iron flat, and lacerated th e h an d dreadfully ; wan after he beat his own brains out in the stable ; a week after two more horses went mad, and both *ere shot; on Tuesday a fourth was taken so . bail that he was obliged to be left at the Four Swans, in Ilishopsgate-street. 111 r. It. h a d hi s hand cauterised, and . ' has •since arise been to the stmaide, and no ill consequences Are likely to f the accident. Stv I NALINtI.-09 Wenesday evening last, a person presented himself at the shop of 11Ir. Harris, a Chrono meter and watch-maker, No. 70, Cornhill, and describing him self as Sir Charles F a r r ingto n , B art., and that he resided at Steven's Hotel, in Bond-street, selected some articles In the shop, to the amount of OW. 16s. He p ro d uce d h is blank cheque book, paid for them with a cheque on Sir P. Pole, Bart. and evening the goods w ere sent for. On the following morning Co., who fie said wer e hi s b ankers, and Iti the course oi* the time cheque was presented for payment, but the ans wer was— " No effects." Surprised that such an answer should be given to on e o f Sir Charles Farrington's cheques, Mr. Har. ris repaired to Stevens's Hotel. He made inquiry if Sir Charles was within. The waiter readily replied, (Ayes, Sir, lie is up stairs;. but.what was their astonishment, when, on opening the door, they found the bird was flown, and that, too, without recollecting to pay for his two days' tavern expellee. Mr. Harris immediately went to the Marlborough -street Police office, when Valentine, an officer, was put in possession of the facts, with directions, if possible, to discover the offender.— .0 is described to be atiout five feet six inches in height, sal low complexion, thin and dressed in black. Seveiitl 'other tradesmen have called at the hotel since his departure. It is a singular circumstance, that when the swindler took up his quar ters at the hotel, he gave directions to the waiter to have his name inserted in the list of arrivals. Yesterday morning, at half-past six o'clock, a young man, suppesed to be one of the unfortunate youths who lost their lives by the. boat they were in being run foul of a few days back, on the river near Battersea, and concerning which an application was made by the disconsolate father of one of them to the Magistrates of Bow-street, was picked ,up . by the crew of the Prosperous bri g , off' Battle-bridge-itaws. DREA.DPUL FIRE AT PUTNEY.—On Tuesday ' night, about twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Putney were alarmed by the discovery that the factory of Mr. DA ',LETT, wax and tallow-chandler to his Majesty, was in flames. The 'parish ,en gines were instantly sent for, and were plentifully supplied with water from a large cistern in the adjoining premises of Mr. CUAPIKAN ; they were not, however, saffiCient to check the progress of the devouring element, whiCh, from the combos= tible nature of the stock on the premises, spread in a 'most alarming 'manner. Sharplathl, a fireman of the Guardian Office, was dispatched for the town engines, and, on their arrival, ,the firemen commenced Playing in the most active manner on the adjoini ng h ouses; but all attempts to save any part of 'M r D.'s fruitless. premises were altogeth er The firemen succeeded in removing several hogsheads of tallow frOm the prerniies ; but, not withstanding all their exertions, the whole was reduced to a heap of ruins by about five o'clOck in 'the morning. SALE or A WIFE.—On Saturday evening the helium') of Carlisle gave notice, that a lads would be sold at the hour of Seven o'clock on that even- ing, in consequenc e of which a great number of persona att en d e d. A t h a lf- past seven ,o ' clock Mr. Arinstrun g ; alias 4cArpen," 56 called from his haying o nce b een the parish clerk o f S t. Cuthbert (no.w an auctioneer), approached th e Cross preparatory to the, disgraceful act taking place, when the mob - g - rew outrageous, abd•h e was obliged to seek shelter iu bis own house. . • •. POL.fet INTELLIGENCg. • Mafesiosr,lrousE.--4 number of persons were summoned,: before:the LORD Maxon for tie nonpayment of the pavement rate. Some pleaded poverty, and obtained time; others cons. plained that the rate was .not properly appropriated, and: des tdaretlahat the pavement before their doore - was in a break-heck state; whilst others reprobated the .rate Merely as a rate, and objected to pay It because they considered themselves suffi ciently burdened with other rates. The LORD MAYOR observed, that the pavement rate was the last rate to which he should expect a shopkeeper , would object. was greatly to be lamented that the pavements generally throughout the City were in such a deplorable state ; the neglect of the inhabitants to the subject was highly injurious to their own interests; and it would soon be found, unless a more ge neral attention were paid t o t h e con di t i on of the streets, that the superior order and comfort of the public ways at the west end would in a great measure draw the shopkeepers in the City of their customers. He was glad to see that in some of the streets the Macadam system was going forward, and th a t . th e inhabitants took care to widen the pavements —an improve ment greatly wanted in many crowded thoroughfares. In one instance, that of Chatham-place, some respectable individu a ls considered their stre e t s as injured by the public improvement, and threatened opposition. With respect to that spot he had received a letter some days ago confirming the view which he had been led to take of it. The writer .alluded to a letter which had appeared on the subject iu the publi c P apers f rom M r. Bousfield. It stated as follows :—" A complete refutation of his arguments may be found in an accident which happened this morning--A gentleman's gig being dashed to pi eces , an d himself being dragged several. yards ; this horse ran away along Bridge-street, broke one of the rails where there is a quantity . of dirt deposited. If any one had been passing along the foot way at the time a fatal accident must hate happened. The horse fell down and was much injured. If your Lordihip will cause inquiry to be made of the street-keepers, and make' public the result, it would be a well-timed act of charity done to those who pass over the bridge, and I should thank the Chatham-pladeites themselves, who must have hearts as hard as the very stones if they can be silent witnesses of the num berless accidents which daily take place here." It was here observed that the foot of the bridge was a good place for attorneys and surgeons; the former to heal with a parchment, the other with a plaister. The Loan MAYOR said the veterinary surgeon must have jobs there. The defendants either paid the collectors or promised 'to pay them after the above hints. • BOW-STREET.—Mr. Millwood, a tradesman, residing at Hammersmith, appeared before Sir RICHARD PlinsuE, anti THOMAS HALLS, Esq., at the instance of the Parish Officers of that hamlet, for refusing to maintain his wife and three cliff dren, who have become chargable to the parish. , Mr. (farmer's Clerk attended on the part of Mr.. MillwOod. The Overseer stated that the wife and three young children were now in the work-house, and the Parish Officers wished to relieve them selves of the burthen. Mr. Millwood stated,.that the children were not his ; and lie never would pay for their support. Sir R. Fluor lE—What are the ages of the children ? Overseer—The eldest is not five years of age. Mr. Millwood :—Sir Richard Birnie, I have not come within arms' reach of my wife these six years. Between six :Ind seven years ago she ran me in debt, she sold my furniture and betli, and her score for gin was 201. at one place. I could nolon"er live with her, and agreed to allow her 12s. a week for her support. A deed of separation was drawn 'up, and a Mr. Clarke, who is a tradesman in the same parish, was appointed tru s t ee . I regularlyy paid the twelv e shillings till I found that m y w if e an d the Trust (Mr. Clarke) cohabiting to gether, and then I discontinued it. Mrs. MillwOod and Mr. Clarke now wish to make me support their children.—Mrs: Millwood, a female of no very prepossessing appearance, ex claimed in a loud tone of voice from the lower end of the office, " what you say is false, Millwood."—Sir Rn. BrinetE very politely asked the lady to step towards him, and she said, that after the separation, her husband refused to pay her the stipulated sum, and when she went to the Trust for it, he sent her to her husband,-and on applying to her husband, he sent her to the Trust ; and the result was, that she put all her trust in the Trust, having no one else. to look to for support.—Mr. Hanner's Clerk said, that Mr. Millwood had been summoned five times by the parish officers of Hammersmith, to different Police offices on this business. The lest time was at this office, and Mr. 111. then appealed against a conviction of the Magis trates for not maintaining his wife and these threethildren, end having entered into recognizance's to prosecute the appeal, he attended at the Middlesex Sessions, but the solicitor on the part of the parish did not appear, and Mr. Millwood withdrew hie recognizances, anti was discharged.—Mr. Millwood here cOmplained of the hardship of his case—he had now seven children, which were born in lawful wedlock, to keep, and he hoped the Magistrates would not issue another order to compel him to support the fruit of his wife's illicit amours. Mrs. Millwood here exclaimed, " You shall support them, and me too."—Sir R. BIRNIE : Stop, Madam, it appears that your husband has had no intercourse for six . years, these child ren cannot therefore be his, and I am of opinion they ought to be affiliated to their real father. Pray, Madam, who is the father of these three children ?—Mrs. Millwood : I do not be. lieve lam bound to say who is the father: and if so, I shall not: so. Sir R. Butrur here said, that he almost felt it to be his duty to commit her under the statute us lewd woman, for by her own confession she had brought three bastards upon the parish: Mrs. Millwood tossed up her head almost in defiance.—The Magistrates dismissed, the case, and said they thought the Mr. Clarke, Ifhe.were th e fath er , an d t h e y a d v i se d Mr . Overseers ought to oumpel Mrs. Millwood to s w ear t h e chil dren to Millwood to prevent his wife being further chargeable to the parish in Mitre, A 0.011-6TREET.—A young .man of rat h er re spectable types ranee II named James Lovell, was c h arge d w i th threatening l r. Brooks, the Anatomi st , an d w i t h cre ating disturbance about his house. Mr. B roo k s s t ated, that on some pr evious to occasion, he had been w a it e d on b y the pri ani a h soner, who charged him with having taken up the bodies of his uncle, father, and mother, who were depo s i te d i n A cton church-yard. He had repeatedly informed the prisoner that his surmises were grounleas; but last night, about 12 o'clock, the prisoner again called at his house, charged him with bay. ing stolen the bodies, and in the end th rea t ene d to shoot him.— He was persuaded the young man's mind was injured, .and he ordered him to be put outs id e t h e h ouse. There his conduct was as violent as inside. He threatened destruction to the Anatomy School, and, finally, Mr. Brooks was obliged to lodge hint in the watch-house. Sir GEORGE FA,R4ANT• &lied upon the prisoner for an ex planation of his conduct. He replied that his relative, Major Lovell, when he (lied, had left Win 10001., and he felt so much respect for his memory that he was apprehensive the body would be disturbed. • The MintsTaaTir inquired when his uncle died ? he re plied in 1809, and that his father and mother were also in terred in the same churchyard, the fortner eight years since, and the latter twelve... The Magistrate put several questions to him respecting the accusation he had made against Mr. Brooks. The young man said he had heard that Air. Brooks was in the habit of obtaining many dead bodies, and he felt persuaded that lie bud got his uncle, mother, and father ; and although lie admitted from the lapse of time they must be reduced to mere skeletons, yet he was satisfied that experiments could be made upon them. 'Sir G. FARRAWT endeavoured to convince the young man that lie had . got a most, ridiculous notion into his head, and th at the bodies, which must have been completely decayed, could be of no possible service to Mr. Brooks. The young man said hie iinpression rose froth a circumstance tressed state, Nttthat had a short t i me s i nce h appened to him, and which had in a p n i d ere sa , id w , h . o , r d em o, fact quit e unnerve d hi m.

Sir G. PARRANT consulted with Mr. Brooks on the subject; and we understand that an application will be made to the parish on his behalf. Garret( Pearce, an old man, residing in Carnaby-street, was charged with purchasing various articles front boys - and wo men, they having been stolen. The prisoner's mode of deal.. lug was discovered in the following manner s—A little boy, who was placed with s boot and shoe maker, had been dis. covered by his parents with some headier in his posseasion ; being interrogated, he admitted that he had stolen it, and sold it to the prisoner. Be was accordingly apprehended, and with the greatest effrontery he said that he had twenty or thirty cos. towers of a similar kind, but h ow they obtained the goods was to him of no importance. Unfortunately for the purpos e s of justice, the owners of what he hail in his possession could not be discovered, and he was discharged; Usetote.HaLL.—Yesterday Mr. ALLEN, the Magistrate, was occupied the greater part of the day investigating a charge against a man named Thomas Coombe:, who was taken into custody that morning on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of Thomas Morgan, the gardener of Mr. Good. hart, at Beckenham, in Kent, on the 16th of August. Th e prisoner is a stout man ' apparently about 45 years of age ; h e was dressed in an old light coat and canvas trowsers. o n hi s non were found a steel charger; containing slugs and shot toge ther with some gunpowder, and a gardener's k n if e , The tbnowing is the evidence at present against him ; Th o mas )look, of Orange-court, Kennington, stated that he is . „ 0 green-grocer., About the latter end of last May, Or the begin. ning ofJune, the prisoner cam e to hi s h ous e, an d asked him if ho would purchase two pine-apples. IVitnessreplied, that he would buy them if he had them at a fair price. Witness then asked him where he had brought them from when he replied, from Kent; but •expresslydeclined to state from what part, adding, that it was about seven miles from town. Witness then look ed at the pineapples, and asked the price, when the prisoner said he should have them both for 4s. Witness's wife, who was in the shop remarked that it would be dangerous to pia. chase them, as she thought the prisoner had stolen them. The witness then perceived that the prisoner trembled upon hearing what his wife had said, The prisoner immediately left the shop ; and it afterw ar ds occurre d to w i tness t h a t he should have arrested him : however„be went in quest of the prisoner, but could not find him. Ab out t h e 18 t h o f A u g us t the pri soner again came to his shop, and b roug h t a bout four pounds of black hot-house grap es , say i ng , t h at he wante d two s hillings a pound for the lot.
