CARROLL'S NEW SCHESI E. rrHOUGH this scheme has -been compere • tively . but a few hours before the Public, it has excited the deepest interest ever remembered in the history of Lotte ries. The number and magnitude of the great Prizes--the eco nomy of the adventure—the clearness and simplicity of the plan—have all combined to render it the favourite object of Public Patronage. The Scheme has been published at full length in every Paper, and may be obtained gratis at CAR ROLL'S, tbe.Contractor's, Offices, 19, CORNIIILL: 26, OXFORD-STREET ; 7, CHARING CROSS.' To those Persons who have nut already seen the Scheme, the Contractor submitithe following brief epitome of Its lead. ing features s—there are TWO - Prizes of . £30,000 TWO . Prizes of ___ £20,000 besides other Capitals and smaller Prizes, amounting in the whole to Two Hundred and Six Thousand Pounds Sterling Money, so divided us not to leave a single Number without a Benefit. _ _ _ TWO of . £20,000 And 1,000 other Prises ' are sure to be Drawn the First Day, 16th December, And may be obtained at a risk so unprecedentedly small as to excite the surprize of all who have seen the plan—for after taking the Chance of the First Day, £lO may be received back fin-every Ticket, and in proportion for Shares, whether the Number be drawn or undrawn. By this oa'er, the immense sum of Three Hundred and 'Twenty-four Thousand Pounds is ac.. tually added to the Prize Money of the First Day, as it must be clear, that every Purchaser has the option of making his Number an £lB Prize as soon as that Day's Drawing is over if he be successful, he may gain (and somebody must gain) 1.:20,000 or more—and if unsuccessful, he cannot lose more than LI 19s. by a Whole Ticket Half - a' 0 I Eighth • • sCO 111 0 Quarter - £1 13 6 Sixteenth - le 6 Being the difference between what a Ticket will cast, and What may be received back for it any time before the 20th of De. camber. CARROLL•B great Luck in Selling Thirty and Twenty Thousand Pound Prizes is well known ; but he abstains from particularizing them at this moment, as he is more anxious to press on the attention of Adventures what he hopes to do for thom in the coming Scheme, than what he has done for them in past Lotteries. the IRISH Pak:.

UN. SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1824. MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS. Yesterday Elizabeth Dickson, a little girl, about 12 or 13 years of age, was indicted for stealing a leaf of bread, value 4d., the property of George Schunter. George_Schumer stated that he was a baker, and kept a shop in Mansfield-place, Kentish-town. Ile discovered that he was occasionally robbed of bread, and suspecting a boy who was In his service, he discharged him. His losses, however, did not cease with the absence of the boy, and he determined to set about discovering the thief. For this purpose he bored a hole through his parlour-door at the back of the shop, through which he could see what , was going on in the shop without being seen himself. On the morning of the 23d of October, between 8 and 9 o'clock, he saw the prisoner' come into the shop, take up a 4d. loaf, and walk away with it. Ile followed and seized her, and she dropped the loaf from under her pinafore. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY—He knew the prisoner; she lived with her aunt, who was a lady of property, and re sided nearly opposite to his house ; he once served the prisoner's aunt with bread, but he discontinued to do so from his dwn wish, on account of the irregular manner in which payments were made; the prisoner ' s aunt never com pl a i ne d to bi ns o f the badness of his bread, nor did she ever accuse him of having taken part of a pudding which she bad,sent to him to be baked. lie did not state to a person named Hanson, that ho had any doubt with respect to the person who took the loaf'. Gilpin deposed, that between eight and nine o'clock on the morning of the 23d of October, he was passing the prose cutor's house, and saw the prisoner go into the shop. He shortly after bad occasion to turn back, when he saw the pri soner retiring from the shop, and the prosecutor following her. The prosecutor seized her, and a loaf tell front beneath her pinafore. A boy also stated, that he saw the prisoner enter the prosecu tor's shop. The prisoner being called on for her defence, handed to the Chairman a paper, in which she stated that the loaf was given to'her by a boy, a stranger to her, at her aunt's door, and that she had .never entered the prosecutor's shop. Mrs. Shout, the prisoner's aunt, stated, that the prisoner lived with her. Her conduct had always been correct, and she wanted for nothing. She once sent a rice-pudding to the pro secutor to be baked. When it came home, the pudding was not half so large as when it wen t . She iscontinued to deal with the prosecutor, because of the badness of his bread. honsdale, a hosier, in Regent-street, stated, that he had known the prisoner's aunt for the last 16 years ; she was a most respectable lady. The prisoner was well educated, and wanted for nething. Hanson, a builder, at Highgate, stated, that in the course of some conversation which he had with the prosecutor in Court yesterday, he (the prosecutor) said that h e " h a d hi s d ou b ts, but would not mention names, as it would make a great dis turbance." The witness supposed the prosecutor meant that he entertained doubts with respect to the person who took the loaf. The CH AMU :4, in addressing the Jury. observed that they were called upon to perform a very painful duty, but he trusted that they would perform it impartially. It would be wrong to suppose that a child brought up in the way in which the prisoner was described to have been reared, and living with haertctut as la pt, aalat , withdyof which great ie was ectabilitay:acrgoueld ; fo d commitnotrt was suek n awell known that the crime of shop-lifting was frequently committed by persons whose station in life was of the first respectability. 'I he character of the prosecutor was as much at stake as that of the prisoner, and the jury were bound to do justice between them.—The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The prosecutor said, that he had not prosecuted the prisoner from vindictive motives, anti begged to recommend her to mercy. The CHAIRMAN observed, that the prosecutor's conduct, after the manner in which he had been treated in his cross-exa mination, did him great credit. The best thing which could be done with the prisoner would be to place her under the care of her friends. 1:e then directed that the prisoner should be delivered to her aunt, on her entering into recogniaances of 201. to bring ber up for judgement when called for. John grenadier in the ith Fusileers, and dkx. angler Ramsay, a private in the Grenadier Guards, were in dicted for that they, ,together with another soldier not in cus tody, committed a riot and assaulted Vary Clark. Mary Clark, an elderly female, said--I keep a shop in Wych. street, and my daught e r i s a m illi ner there. On l'uesday the 26th of October, about seven o'clock in the evening, my daugh ter and I were sitting in our shop when the three soldiers passed down the street arm in arts making a great noise; they were all three drunk, an d one o f t h em broke a pane of glass in the shop window. I went after them, and asked them to pay for it, and one of them said with an oath, " We will pay you :" and he gave the a blow which stunned me, and I can remember no more. Cross.examined sol diers the prisoner Mitchell—l don't .know which of the three broke the *indow, but I am quite sure it was one of them. Sophia Clark said, I am the daughter of the last witness ; saw one of the soldiers break the window, and my mother went out after them, and one of them knocked her head against a wall, by which she was stunnsd ; I called fur help. These gentlemen came to our assistance, but they were knocked down by the soldiers, as was a police officer who also came. The pri. soner Ramsey made a blow at me, but the officer caught his arm. On the arrival of more officers the two prisoners were secured, but the third escaped. John ,pascal said, I was passing along the street at the time, and saw the prison Mitchell, who was decidedly the worst of the three, strike Mrs. Clark's head against the wall. I fetched the officer, and Mitchell knocked me down. The prisoners were at length secured and tak e n to B o w- street , b u t M r . H a ll s, the sitting Magistrate, remanded the prisoners till the next day on account of the state of Mrs. Clurk. The prisoner Mitchell said in his defence, that he had been drinking with his comrades ; that a window was broken, and that Mrs. Clark took him by the collar, and dragged him into her shop.—(The prisoner was a powerful man, nearly six fact high.) The prisoner Ramsay told a similar story, and called William Church, a fishmonger in Wych-street, who said -1 saw . Mrs. Clark collar the prisoner and heard her lay that she would not let him go till he paid for the window ; she called for assistance, but I would not render her any, be cause she and her daughter are a nuisance to the neighbours, and every body h a t es t h em. She dragged Mitchell into her shop. " Indeed, 84." sa id t h e witness " Mrs. Clark and her daufhter very ill-used the poor soldiers. , " —(A laugh.) the CIIA IJILMAN, after observing on the extreme absurdity of fm elderly woman dragging a grenadier into a shop, told the Jury that if they believed the witnesses for the prosecution, there could be no doubt that this was a most gross outrage.— Verdict—Guilty. The CHAIRMAN then sentenced Mitchell to be imprisoned at the tread-mill for two calendar months, and Ramsay for one calendar month. Ma.

MESSRS. MAR.SiI AND SON. In addition to the establishment in Berners. street, under the firm of Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, Fauntleroy, and Graham, Mr. Marsh some years ago, entered upon a specu lation with his son, Mr. Arthur Cuthbert Marsh, as Nary Agents in Scotland-yard. In consequence of the recent failure of the banking-house in Berners-street, the creditors of the Navy Agency establishment have become much alarmed for the safety of their funds vested in that concern, and at the invita tion of Mr. Seymour, Mr. A. C. Marsh's solicitor, and who, up to the failure of the banking-house, acted likewise as'solicitor for that firm, between thirty and forty of them met on Thurs day at one o'clock, at the British Coffee-house, in C.,ockspur street, for the purpose of examining into the state of affairs of the Navy Agency . establishment. On the motion of Mr. Sey mour, Str Benjamin Hallowell was called to the Chair. Mr, SE YMOU II said, that he held in his hand a ease . which had been submitted to the opinion of Counsel, but prerTus to reading which, he would briefly state the nature of the circurn. stances, which was, that the account standing at the banking. house in Berners-street, in the name of Mr. A. C. Marsh, was considerably overdrawn, and if for this overdrawing Mr. A. C. Marsh was liable, there could be no doubt that he was insolvent. It was the Interest of every one of the creditors of the Navy Agents to avoid this, and consequently, if any such claim was made by the assignees of the Bank in Berners-street, it was for them to resist it as far as in them lay. Having stated thus much of the outline of the business, he would now proceed to read the case which he held in his hand. During its perusal, Mr. Seymour stated, for the information of the company, that the arguments in the case were founded on facts, admitting as well by the Burners-street assignees as the creditors of the Navy Agents, and in reality those as s i g n ees h a d b een as anx i ous as themselves to obtain the opinion of Counsel on the point that they might know how to proceed. He mentioned tins to show that the opinion of Counsel had not been taken on an ex-parte statement. The case then stated, that in May, 1817, a partnership was formed for a term of 21 years between Mr. William Marsh the flatter, and Mr. Arthur Cuthbert Marsh the son, as navy agents. The articles of partnership were dated May 20, 1817; hut it was therein agreed that the son should not he considered as a partner till the sum of 44,0001. 3 per cents. were invested by him ; this sum had never been so investet4 and he had from that time to the present continued to act in the office on a salary of 8001. per annum, without having any share whatever of the profits occruing. Previous to this contract of partnership, Mr. W. Marsh had been carrying on the same business since the year 1816, and before his son's at all appearing in the concern, had overdrawn his account in Berners-street to the amount of 3,0001. At Berners-street it was perfectly understood that Mr. A. C. Marsh had no share in the profits, .although the account of the Navy Agency-house, at the Banking-house, was kept open in his name; but this was on a clear understanding that he was not to be in any way personally liable ; this understanding was first by parole, subsequently by letter. It was therefore presumed that all the partners of Berners-street would testify that they did not consider the son as personally responsible, however they might argue relative to the application of the assets of Messrs. Marsh and Son : but in reply to any such argument, Mr. A. C. Marsh contended, that the Assignees of that bankruptcy could only look to the surplus assets of that house, after the other creditors had been satisfied. The letter that announced that Mr. A. C. Marsh was not in part. nership in the managing-office, was written by the elder Mr. Marsh to his brother partners in Berners.street, after a dan. gerous illness. As the case siood at present, it appeared that there was a sum of 73,6051. due to the Berners-street house, from the the house in Scotland.yard, on the account en. titled the account of Mr. Arthur Cuthbert Marsh, for which indeed the former house held several valuable securities, but which, comparatively, would go but a small way towards liquidating that account. The surplus assets were calcu. laced to amount to 30,0001., and this was the only sum that could be pledged. for the original assets must not be otherwise reduced ; but if the assignees had really a right to claim on the whole assets, there would be no doubt that the Scotland-yard house would be ruined. To ascertain this point, an applica tion had been made not only to the assignees, but likewise to Mr. Fauntleroy—to Mr. Fauntleroy, because, at the tune of the application, that gentleman had not been included in the commission of einnkruptcy. The letter that had been address ed to those persons by Mr. A. C. Marsh, stated that the over. drawn account was solely his father's, and that he, in fuct, was merely acting as clerk. On this letter Mr. Fauntleroy in. dorsed a memorandum, timing, that lie would not consent to any proceeding against the ho use o f Marsh and Son, except by joining with them in appointing a receiver and manager. Mr. A. C. Marsh then contended that the house in Berners.street had no personal remedy for the cash due to them, and no claim on the property till the other creditors were paid. This case, Mr. Seymour stated, had been submitted to Mr. Bell, and with permission, he would read tit Counsel's an. swer to the case. It was as follows : " Mr. A. C. Marsh is liable at law to all the debts of the partnership in the Navy Agency business, and if he and the assignees cannot agree in the mode of getting in anti applying the effects of that co-partnership, a Court of Equity will ap. point a receiver to get in the same, and would apply them in payment of the joint creditors. " I have often read wiih astonishment the cases at law where one partner has been allowed to recover in his own moue, be cause his other partner was what is called a nominal partner E both k 1° only, and think, if ever t h e y came to b e exam i ne d by a mind like ijord t a t' t Ls,walwtoaknd .)equity,nowsthettrhieoyus conseq uences of such decisions, !edged as law. 11 But however a Court of Law may a d i e l a l i n w et i v th r b ou e c a h ek e n a o se w s: that will not prevent Mr. A. C. Marsh's right to have a re. u f ea or ti° pa n rt t n )f e m rsh or ip e ceiver appointed. Indeed, it seems more necessary that Equity should interfere for the protection of Mr. A.C. Marsh, if such is the law. 66 Whether the banking-hous can claim to share the joint partnership creditor, but only on the effects as a creditor o g f li t t l t i l e feaci p nt a oa r n( t lev e u r w s c h : i t: p i , aupi l i s )oin a ied q the mere respon.

Mr. Bell, which was decidedly in their favour, though still it could not be denied that many di ffi culti es presented themselves in the MC. It was certain that Mr. A. C. Marsh was not per. sonally liable, hut the house in Berners-street had all along looked to the assets, which assets had been deposited wirh them for security ; this was an untoward circumstance, and it was likewise a thing that would tell against them, the cheques of the navy agents on the house in Berners-street being always sign ed by Mr. A. C. Marsh, or by Mr. Stevens, his clerk, expres sing that he signed for M r . A. C. Marsh, though the real cause of this was to distinguish the account of the Navy Agency establishment from Mr. W. Marsh's private account. The assignees bad had the candour to state, that since Mr. Bell's answer they had resorted to several other opinions, and the majority of those opinions they had found to be discouraging; t tl im ie a r t e e tt ly l f r tt i c g t h l t 4, wa s not vented in them o t u h g at h t t i h te e r w e i s s p h o n o s f ibi t l b it e y assignets was to be al. to decide whether it was fit them to resign all claim s t o any but the surplus assets; this decision rested wit h th e creditors of the Berners-street house, and he certainly had some hopes that they might yield the point, though, doubtless, they had no inclination to put it desperately to a venture. At all events, as it was quite clear that the assignees Could not take the assets of the Scotland-yard house into theirpossession, and pay A. B. or C., he trusted at least that they would consent to the appoint ment of a receiver and manager, to keep possession till a was decided what the claims of the Berners-street house were. If Mr, A. C. Marsh had wished to have saved himself trouble, no. thing would have been so easy for him as to have got a corn. mission out against himself, and so have ended the matter ; but his real desire was to do justice to all the creditors, and it was for this purpose that he opposed the including the claims of the Berners-street house in the division of the original assets, A CREDITOR asked, if the opinion of the partners relative to the liability of Mr. A. C. Marsh had been given subsequent ly to the securities and other pledges being left at the Berners. street Bank ? Mr. moun in answer, stated, that this acknowledgment had been made su bsequent to every thing. For his own part, he could not see any ohiection to the appointment of a receiver; for even if a Court of law were to decide the great question against them, they would only be driven back to the point from winch they started, and would have the satisfaction of knowing Pfttcr, StrrNprxcr. that the funds had , been preserved whole, without any expellee being attached to such preservation. • On a question front another Creditor, Mr. SEYMOUR ob served that at all events' nothing could be done with the CreZi. tors. ttic other house for some time, as the nextineeting of the Commissioners was not to take place till the 16th of December. and it was not likely that there would be any locating prior to that, as there would be no new facts to put the creditors in possession of. An Arron.zrsr, who stated that he attended on the part of Mr. COmmiisioner hfiddletoh, asked where the funds had heen remaining► up to the present tune? Mr. SEYMOUR replied, that of COUrSO they had rested in the hands of Mr. A. C. Marsh. A CREDITOR observed, that it Was n very difficult question to understand how, if two persons curry on business together, and borrow a sum of 70,0001., that they were not mutually liable for the debt. Mr. SEYMOUR observed, that the whole case abounded with intricacies, but that in answer to the particular objection that had been started by the last speaker, he would refer him to N r, Bell's opinion. The most feasible plan, as it appeared to him, would be a letter oflicense. Mr. Seymour then, after inquir. ing if there were any further questions, that he could answer. proposed Mr. A. C. Marsh's, and his own r e ti r i ng , i n or d er that any dismission that might be started might be carried on the snore These gentlemen accordingly withdrew, after Mr. Seymour had submitted the following paper to the attention of the Meet. ing, as a statement of the affairs in Scotland.yard.

Marsh's absence, several of the creditors, among whom was the Mail-man, took an opportunity of ex pressing the high opinion they had of Mr. A. C. Marsh's ch.i . meter and integrity. The first proposition brought. before the Meeting was the period of time that should be allowed Mr. A. C. Marsh to en deavour to collect the debts of the firm. The letter of license, according to Mr. Seymour's hints, appeared to be universally adopted, and it was at length resolved that the said letter should extend in the first instance for twelve months • the ere. ditors retaining the power of subsequently prolonging die period, if necessary. It was then resolved that a receiver should be appointed on, the part of the creditors, and on the part of Mr. A. C. Marsh ; Mr. Marsh, of course, to appoint his own receiver, and the cre ditors theirs, and in case of any difficulty a committee of the creditors was agreed to be appointed, who might conveniently be called together to decide on such points.. In reference to the accounts of the debts and credit of the house, as initerted above, the solicitor Who attended on the part of Mr. Middleton stated, that be had just remarked to Mr. A. C. Marsh, that it would have been more satisfactory to the . Meeting if the items as well as the gross amount had bent stated. In reply Mr. Marsh observed, that though to any one individual, such as receiver or a manager, he should have no objection to explain the whole of the debts, yet it would bt: invidioui to lay a list of the debtors and t h e securities they had put in before such a numerous body of creditors; he had,. therefore, not brought that list with him. Mr. Marsh, how ever, had ' been good enough to state generally that the largest debt included in the 63,0001. was nearly 7,0001.; that there were about a score between 1,0001. and 3,0004 ; and that the average sum of the debts was 3001, The whole of the debt. were secured in one way or another; some of course less com plete than others; but many of them were of such a nature that the pressing fur immediate payment would be attended by total loss. On its being proposed that Ur. A. C. Marsh should himself be appointed receiver, it was alleged that this would open the road to many difficulties, and that if any chance Mr. Marsh should become a bankrupt, the whole of the sums would be seised upon under the commission. A Gentleman, whose name was understood to he Denmark, said that he had every reason to believe. that the large ,debt of , 7,0001. which had been mentioned, was amply secured, and that in general the debts were pretty safely distributed, After a few more remarks from some of the other 'erediton, the Meeting separated. • • TASSO. The following account of the last mornents'of this celebrated Poet, is extracted front the•recent, admirable translation of his great Work, bl WI FFIN, one of the Society of Friettils tivpartt!. cular, and a friend to all mankind : On the 10th of April, Torquato was seised with a violeit fever, which, although he was assisted by the best advice in Rome, so far increased, that on the seventh day the physician* ceased their attempts to oppose it, and Tasso, who from' die first had an idea that it would prove mortal, was informed his last hour was at hand.
