and theie is, a domestic power regarded by all who bear the name of Bourbon less with simple terror than With disgust and horror —the power all free people. The real tenacity of the French Court upon this point arises from the dread that its ally of the Escurial may be acted upon in some remote degree by a respect for the opinions of the liberal. Spaniards, if the foreign bayonets Once disappear. It is, therefore, in this sense to protect the independence of Spain, that the Abmiteur is instructed_ to threaten the pro longed occupation, that the Sp - anish Bour bons and their monks may feel themselves in dependent of the people and their liberties — of justice, law, and shame. Had Mr. Canning lived a few months longer, we doubt whether the British Government would have heard such lan guage from such a quarter. It may therefore become the present Ministers to show, that where the interests of England are substantially concerned, she can vindicate them though she bas lost Mr. Canning. It is not going too far to affirm, that with the• independence of the House of Braganza or that of Bourbon, and the more, especial independence of the Sp apish. Bour bons on the French, therefore, with a large and controlling participation in the Government of 'the two kingdoms of the Peninsula by the people, the general ease and welfare of Great Britain are very sensibly involved. We have never been among those, therefore, who were for treating as matters of indifference to this country, the rela tions between the peninsular Governments to wards each other, or the influence of a foreign State upon either. Our colonial empire and manufacturing system intermix our politics, as they do our commerce, with those of all other inhabited .portions of the earth. We cannot, if we were ever so anxious for it, isolate ourselves without ceasing to have colonies, menu factures, and commerce, without ceasing to be a •maritime state. Our general as cendancy and political reputation have much retrograded within six months, as the cause of absclute power has, by the joint exertions of intrigue and audacity, been, on the face of things, advancing. Undoubtedly, we do npt s believe that the liberal spirit has declined in Spain, but the contrary ; and as little do we apprehend" that England could rail, by holding up her linger, to restore her once acknowledged ascendancy throughout the two adjacent monarchies ; but we cannot presume to anticipate the course to be adopted by the King's' Ministers, and would be the last to embarrass them. They are points be yond which the noblest feelings of a nation cannot be followed up by any practical poliey.— What those feelings are amongst ourselves, how ever, becomes every day more clear. The popu lar sentiment of compassion for the constitutional Spaniards bursts out in society, and latterly from the press, in renewed expressions of auger at the state of the Peninsula, and in wishes that Eng land could or would, with so much nerve as falls short of rashness, give countenance to her na tural friends, by just ceasing to countenance their tyrants. That an explosion is preparing, frequent intelligence from Spain seems to justify the ap prehension. It ought, at all events, not to take ,us unawares.—lba. it deem it not only quite conclusive upon the subject, but so recondite withal, as hitherto to have been inaccessible to tie knowledge of the Committee and all other previous enquirers.— Arithmetic is no doubt a very safe guide, in all cases to which it can properly be applied ; yet we cannot acknowledge its supremacy to the full extent which some oi its zealous votaries seem 'to require, or go so far with them as to admit that knowing the differ ence between six and one is all the qua lification required to the formation of a decided opinion upon a great and complicated ques tion of national policy. The Committee have proceeded upon the principle, that the redundancy of a people, in reference to the means of employ ment, and the moral degradation of a people, go hand in hand and augment each other perpetually and reciprocally ; and they have concluded that the vigour of this reciprocal action may be sen sibly abated, and its mischiefs in a great degree subdued, by the emigration of a part of the people,. in conjunction with other necessary measures. We do not say that this conclusion may not be impeached ; we only say that it is a conclusion 'altogether beyond the reach of the shallow arithmetic which has been directed against it. To understand the tendency of a project of this kind, there is nothing like 'attempting to trace it through its minute and circumstantial operations. Let us take then the case of a single Irish estate, with a tenantry *consisting of a family per acre, and vegetating, as such a tenantry generally is, in a state of misery, filth, famine, and desperation. The landlord is' desirous of clearing his estate of this wretched and unpro fitable population, but he is without the power. The claims of famine and desperation have super seded the laws of property. The tenants, not withstanding, are ready to embrace any offer which promises a favourable change in their condi tion. It will not, we presume, be contended, that this is an ideal picture, or denied • that the plan of the Committee affords the means by which at . least, in the cases of a few of the 'estates so cir cumstanced, this picture may be transformed into one of a happy,. moral, and contented tenantry, enjoying the ordinary comforts of life,' entertaining hopes of advancement for themselves and- their children,• interested in the welfare and amenable to the obligations of society. The change of course supposes, that the landlords will adopt all th e - necessar y means , whether by Pulling down cottages or otherwise, to prevent the recurrence of the evil upon.their estates. But will this change not operate extensively as an example ? Will it not familiarise the people on every side with a new view of society, open to them new inclinations and desires, implant in their minds new feelings of ambition, and fur nish them with new motives to prudence and respectability? That it will do all this in some -degree, we suppose no one will deny ; but to what degree, is a question which cannot be easily answered by arithmetic, and is alone of so much importance as to justify the trial. It is. obvious that it goes to the very root of .one of the main causes of an excessive increase of po pulation, viz. the state of degradation in which the _great body of the people now exist. But the project has a further tendency to improve the general character of the people (and as a neces sary consequence, to lessen the number of improvident marriages) by opening a new field of enterprise and of hope to their view. The candidates for permission and assist ance -to emigrate will far. . exceed the number of emigrants actually sent out. And it is impossible to imagine that a man, such as the peasant in - many parts of Ire land is described to be, can habitually elevate his thoughts to a stimulating and anxious enterprise of this nature, without obtaining and attesting by his conduct a new exaltation of character. Tken again the ' introduction of a new and in creasing population into our colonies must create a new and increasing demand for the products of British industry, and thus • furnish additional means of employment for the people left at home. It would be no extravagance to say, that if the Canadas were to be peopled suddenly fl•om any source wholly unconnected with British emigra tion, to a degree sufficient to ensure the cultiva tion of the whole of the fertile land of those pro vinces, the population of Great Britain and Ire land would at . once .cease to be redundant, in consequence of this enlargement of the market for their productions. The reasoners who- at tempt to invalidate the conclusions of the Com mittee, confine their attention entirely to the direct and immediate effects of such a system of emigration as it recommends, omitting all refe rence to collateral or more remote consequences ; although the latter will; we are fully convinced, be infinitely the more important of the two.— Morning Post. One of our contemporaries, in his remarks on the Revenue Account for the Quarter just end ed, expresses himself in the following terms : " It is not so favourable as we could have wished, nor does it come up to our expectation, when we consider the duty on corn for the quar ter amounted, we believe, to nearly half a million of money. On the Customs the increase ap pears to have been 335,0001., but the duty on corn being deducted, would either leave the Customs on au equality with the October Ac count of 1826 ; or less, if' half a million were the duty paid on Corn. The increase on the Revenue on the year has been 32.5,0001.; but, deduct from that inc rease th e d uty on Corn, antd, it will be found that there has been no increase on the year. The increase on the Quarter ap pears to be 600,000/..; but if half a million duty on Corn be to be deducted from such incre ase , then the 'increase .on the Quarter would b e 100,0001. Now, with respect to the first part of o t this t ed ohalf statement, millionh at the f moue ewe would on ey Corn h as a observe, that the amount of duty paid in London in the last Quarter, as nearly as it can be ascer tained, but little exceeds 230,0001., and judging from the proportionate stocks of Corn at the va rious outperts on the Ist July, the sum received at the whole of those places cannot be more than 150,0001., thus making the total amount about 380,000/. Why this writer should consider it necessary to deduct the money so received from the het.produce of the Revenue, as if it were not equally tvailable for tile purposes of Go vernment, we confess ourselves at a loss to ima gine ; but if such were his purpose, we should have thought that the least he could have done, would have been to have ascertained, in the first instance, that no duty ~ on Corn had been re ceived in 1826, otherwise it would seem some what idle to give a comparative statement of the two Quarters, and the two years, including the money received on Corn in the one case, and separating that amount from the accounts of the present year. We may mention, however, that in the year 1826 large quantities of Grain were admitted under two Orders in Council, and that the amount of the duty on such foreign corn during that year, according to the official re turns laid before 'Parliament, - amounted to a . , • SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. and there is, a domestic power regarded by all it deem it not only quite conclusive upon the fraction short of 443,0001., of which more than iin Angel-thort was dressed in a blue coat with black velvet !

By the regulations agreed upon and printed ifi Septem ber, 1826, it is required that the articles of a five years' apprenticeship (if in existence) to an IPothecary, and a certificate of the candidate's attained the age 'of 21' years, shall•be in variably produced, - as likewise a testimonial to his moral character ; that he shall possess a compe tent knowledge of Latin, as a test, we presume, of his having received a decentgeneral education; that he shall have attended two courses of lectures on anatomy and physiology, and two on the theory and practice of medicine ; one course on che mistry, one on materia medica,• and shall produce a certificate of having attended six months at least on the medical practice of some public hospital or infirmary, or nine months at a dispensary. As it was found that students under these regulations were in the habit of attending during the same season a greater variety of lec tures than could receive a due degree of separate attention, with a view to bring the whole of their studies within the letter of the above regulations, and to afford the nominal qualifications within aix months, being the shortest possible time, it was determined, in the course of the present year, by the Society, th a t th e candidates should not be. suffered to lump and bolt their studies in this manner, without the opportunity of digesting them, but that the two prescribed courses on the theory and practice of medicine should be at tended after those on the other branches of lamwleclge.! We certainly see great reason to encourage these progressive efforts to improve that extensive and important branch of practice which falls under the management of apotheca ries. Throughout the country parts of England three-fourths of the diseases which call for me dical treatment are entrusted to this class of the! • profession. In LOndon, also, the tradeSmen and middle classes are placed almost exclusively in their hands ; and instances have come wider our own knowledge of the destruction produced in families by the Murderous ignorance of men un- Aertaking to practise without even the first rudi ments of the science necessary to ascertain a dis ease, or to devise its remedy, which, with us at least, would alone be sufficient to establish the wisdom of every attempt on the part of the go neral body of apothecaries to impede the admis sion of incompetent persons into their body.--,-- Tim CS. The more that is disclosed to us' of the inter nal state of Spain, the more difficult does it ap pear to form any conjecture, that shall be at the same time definite and plausible, as to the course and consequences of the existing troubles. The Moniteur, indeed, tells us, that every thing has been foreseen and provided for, by the highest degree of wisdom and beneficence in some au gust quarter or another. Certainly, if that be the case, we never before saw beneficence ,and wisdom employed in such labours, or with such results, as have been exhibiting themselves since the year 1822 in that fair portion of the Bour bon territories. A nominal Government, with no solid reliance but on the bayonets of a fo reign army,-- 1 -a nominal King, with no substan tial power over those who make it the great article of their religion to be, and to punish others for not being, his abject slaves,—a factious tyranny at a loss for victims, making war on the authority in whose service it was first enlisted,— the Court, in a perpetual agony of terror, dele gating the office of merciless persecution to those fiver whose vengeance it can exercise no re straint,—every where impunity for atrocious crimes,--security to virtue, and respect for pro perty or person, no where,—the friends of free dom inactive, though watchful spectators of a bloody rebellion, carried on by the partisans, and justified on the principles, of absolute and blind obedience ;—such has been for many months the apparent condition of the great Spa nish Monarchy, While occupied by French troops, pacified by French beneficence, guided, govern ed, unproved, enlightened, and restored by the conjoint spirit, wisdom, and good faith of Charles X. and Ferdinand VII., each aid ed by his chosen councillors ! While, in the prosecution of a policy, or under the endurance of feelings, which it is not yet given to fo reigners entirely to appreciate, the so-called ab solute King of Spain coquets with the way ward Royalists of Catalonia, some occurrences are said to have arisen in a distant quarter of the Peninsula—even in the neighbourhood of Se ville—of a similar character with those in the North, and fomented, as it would appear, by the same incendiary and indefatigable priesthood. That such outbreaks of t he influence of conspi racy and confusion should betray themselves in every province of Spain, is a thing of course, in the total absence of every attri bute of a protecting authority ; but the surprising matter to most people is, that the power which came to tranquillize disturb ances and to re-establish order throughout the kingdom, should encourage the very evils which it professedly interfered to put down, by looking on while the servile part of Ferdinand's subjects are in open war against him. If there be no constitution a l spirit,--,and undoubtedly there are no movements indicative of its existence now to be observed in Spain,--why should the French troops remain a minute longer beyond the Pyrannees ? There are, however, strong grounds of conviction, that the actual quiet remarked among the Liberals of the country is more the result of organization and discipline, than of apathy or weakness. The chiefs of the Patriots, the flower of the Spaniards, are banished to fo reign ,realms, or concealed within their own. The threads of their correspondence v,ith the interior of Spain, though long and slender, have never yet been broken : the nation crouches, but its spring, if procrastinated, will be sure. The Moniteur informed us a_ few days ago, in a va grant article which wandered over the whole in habited world, that it is " still the duty of France to secure the independence of Spain," by the continuance of her military occupation. Now, for France and Spain, if we read the French and Spanish Bourbons, what means the " independence" of the latter ? Why, any man of plain,sense would say, their independence of t heir (*wan' at the Tuileries ; for by no other "er. l3 Pend the Spanish frontier, except the "° l - 1113( The if Paris, and their worthy half-succes sot, half predecessor Napoleon, has the inde pendence of the Cabinet of igadrid'iac en even so much as threat ene d.

Tt im ,m4,;be, Never was any statesman's fame so wrecked upon one spot as that of Mr. Canning has been at Lisbon. His celebrated Embassy to that place . inflicted a stain upon his character which no attempt has ever, to the best of our recollec tion, been made to eflace-; while the situation the character of the country is placed in by his hasty, - injudicious, and ill-starred expedition to the same place, exhibits at once one of the most serious and farcical exhibitions which assembled Europe ever beheld. We do not (especially now lie is no more) wish to impute to tke late Prime Minister any greater share in this most egregious political error than really belongs to him. It is too much, perhaps, to make every projector answerable for the success of his scheme, more especially when those to whom it is proposed have the means of examining and of adopting or rejecting it. But Mr. Canning, like some other projectors, had a winning way with him ; and his celebrated speech upon this occa sion, though too prurient to be allowed by its author to remain upon record in its original form, had such seductive blandishments about it, as appear to have laid prostrate, for the moment, the sober judgment of those whose cool deli beration was so ,much called for upon the Occa sion. Such has too often, before Mr. Canning's days, been the effect of eloquence—rendering it a moot point whether, laying aside its beauties, it is not rather a curse than a blessing to a coun try that its statesmen should possess it. The old story of the casus fcederis, and the demand of succour under the treaty, seem now to be almost nearly abandoned ; and the whole object and policy of the measure resolve themselves into what appeared to us to be always the case— viz., a romantic project of the late Minister to see a free Constitution established in Portugal, of which the seeds were scarcely planted, much less the roots grounded, or the branches in any degree thrown out. That this may have been an amiable weakness in Mr. Canning, we do not deny. That an Englishman, enjoying and loving freedom, should wish to see it flourish in other states, is natural enough ; but a British Minister should be made of " sterner stuff" than to allow his own abstract notions, or those even of his country, to get the better of that pru dence, and of those broad principles of public right, which teach nations to look at home, and not to interfere with the internal concerns of each other. Had these principles had their due weight with Mr. Canning, and had Parliament, instead of being led away at random by his seduc tive eloquence, looked a little more into causes and consequences, this wild project would never have been undertaken, and the too sanguine Mi nister would have been taught to reserve both his own eloquence and the resources of his country for occasions better adapted to their use. • But the evil is not confined to the impolicy, or the expellee attaching 'to it, but carries with it a more extensive mischief, in furnishing, as we al -1 ways said it would, an apology for the conti nuance of the French troops in Spain.—Morn ing Herald. Two new Parliamentary Reports have just I been i s s ue d on the important subject of educa- ! tion in Ireland.' They form •the Eighth and the Ninth of the Commissioners of Irish Education Inquiry. The Eighth is entirely confined to the state of the Roman Catholic College at Maynooth, and therefore presents more of a local than of a general interest. The Ninth, the first part of which will be found this day in our Paper, details the efforts made by the Com missioners to carry into effect the recommenda tion of the Irish Government, and to submit to the test of actual experiment the plan which they had suggested in their first Report. This plan was to establish a system of education, under which c hild ren might imbibe similar ideas, and forth congenial habits, and from which suspicion should be banished and the causes of distrust and jealousy removed. The object, it will be seen, was one of the highest promise to the fu ture peace of Ireland ; it is, therefore, with much regret; that we have to record its failure. he Commissioners retain their opinion of its importance—they still think, that for the chil dren of the lower classes a system of separate education would be pregnant with evils, and that - one combining religious with literary instruction . would be the most effective and beneficial ; but they have met with 'difficulties which have not only prevented them from establishing schools, in which the. experiment might be fully tried, but have induced them to. desist altogether from any further proceeding in that undertaking." This resolution, however, is to be lamented, as, although their efforts at the time had failed, they seem still to consider, in another part of their Report, that the object may, to a limited extent, be effected." if this Was the case, ve do not a s l e xl e m N i v o h n y ed t . he A a l t l te t m he p y t s w h eT u e ld req h u av ir e e ' d b t e o e totally do ‘vas t o make an " e t x tu p hre e ei r ,r i ri m e plan, and ha a ve Lex n p a er , i , tr l i n r i ea i l t iz s a v t i e o r t y l o n t or, in effect, that which they admit to be possible. They express a hope that the information which they have collected may lead hereafter to more satisfactory. results, and we are; inclined to go beyond a mere hope. We arc even disposed to look with something like confidence to future success. Had all the arrangements which they had proposed, and the regulations which they had prepared, for carrying their plan into effect, been agreed upon or adopted by the Board, the result might have been different. Had failure then ensued it might rightly have been considered final. But those regulations, deemed necessary by their framers, have not been tried.- Others still wiser and more effective may also be sug gested, and the experiment abandoned in this instance, inly be renewed with all the advantages which Previous failure never fails to produce when it occurs before every possibility 'of attaining suc cess has been exhausted.—lbid. Mr. Thcophilus Peace, assistant apothecary in the Infir mary; was sent for about four o'clock the saute afternoon, to examine Mr. Greenwell's cook at the Court-house. He found that she had been just delivered ; and she told him, that as she Ni'ZIS making an effort to call for aSsistance, the child was born, and thinking it dead, she placed it upon the leads, intending to take it in again. The girl made the same excuse before Mr. HositiNs. She said, when the child - was burn, it did not either cry or move; and Mr. Hoskins considering her story probable, dismissed the charge. LAMBETH-STREEt—A divine Qf the Church of England, residing in Mile-end, whose name we forbear giving, not from any delicacy towards him, but from a respect for the feelings of his relatives, and the profession 9f which he is so disreputable a member, was brought up from Whitechapel watchhouse, in custody of Geal, a street keeper, charged with hiving been drunk and disorderly, ,and maliciously broken a table lamp belonging to the Rev. Mr. Balantine, the house-governor of the London Hospital. A footman of Mr. Balantine's stated, that as he was coming along the Whitechapel-road, with a lamp belong ing to his master, Which be was going to get exchanged, he was met by the Rev. defendant, near Whitechapel church, • who took him up in his arms and dashed him several times against the iron railings, by which the lamp Was broke ; he, (witness,) in consequence, followed him as far as the Black Dog, before he could meet an officer, but he there meeting Geal the street-keeper, gave the defendant into charge.

With respect to the present charge, he had used no violence. He met two little girls near a court, and was speaking to them and commi serating their forlorn condition, and this and no other offence. had he committed. Tha Magistrate regretted that he should see a person' of so sacred a profession in so disgraceful a situation. The wilful damage had been distinctly sworn to, and unless he instantly reimbursed the footman, he would commit him. He most richly deserved it, and were it not for the deference he paid to the clerical character, he would have unhe sitatingly sent him to the tread-mill. • Defendant.—lf they come home with me, I can pay it. This was acceded to, and after, with some difficulty, having preserved his equilibrium, and staggered to his re sidence, this ornament to the church paid the required sum. NEWCASTLE (NEW SOUTH WALES.) (EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED MAY 28, 1827.) This is the country where an honest, industrious man, cannot fail to do well; the climate, one of the finest yet known, and the soil producing not only the necessaries, but luxuries of life. We had a most abundant wheat crop this season; it sells at four shillings per bushel, or thirty-two shillings per quarter, in this little town. Butter, you will be sur prisJd to hear, is from 2s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. per pound, notwithstanding some of our farmers possess from 1,000 to 5,000 head of cattle. When once settled here, on a spot of ground where you can rear poultry, pigs, and keep as many cat* as you like, at little or no expence, what is to hinder an industrious man from doing well, and liv ing comfortably ? But it happens here, as in all other Countries where a living can be procured at an easy rate, that the inhabitants become indolent. I am certain that if the inhabitants would turn their attention to the making of butter and cheese, suffi cient to supply our markets at a cheap rate, they would ultimately realise greater profits, as the con sumption, which is now partial, would become ge neral. Indeed, they could export these articles, with considerable profit, to India, Cape of Good Hope, &c. It gives me pleasure to inform you, that the use of silk is certain of increasing amongst us, and that it is next to an impossibility that it shoul d not be come the winter wear of the - gen teel classes in this colony.

But 600,000, the encrease of three years, and 95,000, are not equal numbers—ergo, the proposal of the Com mittee, as a means of remedying or reducing the evils of a redundant population, is futile and ri 4iculous. This is the naked argument, stripped of all the ingenious rhetoric by which it has been illustrated or encumbered ; and it is put forth over and over again, in a tone of peremptory decision, which implies that those who resort to, +DALKEI The revenue of the colony amounted last year to the clear sum of 6.5,000/., being little short of the whole amount of taxation in the whole of British America in the year 1777, when the various Govern ments and States by which it was contributed com prised a population of 3,000,000 of souls. 80 Unsold -20 Grey: 21. 17s. 8d TI!

BOW-STREET.—The -readers of the Times will re member that we, last week, published a letter from Mr. Simmons, the proprietor of the hotel at Calais, stating that a woman had arrived at his house having in her charge an interesting little girl about three yeats old. The child, it • was stated, seemed very much distressed, and. repeatedly called for her mama. This circumstance, with 'others of an equally suspicious nature, raised the belief that the child had been stolen from its parents in this country, and under this imp - tession the woman and child were detained at Calais until an inquiry should be set on foot to ascertain whether the account given by the woman was true or false. For this purpose, besides the communication addressed to this journal, an application, by letter, was made to the Ma gistrates of Bow-street, requesting their interference to dis cover the parents of the child, and one of the principal officers was accordingly directed to make every necessary inquiry. The name of the child and the address of her supposed parents having been mentioned in Mr. Simmons' communication, the officer proceeded to Chelsea, and hav ing there set an inquiry tut foot, he ascertained that the account given by the woman at Calais, of the child having been intrusted to her care by the mother, for the purpose, of conveying her to a religious seminary in France, was cor rect. The officer then proceeded to the residence of the mother, Mrs. C., and after some difficulty, he re ceived frem that lady a full confirmation of this statement. Mrs. C. was den gibed by the officer as a person of very lady-like appearance. She seemed considerably affected , when speaking of her child._. It appears, that she represents herself the wife of a British officer, who for several years has been residing at Calcutta. It is said, however, that she is in the habit of receiving the visits of gentlemen, and it is supposed that the child in question is not her legitimate oiTspring. About a fortnight ago, after a long: interview with a gentleman at her lodg ings, imChelsea, Mrs. C., accompanied by the woman and the child, proceeded in a coach to the, Tower, where they remained that night, and the nest morning, at an early hour, the woman and her little charge, after an affecting farewell between the latter and her mother, were put on board the Calais steam-packet off the Tower-stairs, and immediately set sail for France. Thus, although the affair is still involved in some mystery, it is satisfactorily ascer tained, that the suspicions originally entertained were not correctly founded, and a communication to this effect was iurniediately forwarded to Calais by the MagistrAes of this office, in order that the woman may no longer be detained from proceeding to, the convent appointed to receive the child. Mr. Thomas, the publisher, of York-street, Covent-. garden, one of the newly elected constables of that parish, presented a petition to the magistrates of this office on Saturday, signed by a number of respectable persons who live in the neighbourhood, praying that an additional num ber of officers might be placed round the entrance to Drury lane and Covent-garden Theatres, for the purpose of pre ventilig the many acts of robbery. that took place there while the public were struggling for admission. Mr. Thomas added, ;that on Friday night there were at least 100 thieves and low prctititutes at the pit-entrance of Drury-lane Theatre, and it was totally impossible that the two officers then on duty (Bond - , jun. and Nettleton) could sufficiently protect the public. Mr. HALLS should consult his brother magistrates on the subject of the memorial before he returned Mr. Thomas an•answer. Mr. Thomas then inquired if be were authorized to re move from the streets those women who . walked there for the avowed purpose of prostitution? Mr. HALLS said it was competent for Mr. Thomas to take into custody those females who walked the streets for that purpose, if sufficiently aware of the fact. , Mr. Thomas declared his intention to act accordingly. , A young man, a well-known thief, named Andrew Ryan, was c harged with being concerned with two others in committing a highway robbery on Friday night last.— Mr. Smith, a hatter, residing in Holborn.hill, was walk ing with his wife along Long-acre, at half-past six n Fridayt,a ma night, iigh s and as th e y 'p asse d the end of Angel t' cour standing by a p os t, ran violently against Mr. Smith , and trod heavily on the feet of his wife. — Sh e retreated a little, an d t h e f e ll o w seized the chain of Mr. Smith's watch,—a valuable gold chronometer , & with seals, -c. , value 35 guineas—and with great force detached it and its app en d a ges from the guard-chain, ° and ran off with the . property. Mr. Smith, who is a man of very short stature, ran after the thief, and was stopped by two others, who held him by the shoulders, and said— " Have you been robbed, Sir ?" and haVing impeded his pursuit, they ran off and escaped. • .Mr. Smith was asked by Mr. BALLS, the Magistrate, if he was of opinion that the prisoner was one of the robbers ? rvlr, Smith said, that one of the men - who stopped him THE RI . signifie( READ MAS_ July next, the pointmeut of vacancy, and f to this great ob poSe to become and forward Rugby, on or notice will be of ELECTIM Rugby, S e pi : N.
