judge says, You have nothing to do with the-costs." My opinion is, that were I sitting at nisi prius I should say, you have to do with the costs; and the present Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, I believe, follows that rule. I beg to say that I shall have great pleasure in giving any further information which it may be in my power on so im portant a subject to this -committee. Whether I may be enabled •to afford any aid to the committee, or not, at all • events (I say it in reference to the kind expressions of the chairman on my coming in), it affords me the greatest pleasure to testify my most unfeigned and profound re spect for the representatives of the people, than whom I verily believe there never was a more virtuous or a more enlightened assembly in the world.—Adjourned. (TO BE CONTINCED.) FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Papers of Wednesday.) We are assured that .the French troops are about to eva cuate the port of Bugia, whose conquest has already proved so expensive. Its small garrison will be divided between • Bona, Oran, and Algiers.—Courrier Francais. Extract of a letter, of the 17th instant, from Madrid : •' On the 13th a funeral service was performed in the church of St. Francis, in memory of the victims of the 17th of July. . The church was hung with black, having in the nave a su perb catafalque, surrounded by tapers. The concourse of people was immense, and the following high dignitaries of the State—Martinez de la Rosa, Moscoso, Toreno, and Bellido, with others, and a crowd of civil and military officers, a part of the Staff of the Urban Guard, and innu merable monks of• all orders, were present. The Com mittee of Finance met on the evening before last. Messrs. . Toreno and Uriarte attended the meeting. The whole committee are hostile to the plan of the Minister. Count Toreno was several times examined. The committee, we are assured, though unanimous in rejecting the plan proposed, cannot come to an agreement as to a substi . tute for it. Some are unwilling to acknowledge Aguado's loan, while others are for admitting the whole of the debts ; at all events, no decision whatever has been come to. On Wednesday last, a trumpeter and a private of the Urban militia, who were implicated in the affair of July 24, suffered death. This act of rigour has excited dis content, and the more so, as Estefani has been pardoned, or is on the point Of being so. This may lead to some sangui nary catastrophe. It was not till yesterday that the reso lution of the Government was made public. Some seditious cries were uttered in the neighbourhood of the Convent of St. Francis ; but numerous patrols were immediately sent. to the spot, and hitherto nothing serious has ensued." In the sitting of the Chamber of Procuradores, On the 16th instant, the Minister of War made a report on the army. M. Martinez de la Rosa was on the bench of Mi nisters. The report was ordered to be printed. The fol lowing is a short analysis of it :—He commenced with enumerating all the Royal troops, delivering high eu logiums as he went on. He then reviewed the acts and conduct of the rebels in the different provinces, declaring that, if this disastrous war was not brought to a termination, it was because the insurgents never dared venture to meet in the field the he roic army of the Queen, and, as an example, stated that Merino had never shown himself to the royal troops but with a force of 70 sharpshooters. According to the Mi nister's statement, the Spanish army has 200,000 men, all well armed, without reckoning the garrison of Ceuta and other fortresses, and the body guards, which is 14,000 strong. The Minister noticed the army of Portugal, de claring that it had covered itself with glory. He repre sented that it was necessary to maintain a strong force at Burgos, Saragossa, and Madrid, in order to repress the enemies of the Government, and preserve order. Referring to the Urban Militia, he cited the example of France, and reminded the Chamber of the pains it had cost Louis Philippe to establish a National Guard upon a good footing - . He concluded by praising the Urban Militia, the effective force of which, he said, amounted to 100,000 men. He then recounted all the places at which the army had distinguished itself, by beating the insurgents. After this long pre amble, he divided his report into four periods. The first comprised all the movements of the army, from Saars field to Rodil. The conduct of Quesada, Morillo, Valdes, and the other Generals, is praised. The Minister then entered upon the subject of the naval forces cruising from Corunna to Bayonne, and announced that seve ral French ships had joined the Spanish squadron, in order to defeat the plans of the rebels. He next stated some particulars as to the situation of the provinces. The second period related to the state of the army, and the grant required for its complete organization, entering into minute details of the new expenses of the State. The third period related to the measures of economy which the Government intended to pursue in future, but which could not have been as yet adopted on account of the intestine war. The fourth period was confined to emigrant officers coming within the amnesty, who, he stated, would be incorporated in the army as vacancies occurred ; adding, that already 650 rsf them "rl.- Rolla by a statement of the labours in the several manufactories of arms and ammunition, and cited more particularly those of Orbacieta, Oviedo, and Toledo. The reading of this re port lasted four hours and a-half, upon the termination of which the Chamber adjourned. The proceedings of the Chamber of Proceres, on the same day, were without any general interest. The Augsburg Gazette of the 23d inst. contains the fol lowing from Constantinople of the 29th ult. :—" Marshal Marmont had an audience of the Sultan of the 27th, who received him with the highest marks of distinction, and pre sented him with a snuff-box set with diamonds. As the Marshal was presented to the Sultan under the special pro tection of the Emperor of Russia, he was attended by the chief Dragoman, who, in like manner, received a magnifi cent snuff-box, set with diamonds. The Marshal then paid his respects to the principal dignitaries of the empire, and received special marks of consideration from the Seraskier, Chosrew Pasha, and the the Capudan Pasha, who accom panied him in his visit to the arsenal and fleet. He Pro poses to take leave in a few days, on his route to Egypt, through Brussa, Smyrna, and Syria. On the same d ay , a slight earthquake was felt, but it was attended with no bad consequences. News from Syria are said by many not to be favourable to Ibrahim ; but, on the other hand, it is as serted that the insurrection has been of far less importance than has been imagined. Morever, it is conjectured that Me hemed Ali himself aggravates the state of things, in order to have a colourable pretext for making additions to the force he already possesses in Syria, and thereby cloak his designs of aggression against the Porte. Armaments both mi litary and naval are proceeding with great activity. Not withstanding the great expense incurred by these prepara tions, the finances of the Porte are in an improving condi tion. In all the Turkish dominions, and especially in the rich country of Brussa, there are most abundant crops of silk and opium, which the Government monopolizes, and which will be immensely productive. The latest accounts from Smyrna state, that although the Island of Samos has, in general, submitted to the Porte, yet negotiations are still pending between the Government and a place called Car lovari. Pyrgos, which had excited the apprehensions of the Porte, in consequence of the numbers of armed men which had there taken refuge, sent in its submission as soon as Maratocambo had surrendered. The inhabitants of this place had sworn to shed the last drop of their blood rather than submit. The former chiefs, Logothete, La thana, and Slamato have lost all their influence, it having been discovered that their negotiations were conducted solely with a view to further their personal interests." The Gazette quotes the funds of Vienna, on the 18th -5 per Cent. Metalliques, 98 11-16tha ; 4 per Cent. ditto, 881, Bank Actions, 1,2891. The Berlin State Gazette of the 21st inst. gives further accounts of most destructive fires in the woods of Ger many, and intimates that the probable cause of these dis asters is the employment of tow for wadding in the guns of sportsmen, which, in very dry and hot weather, is capable of setting fire to the parched leaves scattered in every forest. An article from Riga, of the 1 1 th, speaks of woods destroyed near Courland, Pultarn, and Stubbence. Extract of a letter dated Nauplia, July 10 :—" A Royal Decree has just been promulgated, of which the following are the principal provisions All such officers; non-com missioned officers, and privates of our land and sea-forces, both regular and irregular, as took a glorious part in the struggle for the deliverance of their country, but have since fallen into indigence, shall, as a reward for their past services and - in order to insure a durable subsistence for themselves and their families, receive an immediate grant in fee simple of a portion of the uncultivated lands of the public domain, unless they have already received from the funds of the state, pay, pensions, or alimentary relief. These national lands shall be in a fertile country, and the persons to whom they are granted shall be formed into independent commu nities, particular regard being had to their national origin. This concentration is necessary, in order to carry into full effect the benevolent intentions of the Government with re gard to the new colonists. This measure appears to have met with general approbation." The Armorican of Brest says—" The Minister of the Marine, desiring to reward the Maltese who, by his courage and p resence o f m i n d, s aved the crews of the brigs the ilventure and Lycene, which were wrecked on the coast of Africa, by firmly maintaining that they were Englishmen, has made him a present of a very fine boat for the coral fishery. This Maltese had previously received from the French Government the decoration of the Legion of Ho flour, with the rank of Master in the French navy." • THE FIELD BooK.—We do not, in the least, go beyond the Emits of truth, when we affirm, that this is the most c omplete work that has fallen u n d er our i nspect i on, an d the best probably ever published; among the attractions we must not omit the numerous and exquisite specimens of wood engravings, as well as the great beauty of its typography —no true sportsman will be long without it. L ~` ~~' ~r , Zby -itxt. 4tz , L D t.) , FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1834. The whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday have been received this morning, in which we find several interesting particulars of the war in Spain, which have been supplied by correspondents, or extracted from the Madrid journals. On the 24th inst. General It ODIL suddenly made his appearance in the neighbourhood of Elisondo, upon which the rebels were thrown into a state of the greatest confusion, and almost instantly, with Don CARLOS, or a chief assuming his name, at their head, retreated in great disorder towards Erigny. The Moniteur also informs us, that at the same time RoDIL was pursuing the rebels at Elisondo, General LoRENzo was in pursuit of another section of them un der ZUMALACARREGUY in the Val d' Evro. This intelligence confirms, in a great degree, what we stated yesterday, with respect to the anxiety of the rebels to shun, as long as they can, coming to a regular engage ment. Neither can the policy of this course be ques tioned, if the Minister of War in Spain made anything like a correct report to the Chamber of Procuradores, or Deputies, on the 16th inst. This report, the read ing of which occupied four hours and a-half, stated that the army in Spain consisted of 200,000 ef fective troops, all well armed and properly disciplined, independent of the garrisons of some important for tresses which were not enumerated, as they could not be removed without others supplying their places. There were also the body guards, amounting to 14,000 of the bravest soldiers, which were generally considered as a separate force from the regular army ; and the Urban Militia exceeding 100,000 men, all trained to the use of arms, and devoted to the service of their QUEEN and country. The report likewise stated that the only cause of the protraction of the war in Spain was the caution with which the insur gents shunned meeting the QUEEN'S troops in the field, which the face -of the. country, unmarked as it was by roads, and unfurrowed by canals, greatly assisted them in doing, whilst,, for the same cause, it was extremely difficult to afford protection to the pro perty of the peasantry, exposed, as it must be, to their lawless incursions. It would, therefore, appear, that foreign aid, except as now employed in guarding the frontier, and preventing the flight of the rebels, or their receiving assistance from the French Carlists, could be of very little service to the QUEEN'S cause. When rebels are only protected by the lightness of their heels, and their adroitness in bush-ranging, we are persuaded a well organired . Government has but little to fear from them, and must be itself to blame if they escape unpunished. One Paris paper, the Temps, speaks of a split in the Madrid Cabinet, and that, with the exception of TOREN°, who is deputed to appoint a new ministry, all the others are to resign office. We do not give this as more than a report which, all things considered, is very likely to be correct. The cause of this change in the Ministry is stated to be the result of the debate in the Chamber . of Procuradores, on the 17th instant, on the motion of M. LopEz, for documents explanatory of the real state of the country, which was arrogantly rejected by M. Moscoso,, the Minister of the Interior. It will be remembered that in commenting upon the speech of the Minister, on that occasion, we severely censured the haughty and despotic airs assumed by the Go vernment ; and remarked that in England no cabi net dare so reply to a similar motion, if made in the . House of Commons. It seems, that we were not alone of that opinion. The' Chamber of De puties were highly incensed at the declaration then made, and have since become so restive as to fill the Cabinet with apprehensions of their inability to retain their places. 'We had likewise heard from a private, but most respectable quarter, that many of his colleagues expressed themselves, in Council, highly indignant at the despotic declaration made by the Mi nister of the Interior, which they denounced as unne cessarily insulting to the Chamber, and highly impru dent from its exposure of the designs of the Government. That it was ill-timed, nobody can doubt, but our denunciation of it was in conse quence of the principles upon which it was based. We detest secrecy almost as much in the affairs, and in the case of a Government, as we would in that of the forty followers of ALI BABA, or any other similar associa tion. Secrecy among masses of men ever leads to dis honesty, and whatever purposes it may be first assumed for, always ends in dishonesty. Of . this'-no proof is wanting to those who are acquainted with the annals of King-craft and Priest-craft in every inhabited region of the earth. We did not think it worth notice to make any pre vious observation on the solemn masses and religious processions which are being celebrated in Madrid in memory of the victims of popular fury among the monks, who were immolated on the 17th of July, on suspicion of having poisoned the springs and wells, there by causing the destruction of life 'attributed to cholera. We find, however, from the French papers, that these ridiculous demonstrations of zeal for the eternal welfare of the slain are carried to an excess which threatens to lead to another such melancholy catastrophe. On the 13th instant, M. DE LA ROSA, with most of his colleagues, a host of bishops and other eccle siastics, and an army of monks of all costumes and orders, particularly Franciscans and Carmelites, tsisted at a solemn High Mass, chaunted for the repose of their murdered brethren. This enraged the populace, who considered the conduct of the Ministry as con veying a direct censure upon them, and as . a kind of pledge to support monastic institutions ; so that, were it not for the presence of a large body of troops, there would have been more blood shed, and more monastic property destroyed, than was in that city for the last quarter of a century. We condemn the conduct of the Ministry in thus uselessly provoking the hostility of the people, as more opposed to the personal safety of the monks than any other course which they have the power of adopting. TO bring the perpetrators of mur der to the punishment provided by the laws, and sanc tioned by the voice of the community, is the duty of every wise and virtuous government ; but to assist in the performance of rites which can neither resuscitate the dead nor compensate the community for the injury it sustains in the shock given to its moral feelings, is only worthy of men fanatically mad, and ignorantly blinded with the most revolting superstition.

We refer our readers to a paper drawn up by Mr. CHURCH, the Controller of the Stationery Office, and laid before Parliament last month, as a proof of the profligate expenditure and gross negligence of former Governments in one branCh of our internal economy. Patronage with these seemed to be every thing—the interests of the community, nothing. Individuals, who held rotten boroughs, could obtain for themselves, or their friends, any situation, and receive profits to almost any amount, unchecked either by the Government or the House of Commons, provided only they supported the Ministry. The pro gress of reform has happily put an end to such nefa rious practices. It appears from this paper that for the three years immediately previous to 1830, the average amount paid to Sir A. B. KING, the King's stationer in Ireland, for stationery, printing, and binding, was 22,263/. ; and that, since that pe riod, it has not exceeded 7,4881., making a saving to the public of 14,775/, a year ; that the amount paid to the printers of Parliamentary papers for the Sessions 1830 and 1831 was 86,2171., and for the Sessions 1832 and 1833, 53,797, making a saving of 32,5971. or 16,298/. a year; that the saving to the public by the reduction of the prices paid to the King's Printers for Acts of Parliament amounts to considerably more than 6,0001. a-year, and that in consequence of a negotiation entered into with the King's printer in Scotland, the expense for stationery, &c., in that country have been reduced from 10,5001. to 4,5001., making an annual saving of 6,0001., and a saving on the whole of 43,000/. a year. In most of these items it will be seen that the clear profits, over and above the ample remuneration which the present prices afford, are in some instances two-thirds, and on an average fully one half, of the whole charge. What man that preferred worldly pelf to patriotism would be a Whig in those days ? And need we wonder that the STRACIIANS, and SPOTTISWOODS, and HANSARDS, have made such enormous fortunes ? There is one point which Mr. CHURCH has left un explained. How happens it that for the last two years the prices paid to Messrs. NI c HoLs for printing the votes of the Commons have been reduced 40 per cent., while those paid to Messrs. HANSARD, and the King's printer, will produce respectively a saving of only 25 and 20 per cent ? Is this in consequence of any re luctance to reduce the charges on the part of the SPEAKER, who, we believe, has, or, claims the privi lege of appointing these officers? We merely inquire for information. We direct particular attention to the evidence of the LORD CHANCELLOR, on the libel law, delivered be fore a Select Committee of the House of Com mons, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The importance of the extract which we have given to-day, is chiefly in conveying to the people of the United Kingdom, the opinion of the highest, and unquestionably the most intelligent, legal authority in the Empire, on the moral and poli tical effect of continuing the stamp duties on news papers. The opinion of Lord BROUGHAM is invalu able on the merits of such a question. His Lordship is a profound thinker, a sagacious observer, and a most discriminating judge of the effects produced by the dissemination of the seeds of thought, observation, and reflection, among the great mass of mankind. The CHANCELLOR is not a mere law judge, who weighs every question in the balance of a profession, more celebrated for its knowledge of its own previous acts, than its acquaintance with time effects of equity on human conduct ; on the con trary, in whatever is submitted to him, he beholds with eagle-eyed penetration a disjointed fragment of the great frame-work . of social order, which, unless carefully repaired and replaced, will en danger the stability of the entire structure. We have not time to-day to enter' into the merits of his Lordship's arguments and illustrations, in proof of the sound policy, and immense national ad vantage of the abolition of all taxes on the dissemination of knowledge, but our earliest attention shall be given to the subject. In the meantime we call particular attention to the following remarks, as just as they are admirable : " I am of opinion that a sound system of Government re quires the people to read and inform themselves upon political subjects, else they are the prey of every quack, every impostor, and every agitator who may practise his trade in the country. If they do not read—if they do not learn—if they do not digest, by discussion and reflection, what they have read and learned—if they do not thus qualify them selves to form opinions for themselves, other men will form opinions for them, not according to truth and to the inte rests of the people, but according to their own individual and selfish interests, which may, and most probably will, be contrary to that of the people at large. The best security for a Government like this, for the Legislature, for the Crown, and generally for the public peace and public mo rals, is, that the whole community should be well informed upon its political as well as its other interests ; and it can be well informed only by having access to wholesome, sound, and impartial publications. Therefore they will and ought to read the news of the day, political discussions, political events, the debates of their representatives in Par liament, and of the other House of Parliament ; and on not one of these heads can any paper be published, daily or weekly, without coming under the stamp law ; consequently the people at large are excluded, by the dear form in which alone the respectable publishers can afford it, while they pay the duty. They can only have it in a cheap form by pur chasing of publishers of another description, who break the revenue law by paying for no stamps, and also break all other laws by the matter they publish. If instead of news papers being sold for 6d. or ls., they could be sold for Id., I have no manner of doubt there would immediately follow the greatest possible improvement in the tone and temper of the political information of the people, and therefore of the political character and conduct of the people. It is my de cided and deliberate opinion, from very long and anxious con sideration, that the danger is not of the people learning too much, but knowing too little".

Sydney papers to March 25, and Cape of Good Hope to June 12, have been received at the North and South Ameri can Coffee-house. ( From ,the Australian of March 24.) The petition to Parliament for a Legislative Assembly, which goes home this day by the Sir Joseph Banks, is signed by 6,025 free members of the community. The whole mea sures seventeen yards in length. A sum of 2001. has also been remitted to pay the necessary expenses. The Cape of Good Hope Papers are destitute of information. Our only arrivals this morning of any interest is the express from Paris, which furnishes us with a telegraphic dispatch, dated Bayonne, 25th inst., stating that General Rodil had, on the 24th, again approached Elisondo, which caused ano ther panic in the. Bastan, in consequence of which the Junta and Don Carlos took the road to Ereigny. Zumalacarreguy was in the Val d'Errol pursued by General Lorenzo. It also appears that a bulletin from the Carlist head-quarters has been received at Paris, which claims a vic tory over the Queen's troops, whose loss is stated to be 300 men, with 3 pieces of artillery, and two Colonels. A change in the Spanish Ministry was expected to take place. Spanish comes rather higher, 341; Rentes, 75. 5. According to the accounts from Valencia, it appears that the conspiracy detected there was of a greater extent than originally stated. Part of the town was to have been set on fire, to occupy the attention of the Urabains, during which period the fortifications were to be attacked, and the Captain General was to be poisoned by one of his do mestics. A great number of persons have been arrested, amongst whom are several of distinction. THE FUNDS. - - This being settling day in the Foreign Market, the attention of the brokers and jobbers is occupied in settling their accounts. The extreme fluctuation in Spanish during the Account hus been about four per cent., that of Portuguese six per cent. ; both are very heavy to settle, and so great a difference was not expected by the speculators, as they originally anticipated more favourable information of a decisive nature from Madrid respecting the Cortes Bonds. The financial mea sures lately taken on the part of the Portuguese Government in calling in their paper money, have not operated so favourably at present as was expected, and as we stated yesterday that the bills drawn by the agent of the Portuguese Government for specie to be sent to Lisbon, had some difficulty in being cashed, has had the effect to depress the Portuguese Stock in our market. Spanish, which left off yesterday at 44 opened at 444- ; at present it is 44i Portuguese 792 80. Consols left off yesterday at 892 3. ; and opened at the same price this morning, with little doing. As yet we do not hear of any failures in the foreign market. HALF-PAST ONE. Some discredit prevailed in the City this morning respecting the Bank having thrown out the bill of 110,000/. drawn by the Bank of Lisbon upon the Portuguese financial agent in . this country. We can now stateto our reader; the following facts. That bills to the amount of two hundred thousand pounds have been drawn from Lisbon for specie, to be sent there, one of about sixty thousand pounds, on a gentleman in the Stock Exchange, the others on Portuguese merchants and a con tractor; an attempt was made through a certain party to sound the Bank Directors if they would discount these bills, which they refused to do. Accounts have been received from Madrid this morning, stating that a special messenger had arrived there from London, with a letter from Lord Palmerston, respecting the proposal of the Spanish Bond holders in this country, for the arrange ' 'merit of the Cores Bonds, which his Lordship strongly re commends. Information has been received from Tarragona this morning stating that the cholera had broken out there, making great ra vages, and it was feared it would extend to Barcelona. Consols have improved since the early part of the morning from 90k to 904 s for the account. As yet the settling of the Foreign Account is going off well. No further defaulters have been declared than those two of yesterday. Spanish 441 1. Portuguese 7911. THREE 0' CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 901 I. THE FUNDS._ CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

P., and a Bench of Magistrates.) Edward. Thomas, a child of eight years of age, and of by no means hardened appearance, was indicted for stealing 11 sovereigns, a watch, chain, seal, and key, and other articles i the property of Henry Chamberlain, his grandfather. Upon the prisoner being arraigned at the bar, and asked whether he was guilty or not, he burst into tears, and was some time be fore he could say Not Guilty. Henry Chamberlain, a decrepid old man, stated that'he lived at Brentford. On going home he missed his property, and, suspecting the prisoner, he set the police to work to find him. On discovering him the whole of the money was found about him. Witness kept his money in a chest in his house. The prisoner did not reside there. Had stolen things before. Police constable T 19, on hearing of the robbery, made search after him. The prisoner, who lived with his mother close by the prosecutor's house, appeared to witness to have got from his mother's house by the spout, in at the window of the prosecutor's house. The witness was in search of him for come time. The CHAIRMAN here interrupted the case, observing that he was sure the Jury and the Court would think him right in recommending them to find the prisoner guilty only of simple larceny, and not stealing in a dwelling-house, as in the result of the latter verdict his only course would be to transport hini for life. The sovereigns were not identified, nor was it proved that the stealing took place in a dwelling-house. The prosecutor said he could not swear to the sovereigns, but he was positive the watch, chain, and the other things were his property. The CHAIRNIAN again recommended the jury to find the pri soner guilty only of the simple larceny. The jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing to the value of less than 51., and not in a dwelling-house. The CHAIRMAN inquired if the father of the boy was present, and on being answered in the affirmative he directed him to come forward. The father stated that the boy had been under the care of his mother-in-law who was rather strict with him. He was in the habit of running away from school and going out at nights. In consequence of this he was reprimanded and his clothes kept from him, and he supposed the boy got from his (witness's) house to that of his grandfather for the purpose of looking after his clothes. The CHAIRMAN said that the harsh treatment of the boy had doubtless caused him to commit the offence, and he prayed of the witness to consider the responsibility that rested upon himself and wife. He was afraid that there were but too many boys rendered thieves by the harsh treatment of their parents. _ _ _ The COURT sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprison ment in the house of correction, fourteen days of that period to be in solitary confinement. The father of the boy returned thanks to the Court for its clemency, and The CHAIRMAN desired him to beg of his wife to'reflect on what she had done by her harsh treatment. George Smith was convicted of stealing one pair of shoes, the property of Richard Forty, and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment ; two weeks to be spent in solitary con finement, and to be once whipped. Joseph Bajent, who was convicted of stealing a drinking glass, value sevenpence, from the house of Ann Dodson, the Old Swan, Chelsea, received a similar sentence. Mary Williams was convicted of stealing a pair of hoots, the property of Stephen Smith, and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment ; one week to be spent in solitary con finement. John Clarke was indicted for stealing 2s. from his master, Mr. Fincham, the tea-dealer, of Charing-cross. Henry Fincham, of 55, Charing-cross, deposed that the prisoner was in his employ as porter. Having lost a good deal of money out of the till, he caused several pieces of money to be marked, and placed in it. On coming down on the morning of the 27th, he missed two of the marked shil lings from the till. He called the prisoner to him, and charged him with the theft. The prisoner said he was mis taken ; and the witness being about to call a policeman, the prisoner put his hand in his pocket and brought out 25., which he placed on the desk, and which the policeman took up. The shillings were those which he had marked. A clerk of Mr. Fincham's deposed to his master's marking 10s., and placing it in the till. Policeman A 105, saw the prisoner place the money on the desk, which he took up. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had lived in seve ral respectable situations for a long course of years, and had never been placed in a situation like the present. He had lived several years with Mr. Fincham, but latterly several per quisites, which he had hitherto enjoyed, had been taken away, and his wages were not adequate for his support. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, recommending him to mercy, on account of his former good character. Tile CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to 14 days' solitary confinement in the House of Correction. Mr. Fincham said, that under a search warrant, they had found coffee, tea, and several other articles in the possession of the prisoner. With respect to his having low wages, he thought it but just to himself to state, that since the prisoner first came into his service his wages had been increased, and he had never complained that his wages were not sufficient. BOW STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Lechford, the keeper of a coffee-shop in St. Giles's, was summoned before Sir F. A. ROE, by Digby the informer, for knowingly suffering gambling in his parlour. The informer's witness stated, that on Friday last, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, he went into the de fendant's parlour, where he saw four young men playing at the game of bagatelle. The first game he saw them play was for cups of coffee, and afterwards they played for ginger beer. He saw them have the coffee and the ginger beer, for which the loser paid. The defendant, when called upon to answer the charge, said he had pleaded guilty to a former charge, because he knew that the game had been played, but the present summons charged him with knowingly permitting gambling in his house —that he must positively deny, for so particular was he, that he had been at the expense of having a board painted, and hung up in the room, which expressly said that no gambling was allowed. Sir F. ROE said that did not alter the case. It might be a very convenient blind if such a defence was to prevail. The offence was clearly proved, and the defendant had rendered himself liable to a fine of 101. Could he say any thing to in duce the Magistrate to mitigate that penalty. The defendant called two witnesses, but neither of them were in the house 'between the hours named in the summons ; they could only speak to facts generally. Sir F. ROE said they were of no use, and fined the de fendant in the mitigated penalty of 20s. and costs. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant inquired whether it was legal for him to keep a board for the amuse ment of hi s customers or not. The Magistrates said it was clearly illegal to permit such an offence as had just been adjudicated upon. He declined to answer the question as it was put ; but it would be better for the defendant to comply strictly with the terms of the Act of Parliament. E. W. Kemble Turner, the proprietor of the White Hart, in St. Clement's-lane, appeared upon a summons, charging him with being in the constant habit of entertaining notoriously bad characters at all hours. The information was laid by Po lice Sergeant 15 F, and was supported by a great number of most respectable neighbours, both male and female. The case, however, could not be gone into, in consequence of an infor mality in the summons, which did not require the defendant to produce his licence ; the Magistrate was obliged to dismiss it. The witnesses said, as their time was precious, they trusted the petition they had sent in to the Licensing Justices would have the effect of abating the nuisance. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

TAKING POSSESSION OP THE cla iSE4. LAMMAS LANDS.. • , , Yesterday e ven i ng the inhabitants of the parish of St. Luke e: °, Chelsea, after having assembled and consulted on the sub) of their meeti ng at the vestry room, adjoining their be autiful new Gothic church, proceeded in due form, headed by th y beadle, churchwa r d ens , overseers, an d ot h er officers of the P a , rish, to take poss ess i on o f t h e i r _ anc i ent L a mmas Lan ds / called the " Lotts," situated at the western- extremity of the parish, near the uni q u e an d e l egant v ill a o f t h e Baron de lies renger. About six o'cl oc k i n t h e even i ng the ire casi°fi arrived, accompanied by an i mmense concourse of their f ellow , parishioners, and took possession of the ground in the follo the ing order :—First, the b ea dl e proceeded in due form to . gates, and finding them locked and secured, was ordered 111.11; mediately by the assembled authorities to demand admission the name of the parish and inhabitants of St. Luke's, Chelsl% which not being able to obtain,,h e was comman ded to knoc k l l o , locks off, which he did, and the procession, prece ded o ft horses and other cattle (as i s usua l on th ese o ccasions) t°, possession, amidst the shout s and acc l ama ti ons of the assem ble multitude. It appears, by an accurate m a p in the p o ssession of Mr ; Faulkner, the historian of th e parish, that th e se lands bt' e been in the uninterrupted possession of the parish from ° immemorial, and they were dispossess e d by the Kensi rl t I d Canal Company in the year 1826, w h o h ave illegallPf. st them ever since, and shut o u t th e i n h a bit an t s during the ' n few years, from their co mmon right to graze their cattle ol)°, it at a certain period of the y e a r ; and but for the spirited eml, ertions of the present parish officers and the Parochial Co t mittee, these rights would have b een en ti re ly lost, to the g re p a , detriment of the parish. The l an d s i n question consist o f th© feral acres of good fertile meado w l an d, on the banks of t Thames, which in all probability, in the course of a few ye d from the great improvement going on in that neighbourouv will become of great value to the parish, t he The parish put the case in the ha n d s o f Mr. Rogers , - •,h Record Solicitor, who so succes s f u lly recovere d for the pgr' . o of St. Margaret's, Westminster, the right of a ssessmen t Richmond Terrace,. and Whitehall Place, and under , advice they have now acted on the present occasion. t he Mr. Bower, a gentleman of intelligence, an Overseer of st parish, on the argument which t oo k pl ace at the Vestry , l l 4 b , spiritedly declared that he would (if necessary ) take all he responsibility on himself, if there were any doubts as to t o legality of their - proceedings, but which hi s f r i en ds of or lu the would not suffer. On finishing their proceedingl ° II "b, ground, the populace were regaled with b ee r and, other refr es ., ments, after which the gentlemen o f th e p ar i s h r etired to 14 Stadium, under a salute of cannon fired from the Baron's f t , s fortifications, and partook of re f res h men t, and kept it t I P ate hour.
