the language which it behoved the French Cham ber of Deputies to hold. It is not only useful as it tends to show the Emperor of RUSSIA what he may expect if he persist in his present course but particularly so as regards the French KING, who is believed to have a greater regard for the security of his dynasty than for the per manent honour of the French Throne. M. DUPIN and the Chamber seem to be fully aware of the truckling disposition of Louis PHILIP. They seem to know that if left to himself lie would throw the dignity of the nation overboard, rather than hazard his own precious cargo in the vessel of the state. But France has declared to him through her Deputies —and really we are astonished at such a display of fiimness, considering that the nation has so little command over the Chamber —that he must not attempt to preserve his throne from foreign assailments by concessions unworthy of the national honour, and that the signal for his ex pulsion would be the moment when he should attempt a dishonourable compromise with either of his brother Kings. We are glad that the Chamber have spoken out. It is reported that the Government, in conse quence of the threatening aspect of foreign af fairs, has for the present suspended its announced Intention of reducing the Army. The Dublin Morning Register of Saturday contains a long account of a dinner given at Kells to the Members for Meath, Mr. HENRY GRATTAN and Mr. MORGAN O'CONNELL. The father of the latter gentleman was present, and spoke at great length on the subject of repeal. The following sentences are worthy of note : " I merely now ask you whether you consider a par liament at Westminster, composed of keen and self-willed Scotch, with slumbering (but by no means care less to their own i nterests) English—whether a Par liament composed of Englishmen and Scotchmen would do mo re good for you, or a P arliament in College-green, into which no man would be admitted but an Irishman, and that Irishman freely chosen by the people?—(Hear.)" After a string of falsehoods about Ireland being bound only to pay ten or fifteen millions of the National Debt and England all the rest, by way of shewing how badly the people had been treated generally by the Imperial Parliament, he said—. " Let us look even to our own country. But a few years since, and the aristocracy were all-powerful, and the people were grovelling in the dust. If a man then raised his head, it was only that he might take his hat off for his betters. Now he may wear his hat, and if his masters are men of good sense, they will be glad to take off their hats to the people.—(Chee rs and laughter.) Why, the very youngest amongst us, that even dare to speak a word against the authorities, would escape very well with a short imprisonment in the storks, or the police barracks. That time has gone by.—(Hear.) We tell our masters to their faces, we stand upon terms of equality with them. --(Hear.): Thi s is some proof of justice having been done to Ireland. MARLBOROUGH - STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A person f gentlemanly exterior, apparently about fifty years of age, who gave his name to the Magistrate George Charteris, but_who has also passed by the different names of Williams, Macgregor, &c., was charged with swindling, under circumstances of a novel description. Mr. Rose, the proprietor of Batt's Hotel, in Dover-street, Piccadilly, deposed that at two o'clock, on Saturday, the pri soner called at his house and asked if Mr. H. Mackenzie was one of his customers ; the waiter said he was, but he was not then In town. The prisoner said he was in town, for he had seen him. The prisoner said he should want a bed, and would be back by eleven o'clock at night, desiring that a good fire might be kept in the bed.room. The fire was prepared, the prisoner returned at about half past eleven o'clock, and went to bed. On the following morning a boy (now In the office) brought a paper parcel, addressed to Mr. M'Qregor, which was taken by the waiter to the prisoner; the waiter came down again with a re. ceipt, purporting that the goods in the parcel came to 5/.165., and _signed by a..11.--3ireartbry,-withr &message from the prisoner that he, Mr. Rose, would pay it for him. Mr. Rose refused, as the prisoner was a stranger. The prisoner then sent down a check upon Messrs. Drummond's for 15/. €s., signed Macgregor. Thinking he was a swindler, Mr. Rose took a cab and went to Drummond's, when the answer he got was "no orders." Mr. Rose, on his way home, called at a station-house, and took Mr. Abrahams, an inspector of police with him. He then went to the prisoner's room, and accused him of being a swindler, upon which the prisoner got in a rage. Mr. Rose said he had the police in the Hall, and that be would detain both him and the boy. The prisoner then came down stairs defying witness to detain him. Mr. Rose asked if he was at liberty to open the parcel, and the * prisoner said he was not, upon which Mr. Rose took on himself to open it, and discovered nothing but a few scraps of things of no value. The parcel was here re-opened, and Mr. DYER, the 3fagis. trate, described the contents as " rubbish." Mr. Abrahams, the inspector, said he had presented the check at Drummond's, and the answer was, " no effects," but they would not say whether any such person as Mr. M‘Gregor kept an account there. lie took upon himself to detain the prisoner. The M►GISTRATE thought the Inspector had acted perfectly right. He also asked if this were not a new device to get money. Mr. Rose said it was not new to him, but it certainly was not common. Other cases were brought forward, after which the pri soner was remanded until Saturday, and the boy was also detained. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Hobart Town papers to the 7th September have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Paper of the 3d September, contains the Address of his Excellency to the Members of the Legislative Council, which met on the 3d September, and his Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor opened the proceedings with an address of some length, from which we give the following extract : " From the commencement of my administration, the re sources of the Colony have been gradually developing them selves in a manner highly satisfactory, more especially after the suppression of bushranging, the removal of the Aborigines, and the introduction of a more efficient penal discipline.

This is a valuable addition to our biographical stores, for never was one poet better qualified to snake us acquainted with the thoughts, feelings, habits, &c., of another. Mr. Lockhart's memoir of the Ayrshire ploughman is the most nervous and eloquent; Dr. Currie's the most elaborate; but Allan Cunningham's is the most complete and authentic. He has written it con an:ore—thrown his whole soul into it. Here and there, however, we detect little bits of cant—throwings up of the eyes, and purita nical shakes of the head, which might just as well have been avoided. " Oh fie !"—a favourite phrase with biographers—is much too often in Mr. Cun ningham's mouth. Now this conventicle slang is intolerable, especially when launched against such a man as Burns, whose story—despite his irregula rities—cannot but excite the deepest commiseration. Indeed we never perused a more painful one. It is the old tale of genius neglected and distrusted when alive, to be honoured with the insulting mockery of a monument when dead ; though of all tales of this sort, it may, we think, in point of suffering, claim the preeminence. Other gifted spirits have hurried on through unchanging gloom and obscurity to the grave ; but Burns touched the loftiest pinnacle of glory, only to be hurled thence into the blackest depths of despair. It is this start ling—this cruel caprice of destiny that makes his case so affecting. The man whom Robertson pro nounced the most striking genius of his age ; to whom Stuart and Blair were proud to listen, as to some inspired oracle ; whom Dukes and Lord, che rished as the grace and ornament of their social circle ; whom high-born, lovely women thronged in crowds to converse with and admire; to whom Lord Sidmouth addressed complimentary stanzas — remarkable for nothing but a fine aristocratic dul ness that there is no mistaking—and whom Pitt declared to be the 'first poet since the daysof Shaks peare ;—the man thus flattered, thus distinguished; died deserted by the great, a poor, paltry Exciseman, chin-deep in debt, with scarce food enough in his hovel to afford a meal to a stray mouse; his last moments embittered by the recollection that the hour which consigned him to the dust, would most probably make his wife, for the fifth time, a mother ! And his fears were realized. Her husband's coffin was passing out of the house, when Mrs. Burns was delivered of a fifth " child of misery, baptized in tears !" What a sad tale is here. Nevertheless, it will not be without its use, if it shall be the means of persuading aspiring visionaries who are just stepping boldly across the threshold of manhood, to cultivate all faculties but those of the imagination. Better be a day-labourer than a poet. Better sweat at the forge—dig in the mine—carry the hod— shoulder the musket—or spin flax in the factory, with a great, healthy overseer flourishing a billy-roller above one's head, capable of cracking every skull but his own —better follow any of these inglorious callings than cultivate an acquaintance with the Muses, on the keen, barren, hunger-inspiring heights of Par nassus. Other men are not without their cheering, sunny prospects. The poet has none. A jail forms his fore-ground, and a work-house glooms on his horizon. These are inferences that will suggest themselves to every one who peruses Cunningham's Life of Burns with attention. Viewed in this light they are the most instructive reading possible. We hasten to give a valuable anecdote from them, illustrative of the conduct of one of Burns's noisiest patrons, the Earl of Buchan : " The Earl, quoth our friend Allan, had advised Burns to visit the battle-fields of Caledonia, and firing his fancy by deeds wrought by heroes, pour their deathless names in song. When the prophet retired to meditate in the desert he was miracu lously fed by ravens; but the peer forgot to say how the poet was to be fed, when musing on the fields of Stirling, Falkirk, and Bannockburn." It is much to his Lordship's credit that he was not equally forgetful of the interests of Robert Bloomfield, of whom, some short time afterwards, he professed himself the patron, equally with Robert Burns. When the " Farmer's Boy," came out, we have been told that this munificent Earl got together a party of the English poet's friends, and after many kind suggestions had been proposed, cried out in a fine phrenzy of generosity—" Gentlemen, I really think we can't do better than each take a pair of shoes of this poor man !" But enough of this Scotch Maecenas. As the Earl of Buchan acted, so acted the rest of the Scottish Chiefs. They petted, feasted, flattered Burns, and then left him to starve and die. Con sidering his own situation, and the aggravated cir cumstances of the case, Allan Cunningham should have been more energetic on this part of his sub ject. A fine, towering passion would have fir better become him, than the shy, timid hints and down ward looks he pleases to indulge in. He is a man ---he is a poet—above all, he is a native of Burns's own district. It was his duty then to have thought and spoken out as such. No patron worth pre serving could have been lost by such candour. On perusing the present memoir, we are struck with the numerous points of resemblance that existed between Burns and Byron. Both were noted for their extreme candour—for the carelessness and levity of their remarks—for their caustic wit—fierce, intractable natures—and the vehemence of their passion for the gentler sex. Woman was the only spell that could calm down the feelings of either the Peer or the peasant. In other respects no compa rison can be instituted between them. Byron had a grasp of thought, a comprehensiveness of imagination, to which Burns was a stranger. Yet in point of a certain sound, healthy intellect, we question much, whether the latter is not to be preferred to the former. No single work of Byron has ever commu nicated half the pleasure, or been devoured with half the avidity of " Tam o' Shanter." As a song writer, especially where woman is the subject, Burns is the first that ever lived. There is nothing maud in or fantastic about him. His poetic pulse is full of life and vigour, and he pays the sex the rare com pliment of heart-felt sincerity. It has been objected to him that his passion should have evinced a little more spirituality ; but let it be remembered that his inspiration was the buxom, rosy-eheeked, red-armed, laughing lasses of Ayrshire, and out of such mate als it is difficult to create a Una or a Genevieve. Ther e is little of imagination or invention in Burns' works. H is in its char • longs only,,toTathnelwoh!n character, wit h is direct and straight-forward highest Shanter" a magnanimity e ilstorders o f m a i b n o d u . t it T t I I: e a t m b a e -- terials of to his hand s; h e couldante never r The same rem ar k applies to his " C h h e a f v o e un in d ve r n ea te d d y t m he a m de more than t t a a t s e Saturday ral Night," which is n ot hi n g tran script from real life. Such was Burns as a poet. As a man, he was " more sinned against than sin n ing" a frank, ca re l e s s child of genius, who ‘vo r e his " heart upon a sleeve for claws to peck ar." It is greatly to his credit, that when in habits of inti macy with the highest circles at Edinburgh he. never lost sight of seltrespect. The haughtiest Peer in Scotland never once dared to take a liberty with him, for the peasant, fresh from the plough-tail, knew how to win, as well as to command, esteem. It was not till he had experienced the hollowness o all aristocratic patronage, and hopeless darkness had gathered over all his prospects, that Burns, in the madness of disappointment, " fell into evil courses." For this the Saint will, no doubt, shake his head, and say, far better that he had read or written tracts ; while the Political Economist may possibly add, far better that he had given up the unpro fitable trade of verse, studied Malthus, and com posed verses on the Preventive Check. But it is not by these, and such as these, that a man like Burns is to be estimated. We take him out of the hands of intolerance, and consign him with confi dence to enlightened and charitable judges. These, while they condemn his irregularities, will not be ashamed to urge in extenuation that men of genius are not mere mechanics : that it is their province—the sad condition on which they hold their patent of intel lectual nobility—to hve in a state of perpetual mental intoxication, and that to expect from them the cold, plodding regularity of a drudge, is to expect con stancy from the winds, or warmth from an ice-berg. Common sense and genius travel by very different roads to success. The course of the one lies through sloughs and along the edge of flowery precipices, beset by will-o-the-wisps and meteors, that lure the thoughtless traveller on to destruction ; that of the other is direct, straightforward, and along a broad, beaten highway, that there is no mistaking. What wonder, then, that where one man of common sense reaches his journey's end in safety ; ten men of genius miss their way, starve—die—and are for gotten ? He who, after having perused Mr. Cun ningham's " Memoirs of Burns," shall rise from the perusal with a sense of indignation, predomi nating over compassion and forgiveness for the poet must possess a head and heart neither to be envied nor respected. The subjoined extracts will be new to many of our readers : " With how little advantage to his health he bathed in the Solway, may be gathered from his letter to Cunningham, of the 7th of July—' Alas 1 my friend, I fear the voice of the Bard will soon be heard among you no more. For these eight or ten months I have been ailing, sometimes bedfast and sometimes not; but these last three months I have been tor tured with an excruciating rheumatism, which has reduced me to nearly the last stage. You would actually not know me if you saw me. Pale, emaciated, and so feeble as occasionally to need help from my chair—my spirits fled—fled—but I can no more on this subject. I beg you to use your utmost inte rest, and that of all your friends, to move our Commissioners of Excise to grant me my full salary. If they do not grant it, I must lay my account with an exit truly en peek—if I die not of disease, I must perish with hunger.' The Excise re fused this last humble boon." " Burns had formerly, when his hopes were higher and his health good, made it almost a quarrel with Thomson that he had sent him five pounds in acknowledgment of his songs. His situation, in all'Tespects, was changed now: he had to bend his proud heart to beg from the Excise the continuance of his pay ; and he had to lay himself under obligations to Stobie, who generously performed his duties gratis. He Lad no money in his pocket, and scarcely any food in his house; and, to aggravate these evils, one Williamson, to whom he owed the price of the cloth of his volunteer regimentals, threatened to sue him for the amount. The Poet was alarmed at this ; and on the 12th of July wrote to Thomson, saying, After my boasted independence, curst necessity compels me to implore you for five pounds. A cruel haberdasher, to whom I owe an account, taking it into his head that I am dying, has commenced a process, and will infallibly put me in gaol. Do, for God's sake, send me that sum, and that by re turn of post. Forgive me this earnestness ; but the horrors of a gaol have made me half distracted. " On the same day that Burns wrote to Thomson, he also wrote to Mrs. Dunlop, and to his cousin, James Burness, of Montrose. To the latter he said, A rascal of a haberdasher believes that I am dying, and will infallibly put my emaciated body in gaol. Will you be so good as accommodate me, and that by return of post, with ten pounds ? 0, James, did you know the pride of my heart, you would feel doubly for me. Alas ! lam not used to beg. 0, do not disappoint me—save me from the horrors of a gaol. To Mrs. Dunlop he said, I have written to you so often without receiving any answer, that 1 would not trouble you again but for the circumstances in which I am. An illness which has long hung about me in all probability will speedily send me beyond that bourne whence no traveller returns.' Your friendship, with which for many years you honoured me, was a friendship dearest to my soul ; your conversation, and especially your correspond ence, were at once highly entertaining and instructive. With what pleasure did I use to break up the seal ! The remem brance yet adds one pulse more to my poor palpitating heart. Farewell !' " • • • • • • " Though Burns now knew that he was dying, his good humour was unruffled, and his wit never forsook him. When he looked up and saw Dr. Maxwell at his bedside,—' Alas !' he sai,d ' what has brought you here ? lam but apoor crow, and not worth plucking.' He pointed to his pistols, took them in his hand, and gave them to Maxwell, saying they could not be in worthier keeping, and he should never more have need of them. This relieved his proud heart from a sense of obligation. Soon afterwards he saw Gibson, one of his brother volunteers, by the bed-side with tears in his eyes. He smiled and said,—` John, don't let the awkward squad fire over me.' " His little household presented a melancholy spectacle: the Poet dying; his wife in hourly expectation of being confined; four helpless children wandering from aoom to room, gazing on their miserable parents, and little of food or cordial kind to pacify the whole or soothe the sick. To Jessie Lewars, all who are charmed with the Poet's works are much indebted; she acted with the prudence of a sister, and the tenderness of a daughter, and kept desolation away, though she could not keep disease.—` A tremor,' says Maxwell, `pervaded his frame; his tongue, though often refreshed, became parched; and his mind, when not roused by conversation, sunk into delirium. On the second and third day after his return from The Brow, the Lever increased, and his strength diminished. On the fourth day, when his attendant held a cordial to his lips, he swallowed it eagerly—rose almost wholly up—sprang for ward nigh the whole length of the bed—fell on his face and expired. He was 37 years and seven months old, and of a form and strength which romised long life ; but the great and inspired are often cut down in youth, while— ' Villains ripen grey with time.' " Before we close, we must say a few words of Burns as a prose writer. Here, though he has occasion ally fine passages, full of strength and muscle, yet his excellence is by no means of superior quality. His letters abound in conceits—sounding phrase ology, which is neither prose nor poetry, but hovers between both—far-fetched metaphors—and mise rable attempts at wit. He is perpetually attempting to say something fine, and as perpetually miscarry ing. Mr. Allan Cunningham, we hope, will make a judicious selection from his correspondence, and not pitchfork it, wholesale, into his edition, as Dr. Currie has done. Burns, as a poet, is all inspira tion ; Burns, as a prose writer, " is of the earth, earthly"—little, if at all, superior to that mouther of sounding common-places—Dr. Blair. MR. LEECH'S BANKRUPTCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—An article, under the above title, having appeared in The Sun, stating " that several coffee-housekeepers met at the Belle Sauvage Inn, and came to the resolution, that any tradesman who supplied Mr. Leech with goods, whether for cash or credit, should de deprived of their (the coffee-house-keepers') custom," I state most distinctly, that no such meeting ever took place in my house, nor elsewhere that I know of. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Belle Sauvage Inn, Jan 6. ROBERT NELSON. We regret to learn that Sir John Tyrrell, Bast., met with a serious accident, while hunting with Colonel Conyers' hounds near Oogar, on Thursday. The Hon. Baronet was thrown from his horse with consider able violence, but, though much bruised, he fortunately esc sped without any fracture. He is, however, still suf fering pain, and is compelled to use crutches.—. Essex Standard. DEATH OF MR. SOTHEBY, THE POET.- W. Sitheby, Esq., the poet, and author oh' Oberon," and the translator of Homer, died at his house in Lower Grosvenor-street, on the 30th ult., aged '77. _ _ The plan intended to be adopted by , c The London, Holyhead, and Liverpool Steam• Coach and Road Company," for improving the existing turnpike roads, is, we understand, that for which Thomas Parkin, E•q•, of Dudley, took out a patent in the year 1825 ; and for car rying this important object into effect a company, under the title of " The National Stone-way Company," was formed in London in that year ; but which, in conse quence of the succeeding panic, was abruptly dissolved. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and a London Jury.) Philip Closson, an elderly man of respectable exterior, was indicted for feloniously stealing, in the parish of St. Bride's, 2.0 sovereigns, the moneys of Robert Nelson, in his dwelling house. Henry Andrews deposed that he was under-book-keeper at the Belle Sauvage Coach-office, Ludgate-hill, and that on the 3d December last he missed a parcel from a sideboard, behind a desk in the coach-office, which was a part of the same build ing as the hotel department, in which the prosecutor, Mr. Nelson, resides. The parcel was directed to a Mary Bigmore, Newington-place, Kennington, and there was no other parcel of the same direction. Witness saw the prisoner in the book ing -office about twenty minutes or half an hour before he missed the parcel, which witness placed on the sideboard be tween twelve and one o'clock in the day, and it was missed between four and five o'clock. The prisoner came in about four o'clock, and began to talk with theservants, warmed himself at the fire, and at last got himself to the spot near which the parcel was lying. No other strange person came near the parcel except the prisoner, who used to call and inquire after a situation. Witness has never seen the parcel since. It came to the office by the Haverhill coach on the morning in question. Mr. Samuel Bigmore deposed that he resided at Haverhill, in Suffolk, and that he sent off', on the 21 December, a parcel di rected " Mary Bigmore, No. 1, Newington-place, Kennington Common," and containing twenty sovereigns. It was made up between two pieces of wood, rolled up in a newspaper, and in an envelope of blue paper. Witness gave the parcel to the coach man at Haverhill. On the outside the witness wrote the words " twenty pounds," but did not either book or insure the parcel. Henry Andrews re-called, and cross.examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS, who defended the prisoner —The parcel had arrived at the coach-office 24 hours before it was missed ; but it was safe on the sideboard four hours before it was missed. There were three fellow-servants and Mr. Edgell in the office in the course of the day. Mr. Edgell is here, but not the three fellow-ser vants of witness. Did not notice the words or figures "twenty pounds" upon the parcel. Robert Tyrrell deposed that he took the prisoner into cus tody at the Brown Bear, Southwark, on the 4th of December. Witness asked him if he had been at the Belle Sauvage on the previous day. The prisoner replied he was there at about four o'clock. Witness then told him that a robbery had been committed: there, and that he (the prisoner) was suspected. The prisoner answered that he knew nothing about it. Wit ness inquired if he had any objection to be searched. The prisoner said, "No ; he would take the things mit of his pocket." He then produced 19s. 6d. in silver from his trousers' pocket, together with some halfpence and a knife, and laid them on the table. He then threw open his clothes, and said, " There, you may search me," at the same time holding his fob pocket in his hand. Witness removed the hand, and in the fob found IS sovereigns, which he said that he had borrowed from his son, whom he had met that morning in Castle-street, Holborn. His son, he said, was a clerk to a law-stationer, but he is not here to day. Told witness that he had not lent him the money. This the witness told the prisoner, who said he should like to see his son,—they, how ever, were not confronted. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was entirely innocent of the crime imputed to him. Mr. Hewitt, a Commander in the Royal Navy, had known the prisoner eight years, and he bore the character of an honest upright man. Mr. John Osset, a merchant in the City of London, had known the prisoner 28 years, and during that period had borne an excellent character. Two other witnesses deposed to the same effect. The RECORDER summed up the case to the Jury, who with out hesitation acquitted the prisoner. Ilenry . Smith was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a certain forged receipt for goods, with intent to defraud Elias Moses on the 28th September, 1831. Isaac Moses deposed that the prisoner was in his service as porter, in the year 1831, when the witness was in partnership with his father Elias Moses. On the 28th September witness sent some parcels of slop clothes by the prisoner, directed to Richard Lee, Huntingdon; another to John Hollingworth, Bir mingham ; and a third to W. Collins, Devizes. The prisoner was to take the parcels, some to the three Cups Booking-office in Al dersgate-street, to the Talbot, Fore-street, and to the White Horse. The prisoner brought back the parcel-book professing to be signed by the clerks at the booking-offices. The value of the goods was about 50!. Thomas Raugley, clerk at the Three Cups booking-office, proved that the signature in the parcel book produced, was not in his hand-writing, nor in that of any other person em ployed at that time in the office. _ The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he stated that he had intrusted the parcels for delivery to a friend whom he had met in the street, and who being out of employ, asked the prisoner for a job. In consequence of discovering that his friend had deceived him, the prisoner through shame and dread had absconded. The RECORDER summed up the evidence to the Jury, who, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was then indicted for feloniously embezzling the sum of 141., the moneys of Elias Moses, his master and employer. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had been intrusted by his master with a check for 141. Is. (id., to get cashed at the banking house of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., Lombard street, and that he absconded with the money. The prisoner made the same defence as in the previous case, attributing the robbery to the man he had also employed to get the cash checked. The Jury immediately pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and the Recorder sentenced the prisoner to be, on the first in. dictment, imprisoned, and kept to hard labour for two years, and on the second indictment to be transported for seven years. James Stevens was indicted for unlawfully breaking and en. tering, on the 7th November, the dwelling-house of Charles Sawyers, with intent to commit a felony. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's clerk, that, on the day named in the indictment, he heard a noise at the office door, as if some one was playing with the key, and presently the door was opened gently by the prisoner, and on seeing witness he asked if Mr. Smith was at home. Witness replied no such person liVed there; upon which the prisoner ran away, and pursued by the witness, and eventually secured and brought back. In the door a key was found, which had been stolen some time before, together with the key of the safe. Mr. STAMMERS, who defended the prisoner, interrupted the examination. He contended that the witness had no right to Assume that the key had been stolen. The RECORDER-DO not interfere, Sir, in this part of the case. Pray sit down, Sir. Mr. STAMMERS-But, my Lord, the witness assumes— The RECORDER—Sit down, Sir : it is most irregular to inter rupt the case in this manner. The witness has said nothing but that which he says he believes to be correct. The witness proceeded to depose, that on the prisoner being brought back he stood with his back to the fire-place, and with his hands behind him, and a noise was heard similar to that which would be produced by a key falling or being thrown against the grate, and on the same evening a key was found by the witness in the fireplace, which proved to be the key of the safe, which had been stolen two months before. A green bag and a chisel were found upon his person. Mr. STAMMERS addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. The RECORDER summed up the evidence to the jury, who, without much deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was forthwith sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Henry Cox, a respectable young man in appearance, was indicted for embezzling 10/. the property of his master, Mr. James Dignam, a solicitor. The embezzlement of W. 7s. was clearly proved, the prosecutor positively swearing that the pri soner told him he had paid the money to Mr. Waters, an officer of the King's Bench, for Court fees, and that gentleman swearing as positively that he had not. The prisoner read a pathetic and well written defence, in which, while he admitted that his conduct might have been characterized with impudence and thoughtlessness, he posi tively denied that he had any design to rob or injure the pro secutor. The COMMON SERGEANT charged the Jury, who, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty, but very strongly recommended him to mercy, believing that it was his intention to return the money. The COMMON..SERGEANT concurred with the Jury in that opinion; but he was afraid there were such strong circum stances against the prisoner that the recommendation could not be attended to. He had been informed that two former masters of the prisoner, named Spencer and Smith, had simi lar charges against him. On the Learned JUDGE asking the prisoner if he thought those gentlemen would say anything in his favour, he said he thought Mr. Spence would. The COMMON-SERGEANT—Then I think the sooner you get him here the better for yourself; for if he does not say some thing material in your favour you will be transported. The prisoner was tried in the Old Court on Saturday, on the charge of forging a receipt, and acquitted, as he was this morning upon an indictment charging him with stealing 101. WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF PLATE.—John Stone was indicted for stealing, on the 3d of December, plate of the value of 300/. and upwards, the property of John Mitchell, Esq., a Russian merchant, of Charles-street, Berkeley-square, in whose service the prisoner had been a few days as under butler. Mr. ADOLPHUS, with whom was Mr. PHILLIPS, stated the case for the prosecution. Robert Bell, examined by Mr. Phillips—Was in the service of Mr. Mitchell, as butler, who resided at 42, Charles-street, Berkeley.square. The prisoner was under butler and had been so 10 days. The plate was kept in the pantry, and on the day in question having occasion to go into the city, left the prisoner i n care of the plate, which was in a press and chest. All the plate was safe on the Sunday. Before he went out on the Tues day saw the plate in general use, quite safe. Left the pri soner in the pantry when he went out. Orr the Monday previous the prisoner asked witness if a cover which he was cleaning was silver. Witness said it was. The prisoner re. plied he could not see the stamp. 'Witness said that two of the covers were English silver and the other two were foreign. The prisoner asked which was the best. Witness replied English was allowed to be the best. On the Sunday he asked witness if the trays were silver, to which he said they were not, but the edges were. When witness went into the City the prisoner told him he need not hurry, as he would take care there should be nothing to do when he came back, Witness returned SMITHFIELI This day's supply of Beasts at of Calves and Porkers limited, out, at the following prices:- ,ID hIARKET. nd Sheep was moderately good, and the trade was dull through.

The key, which was usually placed in a particular place was not to be found ; he immediately went to his mistress, who desired him to break open the pantry door; found all the plate, which was used daily, gone. Searched further, and missed fifty table spoons, forty-two large forks, twelve dessert forks, twenty-seven dessert spoons, four salt spoons, three soup ladles, fourteen dessert forks, two negus ladles, pair of sugar tongs, embossed tea-pot, cream pot, sugar basin, fifteen tea spoons, and a great number of other articles. The trays, which were not silver, had not been removed. and the prisoner was not to be found. Delivered to the pri soner since he had been in custody some linen, which the laundress had to wash at the time the prisoner absconded, but which he never called for. Saw the prisoner in custody, and on asking him the cause of his leaving, he said he had done nothing, but he had been out and got drunk, and did not like to return. He said he had been since to many places. The witness put other questions to him, but he said he would not answer any questions. Had asked him some questions about the robbery. The plate that was missed was worth 300/. Cross-examined by the Prisoner—there were people at work in the house who might have got into the pantry. The key of the chest in which the plate was kept was among others on a bunch, and nobody but the prisoner could tell the key. On returning found the bunch of keys where he left it. Mr. John Mitchell, jun. resided with his father in Berkeley square. Had some plate ai the house of his father, all of which was missing. Never authorised the prisoner to remove any plate. _ . Cross-examined by the prisoner-=-Received a good character with the prisoner. Elizabeth Bridges, lady's maid in the service of Mr. Mitchell. This witness corroborated the evidence of the head butler as to the plate being safe in thepress In the pantry, and uhich upon her going out she left the prisoner. Cross-examined by the prisoner—lt was possible that some person might have gone to the pantry and removed the plate other than the prisoner. Sarah Turner, house-maid, saw the prisoner place some thing on the dresser behind the door, which made a noise like plate, something like spoons and forks. Ann Lowe, kitchen-maid—Saw the prisoner on the day the plate was missing. About a quarter past three o'clock, was taking in some fish, when the prisoner came to her and said, Mrs. Turner is out, and Mr. Bell is out I suppose, and asked,tor some silver, and pointing his finger to the area door, he said, if that bell should ring, answer it; and also stated, do you know which way Mrs. Turner is gone, and how long she will be as she has gone to help a young friend to cook a dinner ? The prisoner then went away, and witness saw him come out of the servant's hall, with his bat in his hand, and proceed towards the area gate, which was near the pantry door. Could not tell whether he went into the pantry or out of the door. Could not see the pantry-door from the situation in which she was. The prisoner left the house before the fishmonger departed. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain during the past week were tolerably good, and the trade remained dull at former prices for nearly every article in the trade. This morning there are few fresh supplies, with a moderate atten. dance of buyers. The trade for fine dry Wheat has again met a small improvement, but other qualities remain as last quoted, with little doing. Barley, for malting, has fully maintained last quotations, other kinds are rather lower. Beans meet so limited a demand, that the prices are almost nominal. Pease of both kinds are dull, and rather lower. Oats are in tolerable plenty, and the trade remains dull, at Is. per quarter decline from the terms of this day se'nnight. The Flour trade is firm for such parcels as are good, and prices remain as last reported. PRICES ON BOA RD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s.

Though the supply of Wheat from our Farmers to-day was more moderate than of late, yet the coasting arrivals during the week were considerable, and the Market closed heavily, though with little change on the rates of last Saturday. The Oat trade was very dull, and looking lower. A good deal of Bar ley continues to sell, but the supplies exceed the fair demand, and that article is very heavy at our quotations. Fine parcels of Malt find buyers. Rye much wanted. Very little demand for Beans and Peas. The late large arrivals of Flour have made the trade very dull, and lower Is. per sack. New. Old.

The chapel was crowded, and the amount received was nearly 3001. Miss Lloyd, executed the songs allotted to her with her usual excellence. Her fine rich-toned voice told in " Sing ye to the Lord,' and that great sacred sacred song of Gueglielmi, "Gratias Agimus." Mr. Mach:a sang "He layeth the beams" beautifully.

Despatches for Lord Nugent, the Lord High Commis., sioner of the lonian Islands, for the Lieutenant-Governor f Malta, and also for the Earl of Mulgrive, at Jimaiea, and the Governors of the West India Islands, were sent ff from the Colonial-office on Saturday evening. A meeting of the Judicial Committee of the Pt ivy Council was held on Satorday in the Council-chamber. The Lords present were the Right Hons. Sir L. Shad well, Sir J. Parke, Sir J. Bosanquet, Sir T. Erskine, Sir E. East, and Sir A. Johnston. The Hon. W. Bathurst was the C!erk of the Council in Waiting. The appeal from the Sadder Dewanny Adawlut, at Fort Will am, in 13enty,s1, between G. J. Gordon, lecutor of Futteh Yab Khan appellant, and Khajeh Alm° Ma homed Khan, and others, respondents, which had been port heard at a former meeting, was resumed. Mr. B:ck ersteth and Dr. Lushington were heard for the appellant Mr. Sergeant Spankie appeared for the respondents. The total claim of the appellant, as %rite , ' in a plaint to the Patna Provincial C , urt in 1817, amounted to a sum of 23 lacs and 84 000 rupees, equal to 238,0001., being one-fourth of the property (and accumulation) left hy Shalibaz Beg Khan, by virtue of an order of the Patna Provincial Council in 1777, which adjudged to Nadira Beguan, widow of the deceased (now represent, d by Mr. Gordon), 3 shares (of 12) of cettain property of Shahbaz Beg Khan ; and as to extensive landed property (altumgha mehauls), 3 shares (o 112), as aforesaid, from the produce annually during her natural life. In 1796 Nadira Begot/a applied to the City Court of Patna to enforce her claim of the one fourth amount (note represented by the respondents); this suit was dism:s.ed Amy the Court, because, under the judicial !Tettl ition of the Bengal Government, a claim is not admissible that is of more than 12 years' standing, while the decree of the Patna Council, on which Nadira 13-gum rested her el ,itn, hole date 1777, a term of nearly 20 years, and Nadira Blum had never sued out the execution of the decree in question before the institution of the action. In 1819 the Judges of the Patna Provincial Court decided, that as once the claim of the appellants to the property sued for hid ben dismi-sed by the city of Adawlut, their suit was not admissible by an Adawlut for the eame property. The second Judge of the Sudder Dewanny Adawlut gave judgment in 1820, that the suit should be entertained and heard, being of opinion that the regulations did not debar a person in whose favour a decree of long standing may have been pronounced from exhibiting the decree as his docu ment, and suing de novo. Several other decisions, at different periods, have been pronounced in the same Court, some in favour of the responden's, others allowing the appellant's claim. The nature of the original grant of the altumgha lands by the sovereign power who ::ranted them to the deceased was discus,ed before their Lordships. The decision of their Lordships was, that in any case the appellants were barred by the lapse of time in bringing their suit ; the decree of the Court below must therefore be affirmed ; but as there was a difference among the decisions of the Judges in the Courts below, the decree should be affirmed without costs. The appeal " Goopee Mobun Takoor v. Raja Radhanat," from Bengal, was opened by Mr. Bielicrstetli. Their Lordships adjourned. BRIGHTON, JAN. 5.
