BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 20.—The Marquis of Stafford, ex- Viceroy of Ireland, and father of the British Envoy at the Hague, has come to settle at Brussels with his numerous family. He has taken the title o f Prince de Chimay. The marriage of Mademoiselle Honore, of Mons, to M. de Rigny, Minister of Foreign Affairs in France, is to take place at Paris at the end of this month. M. and Madame de Rigny intend to come, immediately after their mar riage, to pass some time on an estate near Mons belonging to Madame de Rigny.—Courier Beige, Sept. 21. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 26.—1 t is probable that there is no place where people are so ill informed respecting the affairs of Syria than here ; the Porte itself seems to have no accurate information of the events in that country. Sometimes it is reported that the insurrection is wholly suppressed ; that the insurgents have im plored and obtained the pardon of Mehemet Ali ; then again that both parties were watching each other, and an interval of apparent tranquillity had commenced, but that the pretensions of the insurgents were the same, and that they were preparing to obtain by force what was re fused them. Thus it has happened that I announced to you on the defeat of the insurgents, their submission, and the concessions said to have been made to them by Mehe met Ali, and that I have to-day almost to call in question the truth and accuracy of their statements. The accounts eceived yesterday are of the following tenor :—" 'Mohamed Ali had embarked at Jaffa with a Very small retinue, and nad arrived on the 2d of August at Alexandria in very bad spirits, and had then given orders to send all the troops that could be spared to Syria, in order to reinforce his son's army, and place it on such a footing that it might be able, on the recovery of Ibrahim who is said to lie dangerously ill at Acre, to act on the offensive, and reduce the still obstinate Syrians to obedience. Mehemet had, at the same time, ordered a levy of recruits, more numerous than any of the preceding, and which clearly indicates that the war in Syria is by no means ended, but requires the greatest exertion on the part of Egypt." The above is a literal extract from a letter of a Consular agent to a foreign legation here. The Porte seems to have received similar communica tions from Alexandria, and also to have information from the theatre of war. So great fermentation still prevails, that the Syrians continue to arm, and declare those to be traitors to their cause who enter into friendly relations with Mehemet or Ibrahim, before their just demands shall be granted. They are said to be still ready to sacrifice everything for the recovery of their ancient rights ; and, for this purpose, to have formed an alliance among the several tribes, which enabled them to defy the power of Mehemet Ali : this account is very inconsistent with those which have been received by several Greek mer chants.- We do not know who is right ; the Porte seems to be convinced that the fortune of war has abandoned ?Mehemet Ali, and that his authority is recognized only in those parts of Syria, where he has a large force ; for within these few days the arming of the fleet has been resumed, and it is said that it will shortly sail to hinder the sending of fresh troops from Alexandria to the Asiatic coast. This would be a most hazardous enterprise, and appears to me to be improbable, because the Allied Powers do not ap prove of the Sultan's interfering in the affairs of Syria, and because the English fleet is still at Vourla, seeming to wait only for the moment when the Turkish fleet shall put to sea, and attempt to act against Mehemet Ali, to render it for ever powerless. The Sultan is not so unwise as to give both friends and enemies ground for complaint, and he will, therefore, probably wait quietly to see what advantages may accrue to him from the disturbed state of Syria. Meantime, the armaments of the Ottoman Porte are a certain indication of the state of affairs in Syria, and we are curious to see whether they will continue. I hope to give you more information in my next. The plague rages terribly here ; all the quarters of the capital are infected. In Pera, the communications with the inha bitants are restricted as much as possible, and all the usual precautions adopted. The plague has also broken out in Adrianople, and in several places between the Balkan and the Danube. VIENNA SEPT. 12.—Five per Cent. Mettalliques, 99 ; Foui per Cent.

The number of its members amounted to 230. Very important questions were dis cussed, and amongst them, whether there was more of ad vantage or inconvenience in employing the troops on public works, and particularly on the roads, which was decided in favour of such employment, after a mature consideration. which occupied the whole of two sittings. The Congress also entered upon a question which affects the purity and wholesomeness of literature, and upon which the following resolution was come to :—" The Scientific Congress of France, sitting at Poitiers, feels it its duty to declare the disgust it has felt at the immorality which degrades many of the literary productions of the present day. It ex presses its hopes that in future, authors, to whatever school they may belong, will not depart from those rules which are established by good sense and propriety. They call upon every man who believes that the fine arts and literature ought to be directed to the improvement of mankind, to concur with them in. endeavouring to effect a reform of this evil." The agricultural section pre sented to the consideration of the Congress a resolution it had come to, that salt may be beneficially used in feeding cattle, and in improving land, and consequently that the tax upon this article, which prevents its being so used, ought to be reduced. The Congress concurred in this resolution, and recommended that the Government should be applied to, to grant the agricultural committees a certain quantityof salt duty free, for the purpose of making experiments. Finally, the Congress declared its wishes that the French Academy at Rome should be suppressed, being no longer of any utility, and stating that it would have great satisfac tion if the Quinquennial Pension, granted by the Govern ment to the laureates, was still continued to them, with the privilege of visiting, without restriction, such places as they may be led to by their natural genius. The proceedings of the Congress have proved that this fine institution cannot fail to increase the welfare and happiness of society. The meeting closed with a collection for the benefit of poor pri soners. It was decided that the Congress shall assemble next year at Douay. M. Louis de Jivenchy was appointed to be the Secretary.—French Paper. DREADFUL WHIRLWIND. • On Thursday evening the village of Breadlow, Buck ingham, was visited by a most dreadful storm. The day, up to that period, had been remarkably fine, when on a sudden the sky became overcast, with thunder and lightning. The whirlwind, which appeared to come from the Chiltern hills, raged for a few minutes with terrific violence. A post chaise on the road was turned quite round, and the rider thrown off the horse a considerable distance. Chimneys and trees were blown down ; a poor man who was milking a cow in a shed was forced against the wall with such vio lence as to fracture his ribs, and a large wheat stack was taken off the frame and carried into a pond ; an orchard on the road leading to Ivinghoe was much damaged ; about thirty of the trees were torn up by the roots, and, falling across the road, rendered it for some time impassable. About six o'clock the wind became still more terrific, and raged for about three minutes. Houses were totally dis mantled of the tiles, chimneys were blown down, barns thrown over, and their contents carried a distance of three miles. Trees which had borne the brunt of many a storm for upwards of a century were torn from their mother earth. A barn consisting of three bays, belonging to Mr. Rack straw, was carried away, and the floor, weighing upwards of two tons, wrested from its fastening, and forced into a re versed position. Mr. Rackstraw's son was at the time milkin g in a cow-shed, when the wind completely carried the shed a distance of nearly thirty yards, leaving the lad and cows uninjured. Two barns, * belonging to Mr. Wil liams and Mr. Cooting, were also wrested from their fasten ing and carried some distance. A lad at school was struck by a branch of a tree which had come 100 yards with such violence as to fracture his thigh. The school-room is also much damaged, scarcely a whole pane of glass remaining. The damage in this instance is estimated at 201. The loss sustained in the village of Ivinghoe is estimated at from 1,1001. to 1,2001., independent of any calculation in respect of the timber and fruit-trees destroyed.—Herts county Press. HEREFORD MUSIC MEETING.—In the Cathedral the first morning the company consisted of 603 persons ; the second, 736 ; and the third, 748. The collection amounted to 6761., being 541. less than at the meeting in 1831, and 101/. less than at that of 1828. It is probable that by further dona tions this year's collection will be raised to 7001. The expenses of the orchestra exceeded by 500/. those of the last meeting ; but the expenses to the stewards will not be materially greater than on that occasion. Saturday an inquest was held at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of John Boyle, between 50 and 60 years of age, who f o r a long time swept the road -crossing in South ampton-row. Russell-square. On the 4th instant a van, laden with vegetables turned towards the corner of Bloomsbury - - place into Southampton-row, at a quick walking pace, and the shaft knocked the deceased down, who was looking another way. The wheels did not pass over him, but on his being taken up blood flowed from his right arm, and he exclaimed to a shopman of Mr. Henderson, fishmonger, of Upper King street, " Oh, Andrew, lam dying." On being taken to the hospital, it appeared that his right side and arm were frac tured. He died on Thursday. The driver of the . van, at the time of the accident, was looking back to see if the horse had cleared the corner. Verdict—" Accidental death."

S • rb u:L LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1934. The shifts of poor Sharp, in the Farce of the Lying Valet, when with a clean larder, an unfurnished board, an empty cellar, an exhausted exchequer, and no credit, he sets about to prepare a sumptuous supper for Justice Guttle, and the rest of his master's guests, are mere trifles, when compared with the laughable straits to which some of our very sapient contemporaries are re duced in their efforts to trump up some charge—to throw out some suspicion which may lessen the confi dence which the country reposes in the honesty, the firmness, the zeal, and the talents of the Lord CHAN CELLOR. At one time he is a second Sir Pertinax itlacsycophant, who made his way in the world by " booing"—who " never in his life could stand straight i' th' presence of a great mon ;" and when the country cries "Shame, shame !"—remembering his treat ment of certain illustrious personages who presumed too much on the privileges of royal birth,—it is then found out that he is a counterpart of Young Clacket in the comedy of the Guardian, or a sort of learned precep tor, of talents, tone, and temper, to direct the studies of Dick the apprentice. It would have been of infinite service to the traducers of Lord BROUGHAM, had his Lordship been previously less taken up with exposing the imperishable pedestal on which his greatness rests. It had been mighty fine to have been able to ask, " What has his Lordship done for his country, that he should be so reverenced ? Where are the proofs of his talents ? where the records of his genius ? where the monuments of his knowledge ? where the traces of his oratory ?" What a world of babbling—of empty noise—of low, base, and contemptible shuffling—of se lf-degradation—would have been spared to our con temporaries, could such questions as these be proposed for public solution. But there is nothing left them to urge in this quarter. Even malignity must invoke the aid of invention, and that, when taxed to the utmost, rises no higher—produces no more than scurrilous oppro brium, based on low innuendo and false insinuation. There is nothing which even malice can prey upon about the open, manly, straightforward, honest bear ing of Lord BROUGHAM. What he does, he does in the face of the country ; what he resolves to do, he declares in the presence of multitudes ; and what he thinks on all political subjects, he announces in the hearing of nations. But his Lordship's calumniators, though hardly beset, are not to be beaten out of a field, where truth is the only weapon employed against them. They know, as well as Fast - tiff himself, that honour is no healer of broken bones—no filler of empty purses—no mender of cracked reputations, and there fore they will contrive to do both without it and con science on the present occasion. With respect to the LORD CHANCELLOR, they will act up to the virtu ous, high, and chivalrous resolve of the redoubtable Petruchio, when about to woo the amiable daughter of old Baptista— " Say that she rail ; why then I'll tell her plain, She sings as sweetly as a nightingale : Say that she frown ; I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly washed with dew: Say she be mute, and will not speak a word ; Then I'll commend her volubility, And say she uttereth piercing eloquence." Substitute he for she in these lines, and apply the pro noun to the LORD CHANCELLOR, and you have the spirit of the determined right or wrong opposition to his Lordship's future public conduct which now actuates the majority of that portion of the public Press now leagued against him. They kno w that they dare not, for their own sakes, tamper with the public too far in a direct way ; but motives may be always ques tioned with a show of reason, and doubts of sincerity may be expressed without hazard, even when the act which forms a handle for scepticism in moral worth, relates to affairs of which man ought not lightly to take cognizance. At present, however, they are safe in being as scurrilous as they may think proper. LORD CHANCELLOR ha.: given them legitimate cause for abuse in avowing himself opposed to the stamp duties on newspapers ; in. neglecting to rain down a shoWer of honours on the heads and heels of those who were his quondam worshippers ; and in daring to act in conformity with the dictates of his conscience after being fully reminded of the direful consequences, from the creators and the created of leading journals of every shade of opinion. Mere is, therefore, nothing sur prising in finding newspaper bullies address Lord BROUGHAM in the eloquent language of their great prototype in oratory and reasoning, Jack Cade, when passing sentence upon Lord Say : " Now art thou within: point blank of our jurisdiction regal. Be it knowh unto thee by these presents that I am the besom that must sweep the court clear of such filth as thou art. Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar school ; and whereas before our forefathers had no other books but the score and the talley, thou hast caused printing to be used; and, contrary to the king, his crown and dignity, thou has built a paper mill. It will be proved to thy face that thou hast men about thee ' that usually talk of a noun and a verb, and such abominable words as no Christian ear can endure to hear." The This includes a summary of the articles of Lord BROUGHAM'S impeachment, and we fear he has no chance of being able to defend himself against charges so incontrovertible. The CHANCELLOR is undoubt edly guilty of conspiring against ancestorial ignorance; consequently he is " point blank with the jurisdiction regal" of the newspaper monopolists. Some of the attempts made by our contemporaries to bring the CIIANctLLoR under the balm of public opi nion, are particularly worthy of regard, from the satisfac tory manner in which they expose the little mean de tractions to which his calumniators are sometimes obliged to resort. At the great dinner given to Lords GREY and BROUGHAM in Edinburgh, FRANCIS JEFFREY, the• late Lord-Advocate, now a Judge, was not present ; and immediately it was discovered that he was on unfriendly terms with the CHANCELLOR. Now the truth was, the dinner, strictly speaking, was a political one, and the only cause which prevented the late Lord-Advocate from being present, was the consideration that his appearance at such feasts would not accord with the character of a Judge. Previous to the dinner Mr. JEFFREY had paid his respects to Lord 8R07.:(37:.‘m, and they both publicly walked to gether to church. They also dined in company, and in no way whatever has the harmony, which has so long subsisted between them, been in the slightest degree disturbed. This, perhaps, may be regarded as a trifling circum stance, but the use that has been made of it by those who traduce Lord BROUGHAM, will sufficiently justify the present notice of it. Had the late LORD ADVO CATE been present at the dinner, we should have had our ears stunned for months to come, with complaints of the political partizanship of Judges—the staining of the ermine—and a hundred other charges, all bearing on the same point ; nor would we ourselves have felt any great desire to witness such conduct. This the late LORD ADVOCATE knew ; and, therefore, he wisely resolved not to peril his own reputation by ap pearing in an assembly where he could not have ab stained from the expression of political opinions, which, coming from a Judge, might give of fence to a large and influential portion of his countrymen. And for this Lord BROJJGHAM is attacked—his sincerity is impeached—his honesty questioned—his talents scouted—and all because his Noble Friend and former colleague had not sunk the character of the judge in the notoriety of the advocate for party triumphs. The day is not distant, however, when the country will take a very different view of the conduct of the able and talented JEFFREY from that of attributing it to any private or personal feeling. Such conduct must command respect to the laws, and confi dence in the impartiality of their administration. To the late LORD ADVOCATE nothing could have been more personally agreeable than the introducing of his late noble and illustrious colleagues to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, but his office forbad it, and his sacrifice of feeling to principle must raise him in the estimation of his countrymen. As to the LORD CHANCELLOR, he has only to pursue the same course in which he has moved for the last fifteen years, to ensure him the lasting gratitude of the people of the United Kingdom. The Paris Papers of Sunday have been received by express. They are unusually dull—so heavy, or rather so barren both in news and sprightliness of spirit, that we are almost tempted to believe LOUIS PHILIPPE has issued private instructions that the juice of the poppy should supersede the blood of the grape in the direction of Parisian periodical literature. Even scandal is speechless ; while political rancour licks the feet of power. Rumours there are, but so vague, and many of them so very trifling, that it would be a waste of time to notice them. The only occurrence at present worthy of notice, is the publica tion of a circular by M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of Commerce, addressed to the Commercial Chambers in the various trading towns in France, apprising them of his determination to bring forward a draft of a new law during the next sitting of the Legislative Chambers, for the purpose of making con siderable alterations in the customs' duties. The French Journalists appear at a loss to understand what the Minister means by the publication of this circular; but to us it seems quite clear that he only wishes to gather the general opinions respecting the present operation of those taxes on the provincial trade. The publication of his intention will most certainly call forth a general expression of the sentiments entertained by those on whom the new law will chiefly operate, which, of course, will enable him to consult for the interest of all parties. This so obvious a view of the question is even announced in the body of the circu lar, as the Minister prays the co-operation of the Chamber, with a full expression of whatever conclu sions a previous inquiry into the subject will enable them to arrive at. It is not expected that France will benefit as much as she ought from this projected, but most necessary, change in the law of commercial taxation. The country is evidently at the mercy of the stock jobbers, who have every thing, and will continue, during the reign of Louis PHILLIPPE, to have every thing their own way. The KING is in point of fact a Royal money-jobber, more solicitous of filling his purse than of preserving and extending the liberties of his people. We see clearly how it will be. Some thing will be done—just enough to excite public atten tion, and awaken national expectation—but not a suffi ciency to satisfy the just demands of the people. The accounts from Spain, yid Paris, are by no means satisfactory. The war still continues in the provinces, and though the Carlists are beaten in every engagement, still the Queen's forces are not sufficiently numerous to garrison the towns, and consequently the moment they are called away to defend one place, the Carlists take possession of the quarters they have left, robbing the people, levying contributions on pro perty, and committing all manner of excessive cruelties. In this deplorable condition are. four of the Spanish provinces, so that unless France and England inter fere, the war may go on for several months to come. In our extracts from the French papers we have given from the Journal des Debats, with the editor's re marks, an article of the Bulletin of Guiposcoa, a Spa nish journal, which will be read with general interest. It contains a summary of the civil war in Spain from its commencement, with some very sensible and very able remarks on the only speedy and efficacious means of terminating it. We need not remind the public of the many times we have urged the sound policy of adopting the precise line of conduct recommended in the following extract from the Spanish article : " Although we should undoubtedly give the preference to the employment of national forces, still it appears to us that in the actual state of Spain, the desired effect would be more promptly produced by the means of foreign intervention, which should not extend its operations beyond the Ebro. The blindness of the rebels is so great, that in spite of the proofs daily given them of the vigilance of the French Go vernment, and its determination to prevent the entry into Spain of arms, horses, ammunition, or any other article of a warlike nature, they continually flatter themselves with the hope of being supported by the French in their enterprise. This infatuation, which the Chiefs do all in their power to maintain, will never be dispelled but by a'practical demon stration on the part of the French Government, and also of the English Government, in support of Queen Isabel, and the presence of a French army on the Spanish territory would be sufficient to confound the rebels, and cause the arms to fall from their hands. If such a demonstration had taken place at the beginning, we should have been spared all the misfortunes we now deplore ; but if made even now, we shall be spared those calamities which we shall otherwise be sure to experience. Is it not a matter of despair for good citizens to be reduced to the sad conviction that the means employed up to the present day will not crush the insurrec tion until after the complete ruin of the four provinces, and that the song of victory will only be raised over tombs and desolation ? All feeling of national vanity, however noble in its source, ought to yield to the consideration of so dreadful a catastrophe. We who live upon the spot, who see with our own eyes the fatal progress of the disorder, and have every motive to proclaim its severity--we do not understand how the national honour would be tarnished by the collection of a few auxiliary troops, which would crush at one blow the insurrec tion in the north." The soundness of this course is so manifest—the necessity of it so obvious, that we do not understand for what reason any rational being can be opposed to it. Some say that the recollection of the atrocities committed by the French soldiery in Spain, during the triumph of the Empire, is so graven on the hearts of the people, that they would prefer sub mitting to any evil from their own countrymen rather than again behold themselves in the power of such deliverers. This may be true, but it is not just that such impressions should be suffered to exist, and the best way to eradicate them would be by French interference properly and mercifully exerted. The Spaniards would find Frenchmen a very different people passing through their country as auxiliaries, from what they found them as foes under the stern command of NAPOLEON. It will be seen from onr extracts from the Ger man Papers, that the Emperor of RUSSIA has postponed, for another year, his intended foreign journey to the confines of his own territories in the East. His Imperial Majesty has more reasons for declining this expedition than are yet known to the Journalists in Petersburgh. The Eagle of the North meditated a Royal flight, and anticipated pouncing upon prey worthy of his wing, beak, and talons, but he was intercepted before he had had time to expand a feather. Had his Imperial Majesty been so fortunate as to have found his way to the neighbourhood of Constantinople, on pretence of being the chief of a Royal pleasure party, the SUBLIME PORTE would not be long unacquainted with the dis tance between them. But France and England by ap pearing in the Bosphorus, dispelled the gorgeous dream of Eastern conquests. The appearance of the British flag, as if unfurled to receive him beneath it, was by no means suited to the taste or the temper of the CZAR. He wanted no such officious attention as the English and French squadrons were prepared to offer him, and therefore he has thought proper to remain at home for another season. This ought to teach the Govern ments of England and France a very useful lesson. His Majesty's sloop of war Nautilus has arrived at Falmouth, from Lisbon. Don PEDRO'S health was improving. A small squadron had been dispatched for the Duke DE LE ICHTENBERG, the fortunate husband (elect) of the young Queen DONNA MARIA. •. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1834 DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCE. This forenoon a few minutes past 11 o'clock, a cab sud denly started from the Stand, in Adelaide-street, opposite St. Martin's Church, while the driver was doing something to the bridle. The horse darted off at full speed in the direction of the Strand, to the consternation of those who witnessed the scene. It was a moment of dreadful apprehension—for a number of ladies and young people were just coming up from the Golden Cross, and were so close to the corner where the horse and cab must in an instant pass, that people had hardly time or presence of mind to warn them of their imminent danger. Two seconds more and the horse and cab would have been in the midst of them, dealing death, when fortunately the box where the driver sits, caught the lamp post at the corner, and in a moment the cab was whirled topsy turvy on the pavement with a tremendous shock— the horse was disentangled by the concussion, but such was the impetuosity of his speed—it being down hill—that he actually performed a somerset several feet from the ground and fell, a distance of at least twenty feet from the lamp-post, in the middle of the Strand 1 It was thought the horse was killed, and attention was turned to those in danger. Happily they all escaped ; but before they could well feel assured of their safety the horse recovered his legs, and dashed down at full speed towards Charing-cross, where he ran against a poor boy, and then proceeded down Parliament-street. The boy was carried to the hospital in a state of insensibility, and with but faint hopes of life. The escape of the passengers was truly miraculous, for two minutes had not elapsed from the time the horse started from the Strand till he got out of sight at Charing-cross. The cab, No. 811, was of course much damaged and the shafts broken. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. (FROM L LOY D'S.) DEAL, SEPT. 22. —Wind N.

THE WEST INDIES.—From the second volume of Mr. Montgomery Martin's History of the British Colonies, we learn, that our West India possessions are 177,140 square miles ; that they contain 74,240 white, and 884,600 coloured inhabitants ; that thei r revenues amount to 541,5001., and their expenditure to 551,600/. ; that their imports are worth 5,806,4001., their exports 9,932,500/. ; that the property yearly created is 21,972,5491., and that the whole existing property, moveable and immovable, is estimated at 126,690,006/. MIDDLESEX (INTERMEDIATE) SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Thomas Morgan was indicted for embezzling, at different leriods, various sums of money, the property of his master, dr. Thomas Dexter, a milkman. The prosecutor resides in Red Lion Street, and the prisoner was employed by him to carry out milk. He received the different sums named in the indictment from his master's cus tomers, and appropriated them to his own use. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, and the jury found him Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to two months imprisonment and hard labour, four weeks of that period to be spent in soli tary confinement, and to be twice whipped. John Lucas, a boy 13 years of age, was convicted of steal ing a pair of shoes, value 25., the property of James Mepham. The prisoner in his defence said that another boy had stolen the shoes, and given them to him. The Court sentenced him to one week's solitary confine ment, and to be once soundly whipped. 31ary Doyley was convicted of stealing a gown, the pro perty of Wm. Naylor Morrison. The Court sentenced her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Two weeks of that period to be kept in solitary confinement. Charles Smith was indicted for stealing a pocket handker chief, value 55., the property of Mr. John Barnett. The prosecutor was going with a friend along Charter house-lane on the 27th of August, when he felt a tug at his pocket, and on turning round saw the prisoner behind him. On charging him with the robbery, the prisoner stoutly denied any knowledge of it. On being further pressed, he produced the handkerchief from under his waistcoat. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to fourteen days' solitary confinement. Samuel Swift, aged 23, was indicted with stealing on the 28th of August a watch, value 155., the property of Jane Earl. The prosecutrix stated that on the dsy in question her watch was hanging in the kitchen window. She had not left the room many minutes before the watch was taken away. On cross-examination by Mr. PRENDERGAST, the prosecu trix stated that she had several lodgers in her house. The apprentice of the pawnbroker at whose house the watch was pledged, believed the prisoner to be the man who brought the watch to his shop. William Harris purchased the ticket, of the watch from the prisoner. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had bought the ticket' from another person in a public-house. The jury acquitted the prisoner. EXPENCES OF WITNESSES. In the course of the morning several persons who were in service as clerks and shopmen, applied to the Court to be al lowed their expences. The CHAIRMAN said it was too bad where persons were in employment, and the receipt of regular wages, to put the county to an expense of 3s. 6d. a day, when they were no thing out of pocket, and sometimes not detained more than one hour. • One person stated that he should not be home before dark, as he lived at Marylebone. The CHAIRMAN said it was only 12 o'clock, and he could, if he chose, be at home long before that period. He was how ever, afraid, if he allowed him his expenses, that he would not reach home before night, as he would be sure to stop on the road, for many persons made a holiday, when they had to at tend the Court, at the expense of the county ; such a practice must be put an end to; in future the Court would not allow expenses beyond money out of pocket, to persons who were in the receipt of regular wages, and who, in point of fact, lost nothing by attending the Court. The annual charge to the county, under the head of witness's expenses, was most enor mous, and must be reduced. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Edmund Scott and James Parish were charged before Sir F. ROE with violently assaulting a police-constable in the discharge of his duty. Thomas Rowland F 76, stated that last night about eight o'clock he wag on duty in Strand-lane, where he saw a man knock his wife down, and jump upon her. He interfered to save the woman, when the prisoner Scott came up and struck him on the face several times. He was about to defend him self when the waterman, Parish, interfered, took hold of his hands and prevented him from drawing his staff—he also held him while Scott struck him several blows. A gentleman from Birmingham, named Philip Smith, saw the transaction, and corroborated the complainant. Sir F. ROE, with the concurrence of the Rev. Mr. THURSBY, fined each in the penalty of 50s. ; and in default of payment, to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two months. John Wilson, driver of the hackney-coach 714, or 1714, for he gave both numbers, was charged with creating a distur bance last night, at the box entrance of the English Opera House. . The constable of the Theatre said the prisoner was very drunk, and when the theatre was over abused every one who came out. By his violent conduct he caused a crowd to assemble. The MAGISTRATE ordered him to find bail for the distur bance, and directed his master to be sent for, so that he might be further punished for leaving his coach. Thomas Rogers was charged with stealing a pair of shoes from a young boy named Aberdeen, a cousin of his. The boy stated that he met his cousin last night about eight o'clock, in Holborn ; he told him that he was going to get a pair of shoes made the same as his, and wanted the boy to lend him them for a sample. He took them off and went away, saying he would return presently; the boy waited for an hour, and then went home on his bare feet. Brooks, the constable was informed of the affair, and took the prisoner into custody. Upon him he found a duplicate for a pair of shoes pledged for 2s. The pawnbroker, who produced them, and the boy's mother, identified them as her property. The prisoner declined to say anything, and was fully com mitted to Newgate for trial. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The only arrivals this morning are French and Hamburg mails, with the express from Paris. Two ships have likewise arrived from Jamaica, which sailed on the Ist August; conse quently they do not bring any further information than pre viously received. The express from Paris brings two telegraphic despatches, dated the 19th and 20th inst., from Bayonne. The first states that Zumalacarregui was on the 16th at Munarin, but it is not stated where Don Carlos had taken his station. The second despatch states that the cholera is making great ravages at Bilboa, where 100 persons die per day: and the insurrection was not making progress in Biscay. By the Hamburg mail we learn that the Spanish Securities have experienced a further &cline. nip FUNDS. The failure announced yesterday of a bill broker caused some excitement on the Royal Exchange, as it was generally stated to be to a very large amount. At first it was attributed to the house having speculated to a 'considerable extent in the Spa nish Funds, and could not pay the differences on the decline of the above Stock but upon inquiry, we learn that their specu lations in the Spanish Stock have not been to any great ex tent, and the stoppage is entirely owing to having Indorsed bad bills to a considerable amount, which, when due, were dis honoured. Spanish Stock continues to be heavy : it left off yesterday at 51 ; opened at 51+ ; soon after receded to 50 sellers, since which a re-action has taken place, and it is at present 501.. The various reports current yesterday on 'Change that the Cortes had adopted the Report of the Finance Committee, turn out to be a fabrication. Accounts from Madrid were reported to have been received of the 15th of insurrectionary movements in that capital, which the French papers contradict. Portuguese Stock, 80a Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 90i for the Account, with little doing at present. QUARTER-PAST TWELVE. Spanish Stock, which receded to 50+ 4-, has since improved to 51i ; Portuguese, 81. Consols, 96/1 HALF-PAST ONE. We this moment learn on 'Change that there is an arrival from Lisbon, by express, with an account that the Marriage Act has passed the Chambers ; and a ship is immediately to be despatched for the Prince of Leichtenburg. Also that Don Pedro has improved in his health. Spanish Stock, which was in the early part of the morning very heavy at 503-, is at present 52i. We cannot account, as yet, for this sudden start. Portuguese has improved to 811 owing to the above information. Consols continue steady at 90i for the Account, with little doing. THREE 0' CL 0 CA. Consols for the Account, 90 THE FUNDS.—C .

FINE ARTS, ILLUSTRATIONS TO HEATH'S PICTU RESQUE ANNUAL, FOR 1835. London: Hodgson, Boys, and Graves. The Annual season bids fair to set in with its usual severity. ,All our old favourites, whose name is Le gion—to say nothing of a few strangers who promise hugely in the way of green and gold and all sorts of gorgeous emblazonments—are announce d as ready for immediate publication. For a time, therefore, we may expect it to rain Annuals, and just at this seasonand of - sterility, when the literary world - is quite dry parched, and crying out for moisture, the shower is most welcOme and appropriate one. Autumn indeed is the legitimate season of the Ann uals. Spring and summer have their own intrinsic recomm endations, and need few or no helps from art ; the world is then (or should be) an out-of-doors world ; but in autumn it begins to develope the organ of " stay-at-home-ative ness," and it is just when this is in its first freshness-- when the blazing fire, with the couch and table wheeled e close beside it, the warm hearth - rug , the closed shut ters, and the full, flowing curtains, have n ot y et becom things of no account with us, by reason of the constan! repetition of the enjoyment—it is jus t at this period that the Annuals make their appearance with a smiling' graceful, self-assured manner, that see ms to say, " know we shall be welcome." And we lcome they are, l and welcome they ever will be, or the re is no onger For 01. 1 " faith in the beautiful or the picturesque. selves, we confess to a prodigious fancy for these t lumes, if only from a recollection of the pretty we have seen lit up into smiles of wonder and doigh ha l ve at their embellishments. If the fairies—an d we Hood's authority for it that they still exis t ' for 'e himself put up a covey of them the other evening 01,i, the banks of the Lea close by the Jolly Fisherman .—if these tricksy, little spirits still exist and w ere eve; to resolve on having a library of their own, n° d° they would stock it exclusively with Annuals ! lireour faces that are we too that among the first they would.honL. with their choice, would be Heath's _Picturesque A nual, than which Oberon never made a more elega nt Lt present to Titania.

The shrines are just overthrown; , 0 , tombs of the saints have been ransacked ; all the ilof liest emblems of the church are lying about as thi n g s o f no moment ; and in the back ground, under the nareeie the cathedral, we see the fallen Abbot and his one s attendant, making desolation still more desolatev; their presence. The still life represented in thesethei figures is wonderful. They do not speak d .3 11 scarcely even seem to move ; horror has congenle oat their faculties ; and they stand fixed _roo ted t° f e the like petrifactions.
