is a fabrication. Another asseveration has been made, and repeated with great confidence, that Austria is not friendly to the . COurse pursued by :she ,other Powers. We have the best authority for stating, that Austria is doing every thing in her power to ret-oneile all ladies to that course, and particularly the Turks, and is anxious that the business should terminate' amicably. This is equally the desire of England and France ; and the most confident expectations arc at present entertained, that, witli the aid of Austria, every thin g will be satisfactorily settled. As to France and England, they never were on better terms with each other than at present, and never were more anxious to avoid what might lead to dis agreement among themselves or among any other Powers. Don Miguel will be here in a few days, and will remain here some time. Our troops will shortly be withdrawn from Portugal ; as it is consid ere d th a t th e c ircumstances which required their presence in the Peninsula no longer exist.. Morning Chronicle. The appointment of Sir Anthony Hart to the Lord Chancellorship of Ireland appears to be a judicious one, inasmuch as he is an able Chancery lawyer and no politician. We have always thought that the promotion of men to judicial situations on account of their political services and party-zeal has been peculiarly inju rious to the interests of Ireland. There is a great deal too much of that sort of promotion in this country ; but it cannot do so much mis chief here as in the sister kingdom, because po litical feeling is not carried to the same degree of personal animosity, nor does it interfere so much with public duty in England, as among our less civilized and more impassioned neieityours. Besides, public opinion exercises a surveillance over all persons in authority here, and produces a moral controul almost tinlno,,vti in Ireland. Still we could wish that Government, in ap- pointing persons tcl administbr the laws in this country, would always look only to the ability, knowledge, and professional qualifications of those wbom they select, and not be guided in their choice, as they sometimes are, by a desire rather to serve political partisans than to main tain the dignity and virtue of the judicial cha za.cter. • If freedom from political bias in ap pointments of this description be necessary in England, how much more so in a country where the prejudices and exasperation of political party taint and embitter all the relations of society, and are the very bane of public justice ? , The Lord Chancellorship of Ireland has, in particular, al ways been disposed of on political considera tions. It has, with very few exceptions, been given as a bribe to family connections, or as a reward to political subserviency, without re ference to the capacity or professional merit of the individual, This should not be ; and we trust the . present appointment to that important station is to be considered as the era of a new system in the judicial history of Ireland. It is not right that the Lord Chancel lor, who has to decide on the most important questions of property between persons of all per suasions, should be subject to that political bias which works as much wrong by warping the judgment as if it corrupted the heart. Neither is it wise nor expedient that a Public functionary, who has to fill up the commissions of the peace, should be either a violent partizan or the tool of the incendiaries of any party. Hitherto Sir Anthony Hart has not gone out of the line of his profession to make a name as a politician. Whether he is of a temperament incapable of being acted upon by the contagion of party po-- litics.in Ireland we cannot tell ; but we trust lie bas too much good sense to allow even Irish ex citement to turn him aside from the " noiseless tenor of his way , " into that angry current of po litics in which the integrity of public character perishes, and in which the fortunes of Ire land have suffered wreck. We know it is dif ficult for a Lord Chancellor to steer clear of the prejudices of party, and to preserve in such a state of society the evenness of his temper and the strict impartiality of his judgment—but, without pretending to any great foresight, we may anticipate the pure and faithful administra tion of justice with more confidence of one who has never engaged in the contentions of party, than we can of any others, who, however emi nent their talents, have devoted themselves to the intrigues, the squabbles, and the animosities at political ambition.—Morning Herald. A correspondent, whose letters we inserted a day or two ago, upon the subject of the London University, has been the predecessor of a host of others, who agree with him in thinking that the establishment in the metropolis of an institu tion of this nature, founded upon the principle of excluding religion altogether from its course of study, would be an event pregnant with danger to the Constitution of the land,civil as well as ecclesi astical, unless effectually counteracted by such mea sures as the friends of that Constitution may adopt in its defence. •We cannot afford space for a distinct consideration of each of the separate suggestions we have received upon this subject ; but we have the greatest pleasure in stating that they are so numerous, and generally urged with so much ability and zeal, as to convince us that a spirit is abroad which requires only to be concentrated and directed to accomplish fully the object which . our correspondents have so much at heart—that of protecting . the religion of the land, together with its civil polity, from one of the_ most insi dious and dangerous attacks with which they have been thre a t ene d i n mo d ern tim e s. It will, , we hope, be more conducive to the success of the cause in which we heartily unite with,them, if we select from the variety of projects offered to our notice that which seems to IA to be the most advantageous ; and force it upon the at tention, and recommend it to the favour o f all the loyal and religious part of the community, and particularly . of all those who by their rank,.. station, and influence, can, if they will, most effectually pro mote it. We have no hesitation, then, in pre ferring to any other mode of resisting the influ ence of that impiety and disloyalty, of which the projected London University cannot fail to be the centre and the source—that of planting by the side of it an Institution which shall be its superior in respect of academical character, equally accessible to the middle classes of society, and which shall have for its highest and proudest distinction, that it instils the doctrines and en forces the obligations of religion. It is thus that the en em y ma y b e successfully combated with his elm weapons, and the cunning device by Which it is attempted to deluge England with infidel and revolutionary principles, be rendered utterly abortive. We the more confidently re commend thi s • m od e o f res i st i ng t h e threatened • attack upon the religion, and consequently upon the morals and peace of society by the corrup tion of its middl e c l ass, . the most valuable, the most religious, and b eyond most its various. classes powerful ofAll question the 'asses.t.: because we re collect that a similar attempt having' been made only a few years agq.tV corrupt the loN'ver orders of the people, by precisely the same means— namely, .the omission of religion .in a grand system of popular edycati&.--49e baneful pro ject was utterly foiled by a measure strictly analogous to that which we hope to see adopted upon the present still more urgent occasion. The irreligious and d e moralizing tendency of the Lancasterian Schools was effectually counteracted by the beneficieilt in stitution of the National Sclimoh and we cannot but recur with A feeling of honest pride to the recollection that it was in the co lumns of this Journal, that the first suggestion of national schools was thrown out—of Ta) institu- tion admirable in itself, and imperiously required at the moment from the circumstances to which we'have alluded. We now find, however, the same parties at work, and with the same mis chievous designs; beaten upon their former ground, they have betaken themselves to new ; but let them, we say, be met now as they were met before, and they will again be defeated and dislodged, The idea that an assemblage of youths congregated together in an University can be neutral upon the important subject of religion, is of all notions the most absurd and ridiculous. In proportion as their minds are cultivated, their cu riosity upon this, as upon all other subjects, will be awakened, and them speculations acquire new boldness and vigour. if there are no guides to conduct them into the right course of inquiry, they will not, on that account, be more in clined to stand still. Lifted up by the pride of academic distinction iu those depart ments of science in which they are to have leaders, they will he above the influence of pa ternal or social admonition or example in that the most important of all sciences in which no academic leaders are to be allowed them. Reli gion among any body of youthful students would in such circumstances become a mere matter of chance or of caprice. But religion, i it is not to be an academic exercise, cannot, however, be prevented from becoming a topic of social conversation among these young men. It will be the solitary topic upon which no acade mic authority interferes to fetter their ingenuity, to chastise their wit, to repress their presump tion. The love of distinction, to be acquired in all cases more easily by subtile sophistry and audacious singularity, than by patient and candid investigation, will here exer cise an unbounded sway. The boldest infi del will hence acquire upon easy terms the collegiate reputation of being the cleverest man. We understate the case when we say, that the religion of these congregated youths is to be left to chance, or to individual caprice. The strong probability is, that the most inge nious men educated in this University will be come infidels. They are in "effect foredoomed to be infidels. The ancient academical institutions of the land are in fact, and in our judgment a most fortunate fact it is, blended and identified with the religion of the land. The London University is to be estranged from religion alto gether. This is a broad and palpable distinction, and the only broad and palpable distinction which is to exist between them. A corporate spirit will necessarily grow up in the new institution upon the subject of religion to which this dis tirction alone, if there were no other cause, would impart a character of decided hostility. The enthusiastic attachment of youth to the in stitutions of which they form a part, would be sufficient to reconcile them to propositions gra duated much more violently than the following : —Our University is the best. Our University is the best, although it pays no attention to reli grim,. Religion is not of much importance. Ana then of necessity follows the next impious step in the progression, religion is false. These are the tendencies, and these must inevitably be the effects of the establishment and success of an irreligious University in England. And we earnestly call upon the more dignified and in fluential portion of the Clergy to lead the way, and upon all the loyal, religious, and well dis posed part of the community, to lend their aid in the adoption of some effectual measure to repel the contagion, if they cannot effectually resist the introduction, of this fatal pestilence—a pestilence so much the more to be dreaded and deplored, as it directs its attack towards a class of society which has hitherto been justly deemed the most pure and the most sound.—Morning Post. Many of our contemporaries are amazed, and some of them furious, at the accounts which reach us pretty regularly of the piracies commit ted under Greek colours in the Levant. We are as much disposed to regret the existence of these atrocities as any of the London Journals, but we cannot participate in their wonder nor sympathize with their rage, much less are we in clined to father the continuance of the evil on the Allied Powers, as has been very logically at tempted. It has been said that they bargained for a cessation of hostilities on the Turkish side, and why not on the Greek side ? it being taken for granted, of course, that every convention or armistice with a recognized Government must include all the robbers who have credit enough to purchase a bit of bunting of the same colour as the regular forces of that Government are in the habit of hoisting ! And in addition to this, that the Greek Government has the means of compelling obedience to any armistice which the Allied squadrons may impose upon it. Let any one look to the map—lie may take the smallest he can find—and say, if it be possible for a fleet three times larger than those of the Allies and Greeks conjoined, to prevent acts of piracy and plunder among the islands and rocks that stud the Archipelago, and the numerous creeks and coves on the Asiatic and European coasts. And let him attend also to the fact, that never since the beginning' of the contest, which the Allies, with much patience, prudence, mad temper, are now endeavouring to terminate, had there been any regular organised Government in Greece, to whose commands obedience has been generally acknowledged ; and that for some months back there has been nothing that, in strictness of language, deserved the name of Go vernment at all. When these two facts are fairly taken into account, we think the continu ance of the piratical practiCes of the Greek islanders will cease to excite astonishment. But more general causes have been in operation to produce the evil complained of. War is a great demoralizer, conduct it how we will, but civil war is peculiarly so. The war between Greece and Turkey has been a civil war, with all the con comitants which render such a war one loath some picture of moral and physical abomination. It has been throughout a death struggle between masters and slaves ; between an enchained tiger and his brutal and enraged keepers. The domi nion of the Turks over the Greeks has been one long continued act of outrage. Their treatment ten years ago was no better than it was ten years after their first subjugation. - They had no protection, no privilege, either in law or in custom. Such a series of injuries called forth unheard-of vengeance on-the sea . aS on the shore. The feeble ness of the Greeks has fostered the system of re- taliation, In a contest between two vigorous Got ernments it is the interest and wish of either to permit no violence, but such as the Sovereign Power shall direct. In a contest between two weak and ill] regulated States, the task and the time of outrage must be entrusted to private hands. Those who would argue from the pira cies of Greece dgAst the Allies act yet more inconsistently ; for surely if any plan be calcu lated to put an end to them now, and to prevent their recurrence hereafter, it is to bestow on Greece a regular Government—to furnish her with the means of restraining the irregularities of her own subjects. The conduct of some of our contemporaries is extremely curious. Who could have anticipated that in the year 1827 there ; should be found journalists in London seriously opposing the British Government for endeavour ing to rescue their Christian brethren, the Greeks, from the grasp of the followers of iVlahomet ? And that such opposition should he made, of all men, by those who arrogated to themselves the most pure and ardent zeal for the Clrristian. Church, and who are incessantly imputing to those who do not look on public men as they do, as lukewarm and careless of its welfare ? It must be a very singular cause, indeed, and one, no doubt, in which the liberty and happiness of the human race are deeply implicated, that ranges under its banner Metternich and Maho met ! The grounds of interference on the part of the Allies have been so often stated, that to reiterate them is wearisome. They inter posed to put an end to the insecurity of the Le vant ; and who shall say that any international law forbade them ? The principles by which the conduct of nation to nation is to be guided, are strictly analogous to those which guide man to wards man. No one has naturally a right to meddle with the management of his neighbour's family ; but if the consequences of their quar rels threaten to pass beyond their own circle, and to break in upon his, he may most justly insist on a separation of the contending parties, and on the adoption of such measures as shall keep then► asunder. While the contest between Tur key and Greece was limited in its effects to the immediate parties, no other nation was justified in stepping in to settle their differences ; but when, in consequence of its continuance, the effects of the struggle were felt by others, not only those who were aggrieved, but on the plain principle that he who injures one threatens all, every nation in Europe was authorised in saying to Turkey and Greece, " Depart ye this way, and do ye depart that way, and let there be no more strife between you." We have no wish to indulge in school-boy cant, but it is impossible not to remember, that from the wonderful people whom we are now seeking to protect,mankind have received more instruction than from all the world besides—that their opinions have had a more deep and abiding influence on every department of society than those of any other nation—that their literature and their arts are associated in every cultivated mind with its earliest as well as its most matured imaginings of excellence—and that there is nothing which embellishes o; en nobles our nature, the most splendid examples of which may not be found in their history. If we add to these claims on our sympathy that those whom we succour are heirs of the same faith as ourselves, and expectants, through the sante means, of the same glorious heritage, what Englishman, what Christian, what man, would not take shame to himself if he should labour to pull us back in a course of action to which we are impelled by all the prime inducements of hu manity ? And in favour of whom do the oppo nents of the Ministry plead ? We admit that treaties are to be held sacred with whomsoever made, but that is not the question. If it be not denied that any circumstances whatever jus tify the interference of one nation with the affairs of another, then the right of the Allies' inter ference must Pe granted. And unquestionably it must strengthen such a right, that it is exercised in favour of a country where every foot-print is hallowed by a thousand glorious recollections, and against a horde of barbarians, brutal and bigotted, who have been distinguished ever since they burst from their mountain fastnesses, as the enemies of all that the wise and the learned have concurred in revering ; and who, if they were to perish to-morrow front the soil'which they cum ber, would not leave behind them one monu ment by which their existence could be traced, except the ravages which they had perpetrated.— New Times. The white crop harvest is now completed, and, although the wetness of the weather, during the last four weeks, has greatly hurried, and often interrupted, the operations of stacking, few in stances, comparatively, have occurred of stacks heating; and we must say, that in all the dis tricts of this county, especially the higher parts, and what is commonly styled the moor-edges, the barn-yards were never better filled. This chiefly arises from the abundance of the oat crop, which, generally, and almost without exception, has been one of the . best which has been wit- nessed in this country for many years. The quality of grain is likewise good—we wish we could say as much in favour of the wheat crops, regarding which, it is now pretty well ascertained that, in quantity, they do not reach an average. Peas and beans have sustained considerable in- jury from the heavy rains of this month ; and a large portion of them are still exposed to the weather. The potato crops are not abundant, neither are they deficient, and are generally of good quality.—Ayrshire Report. On Tuesday afternoon, as a young man named George Kitchen, aged about nineteen years, was proceeding over the planks which are laid across the river Dun, at the end of Blonk-street, he was seized with a dizziness in his head, of which he had complained before, and unfortunately slipped off the plank, and in his passage knocked his head against a piece of timber, which rendered him unable to rescue himself from the water, which being swollen with the late rains, carried him down , before any assistance could be pro cured. Two persons attempted a rescue, but owing to the strong current, were obliged to de sist. About two hours elapsed before the body was found, though drags and every means were used. At length, however, it was discovered near Mr. Dixon's premises, where the water is of a very great depth. An inquisition was held over the body the same evening, when a verdict of " Accidental death " was returned. On Wed nesday he was borne to the grave, prepared for him in Attercliffe• Chapel-yard by his fellow workmen, with six females -as pall-bearers (a custom, we believe, in the neighbourhood of Bristol, where the unfortunate young man came from), and followed by the whole of . the work men in new white aprons. Mr. Burkett, the architect, as a last mark of respect to the deceased, paid the expenses of his funeral.--.B4fficid POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—DUELLING ; or, MARCH OF 'NM I LECT.-Yesterday, while Sir RICHARD BIRNIE and G. R, AliNstium., Esq. sat on the Bench, a tall young man, at tired very respectably. in black, entered the office, and having taken his station in front of the magistrates, in a very grave and solemn .tone of voice, addressed Sir RICHARD BIRNIE upen a matter of very serious moment that required his im mediate interference. The applicant said that he wanted a warrant issued against an individual, and, with an air of great mystery, whispered something in his .Worship's ear, at the same time placing a letter on the magistrate's desk. Sir R. BIRNIE informed the applicant it was absolutely necessary that lie should make a statement of the facts upon which he applied for the warrant, before it could he granted. The Applicant replied—You will see by this letter that I have received a challenge to fight a duel! Sir R. BIRNIE read the letter, and said, " a challenge ! so indeed it is ; go into the clerk's office and get a warrant." —The Applicant proceeded to the clerk's office, and gave his information in due form. Sir R. BIRNIE remarked, it certainly is a challenge, ex pressed in language the most clear and unequivocal ; but /there cannot be more decisive evidence of the extraordinary " march of intellect " than the fact, that the challenger is a baker, residing at Islington, and the challenged a clerk to a person who is proprietor of a lead-mill, at Iloxton. At this instant Townshend, the police-officer, whe has the honour of being police attendant on his Alajesty, ca tered the office. Sir Richard Bitnie said to him, "John Townshend, you are come very opportunely to execute a warrant, and prevent a duel from taking place; here is a challenge sent by a baker to the clerk of a lead-mill pro" prietor." John Townshend raised himself upon his toes, and look• eel at Sir R. Birnie, with his usual knowing expression o physog., hardly conceiving whether the Magistrate was in, jest or earnest, and replied, " Why , Sir Richard Birnie, Ij beg leave to tell you, that I think it would lessen me a i great deal if I were to execute a warrant upon a barber (he; had mistaken the word baker, for barber), after 46 years'! service, duringewhich period I have had the honour of taking Earls, Marquises, and Dukes. No, no, Sir, Richard, let the barber fight if he likes it ; but don't letc me be degraded by executing the warrant." Mr. Misfsnum , turned to Townshend, and said to him, " I am sure that you arc not an advocate for duelling." Townshend replied, " No, Mr. Minshull, I am not ; I. think the practice is altogether unjustifiable, and I disap prove of it ; and for barbers and the cutters of cabbage-, stalks to fight duels is the height of absurdity; but youi know, Mr. Minshull, that many strong arguments have, been used in favour of the practice among persons of rank,, and it has been asserted, that it operates as a check upon those who would othewise violate the decorum and outrage the feelings of polished society." Sir EICIIARD BIRY4IE intimated to the veteran officer, that he meant nothing more than a jest in asking him to, serve the warrant. Townsend said he thought so ; and having adjusted his flaxen wig, he said, " Why, Sir Richard, I was employed to apprehend the late Duke of Norfolk and Sir John Hony wood, when they went out to fight a duel; and I also ap prehended Colonel Macnamara and Colonel Harvey Aston, the latter of whom was afterwards shot in a duel in the ; East Indies. I also apprehended the late Marquis Towns hend and Mr. Pousonby, on a like occasion ; and I re member that I received the warrant to apprehend ColoreL Lenox (afterwards Duke of Richmond), and the Duke of York, and prevent their fighting a duel ; but they had suet, and settled their dispute before I had time to get to the. spot. God knows how many great men I have taken— why I apprehended Mr. King and Lord Paget (now Mar quis of Anglesea), when they were going out to fight a duel ; and I remember Lord Paget's father (the Earl of Uxbridge) told me not to prevent the meeting, for his sun was good for nothing if he did not go out and fight. Be sides, now it occurs to me that I was applied to at my own house by Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dundas, late one night, to go in quest of Earl St. Vincent and Sir John Ord. The fact was, that Earl St. Vincent, who had nothing but his coun try's glory in view, broke through the rules of Royal eti quette ; and instead of sending the second in command, Sir John Ord, on an expedition to the Nile, he dispatched the immortal Nelson ; and after the victory was over, and the naval armament returned to England, Sir John Ord sent a challenge to Earl St. Vincent, and I took the parties, and prevented their meeting." Sir P. BllttilE complimented Townshend upon his public services, and another officer was sent to serve the warrant upon the baker at Islington. • L AMBET II- STREET. ---EXTORTI.NG MONEY ay TIIREATS OF EXPOSURE 414 TIIE NicwsrarEas.—A. young man, dressed in the garb of a mechanic, who gave his name, as William Sinintonds, was placed at the bar, charged with having, by threats, extorted at different times, various sums from a Mr. Barestock, the assistant of Dr. Robinson, a medical gentleman, residing in Goodman's fields.—A Professional Gentleman, who Attended for the prosecutor, stated the grounds for the prisoner's apprehension.—About six years since, the prisoner, when in the service of Dr. Robinson, was detected in. plundering his master of pro perty to some amount, among which were some phial bottles, which he disposed :of for his own advantage; on the discovery being made he was taken into custody, and his defence was, that he acted merely as the agent of the present complainant, whO was then the confidential ser vant of Dr. Robinson, and who participated with him in the robbery. On this allegation being made, the most minute investigation was set on foot, to ascertain its truth or falsehood, the result of which was so confirnsitory of the latter, that Dr. Robinson retained him in his service up to the present moment, and reposed in him his cus tomary confidence. The prisoner was then, through the humanity of Dr. Robinson, though his offence was most clear and aggravated, set at liberty. Since the period of his discharge he frequently called on his client supplicating relief. He assisted him from time to time, until at length his tone changed from the, mendicant to the bully, and he had the effrontery, as wotdd be proved, to demand no less a sum than 151. under circumstances of a peculiar cha racter, which his client would explain. Mr. Earestock then stated, that about a fortnight since, he called upon him, and said he wanted 101. but he (Mr. B.) told him that it was. quite out of his power to supply him, as the sum was beyond his means; the prisoner re plied that he must, that through him he had lost his cha racter, and that if he did not do so he would make him, the complainant bring him beftire a Magistrate. In order to gain time and advice as to how he was to act, he handed him a sovereign, promising to give him the remaining nine in a week's time. In the mean time, however, he recei ved a letter, saying that no less than 15 would answer the purpose, and that mild; he must have. . In answer to some further. questions put to him by his solicitor, the witness replied, that on his first refusal to give him the 101. the prisoner used such threatening lan guage as to put him into bodily fear; he said he was a re porter of, the Times and the Morning Chronicle Journals, anti would well lard him, and show him up in these Papers, by publishing his opinions about him. Mr. Miller, the chief officer, on the previous night at tended at Dr. Robinson's, where he cencealed himself in a small room. At nine o'clock, the hour appointed for the meeting, the prisoner called, and was admitted by the pro secutor. The prosecutor said he could - then give him only a sovereign, which the prisoner took, and after examining it for some time, put it into his pocket. On his doing so, he (witness) immediately tosk him into custody, and found on him the sovereign, which, by his (witness's) direction, had been marked previous to its being given to him. The prisoner, in his defence, was proceeding with a volley of abuse, when he was interrupted by the Magistrate, who asked him if it was possible that such a person as he was could be a Reporter to any Paper whatever ?—The pri soner said he was not kßeporter to any Paper. MAGISTRATE.-Can you have any connection whatever with the Press? Prisoner.—Yes; I work the steam engine of The Morning Chronicle." The MAGISTRATE seemed incredulous on the subject, and ordered him for further examination on Friday next. V A person of the name of Simmonds was once e ngaged in the steam engine departmen t of our establishment ; and his office was that of stoker, i. v. to supply the fire with fuel, but it is two years since he left our employ, and we do not recollect to have seen him at our office during that interval.' HATTON-GARDEN.—John Cramer was brough t yesterday before Mr. ROGERS for re-examination, on a charge of stealing a quantity of Welsh .flannel, of the vain of 501., the property of Mr. William Jones, of Montgomery shire, flannel-manufacturer. The prisoner acknowledged having stolen the flannel. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the Old Bailey Sessions. Thomas Williams and Ellen Rae were charged by the driver of the hackney-coach, No. 507, with refusing to pay him his fare. John Crompton, the driver, had taken the lady and gentle man from Rowbottom's, in Covent-garden. Mr. ROGERS—Where is Rowbottom's? Lee, the officer --It is what is commonly called a " finish house," your Worship. The coachman,•in continuation, said that the lady and gentleman were rather freshish ; and, being apprehensivo that some damage walla be , done to his coach, he.was the look-out ; but he had net proceeded far when he saw the gentleman damage his coach. He put down the window, and complained of what he had seen, and the gen tleman said it was a lie. Mr. Williams—l wish to be sworn, your Worship. Coachman—:-lipld him, yoUr Worship, as how ha da maged my coach, and he -- me again ; and then 1 says, you must pay for cleaning the coach, or clean it yourself, because your Worship, as you knows I do notlikes to have my coach spoiled ter the next decent job. So I gives urn both in charge. Mr. Williams--No, it was I gave you in charge. Al.. low me to speak, your Worship. When this lady and I got out of the coach, this Jarvey demanded 6s. for his fare, besides ss. for cleaning the coach. I offered him 2s. Miss Rae—l say, as that's the truth, and the coachman is a rascal. Mr. ROGERS—Go, Lee and examine the coach. Lee went to examine the coach accordingly. Miss Rae—Your Worship, it's all false. I would not allow any gentleman to do such a thing in my presence.— (To the coachman)—You wicked, wicked man. Mr. Williams—You wicked rascal, I did not do your coach any injury. Coachman- s --That's a nice way of getting over it ; as I hopes to be saved, my coach is ruined. Miss Rae—l denies it altogether. I would be 'pon my hoath I offered that wicked man there two shillings, and he demanded six shillings. Lee now returned, and reported progress.—lle saw no• thing injured or defaced in the inside of the coach. Miss Rae—l'll he 'pon my hoath of it—it's all false. Mr. Williams—The coach Man is an imposter. Miss Rae—l'll be 'pon my hoath of it. Mr. Williams—He is an impu dent rascal. Mr. ROG ER S—lf you say a word more, Sir, I shall com mit you. Mr. Williams—lt's an imposition I say. Mr. ROG ERS--CoOllllit that fellow. Lee took Mr. Williams into custody accordingly, and locked him up. Mr. ROGERS—Let the woman be discharged. Mr: ROG EES told the coachman to summon the party to the County Court. In the course of the day, Mr. Williams was - discharged by Mr. Rogers. Miss Rae returned soon after, paid the coachman 4s. and then retired in company with her friend Mr. Williams. AIARYLEBONE.—A respectable-looking man, named —, residing in Oxford-buildings, and who was described as living on his property, was yesterday charged with having committed a daring highway robbery on a Mr. Richard Luscombe. It appeared that the pro secutor was on Monday evening taking a walk in Hyde Park, when he was accosted by the prisoner, who is familiarly known by the appellation of " Miss Mick," and after some conversation between them, the prisoner struck him violently, and the blow having knocked him down, the prisoner proceeded to rifle his pockets of four sovereigns, and then decamped with the money, and also an umbrella, but he was taken into custody the same evening.—The evi dence against the prisoner was conclusive, and he was fully committed to Newgate for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. —Yesterday Mrs. ,Sophia Groves, residing in Westminster, was brought up before W. A. A. WHITE, Esq. charged with a violent assault on the person of Mrs. Susannah Cox, of Vauxhall-road. The complainant had accidentally seen her husband conic out of Mrs. Groves house, and the " green-eyed monster" instantly took possession of her soul, and she rated him on his conduct ; when he, considering that she was snaking *.wo liberal use of her prerogative, in his de fence beat her soundly with an umbrella. A few days after she met the defendant, and words arose between them, when they both agreed to adjourn to a public-house, and there " talk it out," as Mrs. Cox expressed it ; but Lik ing soon gave way to blows, and Mrs. Cox now deposed to the assault. The defendant said that Mrs. Cox struck first, and held her so fast that she all but strangled her. Mr. WurrE said that he thought the complainant had brought it on herself by going to the public-house, and he thought one was as bad as the other : be should dismiss the warrant. R UNION-HALL. —,--OBBERY. —Yesterday, two men, named Clide and Jason, were charged with having been , ;oncerned in breaking open and robbing the premises of Mr. Brown, a cutler, in Newington.

MEDICAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER. The prevalent disease of the last month has been fever, showing itself in an unusual number of forms. The intermitting' and remitting type of fever has been in several parts of the town, and more especially in Westminster. That this has had for its more immediate or exciting cause. malaria, or air tainted by exhalations from the earth, there can be no question. But when we take into our consideration the simultaneous oc currence of fever in several of its other forms, a reasonable presumption exists that, but for some peculiar state of atmosphere, favouring the diffu sion of such miasmata, ague would not have been so general. The extreme moisture of the air during the last month is, no doubt, the principal of these accessory causes, to which the uniform mildness of its temperature (averaging about 60 degrees of Fahrenheit, during the day) must also be added. In the treatment of this particular kind of fever, the sulphate of quinine has proved • very serviceable, and its claims to the title of a most efficient febrifuge are certainly established beyond the . possibility of doubt or cavil. The Reporter is informed that in several parts of the country, especially in and around Cambridge, the ague has been very general this autumn. — Monthly Magazine. A few mornings since, as two of the Bandon jingles were proceeding towaids Cork, a person, who stated himself to be attached to the General Post Office, accompanied by two Police-men, stopped the vehicles, and took several letters and notes from the drivers, and, having obtained the names of the owners of the jingles, he walked off.—Cork Southern Reporter. - - A few clays ago, a rather unusual sight pre sented itself at Kirby Stephen, in Westmoreland. The landlady of a public-house was seen running after a man in the street ; the people flocked to them ; and the person pursued not choosing to be impeded in his progress Make way ! make way its a race for a shilling.' So, indeed, it was ; the man had drunk two quarts of beer, and not finding it co nvenient to pay for it, he thought it best to bolt ; so . that they were literally running, the one to receive , and the other to avoid paying a shilling. DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCE. -- Ab out eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, the body of a beautiful and well-dressed young female, ap parently about 17 years of age, was discovered and taken out of the New Riyer, in Colebrook row, Islington. The deceased was observed by two females, sitting on the rails which enclose the river from Colebrook-row ; and it is conjec tured that she must have thrown herself into the water soon after. The body was removed to the vault under the church, where it now lies to be owned, and to await the Coroner's Inquest. The deceased appears to be about five feet six inches in height, well . proportioned, extremely fine open and interesting countenance, with all the colour and bloom of youth and health still fresh on .her cheeks ; light long auburn hair ; had on a lilac pattern coloured cotton b aown, white chip bonnet , trim med w ith black silk, in the crown of which.was a plain net cap, trimmed with pink riband ; light drab coloured whittle, wicker basket were two odd leather and one silk her linen. In the small m a ar s i Ma o ll n green bordered merino and a half silk dark biown cross-barred neckkerchief, and also a piece of blue and a piece of red riband. This is the 'second young female l b s ' h l o a a e l :l: l 7glo t :e o s r, found drowned in the same spot within the last five days.
