the peasantry, which have taken place in some partl. of Szemplin and Aubugvac. At Terebes 2,000 peasants have, they say, seized the castle of the Countess Zapory, whom they put in chains, toge ther with all the other persons they found in flu castle. Troops are about to set out from Coschati and repair to the disturbed districts. It is an nounced ale& that the quarantines are about to he removed throughout the whole of Hungary, but that those oa the frontier of Gallicia will remain. Thi measure will serve to tranquillize the country, for no where are the obstacles of quarantine more dis agreeable than in Hungary, where the inhabitants are accustomed to great freedom of communication. At Offenbach there have been repeated assemblies of the people, directed principally against the Custom-house officers. At first they contented them selves with using big words ; afterwards they had tecourse to stones. However, there has been no great mischief hitherto ; but the approach of the fair has greatly increased their meetings. They de sire to introduce merchandise without paying the duties, and many disastrous events may result from this. The sanatory regulations impede commerce suffi&ently at present, and it would be very distres sing if other circumstances were to suspend it entirely. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) FLORENCE, AUG. 15.-During the last tins e days we have no longer received any French journals ; the last that reached us were those of the 4th of this month. Rumours of war circulate in Tuscany ; diplomacy is in full play : the Austrian Minister Seurat' sends many couriers, and 'visits are conti nually interchanged between the Charges d'Affaires of the different Powers. We know that Austria is passing fresh troops upon the right bank of the Po.* (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) BOLOGNA, AUG. 14.-The pontifical troops de stined for the invasion of Romagna, amount now to 5,000 or 6,000 men. They are provided with artil lery, with ammunition, and with all the necessary materials for entering into the legations with open force. It will be a real war between an army of the Pope and the Civic Guards, organized on all points ; and it is impossible to dissemble that the struggle may become a serious one, when it is recollected that the partisans of the Court of Rome will endeavour, at the same time, to excite dis sensions in the interior. However, we have confidence in our forces,-our young men are full of courage and energy,-and we reckon upon an easy triumph, if we have not to fear a fresh invasion of the Austrian troops. Unhappily, we have learned with certainty that new forces are directed as well against Ferrara as against the duchies of Parma and Modena; and it seems that they intend to form upon our frontier a line of observation destined to act against te:, in the event of our repulsing our ad versaries. Here we rely again upon the good faith of France; we hope that the evacuation is defini tive. We do not wish to overthrow the authority of the Pope, since w e consent to be governed by the authorities whom he has nominated, but we wish ourselves to maintain public order, which has no where been disturbed by the Libetals, since our Civic Guards were re-organized. The brigands, and the assassins whom they have recruited, to form the army of the Pope, are, to the whole of Romagna, an object of terror; and we do not think that France will permit Austria to lend them her assistance in once more invading the legations. " (From Galignani's Messenger of Friday.) The Chamber of Deputies yesterday assembled for the purpose of proceeding to the periodical elec tion of the Presidents and Secretaries of the Stand ince Committees. On the last occasion Ministerial Deputies were almost invariably chosen, but yes terday, of the nine Committees, seven elected Members of the Opposition, and two only (the 4th and 7th) nominated friends to the Administration. The Opposition journals speak of this with great triumph, as affording a proof that M. Perier has lost ground in the estimation of the Chamber since the commencement of the Session, while La France Nouvelle (the organ of Ministers) merely laments that the Members of the majority considered the affair as too secure or unimportant, and neglected to attend the Session, while the Members of the Op position, on the contrary, mustered in full force. The following is the list of the new Presidents and Secretaries :- Committee. President. Secretary. Ist. General Lafayette. M. Salvette 2d. Baron de Brigode. M. (=llion. U. M. Berenger. M. Vatout. 4th. M. Duchatel. M. Dugas Moutbel. sth. M. Dupont de l'Eure. M. Felix Real. 6th. Count Delaborde. M. de Tracy. 7th. M. Odier. M. Camille Pericr. Bth. M. Bignoti. M. Ganneron 9th. M. Latittc. M. Arago. The meeting of Deputies which holds its sittings at Loinlier ' s, and which now amounts to one hun dred and twelve Members, has classed itself into the following seven Committees, namely,for Justice and Legislation, Worship and Public Instruction, the Finances and Customs, Public Works and Com merce, Foreign Affairs, War and the Marine. A special Committee has also been formed for the con sideration of all proposals made to the Chamber on the important question of the Peerage, whether by the Government, or by any individual Deputy. This Committee is composed of Gen. Lafayette, (yen. Lamarque, and Messrs. Odillon Barrot, Nlaus guilt, Merihou, Taillandier, Comte, Dubois Ayme, de Tracy, and Cormenin. Its labours have already commenced.-Court ier Francais. The Courrier de )'Europe says-" A certain number of Peers, it is reported, have resolved to protest against the abolition of the hereditary descent of the Peerage and the law for constituting the Chamber, and Marshal Macdonald is charged to place the protest in the hands of the King."-The Tribune states that Marshal Macdonald has quitted the Palace which he occupied as Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, and has taken apartments at an hotel in the rue de Rivoli. Letters from Naples of the Bth inst. state that the King has called upon the dignitaries of the church to order prayers to be offered up throughout their several dioceses to avert the wrath of God, and protect the kingdom against the cholera. By a decree of the sth his Majesty has appointed seven extraordinary Commissioners for the provinces, charged to take every efficacious measure to pre vent its introduction, and also military commissions for inflicting summary justice on all who may in fringe the regulations made in this respect. Seven articles of the decree denounce the penalty of death.

BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, AUGUST 2-I.—General Daine is re moved from active service. The resignation of Ge neral du Faille is accepted. The Committee of Inquiry is going to the spot to examine the conduct of the army of the .reuse, to investigate the facts relative to the disobedience of the King's orders, to the precipitate retreat, and to the abandoning of their arms and baggage by some corps. When the facts are ascertained the affair will be brought b , fore the Supreme Court. AUGUST 25.—The review of 20,000 French troo ps near Tirlemont was very brilliant. The King and the French Princes were received by the troops with reperved cheers. The weather beim - , very favourable , numerous spectators from Brussels and Louvain rendered the scene still more animating. The King, acc ompanied by the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, will arrive here to-day at noon.— Their Royal Highnes.seg will only pass through Brussels, and pe-ocaed direct for Paris. Four carriages and eleven fine horses belonging to the King were landed at Ostend the day before yes terday. French engineer officers ate at Engbien to mark out the line of the camp of the infantry which is to e formed there. M. Lebeau is now at Liege. The French troops are preparing to commence their retrograde movement to our southern frontiers. That portion of these troops that is to remain in Bel gium till the final arrangement of our affairs with Holland will be cantoned in the environs of Nivelles. The head-quarters of this army will be fixed in that little tow❑ by the end of the week. A letter from Flushing, of the 16th, says that 36 24-pounders, with their carriages, are embarked, and are to be employed in arming Fort Lillo and the banks of the Scheldt. A battalion of infantry, and some sappers, 1,000 men in all, have lately reinforced the garrison of Maestrieht. They are quartered on the citizens. (From the Moniteur Belge of Saturday.) OFFICIAL PART. " We, Leopold the First, King of the Belgians, " At the instance of our Minister for Foreign Afflirs, " We have decreed and do decree— "The Sieur Baron Joseph Vasderlinden d'Hoogvorst to be our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, for the purpose of notifying our ascension to the throne of Belgium, to the Courts of Austria, Bavaria, and Wurtern berg, Here-Darmstadt, and Baden. " LEOPOLD. (By the King) " DE MEULENAERE, "Minister for Foreign Affairs." Another Royal decree appoints the Sieur Charles Serruys as Secretary to the said Legation. A third decree appoints the following gentlemen as his Majesty's Consuls :—The Sieur Henri-Guil laume Theodore Mall, merchant, as Consul at New Yotk; Edward Hodges, an agent of Lloyd's and of other British Insurance Companies, Consul at Rams gate; William Cullen, an agent of the house of Rothschild, Consul at Calais ; Kirkpatrick, merchant, Consul at Havre; and F. Lecocq, merchant, at Algiers. BRUSSELS, AUGUST 26.—The following are some fresh details relative to the late review of the French army. The French Princes, Marshal Gerard, and all the superior officers of the French army, were invited by the King to the chateau of the Dowager Madame Persoens, which is situated about half a league from the town, where every preparation was made for their reception. The French and Belgian colours waved over the gate. Two companies of grenadiers composed the King's guard, and horsemen, in various uniforms, were on duty about the chateau. The fete given by the King to the French army will be long remem bered by both nations. The officers of both nations drank with enthusiasm the toasts of " Prosperity to France and Belgium." The health of the King was received with the most sincere acclamations by all present. About sixty persons were present at the ban quet, which commenced at four, and finished at six. The French Princes, Marshal Gerard, and the other officers, immediately after dinner took their departure for Tirlemont, and the King and his suite set out for Louvain, where his Majesty was to pass the night. His Majesty returned yesterday to Brassels be tween eleven and twelve o'clock. The Duke of Orleans' regiment of Hussars, and the Duke of Nemours' regiment of Lancers, arrived here to-day at one o'clock from Louvain. There was yesterday a grand fete in the citadel and on board the Dutch squadron, in honour of King William's birth-day. Wagers have been laid on 'Change to-day, that the citadel . will be occupied by our troops by the 20th of next month. OFFICIAL NEWS. GHENT, AUG. 26.—The Dutch nave again vio lated the armistice. The Commissioner of the dis trict of St. Nicholas has just informed the Governor of our province, that he had received official infor mation of au attack made by these brigands on our outposts at La Trompe, on this side of Kemske. Our brave sharp-shooters, aided by the Civic Guard, repulsed them beyond St. Jeans Steen, in Dutch Flanders. The Dutch left behind one of their killed. We lad neither killed nor wounded. GE p 31 ,t/V PAPERS. ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty was happily delived of a Prince on the Sth instant, in the forenoon. This happy event was announced in the afternoon by a salute of artillery, and by an imperial ukase, dated Zarskojeselo, Bth of August, in which his Majesty informs his subjects " of this additional proof of the blessings which Divine Providence lavishes on him and his empire." The young Prince is named Nicholas. The cholera continues to abate. In four days, from the sth to the Bth, there have been only 136 new cases, 99 deaths, and 400 recoveries. Official accounts from Jassy say, that the cholera, which in a short time had carried off 6,000 persons, had spread to other parts of Moldavia, and had proved very fatal, especially at Galacz, but that by the ju dicious measures of the Russian Commander at Jassy it had entirely ceased, and the inha bitants are returning to the city. As the effects of the cholera in Moldavia have been so different from what they were in other places, all the physicians in that country have been invited by the President of the Divan to keep a detailed journal of their obser vations. A prize will be given for the most satis factory composition on this subject. FROM TILE POLISH FRONTIERS, AUG. 18.—Ac cording to authentic accounts from the Russian head-quarters, dated the 13th inst., the corps of General Rudiger which had passed the Vistula, has approached Radow, and pushed its advanced posts to Piliza. The vanguard of this corps commanded by General Geismar has totally defeated a detach ment of the enemy, who, besides several hundred killed, lost two cannon and 300 prisoners, among whom are many officers. The corps of Count Baron Kreutz, consisting of 20,000 infantry, and 5,000 cavalry, has arrived at Prasnysz, and received orders to hasten its march to join the Russian main army, so as to pass on the 18th the bridge over the Vistula at Lengen. Chocz and Rychwall were occupied by Russian troops on the 14th, and they were expected on the 15th and 16th at Kalisch. The public coffers and functionaries of the latter place are gone to Cznestochow. There being no Polish troops within or near Kalisch, there is nothing to hinder the entrance of the Russian troops into that town. It is said, that on the 17th, 20 Cossacks and one officer went from Konin to occupy the frontier town of Slupce. WAnsAw, AUGUST 10.—General Dembinski, Governor of Warsaw, has issued a proclamation, in which he states, that having been informed by the National Government, on the 17th instant, that the garrison duty at Praga was negligently performed. that no patrols were sent out, and that the enemy', cavalry had come up to the tete du pont, he ims mediately sent Lieutenant Chirosz, one of his Aides de-camp, with an order to General Djekonski, Go vernor of Praga : he examined all the batteries, visited all the posts, and convinced himself that both in Praga and the outposts the duty was per formed in the most satisfactory manner. The officer declared they had no fear of an attack, not merely of-4,000, but of 14,000 of an enemy. The follow ing day he submitted the report to the military council, which was fully convinced that General Djekonski has shown the greatest zeal and military skill. Since then M. Ulanizki, adjutant in the Na tional Guard, had presented a complaint accusing General Djekonski and Major - Majewski of negli gence in the performance of their duty. The Ge neral as well as the whole Council, being convinced of the falsehood of the accusation, declares that the conduct of all the officers of the garrison of Praga is exemplary, and Ulanizki is to be prosecuted be fore an extraordinary Court-martial as a calumniator. BERtas, AuG. 20.—A letter from Posen of the 17th says, that the soldiers of that garrison, who were attacked by cholera, are gradually leaving the hospital. M. Krajewski, surgeon of the 33d Regi ment, to whom the direction of the hospital was, in trusted, has recovered thirty of the fifty-six soldiers who were attacked, and the proportion would have been greater had not many of the patients concealed the disorder till it was hardly possible to save them. Krajewski has found it advisable, besides the remedies to Le used in the sickness, to furnish the soldiers of his reg'ment with a preservative powder, which powe►fully counteracts the first symptoms of the disorder, and gives the patient time to call in medical advice. The public in general has so much confidence in Krajewski's powder that it is to be found in almost every house.—Pfussian State Ga zette, August 21. EXPRESS FRONT PARIS. (From the Morning Herald.} The Paris Journals of Saturday, and the iWessa ger Stenograph, and Gazelle, dated yesterday, and letters from our Correspondent, have th►s moment reached us, iu addition to the Journals of Thursday and Friday, which had previously come to hand. Their contents are various and ►mportant. The anxiously expected draught of a lair for the anni• hilation of the hereditary quality of the Peerage was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on S turday last, by the President of the Council, M. Casimir Perier. Our Correspondent observes, " The main princi ples of the proposition will be those with which you are already acquainted, the extinction of the heredite (hereditary quality), and the uncontrolled and unlimited power of the Crown to create. That, however, which I look to with anxiety, is the man ner in which an attempt to procrastinate -for which a week since I prepared you, will be received by the nation. It may occasion very serious occurrences, for the public will not, in their impatience, admit that an institution of such magnitude ought not to be destroyed but on grave and mature consideration," -" Our Correspondent remarks at the conclusion of his letter, " We have correctly anticipated its principle." " The arrival of the Dukes of Orleans and Ne mouis in Paris yesterday, removed any doubt that might have remained respecting the termination of the war in Belgium; but there is lately an increased degree of activity observable in the War Depart ment, that gives rise to serious reflections; I can, however, see nothing in this beyond the desire of Marshal Soult to be as well prepared for contin gencies, as circumstances and his limited means will permit."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, Ann. 27.—The squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., arrived on Sunday even from the Downs at St. Helen's, where they anchored with the exception of the Stag, Cnracoa, and Victory, which came up to Spithead on the same evening. The rest of the fleet, consisting of the Caledonia, 120, Prince Regent, 120, Asia, 84, Donegal, 76, Revenge, 76, Wellesley, 74, Talavera, 74, Alfred, 50, Barham, 50, Charybdis, Royalist, and Recruit, 10 gun brigs, came up to Spithead, and anchored on the following morning. The squadron are completing their provisions, &c. to four months, and it is believed will sail in about a fortnight on their second cruise. His Majesty's ships Bri. tannia, 120, and Galatea, 46, are ordered to accompany the squadron. The Donegal and Alfred, are ordered to be detached from the squadron, to be ready by the sth of September to proceed to the Mediterranean. The Alfred will receive on board Lieut.-General Sir William Houston, K.C.8., the newly appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar, and suite, for the Rock. The Donegal, it is supposed, is destined to relieve his Majesty's ship Melville. Ws Majesty's ship Rattlesnake, 28, Captain Charles Graham, was paid advance wages on Monday, and sailed no the following day with despatches for Rear- Admiral Sir Thomas Baker, K.C.8., Commander in-Chief on the South American station. His Majesty's ship Tweed, .20, Commander Bertram, came into harbour on Tuesday, to have her false keel in spected, for which purpose she was taken in and out of do ,k on Wednesday. His Majesty's ship Jupiter, 50, fitted as a lazaretto, sailed for Leith on Thursday. . _ . His Majesty's ship Grasshopper, IS, Commander John E. E. Erskine, arrived on Friday from the West India station, last from the Havanna!), which she left on the 21st of July; she has brought a freight from Tampico, and three invalided seamen. She came into harbour yes. terday preparatory to being paid off. His Majesty's steam-vessel Hermes, Lieut. Kennedy, came in on Friday evening from Woolwich with 20,0001. i❑ silver, which she put on board his Majesty's ship Win chester, for conveyance to Bermuda, and proceeded on the following day for Plymouth to replenish her fuel. She will sail from thence to Falmouth, to take out the Medi terranean mail. The Hope, transport, Lieut. Ryder, agent, p asse d through Spithead on Tuesday, from Havre de Grace for Southampton, to land the luggage of Lord Stuart de Rothsay. At twelve o'clock on Monday last, the Emerald yacht, with the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria, arriv e d at Spithead, from Cowes, and on passing his Majesty's s hi p Wellesley, the Royal party were saluted with twenty-one guns, the whole of the fleet following the example, and manning yards. Many of the ships cheered as the ya c ht pas=ed. Admirals Sir T. Foley, Sir Edward Codrington, and Parker, in their respective barges, paid a visit to the Duchess and Princess on board the Emerald. There was a fine breeze on the water, and the Emerald was followed by an immense assemblage of yachts, steam-packets, and craft of every description, filled with most fashionably dressed parties. The yachts contending for the King's Cup, at Cowes, passed through Spithead at the same time, and joined in the cheers which were given to the Duchess and Princess as they passed, the whole forming a most en livening and gratifying scene both to the spectators on shore, and to the royal party on board, who frequently re turned the demonstrations of respect they received in the most condescending manner. At Spithead—Caledonia, Prince Regent, Britannia, Asia, Donegal, Revenge, Talavera, Wellesley, Alfred, Bar ham, Stag, Galatea, Curacoa, Victor, Royalist, and Recruit. In Harbour—Spartiate, Royal George, Imogene, Win chester, Tweed, 2Etna, Grasshopper, Onyx, Columbia, Charybdis, and Excellent. PROMOTIONS, APPOINTMENTS, Sze.—Lieutenant Corn wallis Ricketts, of his Majesty's ship Britannia, late Flag_ Lieutenant to Vice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, K.C.B. is promoted to the rank of Commander. Mr. H. W. Johnstone, of the same ship, is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. Lieutenant Berry Haines is appointed to his Majesty's ship Galatea, vice Peel. Lieutenant Thomas Nlitchell (b) is appointed to his Majesty's ship ,Etna, vice Quin, at aick quarters. Mr. James Macallister is ap pointed Assistant-Surgeon of the same ship, vice Miller ; and Mr. John Shepherd is appointed Master of the same, vice Johnson. Mr. Richard Haig, is appointed Secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore, K.C.13 , appointed to the command in the East Indies. Mr. John Baird, late Assistant-Surgeon of his Majesty's ship Talavera, is ap pointed Assistant-Surgeon of the Royal Hospital at Has lar. Mr. Thomas Gibson, Assistant-Surgeon of his Ma jesty's steamer Pluto, is appointed to his Majesty's ship Isis. Captain D. Campbell, of the Royal Marines, is ap pointed to his Majesty's ship Wellesley, vice Sayer. Lieutenant C. P. Ladd, whose appointment to his Ma jesty's packet brig Skylark we announced last week, hl9 been superseded in his command in consequence of its having become known to the Admiralty that he had at tempted to effect an exchange, for the consideration of 1,000 guineas, with the Commander of a packet at Port Patrick. Mr. James Wood, Midshipman of his Majesty's ship Eden, was specially examined in seamanship on board his Majesty's ship Spartiate on Wednesday, by Captains 0, , en , Blackwood, and Graham, of his Majesty's ships Edens Imogene, and Rattlesnake, and found duly qualified for Lieutenant. His Majesty's ship, Eden, 26, was paid off into ordi nary on Tuesday. His Majesty's brig Charybdis, 3, Lieut. R. 13. Craw ford, cause into harbour on Wednesday. The whole of the Coast Guard, Service is now, as re gards appointments, entirely under the Admiralty, and it is intended to select annually one Commander, one Lieu tenant, and one Master of a revenue cruizer, who shall have evinced zeal in the service, for a step of promotion. We have strong reasons for b e li ev i ng , notw ithstanding the universality of reports to the contrary, that the Go vernment are so resolved to economize in every case where it is practicable, that no protnotion whatever will take place on the occasion of the ensuing coronation. In addition to the honour of Knighthood which his Ma jesty had been graciously pleased to confer on Dr. Richard D..bson in return fur his long and distinguished services, and which we noticed in the Herald of last week, we have great pleasure in announcing that his Majesty has also been pleased to grant permission to this talented and meritorious civil officer to wear the Orders of Sc. Vladimir of Russia, and Danelroy of Denmark, which the late Em peror Alexander and the King of Denmark have trans mitted to him through their Ambassadors for eminent pro fessional services rendered to their respective subjects whilst in the hospital ship at Chatham. Sir Richard Dobson was presented to his Majesty on Wednesday last, at the levee. Vessels continue to arrive at Staudgate Creek, and several have sailed from thence during the week. The best possible health continues to prevail there. A schooner of 182 tons, named " Hornet," was launched at Chatham Dock-yard, on Wednesday last. This is one of a new class of vessels lately introduced into the service. She mounts four 12• pounder carronades, and two 6-pounder long guns. She will be rigged as a brig, forward, and schooner fashion, aft. The Government steam-vessels, Flamer and Firebrand, each of 500 tons, which have just been launched from Mr. Fearnell's yard, at Limehouse (where they were built by contract) were constructed under the immediate superin. tendency of Messrs. Chatfield and Sheffield, formerly of the School of Naval Architecture of this Dock-yard. His Majesty's ship Winchester, 52, Captain Lord Wm. Paget, is now nearly ready for sea,land is expected to re• turn to the Halifax station the latter end of the week, to re-hoist the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. G. Colpoys. She will receive on board for conveyance to Bermuda, 20,000/. in silver. Commodore Lord Yarborough, and twenty-three yachts, passed through Spithead on Thursday frow Cowes, on their way to Cherbourg regatta. They came from Cowes in two lines, the Commodore leading the windward and Lord Vernon the leeward line. On arriving at Spithead they formed a line and sailed to St. Helen's, when they shortened sail and put to sea. Their evolutions were per formed with great precision and alacrity, and the whole squadron seemed well versed in their signal code, as every thing was performed by signal from the Commodore. We noticed last week that the Tweed razee was likely to have her thirty-two pounders (Dickson's medium guns) removed. Orders have since been given to that effect, and she will in future carry only thirty-two pounder carronades. We also noticed how badly she answered in point of sail ing. To remedy this defect she was docked last Wednes day, and had another false keel given her. Whether this will snake her a weatherly ship remains to be proved. She was undocked yesterday. His Majesty's ship "'Etna having been examined, and her copper not having been found defective as was ex pected, she will be undocked to-morrow. Orders Eve been received at the Gun-wharf to change the Caledonia's heavy lower deck thirty-two pounders for lighter thirty-two pounders. Some ballast will also be taken out of her. We presume these measures are about to be adopted in order to raise her ports higher out of the water. His Majesty's ship Prince Regent was considered rather crank in the squadron. It is in contemplation to add to her ballast. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The beadle of Aldgate, accompanied by the school. mistress of the workhouse, ►waited upon the LORD Avoa, in consequence of the impression made upon the public that the teacher of the pauper children was not qualified to instruct or negligent of duty. Kinnersley said, that when he brought the little girl from the workhouse to be bound apprentice, be took it for granted that she could read, as he never witnessed an in stance to the contrary; but he of course could not give a decided negative to her statement made on Friday.— Upon speaking to the schoolmistress, however, he found that the girl could read, and be supposed that she denied the fact without knowing what she said. The schoolmistress produced a Bible, which had ♦ery much the appearance of being handled by paupers, and declared that the little girl just before she left the work house reed a chapter in it. The Loan Mairop. was glad that the schoolmistress as well as the shoolmaster was abroad in the parish of Aid. gate, and complimented the former upon her capability of deciding upon the qualifications of her pupils, and the beadle upon his jealousy concerning the literary character of his establishment. _ _ Several pickpockets were brought up, charged with having picked the packets of gentlemen of handkerchiefs. Pickpockets do their work every day in the city with wonderful dexterity. They get together in crowds, and contrive to attract the attention of a victim by giving a slight push at one side while they rob at the other. The LORD MAYOR said he was perfectly aware of the ingenuity practised. He had bought his experience too, and therefore was a good judge, for he bad lost half a dozen silk handkerchiefs lately. Upon one occasion, his pocket was picked, and he went into a shop and purchased a handkerchief, but he scarcely had pocketted it, when off it went into the possession of some prowling vagabond. His Lordship confessed, that ever since that occasion to let a pickpocket escape was a piece of magnanimity of which lie was not capab!e. The LORD MAYOR committed most of the offenders, but he discharged those whom it appeared possible to reclaim. Captain Baylen, of the Louisa, tit' Whitehaven, charged a woman of the pave, named Mary Shea, with having robbed him of his pocket-book, containing his ship's register and other meta of importance, but no money. The captain, it appeared, had dined with two gentle men who do good to mankind by delivering tracts and other proper pieces of instruction to the lower orders, and in the course of a dispute upon the Christian religion, he got so heated with zeal as to be obliged to apply frequent correctives to the thirst which followed. His friends would have taken care of him, but the subject had a simi lar effect upon them, and they had recourse to the same means of supporting the controversy, so that when they separated they were all three staggering drunk. One of the tract-spreaders had the good fortune to fall into the hands of a new policeman, who gave him a share of the station-house for the night, while the other, in a fit of enthusiasm, looked about for a fit object upon which to exercise his calling, and lighted upon Mary Shea, who gave him so melancholy an account of her circumstances, that he accompanied her home to see whether she was speaking the truth. After having sympathised with her for about an hour, he fell into what low fellows call a snooze, and as Alary Shea began to feel a congenial thirst upon her, she emptied his pockets, and went off to a gin. shop on Tower-hill. It happened that Captain Baylen had turned into the saute consort?, and as he belonged to the profession to the members of which her acquaintance was limited, an intelligible sort of nod was exchanged, and they took a walk together, in the course of which the Captain seemed to have wholly forgotten the subject in which he had been late instructed. Upon going home he felt his pocket-book in his side pocket, and was sure that all was right ; but on taking it out in the morning, he was struck with surprise at finding that it was transformed into a bundle of religious tracts. The police, upon being informed of the robbery, soon found the thief and the pocket-book, and brought them before the Lord Mayor. changedcould give b e o f t r l a r c e t r s s e i l v f t S h h e e , forth at the e she p k h e a t t_l b o e o x k - The LORD MAYOR asked the prisoner what account she ith c a re p p t a l i i e n d merely as a sort of pledge that they would meet again, and that she never concealed the matter. A Jew crimp stated, that the prisoner applied to him to advance her some money on the ship's register. As he wished to learn the particulars, in order to have the pro perty returned to the owner, he took her to a gin-shop, where she confessed to him that she prigged the pocket book from a Captain, and left the tracts in place of it, " that he mightn't know the one from the other." The LORD MAYOR-And where did she say she got the tracts? The Jew—Please you, my Lord, she said she gived the value of them to a Gospel covey wot was lushy.—(A laugh.) The Loan MAYOR—Is the owner of the tracts here ? The Jew—No, please you, my Lord, he an't here-_I seed him a bit ago, but he said it wasn't fit for him to he in no rich a place, because you see, my Lord, it was here he tuck out his licence for to preach.--(Loud laughter.) The Loan MAYOR—I wish we could find him. The Jew—He's agoing for to hold forth to-morrow, please you, my Lotd, not fur from this; and if your Lordship don't like for to kick up a row among his con gregation, you are sure to find him a'terwards in the nearest ginegan a blowing of a c loud. —(Laughter.) The Loan M AYOR d es ired the officers if they o b serve d any tendency to a breach of the peace in the cond uc t o f the person just described to apprehend him. The Jew—Please you, my Lord, he wo n 't comm i t no breach. There's no noise" or nonsense about him. He never changes a feature, and he prays with his eyes shut, and every stitch as he has on looks just as if it come off the lining of a hearse.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Ilobler (to the prisoner)—Well, Miss Shea, we have often had you here for robbery. Prisoner—l know it, you ould son of a German ; and will again plaise the Lord. I only got out of the House of Correction yesterday, where I had two months, and no thanks to you for it. _ Mr. nobler—l think you shall have three this time. It would be inconvenient to the Captain to prosecute you, and therefore the Lord Mayor will lock you up. Prisoner—l ish you and 1 was locked up together, my ould fogy ; and if I wouldn't pull off that rusty ould shell of your's, I am not a living woman.--(Laughter.) The prisoner was committed to Bridewell for three months. MAR YLEB ONE. Saturday Mrs. Wright, supported by Miss Biddy Ha nagan, Torn Connors, one of the Ha) eses (of the tender sex), ould Phil Moriarty, who brought home one leg and a hundred fights from the Peninshu/a, and a host of oaers, was placed on the right, while Mrs. Moxon, backed with an equally formidable array, took her stand on the left. Mrs. Moxon was the complainant, and though standing on the left, yet, as complainant, as well as by " the rule of the road," " she was sure to be right ;" ac cordingly, after the necessary oath was administered, dur ing which the Wright party bid her " be sure to kiss the book well," no doubt being of opinion that the quantity of truth to be told is measured by the heartiness of the kiss,—" On Winsday mornin' last," began hire. Moxon —Naughton it ought to be written, but the warrant of ficer thought, in his Saxon wisdom, he was improving it it into Moxon—" On Winsday mornin' last," began Mrs. Moxon, smoothing down her neat white apron, and dropping her very lowest, " as I was a standin' at my own doore, that woman, whatever she plases to call herself—" " Phase to call myself !" roared hire. Wright, " an' a'nt I a married woman as well as you are, a'ut I ?" Here the gentle creature thrust across the bar a piece of paper, which, from being doubled and opened, and doubled again so often, the creases had been worn away, and imposed upon its possessor the necessity of starching a piece of new paper on the back—" Here's my sartificatt, your Rev'rince, an' see if I call myself ' whatever she phases.'" Mr. Hos Kans assured her he entertained no doubt of her legal claim to the name of Wright, and therefore de declined examining her " letters of marque," requesting Mrs. Moxon tojproceed, which she, nothing loath, did ac cordingly. " As I was a Biqa, my Lord, I was a standin' at my own doore. Misthress Wright, if she plases, cum out of her doore an' challenged me to fight ; hut I tould her I was no fighter." ' Hit her, you —,' cried out her hus band (if she plases), putting his arms round her waist, an' pushes her foiled, ate' swore if she didn't hit me he'd hit her. So she hot me sure enough, an' tore the cap off my head. Here it is, your Wurchip; and then she laid hold of a curry-comb, an ' carded' me from top to toe, an'— " Quite enough," said Mr. Ilosuris, who seemed to dread the length of Mrs. Aloxon's last period ; " an as sault has been committed—what has Mrs. Wright to say." Mrs. Wright thrust forward a handful of black matted hair, and held it in the Magistrate's view for some mi nutes, in profound silence. The effect was dramatic " Hear my witnesses," exclaimed Mr. Moxon." " And hear my witnesses," vociferated the lady on the left ; and, shaking the handful of black lairs, she repeated, " Here's my witnesses." Mrs. Moxor.'s witnesses were heard, and, according to their testimony, not a more injured, quiet, peac ful, for bearing creature ever left the Emerald to mourn for her absence. A host was produced on the other side, and, according to their testimony, a more noxious, disorderly, un-peace able, overbearing being never emigrated from " the gem." Mr. HOSKINS said he had no doubt (nor had any one else) that there were faults on bath sides, and, to pre vent "carding," as well as hair-drawing, for the next twelve months, ordered Messieurs Moxon and Wright to enter into their recognizances for the orderly and peaceable demeanour of their respective gentle halves. A young woman, by no means destitute of personal attractions, applied to Mr. Hosxuss for his assistance, in enabling her to recover a sum of money of which she had been defrauded by a young man, under pretence of marry ing her. The young woman said she lived servant in a gentle man's family, where she became acquainted with a young man, who, after a due course of courtship, proposed mar riage to her, and she accepted the offer. She had saved some money, which, after the banns had been published, she placed in his hands, and quitted her station to prepare for the approaching event. The day at length arrived which was to crown her hopes, but, to her inexpressible astonishment, her expected •to-be lord and master never made his appearance. The sun went down without light ing him to her presence, and she set off to make inquiries respecting him, in the course of which she received the heart-rending intelligence that, on the very morning when he was to have pledged his faith to her, he led to the altar a more favoured sweetheart ! She had an interview with him, and applied for at least the restoration of her money ; but every application was fruitless, and she was unable to get back a shilling of it. What added considerably to his perfidy was, that he threw out insinuations injurious to her character. Mr. HOSKINS commiserated the poor girl very much, and said there could be but one opinion entertained re specting the fellow's conduct ; but he regretted the trans action was one with which a Magistrate could not interfere.

C. fiERRIES. The Duchess of CAMBRIDGE and the Prin cess AUGUSTA of Cambridge will take their departure from this country immediately after the Coronation. It is generally understood that the Rev. and Right Hon. Lord AUGUSTUS FITZCIADENCE will be the new Irish Bishop, in the room of Dr. PoNsoNnv, to be promoted. It is stated that the Right Hon. Lord FRE. DERAcic FITZCLARENCE is to be appointed Colonel-Coin. mandant of one of the Regiments of the Life Guards. Earl GREY (we understand) instantly upon hearing of the death of the Archbishop of DunuN, wrote to our venerable Bishop, offering to recommend his Lord ship to that see. The compliment was penned in the mist elegant and flattering manner, and though declined, is duly appreciated by the worthy Bishop, as we are sure it will be also by the puhlic.—Norwich Mercury. It consequence of so many Members having left town, or otherwise absented themselves, it ba.s been found difficult to muster more than half the House upon any of the recent divisions. The consequence, in all pro bability, will be a peremptory call of the House previous to the third reading of the Reform Bill. The new State Paper Office in St. James's Park, is in a considerable state of forwardness, and is ex pected to be ready for the reception of its destined con tents by the end of the year. The melancholy death of the Rev. C. SEMPLE, of Goldington, as mentioned in our last, has been followed, we regret to state, by another catastrophe equally dreadful. His brother was so powerfully affected by the shocking event, that in a fit of distraction he also put a period to his existence.—Bedford Gazette. A correspondent says it is to be hoped that the polls of the two Dublin elections will be forthwith pub lished, that it may he seen who the consistent people are who turned the balance upon each occasion. THE HARVEST. —The present harvest is un usually early— at least a fortnight earlier than in average years, and we have been accustomed to see the clops pretty much in the same state in the mi Idle of September, as that which they have now attained towards the close of the month of August. The harvest will this year be over before the appearance of the harvest moon. In the southern counties, the crops have been very generally secured in excellent condition, and in the north another fortnight of fine weather would leave in the fields little more than a tithe of the white corn. During the three first days of the present week a great deal of corn was cut, and not a little secured, but since that time the weather has been less far ourable.—Leeds Mercury. r , PRICES OF THE STOCKS Bank Stock 3 per Cent.
