POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - (THIS DAY. GUILDHALL. Thomas Hitchman, who has been remanded so veral times, on a charge of having been supposed to have put the names of Bache and Co., curriers, to a book, as a receipt for a parcel of goods which they said they had never received, nor was the signature theirs, was again brought up, and no sufficient evi dence having been brought forward against him, he was discharged. The silks have never since been heard of. Anne Osborne was charged with an intention to drop her child. Barnes, a watchman, of Cripplegate Without, was called by the landlord of the White Horse, Cripplegate, to search the prisoner, who he observed to have a rather curiously packed up bundle of rags. It turned out to be a child, and which this suspicious landlord, Mr. George, believed he was to have been saddled with. The watchman thought fit to take the poor woman to the watch-house. To-day she denied any such intention; she said that she came to London for the purpose of receiving her husband's pension from the West of England, and that George being from the same part of the country, she called on him in the hope of getting from him a drop of beer. Mr. Alderman THOMPSCN gave her a couple of shillings, and ordered her to be discharged. The person named Pearson, who has been prodi giously busying himself about the management of the watch, stepped forward, and begged further to be allowed liberally to assist the poor woman and child, by handing over one shilling I in addition to the worthy Alderman's two. 130 W-STREET. Mr. Thomas, the active constable of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, appeared this morning before Mr. MINSTIULL, charging Charlotte Hayward and Sarah Smith, with having used immoral and disgusting language, under the Piazza while the audience were retiring from the Theatre last night. Mr. MINSIIIILL asked if he had seen them do any distinct act as as a breach of the peace. Mr. Thomas said, that they had been insulting decently dressed females of the same profession, (Cyprians), who were behaving themselves discreetly. Directly the defendants saw him, they commenced an attack upon him, accusing him of having taken bribes from the more comfortable of " the trade" to oppress the others : in fact, he was obliged to give charge in order to get rid of them. MINSIIULL said there was a case against them, which would warrant him in committing them, and he would do so for seven days. Mr. Thomas stated, that the oldest inhabitant of the parish of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, had never known a time when the streets were so peaceable, and the frequenters so orderly as at present. Ho must cordially thanked the Magistrates of this Office for the assistance they had lately rendered him in producing so happy a result. Mr. MiNsuuLt, said, that he hoped Mr. Thomas would continue his praiseworthy exertions. The following is given as a comparative state ment of the hours devoted respectively to business by the Lord Chancellors, ELDON and LYNDHURST, during Michaelmas Term, 1824, and the same term in 1827 Michaelmas Term, 1824, including the sittings before Term, Lord ELDON sat in Court— DAYS.

THE WOODLEY TROOP DINNER.—This corps was disbanded on Monday week at Read ing, on which occasion the members dined to gether at the Broadface Inn, Capt a i n M on t ag u (their Commander) in the Chair. The anticipated consumption of whiskey at the a pproaching new year cont i nues to give a strong impulse to the distilleries ; and the commodity is disposed of as fast as it can be manufactured. The wholesale merchants are adding considerably to their stocks; and are busily employed in sup plying, their customers who sell by retail. The town is as usual inundated with bills offering good whiskey at 2d. per gill," and upwards.— Glasgow Chronicle. The iron trade continues in a satisfactory state. No. 1 pig iron sells at 61. a ton, and the inferior qualities in proportion. The de mand for the Irish founderies is stationary ; but good sales of Scottish iron have been effected in England. This arises from the practice in troduced of late years in the foundries of mix ing metal of different qualities together. 'Welch, Staffordshire, and Scottish iron, will be thrown into the cupola together, and this amalgamation produces a much better casting.—Stockport Advertiser. PORT OF LIVERPOOL. On the 24th instant, the half-yearly amount of the Dock Duties was made up. It presents the gratifying feature of an increase over the cor responding half-year of 1826. The number of vessels which have entered the port even exceed the corresponding half-year of the celebrated year 1825.

For the consolation of those (no smal . number) who not content with being great in intellect, would wish, like Madame de Steel, to be equally imposing in person, we subjoin a list of worthieS;distinguished both in ancient and modern times, as much by their powers of mind, as the singular diminitive insignificance of their " outer man." The catalogue is far from com plete, being, in fact, the mere hasty recollections of the moment. If, however, the reader will be at the trouble of adding his own reminiscences, it may be swollen (like the Solway river just at present) to a " pretty considerable" extent. In the earlier periods of history, we find the names of Alexander the Great—too well known to be here further alluded to—Tyrtceus, a pedagogue and poet ; lEsop, famous for his dorsal exuberance ; Agesilaus, King of Sparta, who persisted in wearing old clothes ; Tydeus, one of the first of the Homeric heroes ; Horace, the mere recollection of whose genius lends such relish to a glass of good wine, or the social chit-chat of a fire side ; Augustus, a heartless hypocrite; Julian the Apostate, one of Gibbon's favourite heroes,who died so chivalrously in Persia ; Attila, King of the Huns, a low and swarthy Calmuck ; Stilicho, the Roman Genera], im mortalized by the ,genius of Claudian ; Narses, the eunuch, who, notwithstanding this accident, more than rivalled Belisarus ; John Zimisces, the Armenian Emperor of Constantinople, the " soul of a hero" pent up in the frame of a pigmy ; John Commenus, or Kalo Johannes, as he was ironically called, famous for abolishing the penalty of death throughout the East, during a reign at Byzantium of twenty-five years ; Peter the Hermit, the well known cause of the cru sading influenza ; Barlaam, the Byzantine monk, a man praised by Petrarch and Boccace ; Hip ponax, the satiric poet ; Peter Aretene, the pro fligate Florentine satirist, of whom kings stood in awe ; Montaigne, the most amusing and philosophical of egotists, whose very conceit pos sesses an indescribable charm ; Scarron, the French wit (a man awfully ugly); Richard III.; and Lord Keeper North, whose nerves were so much annoyed by the report, that he had ridden a rhinoceros. Coming down to a more modern period we have the Marquis of Montrose, whom Scott has familiarised to our minds ; Lord Peterborough, a hero standing five foot four inches in his shoes; Pope, famous for taking three glasses out of a pint of wine, and requesting his friends to help themselves freely to the remainder—also for his stately termination of the Dunciad ; Frederick the Great of Prussia, notorious for his Grena diers and his suppers ; Garrick, whose hawk's eye petrified a butcher in the sixth row of the pit ; Bishop Horseley, an able controversialist ; Paley, the wittiest of Divines, who could dispatch a leg of mutton at a meal ; Suwarrow, who took longer to change his linen than to overrun Poland ; Hoffman, the German romance writer, who seldom passed two nights in the wee!: without dreaming of the devil (vide " Foreign Quarterly Review") ; Colman, the translator of " Terence ; Talleyrand, the most adroit and amorous of statesmen ; Fouquier Tainville, the friend of Robespierre ; Ceracci, the sculptor, and apostle of liberty, who engraved Washington's bust, and always wore two watches ; Mavrocordato, whose latitude, we hear, exceeds his longitude ; Wil berforce, whom Sheridan so humorously repre sented at the watch-house; Dr. Herbert Marsh, a noted divinity scholar ; Curran, who was too witty to make a good Master of the Rolls ; the b di u d t ly hi i g n h- t m he ind e e a d st e ; ot C h . os l i d a a s m t b ; e Barry Wellesley, whose sun rose so splen ,oramqvaulal,inat ( a E rr l y ia C ) pretty lady's poet ; Buona P arte ' the grandest of heroes ; A li Paella; Thomas Moore, one of the most v ar i ous l y g if te d o f mod ern writers ; Godwin, famous for tellina his only j good story of a day spent at John Jemble's, in compan y with Mrs. Siddons, Mrs. Inehbald, Sherida n, and Curran, when the discourse turned on,love— also for his masterly analytical tales of " Caleb Williams" and " Saint Leon" ; Messrs. Jef frey and Gifford, the rival critics of their day ; " little Quick," the favourite comedian of George 111. ; Knight, the most arch and gifted of rustic actors ; Edmund Kean, whose star, we fear, is low in the ascendant ; and lastly, Richard Sheill, the showy Irish orator and dramatist. if permitted to exalt " Blues" to the dignity and • privilege of manhood , we ma y then add to this imperfect catalog -e the names of Mrs. Radcliffe, whose portrait of the " Monk Schedoni," and " Description of Venice," are alone sufficient to immortalize her ; Lady Morgan, a politician in petticoats ; and Miss Edgeworth, whose tale of the " Absentee" has procured her so many ad mirers. The above philosophers, wits, heroes, and actors, have been all more or less distin guished by their diminutive appearance ; the list, as we said before, might be infinitely extended, but quite enough has been shown to keep in countenance eves the least and most insignifi cant in person among our modern great men. The li ne of learning is seldom the line of beauty. There never was a larger supply of the nzisle toe bush than there is this year. In Herefordshire , in particular, en p s a e rticular, the boughs of old apple tree s ( on which thi s cur i ous b us h grows) are covered with it. Upw a rds of twelve misletoe bushes ar e to perched as it were in some of the trees, and many of them of very large size. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. A gentleman named Wood made his appearance here, last night, as Hawthorn, in the merry Opera of " Love in a Village." He is a very promising per former, possessed of an imposing figure—a cheerful manner, and good voice. His debut was highly successful. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Walter Trevelyan, M.A. has been in stituted by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells to the Rectory of Nettlecombe, Somersetshire, on the presentation of Sir John Trevelyan, Bart., vacant by the death of the venerable Archdeacon Trevely4n. Monday the Rev. J. D. Oland Crosse, B. A., of Exeter College, was instituted by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells to the Vicarage of Paulet, other wise Pawlett, Somersetshire, at the presentation of the Crown. On the same day, the Rev. James White, B.A. was licensed by his Lordship to the Perpetual Curacy of Stoke-lane, in that county, on the nomination of the Rev. Jacob Fussell, Vicar of Doulting, with the several Chapels annexed. The Rev. Henry Ellis has been appointed by his Majesty Principal Librarian at the British Museum, in the room of the late Mr. Planta. More business than usual was transacted in tte Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon, and on much higher terms than on last post day ; the principal advance was in the Exchange on Paris, which was quoted from 25. 47k. to 25. 52i. ; on Hamburgh from 36. 31. to 36. 4. ; and on Amsterdam, from 12. 1. to I,f. Owing to the favourable statement of the affairs of the Bank at Lisbon received by the last mail, the Exchange on that capital, instead of falling, is rather higher.—The exporta tion of the precious metals can now be attended with so little profit, as to remove the fears which became so gene ral of a scarcity, on the previous reduction in the Ex changes.— Chronicle. GREECE.— No sooner had PirrrAr, King of Macedonia, and his son ALEXANDER, rendered themselves masters of Greece, than it was resolved to overturn the empire of Persia.—About A.M. 3,670, ALEXANDER marched an army of 35,000 Greeks into Asia. With these, in the three great. battles of Granicus, Issue, and Arbela, he, with but trifling loss, overthrew the Persian armies, which it seems were, in the two first battles, about five or six hundred thousand ; and in the last, ten or eleven hundred thousand. In six years he made himself master of tke Persian empire, and part of India ; and died, leav ing an empire about 4,000 miles in length.

That changes of a very extraordinary nature have taken place, in the lapse of time, on the neighbouring coasts of Cheshire, as well as upon our own shore, to the northward of this town, is very evident to any one who has observed the relics of what has formerly existed. We should state, by way of illustrating this proposition, one simple fact,—that trunks and roots of trees are to be found buried under the sand below high water mark, bearing evident proofs, from their, amazing size, and extended ramifications, of their having had a living existence at one time on the spot where the roots are now seen (however re mote it is not our present business to inquire), exhibiting the presence of forests of great mag nitude. These remains are found upon the sea shore in the neighbourhood of Crosby, and ex tended along the sea-board as far as the Dee in Cheshire. This is a subject of curious specula tion, which has not unfrequently engaged our attention. To those who have had any experi ence in the cultivation of trees on the bleak and steril vicinity at the entrance of the Mersey, it will appear a puzzling question to solve, how forests could ever have existed where now there is a difficulty in rearing even a nursery. To this question we have never yet obtained a satisfac tory solution, nor had the least light thrown upon a circumstanee at present almost altogether lost sight of, but which is, in reference to the future, of no inconsiderable importance. There is no way of accounting for this singular change which the revolution of ages must have wrought on the present margin of the sea, but by supposing the absence of the water in long " gone-by times," and this itself will not help us out of the diffi culty, except by supposing that the boundaries of the deep were very distant, probably miles, from the highest point to which it now flows : this we infer from the difficulty of rearing trees of a moderate size at a distance of a quarter or half a mile from the borders. of the sea, in this neighbourhood. We are well aware that the observations which we have made will not apply to many parts of the sea coast or this kingdom, and we make them exclusively in reference, to our own vicinity, lying as it does so much exposed to the N.W. gales, which predo minate throughout the year. If, then, we have, in any degree, established the fact, that very im portant changes have taken place on the sea shore, at the entrance of the Mersey , sim p l y from observations, without calling in the aid of tradition, which would favour the supposition that formerly the shores of Lancashire and Cheshire were united where now the sea rolls its current magnificently round the rock point, or that they were, divided by a very narrow stream. Giving to traditions no more value than they now appear entitled to, we have the living testi mony of numbers of individuals to prove the ra pid advance of the sea on the entire line of coast from Leasowe Castle to the mouth of the Dee. Large tracts of grazing land on the margin of the sea have, by insensible degrees, been occu pied by successive encroachments of the water, and where once the gaieties of the race and rural sports enlivened the green sward, the water now beach, a c h, bark, an d sometimes present themselves tered oft rolls in terrific grandeur, and th e lif e l ess corpse of the mariner, and the disj o i n t e d frag ments on of the h'i sandy s shattered to the eye of the spectator in solemn contrast. There is no fiction in this : it is the ' simple lan guage of fact. A great portion of the land which lies betwixt the boundaries we have men tioned is considerably below the level of the tide at high water, and is only preserved, in many places, from the irruption of the ocean by a very insecure boundary of sand, casually thrown up by the operation of the wind and the waves. It would, however, be well if that fact were the case all along the bleak coast ; but how stands the fact ?' More than a mile of that part of the shore betwixt Leasowe Castle, and running westward of Leasowe light-house, this natural or artificial boundary is now entirely destroyed, and that gap is exposed to the gradual encroach ment of the water, without the slightest check to its further advances. _ ........ On Saturday last our attention was drawn to this subject by a friend, 'who stated, that on the Wednesday before, he understood that the sea had broken over in this spot, and had done con siderable damage to the pasture and other grounds on that part of the common. With a view to learn the particulars of the case, we visited the place on Monday, and with some difficulty found our way over the marsh, which now lies partially covered with salt water, aid. the following is the result of our inquiry :—On Wednesday, the 19th, the wind blew from the south-west, a violent gale, which raised the ticla from four to five feet above its expected height, which was rather under 20 feet. The water on that day broke over the Leasowe with resistless fury, inundating the common for several hundred yards inland, and in one part more than half a mile from its ordinary boundary ; filling the ditchers, pools, and covering the fields and enclosures of the poor cottagers, sweeping away many of their fences, saturating their gardens, pasture, and tillage land with salt water, thereby rendering thent comparatively barren for several years to come, even if they should be preserved free from an other similar visitation. The Leasowe Light house was encompassed with water, flowing up to the kitchen steps, and beating the ground with such violence, as to leave large_ hollows within a few yards of the building. Many young men could inform us from their own knowledge of the advance of the sea for several hundred yards, and described their having frequently seen the roots and trunks of large oaks, more than two hundred yards below the point of high water mark, lying amongst " black braes" (a kit n 1 of peat). There is one fact, however, of such an extraordinary nature, in reference to the advance of the watery deity over the territories of his rival element, that we are persuaded few if any of the inhabitants of the town, now living, are acquainted with. We had the relation from a venerable and intelligent cottager, whom we found in a clean but humble cottage on the margin of the marsh, sitting beside a group of his youthful descendants, a scene not rendered the less ' interesting by the presence of . the " thi cc months" widowed mother, who, with watery eye, stood pensive in the centre of her orphan brood, apologising for not having the apartment in better order. On b e ing asked what he knew in relation to the encroachment of the sea, since his early days, he replied, " These logs (pointing to the floor) on which my chair stands, were taken from the bottom of a well which in former 'days supplied us with water, but it now lies racked up and bu ried two or three hundred yards below the reach, of the tide. " Many a time," said the old vete ran, his eyes kindling into increased animation, " have I enjoyed the favourite sport of prison bars, when we used to assemble in our youthful days, more than a quarter of a mile from the pre sent flow of the tide. A light-house," continued the old man, " then stood far out on the beach, to the northward of the present one, nearly half a mile, if not altogether all out. That light house was long rendered useless by the encroach ment of the water ; it was pulled down, and the present one was built in the year 1763, and I • assisted in building it. At that time there was a high ridge of sand hills and mill grass, to keep off' the tide, at a considerable distance from the present light-house. The hills and grass are now all gone, and there is nothing now left to •,,, stop the water, which is making rapid approaches inlsnd; and, unless something be done, I know not what will become of us. Last week we suf fered terribly." To this recital we listened with intense inte rest, never having heard of the existence of the lighthouse to which the old man referred with such graphic vivacity. Probably perceiving something sceptical in our language'or manner, " It is true, you may depend upon it, Sir, I as sure you," rejoined the venerable old cottager, nearly approaching his ninetieth year. Well, and what is your opinion of the encroachments which the tide is making on your shore ? " Why, I think," continued he, " that the day is not very distant when the water will break over this Leasowe, and drown all the land, and then make its way to Liverpool through Wallasey Pchil." And what then ? " There will not be a suffi cient flow of water through the liew channel to admit ships of large burden ; but the current will, by this means, be so much altered in the neck of the Mersey, and will run with so much ess force, that it will endanger the navigation of ;he river, and ruin Liverpool." Mr. CRAWFORD, the Governor of Singa pore, with his family and suite, have arrived at GOULD'S Hotel, Jermyn-street. The remains of Captain BATHURST will be buried with military honours, at 11 o'clock in the fore noon of this day (Thursday), at Stonehouse-chapel. A procession, composed of the officers and men of the fleet, the Royal Marines, and all the troops in garrison, will at tend the body to its resting place. The procession will be formed at the Marine Barracks, where alLthe officers will appear with crape on the arm and sword-knot. The bat talion of the Royal Marines will bead the procession. . The body was landed yesterday at the Admiral's Yard, and con veyed privately to Marine Barracks. As an additional mark of respect to the deceased, the colours at the Citadel, St Nicholas Island, the Marine Practising Battery, and Mount Wiss, will be placed half-staff high, from 10 until 12 o'clock.—Plymouth Journal.
