DESPATCHES of the POLISH GENERALS. " To the NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. " The COMAIANDER-IN-CHIEF of the ARMY. " In the completion of my report of the 28th of April, I have the honour to communicate to the National Government, that in the battle decided on the 28th, near Ruflow, Colonel Dembinski, with the 4th regiment of the cavalry of Podlacliec, two squadrons of the Ist regiment of Masovia, 21 bat talions of infantry, and four pieces of light artillery, supported by an advantageous position, sustained a continued combat with the front of the enemy's main army, under a cannonadMe of sixtee inn field piece., commanded by the Field-arshal person. At length, on receiving orders, be withdrew towards Ceglou. In this affair our loss amounted to eighteen killed, among whom was one officer, and twenty-three wounded. " Major Potkanski, of the Quarter-Master's Staff, and Captain Sudlucki, of the 4th regiment of Hu lane, particularly distinguished themselves. " In the contest with the rear-guard in Minsk, G en eral Gielgua had eight battalions of infantry, six field-pieces, and twelve of smaller calibre. His position was behind Minsk, and he occupied the town with one battalion. Before Minsk General C. Skarzynski was posted with the 2d Regiment of Cavalry Jagers, and the 3d Regiment of Lancers, under the command of General Keiki, with four cannon of the Ist Battery of Light Horse Artillery : the remaining part of his division stood behind Miesk,on the left wing of Gen. Gielgua. The enemy approached the small town of Ciglou, and at 11 a.m. his columns began to issue from the woods and to attack our cavalry, which sustained the first assault. But as the whole corps under General Pahlen deve loped itself, which was alone more than double the strength of our whole rear-guard, Gen. Skarzynski withdrew on his position on the other side of Minsk. " General Gielgua, after having repulsed the false attacks of the enemy during two hours, was pur sued, and, perceiving that the number of Russians continually increased, commenced his retreat in cchelion, according to instructions, without obstruc tion, and in the most perfect order, to Stojadlo and Dembywielki. I cannot extol too highly the pru dence of General Gielgua, as well as the army ; the retreat was effected with great courage and coolness. The half-battery commanded by Lieut. Prizizdziecki particularly distinguished itself in the contest at Minsk. This day we lost, in killed, three officers and eighty-five privates and subalterns : in wounded, eight officers, and one hundred and eighty-four pri vates and subalterns : among the former is Lieut.- Colonel Joski. " From the concealed and previously chosen po sition of our artillery, its operation was destructive, and produced incomparably greater loss to the enemy. According to the report of the Russian prisoners, Colonel Borysson, of the artillery, is killed, and Lieutenant-General Skobelef and Major Phesze dangerously wounded ; General Pahlen, the com mander of the corps, received a severe contusion. " After the contest at Minsk, I occupied the po sition at Demby, where I expected the enemy. I determined to accept battle, which it appeared to me he was willing to give, for 1 could riot otherwise explain an offensive movement effected with his whole force, which he seemed to assemble expressly near Demby. In the night of the 29th, contrary to my expectation, the enemy commenced a retrograde motion. Our advanced guard immediately pursued him, and brought in prisoners from all sides. " In the night of the 30th of April, Lieutenant Sierawski, with thirty of the sth Chasseurs a cheval, fell unexpectedly on the rear of a whole regiment of Cossacks, near Tezebusza, killed a great number, made many prisoners, and dispersed the remainder in the neighbouring forests. " Since I have confided tjte command of the army, which was on the left bank of the Vistula, to Ge neral Dziekenski, he has had several successful skirmishes in the provinces of Lublin, which have produced us no loss, but occasioned considerable to the enemy in killed, wounded, and prisoners ; be sides, a sum of 7,156 Polish florins has been retaken from the Government chests, and forwarded to the National Treasury. " On the retreat of the enemy, vestiges of great devastation appeared every where. Our soldiers were struck with horror to witness the traces of Russian barbarity : their rage extends even to in animate objects, as houses, furniture, &c. Places of worship are not respected; the church of Olexin has been completely pillaged, and the abode of the cler gyman burnt. " Sometimes, however, the leaders of the army show feeling and Inimamity : I am gratified to ac knowledge it, arid render them justice,—for instance, the Field-Marshal finding about 50 of our wounded in Minsk, ordered them to be taken care of. The conduct of General Kreutz has been noble towards the officers made prisoners in the corps commanded by General Sierawski; but it is, on the other hand, painful for me to report that the enemy, contrary to his solemn promise, has sent away two of our phy siciarv, who had been sent expressly to the hospital in Mienic, to superintend patients afflicted with cholera morbus. In respect to the operations io Voillynia, I have the honour to communicate, to the National Government the report of Gen. Dwernicki. . " REPORT OF GENERAL DWERNICKI. " I left Druskopol the 16th of April, and arrived at Boromel, a small town on the left bank of the river Styr, at noon on the same day. I immediately gave orders to reconstruct the bridge, which the enemy had destroyed on his retreat. " This order being executed in four hours, I commanded a thick forest, situated on the other side of the river, to be occupied with a battalion of infantry, through which a road led to the enemy's camp. " I employed the whole of the 17th to make ob servations, and to assure myself of the Russian force, which I was able to ascertain from personal observation amounted to 12,000 regular troops in infantry and cavalry, supported by 22 cannons. " At day-break on the 18th the enemy pressed nn the forest, guarded by one of our battalions, with his whole infantry, eight battalions strong, seeking to operate the passage of the bridge; he brought forward six pieces of artillery, protected by which he expected to accomplish his object, but after a cannonade, continued for several bouts on both sides, he found himself thwarted and could not succeed. During the night he had four pieces of artillery dismounted, and ourgrape-shot operating on the masses of infantry advancing from the forest, produced enormous loss. On our side 15 were wounded, amongst whom were two officers and Major Szymanaski slightly. " On the 19th, the enemy having taken posses sion of the forest with a strong force of infantry and artillery, conducted his main force to the vil lages of Chryliki and Krasne, a mile distant from Boromd, where he passed the river, and conzen tvated his force near Nowosielki, on the left bank. Having left my infantry and two cannon to obstruct the enemy's passage of the bridge, I went to meet Huse masses, commanded by General Rudiger. 1 six squadrons to guard the road to Be restaezko,achd e in case he should make an attack on me in that position, which I supposed to be his intention. " The combat commenced by a well-supported fire film all th e 94th, highly enemy'scelebrated in artillery, of which the wade part. the Turkish campaign, - - " These were answered by eight -pounders only of oars, the remainder being actively Employed v cavalry, t r nPloYed la other ~ Two brave charges executed b the dear who, in forming, sung `'Thou wilst y in ' Poland, perish,' threw the enemy backsxowbrtdey,yroent4 village of Sowosielki in the greatest di he had collected his dispersed columns and '' o vll [ , e,'e refuge in the adjoining woods : the advanced hour O t t the night did not allow me to pursue them further. We took eight cannons, of which three are ~ o mec: damaged as to be unfit ler service. ifs loss in killed is very considerable, as there are 80U wounded, among whom is General Plackoff, mortally. ..c.We have made, moreover, JO prisoners, mon, them is Major Pietrowski, of the dragoons, and many officers of inferior rank. On our side two officers are severely wounded and taken prisoners ; 50 privates and subalterns killed or made prisoners, and eight officers and 60 privates and subalterrn. wounded. " After having thus removed the obstacles made by the enemy to my advance, I passed the night on the field of battle, which I quitted at break of day on the 20th, to proceed to Berestcizho, where I passed the Styr at a ford, and encamped near Cholyn. Ir. the morning of the 21st I arrived at Radziwilow, on the 22d at Tarez, ancl on the 23d at Kolodno. " In the camp at Kolodno, April 24. " The General of Division, DWERNICKI. " The Commander-in-Chief, SKRZYNECKI. " Head-quarters at Jedrzejow, May 2." " In approaching Povyck, I fell in with a regi ment of dragoons belonging to the corps of General Rudiger, which were beaten. Rudiger passed the S'yr, and burnt the bridge leading from Kasne to Boresturtu, where he took a position. I constructed a bridge by Boromel, where the advanced guard passed : but I was compelled to retreat, as the enemy brought several battalions and seven cannons against us. Rudiger went with his whole corps over ('hryniki, near Boromel, where I met him, and had a battle, when I took seven cannon and made 100 prisoners. The enemy had 18,000 men, and were not able to impede our advance. " On Wednesday I went to Beruteczko, and crossed the Styr. Rudiger assembled his whole force at Borembo : in order to secure my flanks I went close to the Austrian frontiers, and passed through Radziwilow and Paezaiou; from thence I went to wards Krzemiamie, but General Rudiger approached it before me by a nearer way from Borembo. As he occupied a strong position by this town, I was not able to attack him, and marched to Kolodno, where I was followed by several pulks of cavalry. " Prisoners inform me it was the enemy's inten tion to occupy a very strong position at Wyczo groelk on an eminence between Lutynce, in Vol hynia, and Glince in Gallicia. I made forced marches and took possession of this place. " Rudiger approached with great reinforcements, viz. 72 squadrons of cavalry, and IS battalions of infantry, supported by powerful artillery. " I entertained no fear for this superiority, as my front and right wing were almost unattackable, and my rear was close to the Gallician frontier. Rudiger manceuvred for two days, moving his forces some times to the right, sometimes to the left, probably to alarm or induce me to quit the position I occu pit d. As he could not succeed in this, he de tached, on the 26th, in the night, some thousands of cavalry towards Gallicia in my rear ; he took on himself to disperse the soldiers on the Austrian frontiers, and took the scythes with which they were armed from them. " On the 27th the whole corps advanced on my left wing, and some chasseuts on the right, in the same place where they entered Gallicia in the night. " It was now evident that I could be attacked on all sides, and that the frontiers no longer afforded me protection. It being impossible for me to oppose a corps eight times stronger than my own, I was com pelled to withdraw to Gallicia, after I had informed the Commander of the frontiers. " Rudiger paid no respect to the frontiers; his column occupied the Austrian territory, andodthough my rear-guard did not fire a shot, according to my strict orders, the Russians unceasingly fired on our troops. Many of our people were wounded, and 20 taken prisoners. " The Austrian corps of hussars and infantry caused them to suspend their operations; but they held their position half a mile from the frontiers, near the village of Lasiecznik, and left it five hours afterwards. I was posted at Chlebanowska, the place appointed me by the Austrian Colonel Fak. I sent a courier to Prince Lubkowitz, requesting him to allow me to proceed through to Poland. " I entreat the National Government to adopt measures for the safety of my corps, which has done all in its power for the welfare of the country up to this time, and may be of great benefit in future. - " DWERNICKI.

ANOTHER ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, A few evenings since considerable consternation was excited among the inmates of No. 23, Bury street, St. James's, by the discovery that a most extensive robbery had taken place in the apartments of Adolphus Goldschmidt, Esq., and valuable pro perty to the amount of between 8001. and 9001. carried off. It appears that advantage had been taken of the temporary absence of the above gentle man and his wife, to enter their suite of apartments when a mahogany jewel-case was forcibly broken open, and the undermentioned property abstracted therefrom, viz., ninety Louis d'ors, eight sovereigns and some silver, two rows of pearls, one gold chain, with a gold heart attached, one case, con taining a coral bracelet and ear-rings, one case with a bracelet and a ring attached by the chain to the bracelet, two gold bracelets studded with turquoise on black velvet ribbons, one row of coral with a cross, two cases filled with rings, three shirt buttons, one ruby, one turquoise, and one emerald, studded with diamonds, four ena melled shirt buttons attached to each other by a small gold chain, two hair bracelets with gold locks, studded with turquoises, two chain gold ear ) ings, one double gold eye-glass, one circular diamond brooch of five or seven diamonds, with a small Ve netian gold chain attached, in a red morocco case, one Manilla made gold chain, about one yard and a half long, and two blue enamelled buckles. From the circumstance of the robbery having been com mitted between ten and eleven o'clock at night, at which time Mr. Goldschmidt and his lady were from home, and it being evident that no violent means had been resorted to, in order to gain admittance to the house, suspicion at once rested upon the servants on the premises, and measures to trace the delinquent were instantly set on foot. Information was given to the police at the St. James's station-house, when it was ascertained that Elizabeth Carrol, servant to the landlady of the house, was seen a short period previous to Mr. Goldschmidt discovering his loss, in conversation with a strange man at the door of the house. On being interrogated, we are given to understand that she positively contradicted the assertion of her having been at the door with any individual; but another servant in the house de clared most solemnly that she observed the man and the accused at the door together, on the night of the robbery. On her boxes being searched, several articles of wearing apparel, but of trifling value, belonging to Mrs. Goldschmidt, were dis covered therein : and this, together with the evi dence of the other servant, was deemed sufficient to warrant her being given into custody; and she ac cordingly underwent an examination at Marlborough street Police-office, but it was of a private nature. She was remanded till yesterday, when she was again brought up, and underwent another private examination. We are informed that the prisoner was, during the whole time, in a state of extreme agitation; and that, although there was no positive evidence which could tend to criminate her, yet enough was adduced to warrant the Magistrate in again remanding her for another examination on Monday, on suspicion of being an accessory to the robbery; when it is believed that the Police will be enabled to bring forth additional evidence. A reward of 751. has been offered by Mr. Goldschmidt on the conviction of the party or parties concerned and the recovery of the property, or in proportion for such part thereof. JUVENILE DRUNKAItDS.--An inquest was liel,l on Wednesday, at the Earl of Warwick, Belton•street, Long-acre, on JEREMIAH DUGGAN, a lad sixteen years of age, who, with another youth, on Saturday night last, went to different g i n-shops and drank eight glasses of gin—in the NI hole a pint of gin each. The deceased was taken home insensible, and died before next morning. Verdict—Died from excessive drinking of ardent spirits. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1831. Lords ALTIIORP and MILTON, we are de lighted to find, still head the poll at Northamp ton, and this despite the desperate exertions of the Anti-Reformers, who from the very corn.; mencement of the contest, and indeed long before, have left no stone unturned to enable them to return their favourite candidates. Mr. CARTWRIGHT we see hints pretty broadly his intention of keeping the poll open to the last moment allowed by law. Surely this is an act of very superfluous perseverance, and one that cannot fail to show the extreme weak ness and unpopularity of the Anti-Reformers in that very county which they have so long been in the habit of boasting was wholly and unanimously their own. If Mr. CARTWRIGHT possesses the virtue of discretion, he will follow the example of the majority of his brother Ultras, and retire in time from a contest in which he must inevitably be defeated. The Paris Journals of Wednesday, and the Gazette de France and Messager des Charnbres of yesterday's date, have been recived. They contain no news of moment. The National, In an alleged private letter from Venice, an. nounces that a still further increase of the Austrian army is to take place, but the report is not deemed worthy of credit at Paris.

The Allgenzeine Zeitztng is chiefly filled with particulars respecting the disputes between the Porte and the Paella of SCUTARI ; among other statements it says that letters from Bel grade, of May 1, say that the Grand Vizier, who was invested in Bitoglia by the insurgents, had been obliged to surrender for want of provisions FROM THE TURKISH FRONTIERS, APRIL 30.—0 n the 20th inst. Karabeg Oglou, one of the chiefs of the insur gents, entered Sophia with 10,000 men, after the garrhs" of 1,200 men had obtained permission to retire unmo lested. The Grand Vizier is closely invested by the insur gents in Bitoglia (otherwise Monastir), but it is reported that Hussien Pacha is on his march from Adrianople with 30,000 men to relieve him. On the other hand it is said that the people of Lower Albania, under the Pacha of Croia, are arming against Mustapha Pacha, their hatred to whom is said to exceed their dislike to the innovations introduced by the Porte, and their resentment at the to acherous conduct of th e G ran d Vi z i er t o their Chiefs. The reason of this hatred is stated to be that Mos" tapha Paella, last year, dismissed a deputation from Lower Albania, who came to ask his assistance, with the rough answer , " that he had nothing to do with their disputes with the Porte." BELGRADE, MAY 2.—Accounts from persons worthy of credit, dated Leopiz, April 24, leave no doubt that . the Pacha of Scutari intends to attack the Grand Vizier un mediately. The greater part of his troops is already ad vancing to Bitoglia for this purpose, and has partly already passed the river Vardar, at Koeperlik and the town of Perlipe ; his van-guard is now three leagues beyond that town, and about five leagues from Bitoglia. On the other side, Zelsdy, Bey of Dibra, has approached within some leagues of Bitogli t, and another corps of insurgents is said to be coming from Lower Albania, so that the Grand Vizier's communications are every where interrupted and menaced, but it is still not impossible for him to retreat towards Seres, as there are only marauding parties on that side, and the Grand Vizier's array is supposed to amount still to above 20,000 regular troops. Aticsau au, MAY 12.—Letters from Belgrade, of May 1, say that the Grand Vizier, who was invested in Bitoglia by the insurgents, had been obliged to surrender from want of provisions. The Courier of Greece contains the following article : " During the inveterate contest between the Albanian• and the troops of the Grand Vizier, some battalions of Greek troops were stationed on the frontiers. The Grand Vizier requested the Greek Government not to allow the Albanians, whom he pursued, to take refuge in the Greek territory ; on which the Greek Government gave to its civil and military Governors such orders as shewed its de sire to be on terms of good neighbourhood with the Turks." Vaccination has been introduced into Greece by the assistance of the physicians of the French troops. The Turkish authorities having allowed the exportation of live cattle to the continent of Greece, which it had pre viously prohibited, the Greek Government, by a circular of the 23d of January, has also allowed the exportation of them. - --- VIENNA, MAY 9. —Metalliques 71i ; Bank Shares, ,023.

Letters of the 6th May, from Madrid, state that infor mation had been received there from the Havannah, stating that M. Claude Pinillos, Intendant-General of the island of Cuba, was to embark for Spain, charged with a mission from the Mexican Government, to demand of Spain the acknowledgment of their independence, for which the Mexican Government would conclude with Spain an ar mistice for ten years, with a treaty of commerce. The accounts from SeviJe state that the number of dis tinguished persons imprisoned there was thirty-four, of which four officers of the Queen's Regiment made a part. The last letters from Cidiz say, that about five thousand persons have been expelled that city. EAST INDIES. Head-Quarters ou the Jellinghee, Nov. 5, 1830. The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct that the following General Order, which was issued to his Majesty's Regiments in India on the 3d inst. be published to the army : " Head-Quat ters, on the River Jellinghee, Nov. 3, 1830 " No. 510.—At a General Court Martial held at Ban• galore, on Thursday, the 26th day of August, 1830, Lieutenant and Brevet-Captain Waldron Kelly, o f I ns Majesty's 26th (or Cameronian) Regiment of Foot, was arraigned on the following charge—viz. " For scandalous and infamous conduct, such as is un becoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances : " For having, at Bangalore, on the:2oth of August, 1830, wantonly, and without provocation, struck Ensign William Hake, of the Honourable East India Company's Service, and attached to the 39th regiment of Native In fantry, a violent blow in his face, with his clenched hand. " For having at the same time and place, though in formed by Ensign William Hake that lie was an officer, again violently struck him in the face with his clenched hand, at the same time making use of the most insulting language to him, the said Ensign Hake, by saying you are not worth a damn ; if you are worth a damn, y ou know where I live,' or words to that effect. " The above being in breach of the articles of war." Upon which charge the Couit came to the fol lowing decision : " The Court having maturely weighed and considered the evidence for the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, with the evidence thereon, is of opinion : " On the first charge, that he is Guilty. " On the second charge, that he is Guilty.

They write from Prevesa that a corps of 14,000 young Greeks have assembled to march against the Grand Vizier. They have sworn to avenge themselves pr the death of some Greek Captains, whom Redschid Pacha put to death at Janina. Letters from Semlin state that the Grand Sultan has made an appeal to all true Alussulmen, calling on them to take up arms and march against the rebels. The events now passing in Turkey are considered at Vienna of the utmost importance. They write from Cracow to say, that Field-Marshal Diebitsch has felt the difficulty of advancing to Praga, in consequence of which he has taken the resolution to cause a corps of the Imperial Guard to pass the Vistula, which were joined to General Pahlen near Plock, while he himself, at the head of the army, is going to cross at Pulawy ; but this cannot be so easily executed, for, besides the scarcity of provisions in this ruined country, he has no positions, as they were burnt on his re treat to Rittie, and it will require some time to construct new ones. General Chlopieki is healed of his wounds, and is going in a few days to Warsaw. The Journals of the East express great uneasiness on the state of these departments. It is stated that in Marbiham fifteen communes have risen up, and four men and a ser jeant of the line have been assassinated; and that in La Vendee, Diot with his band is hovering about the country, sleeping in the villages and in the farms; his appearance causes great anxiety. The following is an extract of a letter from Warsaw, from an English doctor:—" Having arrived in this town with Mr. Webb and my other confreres, we were imme diately employed at the grand hospital; we are not idle owing to the great number of wounded ; there are about fourteen thousand persons who are ill and wounded.

It appeared on the Coroner's inquest, that on leaving work for the day, he was attempting with a stick, in his usual manner, to throw a strap which was being driven by the powerful steam-engine belonging to the manufactory, when the stick came in con tact with the buckle of the strap, and was wrested out of his hand, and carried with velocity along with the strap, and in its way violently and fatally struck him in the lower part of the abdomen. There was not the least appear. ance of any external bruise. The unfortunate young man, who was only about nineteen years of age, survived the accident but twenty-four hours. Verdict—" Accident."

COUNTY CLARE.—Captain Cox, of Mount pleasant, near Kilrush, was out on patrol last Wednesday night, with two policemen and 11 of the sth Regiment, when, after a pursuit of several miles, he came tip, abut two o'clock in the morning, with a party of insurgents, in the vicinity of Kiikee. They were after breaking in the house-door of a poor farmer, and were flogging him on the calves of the legs with a great cart-whip, when Captain Cox came in view ; one of the scouts i m mediately at sh teuipted to fire, but his piece burnt pi lini n g . and the t wo police discharged their carbines.

PALACE COURT (SCOTLAND-YARD). CAUTION TO BROKERS. - TRESPASS. BAFFIN V. WYNN. This was an inquiry as to the value of some household furniture, that had been illegally taken away by the de fendant from the plaintiff, in lieu of rent of which he was in arrear. The action was tried on a former day, and the defendant suffered judgment to go by default. The facts of the case are these :—Tbe plaintiff, who is a po'or man, working in Covent-garden-market, with his family in January last rented a room in the house of the defendant, in Earl-street, Seven-dials. The plaintiff unfortunately became indebted to defendant 30s. for rent, and not being able to discharge it, the defendant en tered the apartment, and sans cerentonie stripped the room of all its contents, and took them into his own possession. The family, by this illegal and arbitrary act, was thereby deprived of not only a home, but a bed to lie upon. The seizure being found to be totally against the Act of Parliament regulating the recovery of rent by brokers, the action was brought for the trespass, and to recover back from the defendant the value of the furniture taken away. The witnesses for the plaintiff valued the goods at the sum of 71. ; but, upon a rigid examination by the JUDGE, they could only make it appear they were worth Si. 10s. Those for the defendant, on the contrary, said they were worth 2 ts. ; and one (a broker) declared them to be dear at 12s. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case to the Jury, told them that there could be no doubt but the defendant had infringed upon the Act of Parliament regulating the conduct of brokers. Instead of acting in the manner laid down by the statute, and bringing them to the hammer, he had thought proper to detain them in his own possession, without rendering to tl e plaintiff any account of them ; that he, the defendant, had made himself liable there could be no doubt ; therefore the only question for the Jury to consider was, what value ought to be put upon the goods. The plain tiff had valued them at 31. 10.., and the defendant's wit nesses at 1/. 4s. and 12s. It would be therefore for them, under all the circumstances, to say to which party they would give credit, and say to what amount the plaintiff was entitled. The Jury merely turned round, and then gave a ver dict for the plaintiff, allowing him 4/. for the furniture. The verdict gave much satisfaction. LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) This morning the London General Session of the Peace was held by adjournment at Guildhall, before Aldermen SCHOLEY, GARRETT, and COPELAND, the two Sheriffs, and the RECORDER. David Sawyer was indicted for assaulting John Farmer, a nightly patrol and watchman, belonging to Newgate-street, on the night of the 7th instant, whilst in the execution of his duty. The defendant, on the night in question, was creating a disturbance with the shopman, at the poulterer's shop, ac the corner of Newgate-market ; he was desired by him to walk on quietly, but he refused, whereupon he, the watchman, took him by the collar to remove him, when he struck him a violent blow in the face and knocked him down ; he then took him before the Alderman next morn ing, and he had been confined ever since.--The Jury found him Guilty. The defendant, who stated himself to be a higgler, said he would admit striking the watchman, who at the time he considered acted rather prematurely. He was now, however, heartily sony for what he bad done, and hoped, as he had a family, consisting of eleven small children, the Court would be as merciful as it could in its judgment upon him. The RECORDER enquired bow long he bad been im prisoned ? Alt. Teague, the keeper of the Compter, said he had been with him about a fortnight. The RECORDER said, under the circumstances, the Court considered the punishment be had already expe rienced would be sufficient to teach him to behave with more propriety for the future. The defendant was then ordered to pay a fine of sly pence to the King, and be discharged. A cabriolet-driver, named French, was indicted for driving his cab against the cart of a woman named Ann Smith, by which she was thrown out, and received many severe bruises. The prosecutrix and her witnesses were called, but did not answer. The defendant aaid he bad served her with notice of trial, and the person who served it upon her was in Court, ready to make oath to that effect. The RECORDER ordered him to enter into his own re cognizance in eighty pounds, to appear to answer the charge at the next sitting of the Court. The defendant having done so was discharged. The Court then adjourned. COURT CIRCULAR. Their MAJESTIES entertained the Landgravine of Hess% Hosinuap, the Princess AUGUSTA, and a select party, at dinner, on Wednesday evening, at the Palace at St. James's.

The new Novel of " The Young Duke," has bad already, we understand, the honour of two separate translations in Paris, where the work is a prodigious favourite. The French critics say that " The Young Duke" is a perfect fulfilment of the high promise held out b the author's first work, " Vivian Grey." ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The fine collec tion of this Society in the Regent's Park has just received a most importint addition by the purchase of a noble male elephant, recently arrived from Madras. Preparations have been already commenced fur inclosing with a substan• tial fence a portion of the Society's garden, as a paddock in which he is to range ; and in the centre of which is to he formed a spacious pond for the huge animal to bathe ill; an indulgence peculiarly grateful to these animals. The elephant reached the gardens on the night of Friday, having walked from the East India Docks in little more tha n two hours. His paces were so active as to compel the keepers who accompanied him to run frequently, in oftle i r to p frith h s immediately confinededlii seemed, a e tel y at having regained th? power of exercising his limbs with somewhat freedom ; and it is rather surprising that /A. :Cu indeed, to be please,' used tX een arrived in England by way of China, whither the coo rroceeded alter quitting Madras.
