PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. GENERAL PENITENTIARY, MILLBANK. Report of the Committee of the General Penitentiary at Millbank, for the reception of Convicts ; made in pursuance of the 59th Geo. 111. c. 136, sec. 16 ;---specifying the treatment and con- dition of the prisoners.--Feb. 1827. The number of prisoners confined in the Penitentiary at the 31st of December last, was 423 males, and 102 females. But the number now within the walls is 452 males and 105 females. The former are distributed through the four Pentagons belonging to male prisoners, but the latter are alI contained in one of the two Pentagons allotted for the reception of females, the other of those Pentagons being yet unoccupied. The fact of there being nothing injurious to the human con stitution, either in the site of the building, or in the discipline or. mode of life to which the prisoners confined in it are sub jected, is further confirmed since the last Report of the Com mittee in March last, by the good health which has constantly prevailed in the prison during that period. The number of those who died in 1826 is 15 ; of whom eleven were males, and four females ; but several of these died of disorders under which they laboured when they came into the prison ; and it stay be said - with truth, that the health of the prisoners, taken as a body, is better now than when they came into the Penitentiary. The prison not having been re-opened for the reception of prisoners till the 9th of August, 1824, no recommendations for the Royal mercy having since taken place on the part of the Com mittee, with the exception of that of a prisoner who had assisted in repelling an outrageous assault made by one of his fellow prisoners on one of the officers of the prison, and who received his Majesty's pardon on that account , as soon as it could be ascertained that employment would be provided for him by his friends. No other male prisoner has left the prison ; but one female prisoner has been pardoned, owing to circumstances connected with her original conviction. Her conduct had been uniformly good while she remained in the prison. The conduct and behaviour of the respective officers during the period to which this report applies, has been satisfactory ; and that of the prisoners in general orderly ; and the Committee have great reason to be satisfied with their readiness to receive in struction, and with their improvement in religious knowledge, as well as with the progress made by them in reading and writing ; but there are among them some profligate and turbulent charac ters, for whose outrageous conduct the punishments in use under the rules and regulations of the Penitentiary are by no means sufficient. The Committee have fount:, by experience, that confinement in a dark cell, though in most cases a severe and efficacious punish ment, operates very differently on different persons. It appears to lose much of its effect from repetition ; it cannot always be carried far without the danger of injuring the health of the pri soner; and there are individuals, men as well as boys, on whom it is found to produce little or no effect. The Committee are convinced that the framers of the statutes under which the Penitentiary is gow governed, acted erroneously in omitting the power of inflicting corporal punishment, when they re-enacted most of the other provisions of the 19th Geo. 111., the Act originally passed for the introduction of the Penitentiary system : and they are satisfied, that the revival of this power (a power which is possessed in every other criminal prison in this country) would be highly advantageous to the management of this . prison, provided such power were accompanied by regulations adequate to control the exercise of it, and to guard against its being abused.

It con tains no news from Spain or Portugal; but the private letter received by the same opportunity states that a telegraphic despatch had been received at Paris from Madrid, announcing that Gen. LONGA has been brought to trial, with several other Officers. The French Funds left off on Wednesday, 5 per Gents., at 101. 40. ; 3 per Cents. 69. 15. We sub.. jofi; the following extract : c ass yANTIN . opLF, JAN. 26.—The wrests continue since the discovery 'f the last conspiracy, and the agitation of the public is greater than ever. According to the last accounts from the Archipe lago, the Greeks Are following up their advantages, and the com munication with Ibrahim and the Seraskier is cut off. The Greeks are impatiently waiting the arrival of Ribeaupierre, when the conferences will be seriously resumed, in conjunction with Mr. Stratford Canning. The Gazette of Augsburgh, states from Trii‘ste, that since General Fa bvier is in the citadel of Athens, the Turks have continued to bombard the town. The Colonel had asked for an immediate supply of provisions, as Colonel Bourballi has determined to join him with 500 men, and 1,800 men under other Chiefs. - LIES OF THE DAY. .. (From the Constitutionnel.) We learn that the General who commands the Army of Obser vation, has already received orders from the Minister Calomarde, to enter Portugal, when an occasion offers, and to aid the Portu guese Royalists. A Proclamation against the English has been distributed in the Army, and in all the towns, without the know ledge of the King. The discld, sure of further conspiracies against the Portuguese Constitution, which we mentioned yester day to have been mule by the capture of the baggage of the Count de M oNT i.ALEGRE, has given rise to the most serious apprehension• Two facts have been established, which must pro- duce the most important consequences, Ist. That FERDINAND and the Portuguee Prin cesses in Spain have directly interfered in the affaic". of Portugal, and have not only fostered and encourag ed the rebels in their attack upon that country, but have actually so far connected the rebellion with them selves, as to have given directions with respect to the app ointment of the Officers to command the rebel corps ; and 2dly. That a majority of the House of Peers, a large portion of the Deputies, almost all the mer , chants and capitalists in Lisbon, and every convent but one, have been contributing to support the rebel cause. To such an extent have the ramifications of the conspiracy, even amongst the Senators, extended, that in the Chamber of Deputies, the motion of Ge neral CI. ALTDINo, for the production of the Papers, was got rid of, and the Secret Committee to which they were referred, were debating a proposition for ad dressing DON PEDRO in the Brazils on the subject ? Under such a state of things, we can hardly augur any other result than the" overthrow of a Constitution against which such extensive treason exists ; but if the Government should, notwithstanding these symp- toms, be able to maintain itself, the disclosures which have been made of the conduct of F E RDINAND must compel the Exec j iltive to declare war against Spain. The interference of FERDINAND no longer continues a matter of doubt, but is incontrovertibly proved, and in acts which no Government, profesSing to maintain independence, can tolerate for a moment. Portugal, however, is unable of herself to enter into a contest even with such a power as that of Spain with any chance of success ; and hence arises the question whether British support will be farther given for the maintenance of the integrity of a Government long and closely connected in ties of amity with Great Britain ? In a preceding column will be found a copy of a Representation addressed to the Queen of PORTUGAL, the original of which was found in the baggage of the Count DE MONTEALEGRE, and we subjoin an interesting extract of a letter from Lisbon on this subject : LisaoN, FEB. 21.—You are already informed, that among the baggage of the rebel army lately captured, was found a chest con taining the secret papers of that faction, the correspondence of their friends in Lisbon, and the particulars of the Apostolic and private contributions. You are therefore, probably, already in possession of more of the facts than I can safely collect here ; but if you are not, I must be content, unless I can procure a copy in time for the Pyramus, to inform you that almost all the Portu guese merchants and capitalists in Lisbon have been thus disco vered as contributors to the rebels. That a majority of the House of Peers• have been found aiding them by money and advice, that a large portion of the Deputies of the House of Commons are equally guilty ; and that every Portuguese Convent in Lisbon, with the exception of that of St. Bento, has been proved regu larly and periodically subscribing for their use. General Claudino in the House of Commons, moved for the production of these pa pers, but the parties interested were too strong to permit such a motion to he carried, and it was got rid of by a side-wind, and the nomination of a secret session to take them into consideration.— The secret session did take place yesterday, and as I understand, instead of one of the papers being read, or the name of a single traitor declared, the House was taken up with a proposition for addressing Don Pedro in the Brazils on the subject. This, I think, gives a finish to the cause of the Constitution, and-to the case which has been so triumphantly laid before the British Parliament, on the 12th of December. It was well known that papers were lately submitted to the Regent, proving the trea chery with which, at that moment, a part of her councils were guided ; but though suspicion has been busy enough, it was not imagined that both the Chambers were so deeply involved as they now appear to be. I have endeavoured since I came here to show you how divided every class of the people are, and how few real friends the system which we are risking our own existence to uphold in reality has. I have also taken pains to prove that the va rious p arties are all totally unworthy of our assistance. The British nation will now .see how Quixotic its interference has been. We are made the dupes of a party, who call themselves the Government. We are securing them in place and in corruption. Without the presence of our troops they could not hold their power for a week, it is even possible, as things are, they cannot maintain it. The Anti- Constitutionalists, let me be always understood, are equally beneath our notice. Perfidious to their country as both sides are, uninspired by patriotism or public virtue, why should they not be suffered to terminate their unworthy quarrels by their own unworthy hands? Why should British blood be spilt and British treasure wasted to protect either ? The discovery of these papers will now account to you for the failure of the plot which, as I mentioned a fortnight since, was in progress for a general rising in Lisbon. Fortunate, indeed, it is for gn g lish property, and the safety of our troops, that the plans were crushed so early ; for the combination of religious and poli tical animosity, strengthened by the irritation caused by our in terference, would have placed us in no merciful hands, had they the power to strike. For the present we are safe, as I believe both parties do not wish to push the other to extremities. As well as Chaves, who is still unattainted, I promise you not one of those persons, either lay or apostolic, now discovered in trea sonable correspondence, will be brought to trial, or perhaps offis cially exposed. Were it not that the English papers have their agents here, matters would have been so managed that not a word of the truth would have been known for a year or two. You will judge of the perfidy of our best and most ancient ally, by the fact that the Nobleman who fitted up his palace for certain of the British Authorities with a hospitality which I see has al ready been praised so much in London, and no doubt taken as an instance of the gratitude of the nation, is at the head of that im portant document. What our army are now to do, remains to be decided by those who were in so much haste to send them hither. If a military possession of Portugal, to counterbalance the power of France and Spain be our object, they are not sufficient in number for that purpose; if their are to be marched against one portion of the people, what are all our fine promises of non-interference to be referred to? The head-quarters of General Clinton were, yester day, at Coimbra, and we have to-day a rumour that his first pro clamation, declaring that unless the persons armed ,against the Government do not immediately lay down their arms, he would march against them, is out. Truth travels here so slowly, that I cannot make out whether this proclamation he issued or not. I have inquired at an official source, but there is so much mystery preserved on this subject that I really am unable to resolve the fact. An Account has been this day published, by order of the House of Commons, of the Net Produce of the Re venue of the United Kingdom, in the years ending 3th January, 1825, 1826, and 1827, respectively, distinguish ing the quarters. The general result is as follows : Years ending sth January, 1427. 1925, 1926, Ordinary Revenue £51,956,800 £51;769,992 X 19,625,550 lents, &e 2, 27 9 ,392 428,628 641,185 Reparnl _ . Total Net Revenue... £54,236,192 £52,198,620 £50,2 3,2E5 A conversation upon, rather than a discussion of, the proposed Resolutions relative to the importation of foreign grain, took place last night in the House of Peers. It arose with Earl STANHOPE, who, in presenting a petition against any alteration in the present Corn Laws, expressed a very decided opinion against the proposed measure, and repeated a declaration which we remember his Lordship made some months back, that if it were carried, many very intelligent agriculturists, among whom we presume the Noble EARL himself is included, had declared they would leave the country and retire to the Continent. On this point we shall merely remark that fortunately his Lordship cannot carry his land with him, and that the nation must endeavour to bear the loss of his presence with Christian fortitude. The Earl of MALMESBURY wished for further information relative to the price at which Corn could be imported, and Earl BATHCRST did not oppose any inquiry being made, provided it were confined simply to that point ; on which, how ever, his MAJESTY'S Ministers required no further infor mation. On the whole, if we may judge from what passed last night, it appears to us that the intended immure will not meet with so decided an opposition in the House of Lords as has been expected; and we confidently hope that it will be carried with such small modifications as may be found necessary in the discussion of the coestion in detail, There is one observation which we would make both to the advocates of higher and lower protecting duties than those suggested in the proposed Resolutions. We think much error in the discussion of this question out of doors has arisen from taking the price of 60s. as the assumed point at which importation will be carried on. The duties are no more graduated from that point than they are from a higher or lower one. It is an ascending scale of duties, from Is. to 305., according as the price of Wheat declines ; and the line drawn at 60s. is wholly imaginary. This point has been styled the Zero of the Corn Scale, but, in fact, it re- sembles more the Freezing point of the scale graduated from Zero, at which there seems no reason to suppose the price of corn, unstable in its nature as the temperature of the air, will steadily fix, although it may constantly ap proximate to it. The information already possessed shows that corn may be frequently imported at prices which may bear the duty fixed for the price of 565. while in other seasons it may only bear the duty regulated for 655. A further file of Sydney Papers, New South Wales, to the Bth October, 1826, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. The following is an abstract of their contents : Continued complaints of the want of a sufficient police esta blishment in the Colony, and particularly at Sydney, for the pro tection of the Settlers from robbery and depredation of every kind, sometimes not unattended with violence and murder, of which ample testimony is afforded by the perusal of these papers. A horse-patrol was intended to he stationed on..the Liverpool road, and in and about Irish Town, to prevent depredations now daily occurring. Bush Rangers still continue to infest the settlement, notwithstanding the efforts which were continued to be made for their suppression, one of the papers observes"that many of the inhabitants of the bush were fortifying themselves against the apprehended attack of bush-rangers: Dollars and dollar-notes are quite plentiful, while British silver fails to obtain common cir culation. It was apprehended that many stores of hidden and hoarded dollars would be yet brought into use, and would act in col lision with a sterling circulation, and were in greater plenty than three months ago. The tribes of Aboriginal natives in and about the district of Newcastle, were estimated at nearly I,ooo:strong. Jt would seem that they had conducted themselves in a way which had induced the settlers in that part to give them a sound drub bing to tame their spirits, and they are now pretty quiet. Jamaica Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 17th January. His Majesty's ship Isis, of 50 guns, Captain Patton, having on board his Grace the Duke of Manchester, and Captain Macdonald, his Military Secre ta►y, sailed on Saturday, the 13th ult. for St. Jago de Cuba. On the Isis getting under weigh she was saluted by Fort Charles. These Papers complain that the Governor had quitted the island on a cruise, without installing the President, or without making any provision for the performance of those duties which cannot be done but by the head of the Executive. They add that the manner in which his Grace quitted the Government, for his amusement, 'was rather too unceremonious. The public was much annoyed at the circumstance. Sir John Keane used to act so frequently ivhen Governor of St. Lucia. The 50th regiment had embarked for England ; they carry with them the esteem and regard of the inhabitants of Jamaica. According to a letter received at Jamaica from Hayti, dated Jar. 12, the Commerce of that country was all but annihilated, and public confidence entirely destroyed. The Government was 'unposed to be aware of its danger, and would, if it were pos sible, be glad to back out of its engagements with France. In fact, there was no chance for extricating the country from abso lute slavery but by breaking entirely their connection with France. Madras Gazettes to the 15th October have been received, but they contain no news cf importance. None of the expected ships from England had made their appearance, viz.:—the Cambridge, Lady Kennaway, James Sibhald, Rockingham, and Atlas : the weather, however (though far advanced), continues favourable for their making the port. From the New York Papers of the 3d of February, under the head of Rumours.—There was a rumour in Town yesterday that Go vernment had ordered the Naval force on the Philadelphia and New York stations, to be fitted out. We cannot trace the rumour or account for the order, if made. A force may be necessary near the Brazils, or for observation in the neighbourhood of Cuba, but we see no prospect of a war with any EUropean Powers. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL. It is with great satisfaction that we are enabled to state, that the account generally is very favourable. His Lord. ship being now able to sit up occasionally. After the consultation of his Lordship's Medical At• tendants, the following flattering Bulletin was issued : " Fife House, March 3, One o'Clock.

On Sunday, arrived his Majesty's ships Windsor Castle, 74, and Ocean, SO, after a tedious passage of 31 days from Lisbon ; having left the Tagus on the 26th of last month. Marshal Lord Beresford and suite came home in the Ocean, which ship, with the Windsor Castle, was unaccountably placed under qua rantine—they were, however, released on Monday. The whole of the packets and other . ships communicating at Lisbon, (where the Windsor Castle had pratique) with any vessel from Gibraltar, might with equal reason be subjected to the restraint of quaran tine. The Harrier, 18, Capt. Wm. Morier, came in on Sunday, from the entrance of the channel, where she has been cruising with supplies for any vessels detained by the strong easterly winds. The Bittern, tender, Lieut. R. Rochfort, came in on Tuesday from the entrance of the Channel. She has experienced con tinued heavy gales, and had met with but two vessels (French men) in want of assistance. From one, the Superbe, a chasse maree, or coaster; they took out her crew of nine men, the vessel being in a sinking state ; L'Etoile, a schooner, she afforded sup plies to, and she proceeded on to Le Marque, with a cargo of wine. The Bittern left Scilly on Monday, where the Royalist, tender to the Britannia, was then lying for shelter; and on her way up the coast, paSsett the Grenville Packet, seventy-four days from Rio de Janeiro, having on board Mr. Chamberlayne, the Consul General, and family, passengers from that place. The Cerberus, 46-gun frigate, will be launched in a few days from t4is Dock-yard.—Plymouth Journal.

BRIGHTON, MARCH 2.—His MAJESTY continues to enjoy excellent health. On Wednesday the Duke of Dorset arrived at the Pavilion, on a visit to his MAJESTY. Yesterday afternoon Lord Paget arrived at the Pavilion, on a visit to his MAJESTY. On Tuesday last Prince and Princess Polignac en tertained at dinner the following distinguished personages : Prince and Princess Ester hazy, Mr. and Madame Feick, the Duke and Duchess of Leinster, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Rancliffe, Mr. Plants, Viscount Chabot, &c. At eleven o'clock the whole of the company repaired to Chanda-house. Mr. Huskisson was a little better yesterday, owing to the good effects of a large blister which was applied to his chest on Thursday. The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury entertained an elegant circle of the Haut Ton, on Thursday evening, at her house, in Arlington-streeet. The Countess of Charleville entertained a distin guished party of fashionables, yesterday evening, at her house, in Cavendish-square. It was stated a few days since that in order to accommodate the King's Counsel, who might have occasion to attend the Appeals in the House of Lords, the Vice-Chancellor had come to the determination of sitting in Westminster Hall, whenever the Lord Chancellor should be engaged in bearing Appeals. This arrangement was by no means satisfactory to the junior Counsel. They deemed it unreasonable that they should be put to an inconvenience for the purpose of obliging three or four King's Counsel, and we understand that a rem onstrance to that effect was made to the Vice-Chancellor, the r esult of which has been, that he gave up his intention of removing to Westmin ster Hall. At all events, his Honour sat yesterday at Lincoln's- Inn, although the Lord Chancellor was hearing Appeals at the House of Lords. The deep interest felt in the statement of Mr. Can ning on Thursday night was evinced by the crowded state of the House. When the gallery was opened to the public, a little before 5 o'clock, every seat had been taken, and the Member's name pasted on the back, by way of notice of possession, to warn off others. Mr. Canning entered the House at a quarter past six. His ap pearance created a sudden pause of silence; the noise prevailing in the House up to that period being so great, as to render the pro ceedings unintelligible in the gallery. The Right Hon. Gentle man showed the traces of past illness ; although his health seemed fully re -established. When he rose, at half-past six, there was not a place unoccupied in any part of the body of the House, or the side galleries.—Morning Paper. FINE ARTS.--A splendid engraving of Fradelle's last Painting, now exhibiting at the British Institution, is in course of preparation. Since his interesting picture of Mary Queen of Scots and Chatelar, the engraving from which has a place, we be lieve, in every Printseller's window in the kingdom, the Artist has progressively improved till he has reached the highest rank in his line cf art. The subiect of the present Picture is from the Crusaders—Lady Edith Plantagenet kneeling to Richard Cceur de Lion, to save the life of Sir Kenneth, the Knight of the Leopard. Yesterday morning, in the temporary absence of its mother, the clothes of a young boy, residing in Brown-street, caught fire, and before help reached him, he was severely burnt. He was immediately conveyed by a neighbour to the Royal Infir mary.... Caledonian Mercury. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. LOUSAI(NA V. TEMPLAR. Mr. SUDDEN wished to know whether the Court was prepared to give judgment in this case, in which he had moved for an in junction to stay a trial at law, and for a commission to examine witnesses in Peru. The object of having the Commission was to shew that the debt had been paid. His LORDSHIP said, the question was, whether upon the bill the plaintiff had filed, drawn as it had been, and looking at all the circumstances of the case, he had the absolute right he claimed ? and the Court had found great dif ficulty in coming to the conclusion, that he had. His Lord ship felt rather inclined to say, the admissions in the answer had destroyed the affidavit the plaintiff had made. The power of at torney stated in the bill, made Mr. Win. Templar, the joint agent of both the plaintiff and defendant, and therefore all considerations of justice, law, and equity, at least require that the plaintiff in equity should have an opportunity, before he parted with the mo ney absolutely, of shewing how much of the money that had been received by the agent, ought to be applied to the debt, and ought to be recovered, and which might be given by granting an Injunc tion to stay execution upon the verdict. Mr. HoRNE hoped that the Court, if it interfered at all, would not fail to secure the fund. If the other side paid to his client the money, he would give any security the Master might require for the return of it, should it turn out that he ought to return it. His LORDSHIP desired the trial, which stood for Monday, to be put off till Tuesday, and that on Monday he should decide it. IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS PARR, A BANKRUPT. HABEAS CORPUS. _ _ Upon this matter having been further argued to-day, His LORDSHIP decided that he could not discharge thebankrupt ; but he thought the Commissioners at Preston ought to call the bankrupt up before them again, read over to him the affidavits of Whitehead and Davenport, and then that they should ask him what further be had to say. A more unsatisfactory examination, the Court had never seen• COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL. COVEN V. STALLS. Mr. Pottocx stated, that this was an action brought to re cover from the defendant, the sum of 261. which (being the pro perty of the plaintiff) the defendant converted to his own use. The plaintiff was a foreigner residing in Portsea, and being unable to write himself, be procured a person, named Solomon, to write a letter for him, to the defendant, who resided in London, con taining 261. with directions to convert that sum to certain pur poses. On the arrival of the letter at the defendant's house, his son got it attached by an order from the Lord Mayor's Court, for a debt of 251., which Solomon, the writer of the letter, owed him. Mr. PoLLocx observed, that there were only two Courts in England, empowered to issue such attachments, namely one at Bristol, and the one in question ; whether they ought to be made general, or entirely annihilated, he would not pretend to say ; but he contended that the defendant had no right to attach the pro perty of the plaintiff, for a debt due of a third person. The facts, as here stated, having been proved by evidence, Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called several witnesses to shew that the money enclosed in the letter be longed to Solomon ; but the Jury were of a different opinion, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. mess v. HORT AND FINLAY. Mr. SERGEANT WILDE stated that the plaintiff in this case was a tallow-chandler, in Chelsea, and that the defendants were partners in a company called the London United Mine Company. This action was brought for the recovery of 1731. being the price of candles furnished by the plaintiff to the Company, in March, 1826, for a coal mine which they worked in Cornwall.— The Learned Sergeant understood the defence to be set up was, that the defendants had derived no profits from the concern, and therefore would not pay, but with this his client had nothing to do. Richard Hase, Secretary to the Company, was then called, and proved that the defendants had 20 shares each in the Company, and attended several meetings of the proprietors. Witness had also ordered the candles in question. Mr. Davis, clerk to the Company's bankers, proved that the defendants had paid the premium on their shares. Nicholas Burton, foreman to the plaintiff, proved that the goods had been packed up, and sent in terms of the order to Cot ton's Wharf, in Southwark, and the wharfinger's clerk proved that they had been received there, and shipped for Cornwall. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY addressed the Jury in behalf of the de fendant Finlay, and said that his client was a poor tailor, who had been induced to purchase shares in the Company under the be lief that he would realise great profits from it; but it now unfor tunately turned out, that instead of receiving profit he was called upon to pay the Company's debts. The Learned Sergeant, under standing that his Learned Brother (Cross) had a good defence for the defendant Hort, thought it unnecessary to say more, as both defendants must stand or fall together. The deed of co-partnership was then put in, and Finlay's name was subscribed to it, but Hort's was not. Mr. Sergeant CROS9, for the defendant Hort, contended, that as his client's name was not to the deed, he was not a partner in the Company, it being provided by a clause in the deed, that no part ner was entitled to the profits unless he subscribed the deed ; and if he was not entitled to the profits, the Learned Sergeant main tained that he could not be subjected to payment of the debts. The Cntrr JUSTICE in summing up said, that the plaintiff bad nothing to do with the private arrangements between the shareholders ; both of the defendants held themselves out as part ners, and were therefore liable. His LORDSHIP hoped that this case would furnish another sa lutary lesson to every body, not to enter into these ruinous specu lations.—The Jury found for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Simon Harris, a Jew clothesman, was charged with stealing four silver cups, four silver spoons, and a plated tea-pot, from the butler's pantry of Samuel Bowyer, Esq., No. 7, Russell -plac e , Fitzroy-square. A silver tea-pot, however, which had been standing with it, was left. Sir RICHARD RlR:fa considered that no Jew would havetaken a plated and left a silver tea-pot.—Discharged.

I have before had occasion to intimate, that it is the bounden duty of the owners of mines to take every possible care to prevent the occurrence of such misfortunes. If at any time the want of such precaution should be fixed upon any particular individual, h e w i ll be liable to be prosecuted for manslaughter. His LORDSHIP will dispose of all the criminal cases, before he takes any case at Nisi Prius.
