and suffer-from the piracies committed by thos who are driven to such _desperate courses by 'till deiolating . character of • Turkish hostilities.— Prudent people, who know that the consequent( of..a battle between two parties of low Irish ir, their .ueighbourhoodetill be' considerable injury to their property, generally endeavour to compe a peace with as little delay as possible. When belligerents carry on war according to the practic( of civilized nations, and neutrals do not. suffer from their operations, such neutrals are withou an colourable ground for interfering in all: other manner than by an offer of mediation.— But when belligerents can only make war in 4 way from which third parties must suffer/ the right of self-protection gives a right to inter fere to put an end to the war as a nuisance and the only question then is one as to the prii Bence of exercising the right. Turkey has, wa admit, ,been treated cavalierly, but this treatment was absolutely nettssary. In this first, step, that of the Treaty, Turkey was evidently considered in the .light of a Government, not entitled to th 4 treatment which one civilised State has a right to expect from another. The Turks are viewed as placed by their ignorance of the rules and usages of civilization, in a, state of pu4 commence,pillage, and the Allies not by treating with them on a footing. of .equality, but by pre-1 scribing a course for their adoption. They were allowed no option; for they were told without ceremony, if you do not arrange matters with the Greeks, we will compel you. The Antbassai dots of the Allies informed the Turkish Govern-4 latent, that instructions would be sent to the Ad. mirals of France, Ruszda, and England, " in the seas of the Levant, to prevent all collision between the contending parties." I-laving as-, sinned this language of superiority, and placed themselves towards the Turks in the relation of dictators, and not of adviSers, what has taken place followed almost as a matter of course. The Allies say we will P.bt allow you to fight any lonfier ; the Turks refuse to yield obedience to their dictation, and carry on the war in a more savage manner than ever. Finding their pre scriptions disregarded, and promises made to them violated, the Admirals were called upon to act oni their instructions, by adopting the means. Which were best calculated for preventing the collision of the bellig eren ts. They entered the' port of Navarin in order of battle, not with a hostile intent, but in the exercise of their dictatorship, , which required that the TurkiSh fleet should be under their power. The ob- jest entrusted to them was the compel ling the 'rinks to change their system ; and of th courses open to them, the one which they adqpted was the only one which could lead to such a result. They could not keep. the sea ; their perm a n en t p rese n c e in NaVarin, even the second course, could lead to no termination, since the Porte persisted in not changing its system,. and the object committed to them was to compel a change of system. ) The Globe observes—" Their entrance certainly would have needed no defence, if it had been to claim the ordi dary protection and aid which foreign ships lire entitled to in a friendly port--but the fact of subsisting' friendly in tercourse and pending negotiations does not make the fact of entering in order of battle, and for purposes of inti midation, the more justifiable ;—on the contrary, it ap pears to us to be the most difficult and unpleasant part of the case. " As both the Admirals concur in the opinion that the first provocation was received from the Turks, and after their entry into Nayarit), they also concur in their account of the manner and intent of that entry. " We stated yesterday that the Protocol of the Admi rals clearly showed the intention of their entry into Na varin to be this—to take up such a station as would put the Turkish fleet in their power, and enable them to cap ture or destroy it, if Ibrahim Paella resisted some propo sitions which they intended to make to him." We have 'already- obserVed, 'that the whole proceedings must stand or'- fall with the Treaty. If the Treaty was justifiable, then the inevitable results of it were also justifiable. The Treaty assumes the necessity of intimidation ; and though the Turks are friends, yet we choose to treat them as friends who require to be cud gelled into propriety of behaviour. There is, at all events, consistency in the proceedings. Our contemporary, after examining the reasons put forth-by the English and French Commandei,s, proceeds to observe— "ls this the way of entering a friendly port, which en titles us to wonder that the ships which attempted it were fired on ? If, we suppose for a moment that the same scene was acted before and in the harbour of Portsmouth— that the Admirals of the fleets of three foreign nations, who Fad addressed demands to the Court of St. James's, held a consultation at Spithead, and after having rejected the idea of merely securing the inaction of our fleet as not effectual enough, and having. decided that they would take up a•po eitiou in the harbour, in order to renew Prepositions to oar Government,' and Made signals 'to prepare for action, entered the port in line of battle, and anchored against our own fleet, each ship having, as Adniirai Codrington ex presses it, ' their proper opponent'--ye suspect they would be taught a lesson on the manner of entering a friendly harbour, and receive a little more'decided provocation than the allies received at Navarin. There does not seem to us a shadow of doubt, that such a proceeding is an act of hostility which a Government may tolerate, but which officers left without orders from their Government are bound to repel." We have only to 'observe, that if the Turkish Government was duly informed of the conse quences which follow a. refusal to obey the in junctions of the Allies, it was enabled to give instructions to its officers, to guide them in an exigency like the one in question. If these of ficers were left without orders from their Go vernment, ihai. was the fault of the Government, which was Warned that instructions had been sent. to the Admirals of the Allies to prevent colli siOit. It . was 'for the Turks to consider whether they would regard the Menace, whether they *Mild 'tonaider such an interference . ,as an act Ofilestility, and whether they could not in.ho nour istne 'instiuctions to their officers to yield obediepce to the Allies; but whatever may be;their justification for reftieiUg to acknowledge the right ofthe Allies to prescribe to theM,LaVing kept their officers without • instructions, the responsibi lity of such a course must rest with'theirtielves. If the Allies acted without justification in bind ing themselves as they did, of course the con duct of the officers remain's without justification ; but, if the Treaty was justifiable, and the in structions were justifiable, the conduct of the Admirals, as being a necessary result of such Treaty and such instructions, was also justifiable. International Law is, at best, a very odd sort of lavc. Even in the case of 'civilized nations, we all know what fine arguMents pro aid, con have been raised to the right which vicinage gives to interfere with the internal affairs of a state when danger is anticiyated from them to a neighbour. It is exceedingly difficult to lay down a rule equally applicable in all cases. But, in'.the case of a people like the Turks, who re gard.oeither your usages nor your laws, we must be guided, in (Mr conduct, with regard to them, by a consideration Of what, under all circum static", tipsy be the least objectionable Course.

A treaty as that .bet Wee- the' three Allied Powers,, would never have been dreamt of ill the case of a civilized nation.—Morizing Chron, -- If the accounts which have appeared in the several papers, relating to the respective forces of the combined squadrons and the squadrons of Turkey and Egypt be correct—that is, leaving out.of the question the corvettes, which are ves sels that could. not be effective against either fri gates or ships of the line—it would , appear that, in comparison with such battles as those of the Ist of June, Cainperdown, St. Vincent, the Nile ; or Trafalgar,: the. late one has been nothing, so far as it respects our superiority over—not our enemy, but our Allies. It 'appears that the English, French, and Russians, had ten sail of the-line, hut the TurkS had' only three; to which if we .add the four which are .called double frigates, and call them ships of the line, the Turks had seven sail of the line to our ten sail of the line. Now, with respect to frigates; the combined squadron had ten frigates, and the Turks had nineteen. Here the Turks had two to one of frigates, but then we had ten to seven of ships of the line. NI e will recapitulate; and include both ships of the line and frigates. • THE COMBINED SQUADRONS. Ships of the Line 10 Frigates 10--20 THE TURKISH SQUADRON. Ships of the Line 7 Frigates. 19 26 The difference, so far, therefore, as the above species of force was concerned, is only six ships in favour of the Turks. As for corvettes, it is pretty well known that the broadside of a ship of the line, or of a large frigate, will send a corvette down at once. NOw, after looking at'this, what would Howe, Duncan, Jervis, or Nelson, have said to: the long rigmaroles which, on this occa sion, have appeared in some of the Ministerial Papers ? Would they not have said that either we.had declined in our naval skill, in comparison with the Turks, or that the latter had made very rapid strides in comparison with us.--Morning Herald. Sortie of our contemporaries seem to be puzzling themselves very much with a very plain question, namely, what . rightthe combined sgiia- Irons had to enter Na — varin, and attack the Turkish and Egyptian fleet ? The Times, which. obeys •to the letter the advice of an old philosopher—to live with its friends as if they were one day to be its enemies—and which never .defends a cause but in such a way as to injure it—spends a great many worth to little purpose, in attempting to show that the general action was the result of accident. An Evening contemporary, with more reason, observes, that the advancing into the harbour of Nayarit], and preparing to take up a position there, was really and truly the commencement of the action. We ,agree with him, that virtually it was, and it was just that the commencement of an action, which was strictly retaliatory, should be on the side of the party injured. It is quite true, that had no gull, been fired by the Turks, no gun would have been fired by the Eng lish ; but the latter would not the less have taken possession of the fleet of the former—not as prizes, but as a pledge for the observance of a convention, regularly and voluntarily entered into by Ibrahim and the allied forces. A very mis taken notion of that convention seems to be entertained by our contemporaries. They imagine that it covenanted for the inaction of the ships of the Grand Seignior only. This was not the case. The Treaty of the 6th of July is per fectly explicit, awl so were the representations of the Ambassadors at Constantinople. The Allies declared their intention to put an end to the war between the two parties—the Turks and the Greeks—by mediation, if both parties agreed to accept of such means; but if either of the belligerents refused, then upon the Allies devolved the task of compelling the ar rangement,. which could not be otherwise accomplished. The Ambassadors stated dis tinctly to the Porte that unless before a certain day its agreement to the proposals of the Allies were signified, it. would place itself in the predicament contemplated by the Treaty—that is, the Allies would proceed compulsorily to settle the dispute of the Sultan with Greece. From the poor Greeks the assignment of a day was not required, for they put themselves and their fortunes at once into the hands of their generous and noble friends. The day appointed for the answer of the Sultan passed, and what was his reply ? That he would not negotiate at all on the subject. The Allies had then one of two things to do ; to allow the obstinacy of the Turkish Government to overcome their declared purpose, and to hold themselves up as a laugh ing-stock to the world, or to pursue; as they had pledged themselves, the plan which they had at first laid down. Now, we ask, did that plan in clude nothing else than a naval armistice, to be kept most reluctantly and most unfaithfully by the stronger party ? We allow that the inse curity of the Levant from the fleets of the con tending parties, was one of the reasons of the Allies' interference, but it was not the only one. Thegrandobjeetwasthe pacification of the East. Why did Admiral Codrington declare to Ibrahim that he would not allow him to sail for Hydra ? Was it for any damage his vessels would do to the island ? Was it not to prevent the slaughter and rapine to be perpetrated by his troops ? Did not the convention guarantee from attack the Greeks in the environs of Navarin as completely as the Greeks of Hydra ? Do our contempo raries understand that the Turks were free, under its conditions, to murder and destroy as many miserable Moreotes as they might see fit, pro vided they held sacred the persons and the pro perty of the Hydriotes ? Or that they might indulge in any species and degree of atrocity to which their cruelty inclined them, so long as they did not turn the guns of their vessels upon the town and fort which they themselves held? Whether Navarin was to he considered as a Turkish or Greek port seems a mighty silly question. The rule of uti possidetis must be observed in every preliminary Treaty. The port was in the Turkish possession, and, there fore, for the purposes of treaty, Turkish ; but this, does not affect the question of Ad miral Codrington's justification. Ibrahim had broken the Armistice by his attacks' on the and fended Greeks on shore. The destruc tion of his fleet, and of his army also, was' no longer a question of right, but of expediency. If the object - of the 'Allies could have been secured by a threat, a threat only would have been used; but .the Turks despised threats as they had de spised conventions, and their chastisement was thus no longer a matter olchoice. It is' evident that the attack was anticipated .by Ibrahim. He knew he had provoked it. His vessels were drawn up in battle array, and his; Centre and his flairkS were defended with' 'much skill: not in the . 'positiOn of a ma n wh o relies 'on ihe faith o f tr ee s, but ow who. 10.4 • broksillt? and who looks for the penalty of the infraction. As to the alarm lest-Austria should be offendeci, because in the mele'e some of her transporti-suf} fered, it deserves no thought. If the Allies'haa no right to oppose Turkey, how came Austria to have a right to assist it ? Was the gift of free agency limited only to the enemies of Cliris tianity ? • But, we ought to have declared war with Turkey! We are not at war with Turkey r W e have said to Turkey—" You must make peace with Greece ; humanity is -not to - be any longer outraged by your quarrels." When we said this, we added our determination•to act up to our declaration. If, in consequence of our doing so, Turkey see fit to go to war with uS, we must meet her. If not, all we intend is . , merely to keep her from Attacking Greece, while we equally keep Greece from attacking her. This is not war, and therefore needs no declara tion.—New • LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. IS. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE MAYOR OF EXETER This matter, in which the judgment of the Court was delivered a few days since, came on for argu ment relative to the necessity for inquiry before the Master, as to the application of certain fines by the Trustees of the Charity The discussion was ex tended to a considerable length, Sir C.' Wetherell, Mr. Sugden, and Mr. MeriVall were heard against the inquiry ; and Mr. Agar and Mr. Girdlestone, jun.: in support of it. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it highly fit that an investigation should be instituted, with a view of ascertaining whether any slims now remained in the hands of the Trustees ; and he should, therefore, direct the inquiry accordingly. The costs should be reserved until these proceedings had terminated. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nor. 13. GILMAN' V. JONES, PARRY, ANIS OTHERS.. In this cause the plaintiff, Mrs. Grimani, the wife of Francis Grimani, prayed that a certain sum of money, the produce of dividends to which she was entitled under the will of her grandfather, and now_ standing in the name of the Accountant-General, should be paid over to her for her separate use and maintenance. The plaintiff being entitled in her own right to the one-sixth part of the dividends of' certain sums settled by will upon herfamily, and held by the.de fendants as her trustees, on her marriage with Mr. Grimani this sum was Secured to her use: shortly after the marriage, however, sbe eloped with a Mr. Jghn Lancaster Lane. Her father, one of the de fendants, discovering the place of her - residence, after an interval of about six months, brought her back to his own house; but she eloped a second time with Mr. Lane, when an opportunity offered. The father again prevailed upon her to return to his house, but she eloped a third time, and now conti nued to live in adultery with him. In order to de prive Lane of the advantages resulting from his se duction of the plaintiff, and in the hope of reclaim ing her, the father and the trustees, with the con sent of the husband, withheld the payment of her dividends, and the plaintiff now prayed the Court to order them to be paid over with 811 arrears. Mr. SUGDEN consented, upon the part of the trustees, to pay the money, subject to such expenses as may have been incurred upon account of the After a short conversation, in which it was al lowed that the costs of the trustees should be paid out of the funds, the decree was taken by consent. COURT OF 'KING'S BENCH, Nov. 13. (Sittings in Banco.) XNIGIIT V. WARTMN. Mr. POLLOCK moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict given for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, or the amount of the damages reduced. The action (trove') bad been tried at the Lancas ter Assizes, arid had been brought by the assignees of a bankrupt, who had delivered over to the defend ant's hauliers in Liverpool a great quantity of o il, and other articles is which he dealt, some days prior to his committing an act - of bankruptcy. In the be ginning of February, 1826, during the prevalence of the late panic, the bankrupt began to experience great difficulties in carrying on his concerns, and on the lth of that month applied to the defendants for an advance of cash on bills of exchange, to the amount of about 1,0001. At that time the bankrupt was indebted to the hankers about 3,3004, and they refused to make the required advances without se :-.urity. For this purpose, the bankrupt delivered to them the goods in question, and the security being perfected on the 6th February, the 1,000/. was ad vanced to the bankrupt. On the 16th February the act of bankruptcy was committed, and on the 18th the commission issued; and afterwards the assignees brought the action to recover back from the bankers the goods converted by them; or their value, upon the ground that they were delivered to the defend ants, in order to give them an undue preference against the rest of the creditors. The Learned Judge who tried the cause put it to the Jury whether the bankrupt, at the time he delivered the goods to the defendants, knew the state of his affairs, and - that it was probable he would soon be compelled to stop • payment ? and the Jury found that he did, and therefore gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of the whole goods. Mr. POLLOCK now contended, that whatever might he the case with respect to the previous debt, the defendants were entitled to retain the amount of their recent advances, made on the condition that they should have security, for there was no evi dence that they had any reason to doubt the bank-, rupt's solvency on the 6th of February, nor was there sufficient evidence to show that the bankrupt himself knew that he must soon stop payment. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—Supposing the goods to have been delivered to the baokers by the bankrupt with a view to give them an undue preference, that would have been itself an act of bankruptcy on the 6th, although the defendants might be entirely I innocent. • A rule was ultimately granted t(ishew cause why the arbiter to whom it , been referred, to assess the amount of damages, should not be directed to al low the . secur►ty to stand for the amount of the re cent advances, 31Or r. WYO. ME. POLLOCK mentioned this case, which had been before detailed by Mr. Brougham. It was an action tried at Lancaster, on a policy of i nsur ance upon a ship, called the Wespray, from Gibraltar to North America, and back again to any Port of dis charge in Great Britain. The ship had been an chored in the winter time, at a place called the Ledge, in the Bay of Passamaquoddy, and had struck there, on a rock, and suffered considerable damage, which made the master and crew abandon her. The ship had been saved by the master , of another vessel, and had been repaired by means of money taken on bottomy, and was in the harbour of Liverpool at the time the action was brought. — The verdict was for the plaintiff as for a total loss. The new trial was moved on evidence discovered, after the verdict, that the Ledge was not in the port of St. Andrews, or Bay of Fundy, to whith the Polity was limited ; and that, therefore, there was a deviation. Lord TENTERDEN—We have considered this case, and it appears that there was considerable negligence on the part of the defendant, in prepa ring his evidence for the first trial, we therefore, Can not send the case again to a Jury.—Rule refused. DOE AND PLUNKETT v. LORD G. CAVEINIDISH. This was an ejectment tried at the Lancaster AO' sizes, for the recovery of certain estates in that county, now in the occupation or possession of the defendant. The lessor of the plaintiff claim ed the estates as heir at law of Sir William Lowther, who died about sixty years ag o , having made is will, by )ylija, alter creating ti term Q 1 20V years . for,the payment of certain annuities, he limited an estate for life in-the premises to one of the Ca vendishes for life, to another of them for life, and tip a third a remainder in tail. The first who hid ate estate for life and the remainder -man in tail joined in suffering a recovery, which turned' the remainder into a fee.' The lessor of the plaintiff proved that she was the heir at law of Sir William Lowther, but the recovery was set up in bar of her claims.— Verdict for the defendant. Mr: PollocK stated; that taking a great - portion of these estates to be copyhold, as they would pro bably turn out to be, then the recovery, to be worth any thing, must, as to these lands, have been suffered in the Lord's Court, if any recovery at all could be suffered of copyhold lands. The general impression among the profession certainly was, that copyhold estates were not within the Statute de donis. On these two grounds he maved for a new trial. - Lord TENTERDEN—Take a rule to show cause why judgment and execution shPuld not be entered for the plaintiff as far as respects thise customary lands. That is the utmost we can do for you.-, Rule granted accordingly. sorrow V. TOONER AND oruaas• Mr. POLLOCK moved fora rule to show cause, why the verdict in this case, which-was for the plaintiff for 2501., should not be set aside . and a non suit entered, or why a new trial should not b 6 had ? —Rule refused. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not b filed. against Nathaniel and Henry Merridew, father. and son, trading in partnership as printers, in the city of Coventry. This .application was. made by desire of the Magistrates of the county of Warwick, and he should therefore confine himself to that part of the libel which reflected on them. In pursuance of an Act of ,Parliament passed some years ago, td make provision for the accommodation of the Judges at Warwick, a sum of about 12,0001. had been ex pended, and the Magistrates to whose administration this affair had been confided, had erected a house suitable to the purpose, and placed a person of the name of Holmes, to whom, under the authority of the Act of Parliament, - they bad given an adequate salary, to keep and preserve it for the use of the Judges. The Magistrates who attended the Ses sions at Warwick had also been in the habit, since this house had been built, of receiving accommoda tion there from Holmes, but they had always paid for it as at a public tavern, whether it was lodging or refreshment, breakfast, dinner, or supper. The amount of the libel was, that these . Magistrates had spent . 12,000/. of the public money for their own ac- . commodation, to provide themselves board and lodg ing, under pretence of accommodating the Judges.=— Rule to shew cause granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HOUSE. —A butcher in Whitechapel mar ket appeared at the Mansion-House yesterday, to make a complaint against the keeper of the City Green-yard, for refusing to give him up six bullocks, which had been im pounded there. One of the City officers, about four o'clock yesterday morning, was on duty in Lombard-street, and met there six bullocks coming along ; thinking it an unusual circum stance, as it was not market morning, he was induced to watch them, when he could not find any person who had charge of them ; he followed them, and stopped every person whom he met, but no one would know anything about them ; thinking it extraordinary, he was determined to take care of them as well as lie could, so drove them with much difficulty to the City Green-yard, in Whitecross-street, a distance of nearly a mile; and succeeded in getting them there, and deposited them until they should he owned. After some inquiry, it was discovered that the slaughter house of the applicant, in Whitechapel, had been broken into during the night, and these bullocks stolen ; and it was supposed that the thieves, seeing the officer noticing the bullocks, decamped, determined rather to surrender their booty, than to run the risk of being taken and hanged. The butcher went to the City Green-yard, to, claim his bullocks, and there is a custom there of certain fees being paid on every head of stray cattle brought in there ; and upon every bullock that fee is four shillings, therefore the sum of twenty-four shillings was demanded, before the keeper of the Green-yard would give up these six bullocks. This sum the butcher refused to pay, declaring it a gross imposition, and DOW came to ask his Lordship to com pel the keeper of the Green-yard to give up the bullocks without his paying anything for them. Mr. Hobler (for the Loan MAYOR had not arrived) ' ailed' the butcher whether he did not consider it to be most inconsiderate to expect that his bullocks, when found astray, were to be driven to a place of safety, and kept for him, without payment? The butcher still stood out that it was a hard case, and he had been put to trouble enough without having to pay ; ' besides— Mr. Hobler—l can only tell you these fees are settled and fixed by the Corporation, and the Lord Mayor has no power to interfere in the matter ; however, you had better wait and ask his opinion. The butcher now draw in his horns a little, and said, if that was the case, it was useless for him to wait, therefore he had better go au* pay the money at once. Mr. Hobler—Oh ! do as you like ; but as I said before, I think you ought to give some beef to the officer that took care of the bullocks. The butcher—And perhaps you'd like to have a round of von of 'cue yourself. Mr. Hobler—Not I, indeed, for my family is too small for a round of beef, and I am sure I would ,never have one of you at any . price. The butcher then departed ,to get his six bullocks, and pay the money far them, at the same time repeating that it was a very bard, case upon him. HATTON-GARDEN.--Mr. Simpson, one of the trus tees 'of the parish of Islington, attended at this office yes terday, to answer the charge of Cursitor, the Paddington coachman, for refusing to pay out. shilling and sixpence, his fate. - Mr. Simpson stated he was in the habit of going from the City almost every evening in one of the Paddington stages, and he never paid more than one shilling for the fare, until Saturday last, when Cursitor demanded one shilling and sixpence, which he considered exorbitant, and accordingly he refused to pay the additional sixpence. He considered the charge too insignificant to attend to, which was the reason he did not appear on Monday. Mr. LAING said he was bound by his recognizances to appear, and no matter how insignificant the charge was, Mr. Simpson should have attended. If Mr. Simpson had not attended. that day, he should certainly have returned the recognizance into the Exchequer to be estreated. Mr. Simpson said that the coachman had no right to give him in charge, and the watch-house-keeper ought not to have taken the -charge- Mr. LAING said he should not then enter into the merits of the case, as the coachman was absent ; but as Mr. Sirnp son had attended, the recogniiance should be discharged. It was cut out of the book , for the purpose of returning it to the Exchequer, and he repeated it would have been done so, if Mr. Simpson had not attended. Mr. Simpson thought it bard to have to answer such a charge. , . . , Mr, LAING said be bad nothing to do with the charge then in the itieiice of, the other party, and discharged the recegnixauFe! lqr. Simplon then left the office. William Davies, of 'C ow - cro s s - s treet, coffee-shop keeper, was charged with the wilful murder of William Clarke, a Smithfield drover. , The,prisoner had been in custody since the 3d instant, and had undergone two exa minations previousto the.death of Clarice, which happened on Friday night at 12 o'clock. Mr. Sergeant SELLON remanded the prisoner for re-exa minatipn until Thursday next, tc, have the house-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's examined. The witnesses in attendance were then bound over to prosecute at the next Old Bailey Sessions, and the prisoner was sent to Clerkenwell prison until Thursday next. LAMBETH-STREET.—Mrs. Tofield, who was no ticed in the papers yesterday as having made an application at the Mary-le-boise Office respecting a bag of sovereigns found by her daughter and a Bliss Crag, and w en r. Rawlinson recommended to apply at Bow-street, a reted a written statement•to the Magistratea on the same business, as she told them, by desire of Mr. Minshull. The statement (which was read) was to the like im p o rt with what has already appeared —A samely , that on Tues day, Oct. 2,. her daughter , Mildred Tofield, in company with a partrof six, w ent to Drury-lane Theatre, and was walking home, arrn.in-arns, with Mist Crag (the rest of the . platy being 'ahead of anal) through R us4ll-couri; vf4en Miss Tofield tripped against something that made a jip ling none;whieh they thotight' was i ron , but wluch.en'feelin(g tlierfouditte be a bag full o f sovereigns and nalLacreetagus.

The Magistrates said they perfectly uoderstood what het .motive in advertising was—viz. to get share of the spoil as they did not, however,- see any objection to that, pro vided the property was not owned, she might have a summons. WORSHIP-STREET.—A poor girl, named Elinor Harrington, in the most piteous distress, complained that a basket of fruit which she was tending on Sunday, in the City-Road, for her mother, who was confined by sickness, was seized and'confiscated by a ruthless street-keeper. Some of the parish officers were in attendance, and they vindicated the conduct of the constable by enlarging upon the nuisance created by stall-keepers, and asserting the authority given them by Act of Parliament to remove ob structions. Mr. BENETT examined the Act handed to him by the parish oflicers,•and expressed great pleasure at being unable to find any clause conferring a power to seize. He sub. sequently, however, discovered, to his mortification, that he had been looking• into the wrong Act, and that Mr; Taylor's Act gave the arbitrary power, as. he considered itt so often exercised. Under these circumstances, he Pecom 7 mended that the things should be restored to the young woman, whom he enjoined to be cautious not to offend iu a similar` manner in future. He also advised the street keeper, as a general practice, to give notice befOre he seized. MARYLEBONE.—An insane Italian, named Joseph Rho, was brought from Marylebone watch-house, charged with being " a person unfit to be at large." It was stated by his friend, the keeper of Newton's coffee-house in St. Martin's-street, that he had a slight knowledge of Signor Rho, and that he (the Signor) came to his house a few days since, evidently a little disordered in his mind, and requested permission to remain there a short time, and as it was then late in the evening he was permitted to retire to bed, fearful that something unpleasant would happen to him if his wishes were refused. At his own particular de sire he was also suffered to remain in the house for two or three days, but on Monday night he suddenly started up and said he must leave the house immediately, or otherwise he should be assassinated. His friend being apprehensive that some misfortune would befal him, followed him, and heard him desire a watchman, near Leicester-square, to take him into custody in the King's name. They went to the watch-house together very quietly, hut on his following to apprise them of the condition of the unhappy man, and to desire them to be careful of him, they were both pushed into the street together, and as he could not prevail upon Rho to return home with him, he, rather than leave him in that sad • condition, wandered about the streets nearly the whole night with him, till at length a Marylebone watchman took charge of him, and locked him up in the watch-house. Mr. Gairratts.—How does he get his living?—He is a gentleman, with a small property, sufficient to sup port him. Mr. GRIFFITHS.—Is his property in England ?—No, he receives his reMittances from his brother, at Turin. Signor Rho, who was wrapped up in a large box great coat, the collar of which be held firmly about the lower part of his face, said, on being spoken to by the Magi strate, in an agitated tone, that if suffered to go alone he was sure to be murdered. • Shortly afterwards the medical gentleman of the parish came in, and Rho, on being told that he would pay every attention to his wants, left the room, apparently highly gratified ; but in a minute after he rushed into the room again and, running towards the Magistrate, said, " I look to you for protection ; I don't like that man (the surgeon) ;. he looked at me in a way I don't like. Send me ,to" a prison ; hut, in the name of God, don't put me into his hands." _ _ Mr. GRIFFITHS assured him that he was a gentleman who would treat him with every kindness. At that instant Wall, one of the officers civilly requested him to retire, npon which Rho started from him with the greatest horror, and rushing to the Magistrate, said, " that man's got a knife about him to murder me if I leave this room ;" nor could he be prevailed upon again to, retire. It then be came necessary to send for assistance from the workhouse, and on some of the men entering the room, he immediately exclaimed in an agony of distress, " violence, violence !" He, however, was persuaded after a time, to leave with Mr. Hewitt, the chief constable, and another offiver, and proceeded quietly to the workhouse, except that on the way he once made a desperate effort to escape, and collected a crowd about him by crying murder. THAMES POLlCE.—Yesterday John Cordand, the driver of a Blacktvall stage; appeared before the Sitting Magistrate, W. BALLANTYNE, Esq. to answer a complaint and information preferred against him by a person named Sparks, for taking on- his coach more persons that, he was legally authorised to do by his license. The information being read:over to the defendant, Mr. Humphries, whe appeared as, his solicitor, contended that the information could not be proceeded in, in conse quence of certain technical informalities which it contained. Mr. BALLANTYKE, having looked into the Act of Par liament under which the information was frarried, referred Mr. Humphries to the 24th section as an answer to all his objections, the 24th section enacting that all objections of forms as to the drawing up of the information should be of no avail in quashing the information. Mr. Humphries admitted that the enactment was to that effect; hut contended that some of his objections were not as regarded mere matters of form, but matters of fact. It was necessary to state that the coach was a licensed stage coach, for as the information stood, it might be a gentle man's own carriage for what he knew. Mr. BALLANTYNE was of opinion that this information could be gone into, as the 24th section set all the objections as to form at rest. He did not think it necessary that the license should be produced or proved. The informer, Sparks, then called a witness of the name of Welsh, who on the afternoon of the 27th of October last, saw the defendant driving a Blackwall stage along the Com mercial•road, there being at the time more passengers on the coach than •it was licensed to carry. Another witness supported the former witness's testimony. Mr. BALLANTYNE considered a case made out against the defendant, but as he had never been at the office before on a similar charge, lie would mitigate the penalty from 10/. to 51. with costs. The defendant intimated his intention to appeal against the decision, as also to give bail for his appearance at the Sessions. UNION-HALL.— William Pierce and Joseph Gosling, two youths, were yesterday brought up for final examina tion, and committed for trial, charged with stealing three gold seals, a key and ring, front a Mr. Vowles, of Union street, Southwark, flour-factor.—The prisoners are both reputed thieves. John Shorter, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 978, was charged with using abusive and insulting lan guage to his fare. Mr. HONE fined him 51. and in default of payment committed him for a month to Brixton. The driver, a very stout man, conducted himself in an unmanly manner before the Bench, by crying and blubber ing like a child. The coach which was standing at the door, was sent to its owner.
