DOCTOR DOYLE. of little short of • I,io huinin beings are pro posed to be restored from the most aggr avated state of human miserj ., and wretchedness, to one which may afford the greater part of them a rea sonable chance of cure, and to the hOpeless des titution of the rest such care and protection as may soothe the melancholy lot of the incurable maniac. W'e hear it is to be opposed on the score of economy, and that certain parish vestries, to their everlasting disgrace, have. for the first time in their lives, a serious fore boding on the head of expence. How much wiser would it be for these persons to look at home ! They, indeed, to talk of economy, who every year squander twice the amount out of the parish rates, on their own private jobs and pro jects as would suffice to accomplish this desir able—this, we may say, indispensable object ! But we trust that there are none of the MagiS trates, or any considerable part of the public, who will be duped by this fallacy.. The truth is, that, under any thing like proper management, the erection of a County Asylum for pauper lu natics will in the end be a measure of economy, and not of expence; though, were it likely to be otherwise, the call for it is too imperative to ren der that any obstacle to its completion. Takingthe present number ofpauper lunatics at I,ooo—which we believe very little, if at all, exceeds their actual amount—one half of them, it may be fairly cal culated, will soon cease to . , be such, when a curative systern, takeS place of the present mode of aggravating and confirming their . disease. Not only has it been established beyond a doubt that the cure of this dreadful malady never enters into the minds of most of the keepers of private madhouses, but that, having an interest directly opposed to it, they actually prevent its adoption. When, therefore, a parish which, for any pauper of this kind, has to pay an annuity of thirty pounds a-year, determinable probably, only with life, finds, by a better system, the same description of burden taken off their hands and restored to society in a few months, let this be only calculated upon the large scale to which it actually extends, and opposed to that] parish's share of the original cost of erecting a l County Asylum, and in less than ten years a positive saving will be found to accrue, even upon the most extravagant estimate. But we would not rest the argument upon this ground only for a moment. If any part of the expendi ture of the Poor-rate 'he justifiable, surely that which is applied to the care of "the impotent" comes Most strictly within its original meaning ; and it would be as reasonable that the doors of workhouses should be closed, and those of prisons thrown open—in short, that poverty on the one hand, and crime on the other, should be no longer public burdens—as that the greatest of hum l an calamities, and the most awful of the visitations of Providence, should be left to lin ger in aggravated, wretchedness, that those who never thought ofecOnom) before may indulge for once in its most cruel, heartless exercise. The public feeling, however, is alive to the matter, and the public eye will be upon those who have it in hand ; and we look with confidence to an issue Which will rescue the character of the coun try from one of the deepest stains which it has ever received in the knowledge and non-removal of such scenes as the late Parliamentary investi gation shows haS been so long in existence and so long unredressed.—Mornzng Herald. accept them, we are inclined to think that the establishment of a Government capable of diplo matic relations, and such as to satisfy all the parties concerned, that is to say, Russia, Eng land, and France, the Turkish Government and the Greek people, not to mention Austria or any other Power which may think its opinion entitled to attention—would be a task not to be very easily or rapidly executed. It is not too much to say that there are no authorities, other than those who derive their commissions from the Porte, existing at this moment in Greece, who are better qualified to enter into diplomatic relations with Foreign States in the name and on the behalf of their country, than the leaders of the last Irish rebellion were entitled to enter into such relations in the name and on the behalf of Ireland. And, whatever we may think of the Administration into the hands of which the af fairs of this country have unhappily fallen for a time, we are not without hope that even they would hesitate to establish a precedent, under the sanction of which France or Spain might, at some future day, pretend to form diplomatic re lations with a new Popish State, by means of sending an Envoy to the rebel commandants of a few thousand',: Irish pikes, and the temporary possessors of a few isolated Irish baronies.— illorning Post. Although in his elaborate judgment, which we gave yesterday, Lord Stowell has gone at considerable length into the general question im plied in the fifth count in the original informa tion, namely, that a person who hath once 'be come possessed of freedom by residence in Great Britain, cannot again be reduced to slavery ; yet, in the decision to which the Learned Lord has come,: he seems to rely rather on the specialties of the case, and particularly on the defective manner in which the indictment was drawn up. There is, indeed, a manifest contradiction on the face of the instrument ; for if, by any residence in England, the female in question had acquired the rights of a free subject, and if those rights, as the Crown advocates have held, are indefea sible, with what show of reason or law was the charge laid under the Slave Registration Act ? And, on the other hand, if those rights had either not been obtained or had become forfeited, with what appearance of common sense could a statute which regulates the communication of one co lony with another be held to apply to the commu nication of Antigua with England, which, by a bull analagous to that which made Eve one of her own daughters, : ,is thus exhibited as one of its own de pendencies? It is impossible, therefore, not to con cur with Lord Stowell,when he says,that upon such an indictment the case wholly fails, and in con sequence, that he might, in conformity with the general practice that entitles a Court to dismiss a cause in which the indictment or information has wholly failed, dismiss this cause without ceremony. We are, therefore, in discussing the general question, which we can at present merely enter upon, and on which, with much deference, we dissent from his Lordship, relieved from a task which might well be deemed presumptuous —appearing to set up our judgment in opposi tion to the decision of the Learned Judge. The doctrine which Cowper sung and Philpott Cur ran declaimed, that slaves cannot live in Eng land, or, to use the words of the latter, that no *sooner does the stranger or sojourner set foot on our soil, " no matter in what language his doom may have been pronounced—no matter what complexion, incompatible with freedom, sal In dian or an African sun may have burnt ton him—no matter in what disastrous battle his liberty may have been cloven down— no matter with what solemnities he may have been devoted upon the altar of slavery— , the first moment he" touches the sacred soil of Britain, the altar - and the god sink toge ther in the dust ; his soul walks abroad in her own majesty ; his body swells beyond the mea sure of his chains, that burst from around him, and he stands redeemed, regenerated, and disen thralled, by the irresistible genius of universal emancipation." This doctrine, thus glowingly described, is by no means old, in so far as the dicta of our lawyers are concerned. Mr. Attor ney-General Yorke, afterwards Lord Hardwicke, and Mr. Solicitor-General Talbot, afterwards Earl Talbot, when called on for their opinion on this question, in January 14, 1729, answered— " We are -of opinion that a slave, by coming from the West Indies to Great Britain or Ire land, either with or without his master, doth not become free." And they added, agreeably to this view ; that the master might lawfully compel his slaVe's return to the colonies. We are aware of the high character of these eminent lawyers ; but we cannot help thinking that, on this parti cular point, their judgments were a little warped. Grotius, as interpreted by his commentator Gro ' novius, lays down a very different doctrine in respect to the Continent—" Servus ac terrain Francorum tetigeret eodenz moment° liber fit." We are the rather inclined to attach small weight to the opinion of the Crown Lawyers in 1729, that it does not seem to have been muck attended to in the Courts. An opinion diametrically op posite was pronounced in 1732—0n1y three years after—in the case of "De Pinna v. Hen riquez ;', and Baron Thompson in 1750, in the case of " Galway v. Cadee, declared that a slave became free on his first setting foot in England. Lord Chief Justice Holt held the same lan guage, and he adds, " one may be a villein in England, but not a slave." It is true that there were opposing judgments, and in practice the doctrine of Lords Hardwicke and Talbot were acted on for many years after. So late as 1770, advertisements were common in the English newspapers of negroes for sale, and sales were actually effected in London as openly, if not so commonly, as in Jamaica. Granville Sharpe quotes from one of the Journals of 1769, a no tice which states, that the advertiser has for sale, " a chesnut gelding, a good grey . mare, and a well-made good tempered black boy." On the 22d June, 1772, Lord Mansfield, after much deliberation (he put it off for three Terms), pro nounced the famous judgment in the case of " Summersett and Knowles," which finally set the question at rest on one point, namely, that no master of a slave in England had a legal right to take him back to the Colonies without his consent, or, in other words, to reduce him again to a state of slavery. The question which has arisen, rather incidentally than directly, out of the case appealed to Lord Stowell—whether a person formerly a slave, who had been made free by the mere act of residing in Britain, could lose the liberty thus obtained, and fall back into his original condition, which we shall briefly consider to-morrow, was not raised in Summer y setts case.--Nev. imes. The Morning Paper which is the most closely connected with . Administration, and the most deeply pledged td • its support, presented its readers; yesterday with the following exquisite specimen of siniplicity in relation to the Treats of Intervention between Turkey and Greece, and the naval operations consequent upon it : " By continuing," mys our contemporary, "the same ! , s. - stem of rigour, the independence of Greece is secured, Wilrthr the Porte accepte of the proffered terms or not ; and nothing but a confusion in the Greek Government, or the prevalence of internal anarchy, can long prevent the Allies from entering into those d2plomatic relation” with this new Christian State which are announced in the Convention by which its establishment and protection are guaranteed." Vigour—lnternal Anarchy—Diplomatic Relations—Each of these phrases suggest a train of reflections which if the zeal of our contempo rary had not outrun his discretion, he would have been most careful not to excite. Let us cake them in their order. The vigour of the Iptem is exemplified in the establishment of a blockade, which, to judge from past events, the blockaded force either altogether or in portions may attempt to break through whenever and as often as a convenient opportunity presents itself, without the dread of any worse consequenee than that of being led back to a safe harbour, and placed in a state and position of readi ness for a renewed attempt. This is a new kind of vigour in the enforcement of a legiti mate blockade. Its practical result must be to render the blockade entirely nugatory, or, in other words, to ensure the escape of the Turkish force, either collectively or in detached portions, if ita Commander waits and watches for those advantageous opportunities, which in such cir cumstances are sure to occur. Our operations have been so conducted, (and in this it may per haps be said there is a degree of moral vigour) as to involve the unequivocal and hardy confes sion of the illegitimacy anti injustice of our whole enterprise. The unresisted continuance, and the rapid growth of Greek piracy in the Le vant, affords another beautiful illustration of our vigour. The policy of the Greek insurgents sanctions piracy, or it does not. In the former, which we believe to he the actual case, England ought to have been the sternest and most active of their foes. In the latter, England, if she un dertook the office of their friend, and meant to discharge it with either wisdom, sincerity, or v i gour , would have lent them effectual assistance for the suppression of piracy—the oppro biurri of their nation and cause. T he existence rf internal anarchy in Greece, from the first incr anent of the insurrection to the present time, is a fact which we suppose will not be disputed. Our Philhelienists w0111(1, we know, dispute it if they could, and maintain very gravely that there is now in Greece a government regularly organized and acknowled.c;ed ; but the systematic and un bounded trade of piracy carried on by the Greek people, both of the Islands and the Continent, would render this pretension rather inconvenient ; inasmuch as established Governments are gene rally deemed in some degree responsible for the conduct of their subjects. We have no fear, therefore, of being contradicted, when we assert the actual prevalence of internal anarchy in Greece. Nor do we see the least chance of its being superseded by any firm and settled Go vernment, unl es s i n one of these two events — the full resumption of authority by the Ottoman Porte ; or the conversion of Greece into a Rus aian province substantially, under whatever name or form the dependency be disguised. .may The Allies then are likely, t as it appears to us, to he prevented for a 101 l "mg into "diplomaticg limp to come from i enter ations with the new Christian State,'-' unless t he Porte slsould ac cept the proffored terms : and if it even should Mr. HOLLAND, a gentleman who died re cently at Gawsworth, was remarkable for the eccentricity of his character. Amongst other whims, he would never allow his horses to be shod, as he used to say it would make them so proud that they could never work for look ing down at their feet !---Mancheilter Mercury. IRELAND. KING'S COUNTY QUARTER SESSIONS. The general Quarter Sessions for the King's county closed at Parsonstown on Thursday last, and the proceedings were highly important to this county and neighbourhood, as a number of persons belonging to the two contending factions of the " Darigs and Cummins" were indicted for riots and assaults. We understand that 50 of them were convicted and sentenced, and we sin cerely hope that the severe and necessary examples that have been made will produce good effects, and that the violence and outrage which for some time kept the peaceable and industrious in terror and alarm, will give way to tranquillity. Twenty of the rioters, who had•asseinbled to the number of many hundreds, at a place called Borafoka, on Sunday, the 7th of October, for the purpose of giving battle to the opposing faction, which had ° also met in great numbers, were tried and con victed. We subjoin the address which Mr. Howley, the assistant barrister, pronounced in passing sentence upon them, as we think it paints in strong colours the folly and wickedness of those tumultuous assemblies, and because we consider it a good moral lecture, as applicable to our own county as to the persons to whom it was addressed : POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Mr. Tunnell, of Fleet- • street, appeared a second time to meet the complaint of Mr. Armstrong, of Liverpool, and account for having possession of three watches Mr. Armstrong believed to have been stolen from him. Some time was wasted in conversation, Mr. Armstrong. wishing the case to be again postponed for want of counsel, and the other party resisting his applica tion : at last Sir J. PERRING said to Mr. Armstrong, " Have you any fresh evidence?" Mr. Armstrong—l be lieve so. _ _ " Traversers at the Bar,--You have been severally tried and convicted of being amongst a party, which , assembled to the number of some hundreds, on Sun day, the 7th of October, at a place, in this county, called Borafoka, for the purpose of entering into hostile conflict with other persons to whom you are opposed, who had also met in great force at the same place, and with whom you have been for some time past carrying on an unnatural and sanguinary warfare. Some amongst you appear to have been armed with deadly weapons, and but for the very prompt and active interference of the constabulary force, there can be little doubt but that the day would not have gone down without witnessing the mutilation, if not the death of some human beings. It further appears, that when you were remonstrated with by the chief constable commanding the police, and who seems to have acted with caution and for bearance, instead of obeying his orders, which were communicated to you in a tone more of friendliness than anger, and departing peaceably to your homes, some amongst you assailed him with stones, one of which took effect with serious injury. It is to be collected, not alone from the evidence in this case, but from other trials that have taken place at the present sessions, that this part of the country, to the extent of several miles, has been for some time past, kept in a state of continued agitation and alarm by two factions, to one of which you appear to be long. Designated by particular names, and confederated by wicked and secret oaths, they pursue their sanguinary reprisals against each other, with an unresentingand unwearied perseverance. At the fair and at the market, at the chapel and at the funeral, by night and by day, they search out for the opposing clan, and meet only to assail. Instances have occurred,where, in the very streets of thistown at the public and busy hour of the day, murder has been done ; and, although committed before many witnesses, they either from fear or wickedness have not declared the crime against the foul perpetrators. When the passions of men. are strongly moved, we naturally look for the motive of such excitement, and which, although it might fail to justify, would yet tend to explain. But you appear to act from no other impulse than a kind of wanton wickedness, which, if you consult your own hearts, you will find not only to be without cause, but without colour.— Consider the character of those offences which your clanships and your factions lead you to commit. In the first place, you violate the solemn command of the Deity, who has given it as his canon that we should love our neighbour; you are, secondly, guilty of an offence against the laws of your country, by interrupting the public peace, and committing vio lence upon those who are within its protection.— True it is that you have bound yourselves by secret oaths to aid each other in the perpetration of outrage but in doing so you greatly aggravate your crime, in thus daring to call on a God of Peace as a witness to your unchristian confederation, and you are guilty of a deep profanation in attempting to join the sanction of the Divinity to purposes against which he has set his precept. What can you pro pose to yourselves by the conduct you are pursuing ? Do you imagine that you will be allowed to violate the law with impunity, and that it must abdicate in your favour ? Or are you weak enough to think, that the peaceable and the industrious must leave the public fair and market, and assign them to you as a field upon which to decide your fierce conten tions ? No day or place is respected by you. On Sunday, a day that ought to be dedicated to better purposes, you frequently meet in anger against each other ; you assemble at the chapel, not for objects of devotion and religion, but for those of feud and of battle. At the burials of the dead, you come to gether rather as a hostile gathering, , than with those sentiments of subdued and sober feeling which should grow out of such evidence of your own mortality. See the further consequence of your violation.of the laws. So far as regards yourselves, it must be a long confinement, at a distance from your homes ; but it will also press heavily on persons whom you are bound to protect, and towards whom you have broken your duty, by placing yourselves in that con dition which disables you from affording that protec tion. Such of you as have wives and children can not, during the period of your confinement, perform towards them those duties which at the altar you vowed to exercise towards the one, and which na ture, speaking ,vithin your hearts, moves you to afford to the other = you have brought upon them a kind of widowhood and orphanage, and they have a right to cry out against you. Your farms, too, must remain for a period without your management and direction, and thus your means, which may be little, are likely to become less. Do not blame the law for these things; they are the bitter fruits of your own misconduct. Let me then earnestly solicit you to come to a better reflection, and I speak as well' to the crowded auditory in Court as to the traver sers standing at the bar. Let me remind you, that it you continue to perpetrate outrages upon each other, that the day may come, when, in the pla ce o f standing at the bar of this ourt, charged with a misdemeanour, yon 'may have to pass the heavy and gs to which I you in anxious day of trial for your lives, answering, as culprits, for some murdered victim of your violence. a — ng D er o ; m it t ilmvosuglidneillthbaetcolmseaytthhe placeesethin from address you, that I should speak in such a spirit; neither must you think that the law is partial or se vere, for you must remember that the same protec tion which it is now affording to others in awarding punishment against your offence, it would also ex tend to you, should you in turn require such pro- , tection. The severity of the lavv oftentimes becomes the exercise of its best mercy. Sir J. PEAKING—When are you likely to produce it? Mr. Armstrong—To-morrow, or at least I shall have Mr. Butler. Mr. Adolphus submitted that whether Mr. Butler at tended or not, the Magistrate would not permit a respectable tradesman to be harrassed day after day. On the part of Mr. Tunnel {although he had not consulted him on the point) he would propose that he should enter into recogni sance to appear at the nett sessions in case Mr. Armstrong chose to prefer an indictment, or to appear here on any future day,. on receiving sufficient notice,—say three days. Mr. Clarkson did nut think the case would warrant the calling upon his client to appear here from time to time. Mr. Henson, a solicitor, said Mr. Armstrong would be satisfied with Mr. Adolphus's proposition, and Mr. T. having declared his willingness to meet the charge at any time, was dismissed. Mr. Tunnel! had, at the previous hearing, entered into his own recognizance in 1001. to appear at the next See. lions (for the Magistrates have not power to take recogni zances to appear on a future day at any other place) and it was unnecessary to bind him over anew. Miller, the chief officer at Lambeth-street, was in at tendance early in the morning, to rebut an insinuation thrown out by Mr. Armstrong, that he kept him exposed in the police-office half an hour, although cautioned that such exposure would frustrate the object in obtaining a search-warrant, as Ikey Solomon's spies were acquainted with Mr. Armstrong's person. Miller denies that he had any such caution given to him, or that he detained Mr. A. above ten minutes. Mr. Armstrong also complained of the delay that took place at Guildhall in discussing whether a search warrant could be granted upon his oath alone. There was, evi dently, however, some difficulty in the case. Magistrates are held to have a common law right to issue search-war rants, but that right has long been regulated by statute. The 22d of Geo. HI. c. 58, enacted, that " On complaint being made on oath before one justice that there is reason to suspect that stolen goods are knowingly concealed in any house or place, he may by his warrant cane such house or place to be searched in the day-time." This Act is repealed by one of Mr. Peel's five acts passed last session, and the only clause in the new statute upon this point is the 53d section of the larceny act, which seems to assume that the old law is still in existence. It states, " If any credible witness shall prove upon oath a reason able cause to suspect that any person has in his possession or on his premises, any property on or with respect to which, any such offence (that is, any offence punishable by indictment, or upon summary conviction) shall have been committed, the justice may grant a warrant to search for such property, as in the case of stolen goods." Now Mr. Armstrong was unable to bring forward the source of his private information, and the three watches he had seen, and believed to have been stolen from his premises, were not concealed, but exposed in a manner that seemed to overturn the presumptien that Mr. Tunnell had received them knowing them to have been stolen, and which pre sumption alone could form a ground for issuing a search warrant. BOW.STREET.—A young man of rather gentlemanly address, but whose coat and trousers bore evident marks of a recent roll in the mud, was placed at the bar under the following whimsical circumstances:— John Gallway was brother to Mr. George Gallway, of No. 6, York -street, Covent-garden, who. trades in Irish whisky. On Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, he was in his brother's shop, when the prisoner, whom he had never seen to his knowledge before, came in, and asked to see some samples of Irish whisky. A few samples were accordingly set before him,- and after tasting two of them, he ordered three gallons of a particular description to be sent to the residence of Thomas Spring Rice, Esq. 26, Baker-street, Portman-square ; and from what he said, the witness believed him to be that person. The prisoner, after some further conversation, in which. he mentioned the names of several distinguished persons, whose partiality for Irish whisky, he said, was equal to his own, requested leave to go into the parlour, and asked the witness to oblige him with some whisky and, a little cold water, ad. " I wish to try the flavour of yopr whisky, but it would not be decorous you know, for a man in my station to be seen drinking in a shop." The witness corn- plied with this request, introduced the prisoner to the parlour, and provided him with about a pint and a-half of raspberry whisky in a bottle, with some cold water and sugar. One or two gentlemen then came into the shop, and the witness went to serve them. On returning to the parloui, in about a quarter of an hour, he saw the prisoner sitting on a couch looking very stupid and queer. Suspect ing the cause, and yet hardly crediting his senses, he turned his eye to the whisky bottle, and saw that it contained a very small quantity indeed, although when be left it with the prisoner it was nearly full. The prisoner rose up as well as 'he was able, stammered out something in praise of the whisky, and promised to draw a large connexion to his brother's shop. He again mentioned the name of several high personages with whom he said he was quite familiar, and observed i that he was sure his cousin, Sir John Burke, who was particularly attached to Irish whisky whenever he could get the genuine article, would order ten gallons at least , for his private drinking. The prisoner said his own name was Thomas Spring Rice, and added they have made me Under Secretary of State lately much against my will I assure you. His brother fortunately came in shortly after. Mr. George Galiway, whose rich accent bespoke him to be a native of the southern extremity of the sister kingdom where whisky. is said to be in its purity, stated what he, knew of the transaction, and occasioned considerable mer riment by the droll manner in which he gave his evi dence. " Please your worship," said he, " I came into the shop last night about eight o'clock, and as soon as I (lid, my brother here pulled me one side, and told me, in a whisper, that Mr. Spring Rice, the Under Secretary of State, was in the parlour dead drunk.— (Loud laughter.)—My brother declared he had drank nearly a pint and a half of whisky, and be did not know what on earth to do with him. I was very ranch sur prised at this, your worship, as I thought Mr. Rice was quite another sort of a person, and so I took off my hat of respect to his rank, to be sure, and went into the parlour, where I saw a gentleman sitting on the sofa, looking very queer certainly. He came over to me as well as he could, shook me by the hand and said, " Ah ! how do you do ? You know me, I suppose ? lam Mr. Themes Spring Rice, Under Secretary of State for the Home Department. I shall patronize your house, andshall feel very happy in helping you to dispose of your whis key.' (Renewed laughter, in which the Bench was forced to join.) He then said a great many strange things, and after running on for some moments he suddenly stopped short and asked me what he had been saying. There was a gentleman in the shop who was personally acquainted with Mr. Rice, and as I began to feel some doubts that the prisoner's account of himself was correct. I requested this gentleman to take notice of the person of the prisoner as he passed through the shop, on his way to the street. The gentleman, however declined doing so, and turned his head another way, saying, ' I don't wish Mr. Rice should think I saw him in such a situation , it might hurt his feelings.' (Roars of laughter). Mr. Gallway concluded by stating that just as the prisoner reached the street, the gentleman in the shop caught a glimpse of his person, and declared at once that he was not Mr. Rice ; "upon hearing which," said the witness, " I called the watch and gave the prisoner into custody. I asked him if hie name was Rice, but he denied it, and said his name was Martin." Mr. HALLS asked the prisoner, who seemed hardly re covered from the effects of his potation, what lie had to say for:himself; " but first, what is your name, said die Magistrate ?" The prisoner replied, that his name was Patrick Henry Martin. Mr. HALLS—Ot what business or profession are you ? ' Prisoner—l am in uo trade or business ;lam a private gentleman. He added, I am a private gentleman. I have been in the wine trade, and have property in the West Indies. Mr. HALLS--It is proved in evidence that you went sober into this persen's shop, and ordered three gallons of spirits in the name of a gentleman with whom, it appears, you have no connexion whatever. You afterwards, when drunk, stated yourself to be that person • and as there is reas on to suppose that y ou h ave practised similar tricks elsewhere, I shall feel it my duty to remand you until to morrow The prisoner was then removed• He appeared at first to treat the matter as a joke, but he grew suddenly very serious, when told he should be remanded for another examination. lIATTON-GARDEN.—Joseph Baulion, who lived as footman in the service of Miss Pearson, in Lamb's conduit-street, was yesterday brought before "r. ROGERS and Mr. Sergeant SELLON, the sitting Magistrates, upon a charge of having robbed his mistress of plate to the v a lue of nearly 3001. Miss Pearson's brother stated to the Magistrate, that she had taken the prisoner into her service some time in September last, upon trial fora month ; that on the even ing of the 22d of October, the day previous to the expira tion of the month, she went out to enjoy a party of her friends, leaving at home none but a female servant and the prisoner; and that it was supposed that the prisoner, taking advantage of his mistress's absence, seized the op portunity of committing the robbery with which he was now charged. The prisoner was then interrogated by the MaatsTaaTa. He said he was from Buckinghamshire. He was taken up before upon suspicion of having stolen books. That he lived with a Mrs. Goad, in Mitcham, after leaving the Rev. Mr. Crammer, from both of whom he received a most excellent character. That after he left Mitcham he took up his residence at the Flying Horse, Grubb-street, where he lived five weeks before he came to Miss Pearson, and that he at present resides at 427, Oxford-street. . . The MAGISTRATES consulted with one another for some short time, when Mr. ROGERS declared that, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, they could see nothing in them strong enough to warrant them in detain ing the prisoner.—He was then discharged. Suspicion attached in no small degree to the two female servants, by reason of a Mrs. Bennett, who lives in Bald win's-gardens, and was in the habit of visiting them at Miss Pearson's in the character of fortune-teller. THAMES-POLlCE.—Yesterday a young woman, with a child in her arms, named Mary Cain, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINZ, the Sitting Magistrate, by . Wilson, the officer, to answer the charge of Mary Cal laghan, who had been beaten most severely, and thrown into a bonfire, on the night of the sth inst., by which she was very much burnt about the legs and arms. The complainant, an Irishwoman, appeared to be suffer ing under great pain. She stated that she lives in King street, in the district of the office, as also does Mary Cain, that on Monday evening she went out, and on returning home, discovered that the whole of her back premises had been torn down, and the wooden palings of which they were composed, together with some linen that she had left upon the clothes-line, had been carried away as fuel for a large bonfire, then raging in a square place at the rear of her house. She went amongst the party surrounding the fire, and endeavoured to extricate some of her palings, when she was beset by a mob of boys and men, who attacked her with heavy stones and brickbats, several of which struck her; they afterwards threw her into the midst of the bonfire, and with the utmost difficulty she saved herself from being con sumed. The defendant took a very active part in pelting her with stones. After she had made her way into her own house, .the. defendant attacked the door, which was literally demolished with stones : fearing her life was in danger, she went up stairs, when a shower of brickbats came into the room, demolishing the glass and frame-work of the windows. A female witness, named Casey, swore most positively to having seen the defendant throw stones in at the windows. The 'MAGISTRATE told her, that two persons having sworn most positively that she had thrown the stones and demolished six squares of glass, he should order her to make compensation, or be committed to the House of Cor rection. The defendant refused to compensate the complainant, and she was committed accordingly. QUEEN-SQUARE.--Yesterday, Harriet Williams alias Percy, and Jas. Bates, were charged with robbing Mr. G. Whitroe, a tradesman of considerable property, carrying on the business of a japanner, at No. 25, Great Peter -street, Westminster, of a pocket-book, containing 501. in Bank of England notes. Mr. Whitroe, who is apparently upwards of 60 years of age, stated, that he had known the female prisoner since June last, and was in the habit of calling upon her at her lodgings in Pear-street, Stratton-ground. He called on Tuesday afternoon, when he had in his pocket a pocket book, containing two 201. notes and two 5/. He sent her out for some refreshment; and in consequence of having once before lost a diamond-pin when in her company, he thought it best while she was absent, to conceal the pocket book between the bed and bedstead. After he left her lodgings, be missed his pocket-book, and recollecting where he had placed it, hurried back, and asked if Harriet was at home? The landlady said she was not, and would not let hico go up stairs. He, however, forced his way, and found the door of the room fastened. After some little time, the landlady called to the person inside to open the door, when the prisoner, Bates, opened it. He found the bed in greater confusion than when he left the room, and his pocket-book was gone. The female prisoner, in her defence, alleged that the complainant was in the habit of calling upon her, when he was sure to make her drunk. On Monday afternoon-they drank three quarts of gin. She detailed other unimpor tant circumstances in regard to their intimacy, and some gambols the complainant played with her ; and concluded by asserting that he had premised her marriage, and given her a bond for 2,0001. as security for its fulfilment. Bates declared he knew nothing of the money; he lodged in the house. Some ridiculous letters from Mr. Whitroe to the female prisoner were handed ❑p to the Magistrate.—The prisoners were remanded till Saturday. UNION-HALL.—A French gentleman, named Du Pre, appeared to answer a charge of assaulting a carpenter named Tebbs, of Walworth. The son of the complainant, with other boys, on the sth inst., presented himself before the defendant's house, with an effigy of Guy Fawkes, and the defendant, irritated at the conduct of the younkers, tumbled the effigy into a ditch, and afterwards assaulted the complainant. A solicitor for Mr. Du Pre, alleged that the boys were purposely sent to annoy the defendant. 31r. Du Pre e►en tually entered into his own recognizances to answer the charge. THE MARKETS.
