FOREIGN MELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Monism of Thursday.) Pains, SEPT. 13.• -•-At the rneniLat wa are writing, the cornb:ned fleets mni have taken their stations in the nediterranean. The part which the diplomatist.; had to act seems to be finished. If that of the 1 7arriors begin, it will be shorter; but we very Much doubt that it will, have a beginning. All eyes are now turned to Constantinople. Every one endeavours to divine the secret of the Ottoman councils. It cer•delnly is not impossible that they may give birth to some haughty teisly. Thus, on the eve of the battle of Antyta, Brozet insulted Tamerlane, Thus on the eve of the battle of Les panto, Os chiali and Ali-Perthan had a cottention as to n'aich shonld have Don Juan tor his slave. Cara Mustapha, while Sobieski was in pre stiles promised his Janissaries the pillage of Vienna. But personal interest has often dissipated these ebullitions of Mussulman pride, and more than one reparation has commenced by btavadoes. Without going back to remote periods for instances, it is well known what resistance the craft of the Divan lately opposed to the wishes of Russia, and what flexibility the Tallish negotiators displayed in the conferences at Akermann. The character of European policy doubtless gives Confidence to the Divan ; the moderation of the Sovereigns encourages it to distrust their power. How happens the Porte not to have reflected, that this character, which is truly Christian, is not to be reconciled with the extermination of Christians, — that this very moderation adds weight to proofs of dissatisfaction, and that the force most to be feas-ed is that which has been longest repressed The Divan will look more clv;eiy into its situa tion. Africa now belong; to the Potts only by rmi.tue. This nominal st.aertivity is, however, some thing in a crisis, ar.d the Porte has already gathered its fruits. Btt't what security is there for it ? What the Greeks have dent from a spirit of religion or of ye/leaflet, may not others do from ambition P Have the facilities which might tempt the Pasha of Egypt been well considered ? And the independence of Egyrs once obtained, would that of Syria be long of fonowing? Except Romelia, what European do 'minion of the Porte can it consider as its own i Yesterday we were told that Albania was in arms; to-morrow we shall,perhaps, be told that Thessaly has found another Ali Pacha. Amidst these wavering fidelities, these successive demolitions, when three powerful fleets shall oppnse a barrier to all the rein forcement which the Turks might receive,—when a formidable army shall sound the fords of the and measure, the heights of the Balkan, what ad viser, ho , :lever stupid or perfidious, will be able to instige;ce the Porte to an audacity which would ren der even its misfortune ridiculous ? Every thing induces us to believe that the Porte will submit to this necessity, as it has to many others; that it will exert all the resources of its policy to retard the in evitable epoch of a profound fall, which it is the object of the intervention of three allied Powers to postpone, and which the adoption of insane councils would precipitate. (From tine Gazette ck France, dated Sept. 15.) COn'itANTINOPLS, Atm. 9.—The publication made by the Russian Legation on the 21st of July, is only a renewal of an order that existed before, but it is very remarkable, at the moment of the arrival of the Russian squadron in the Archipelago. It en joins the most strict neutrality between the con tending parties, and declares that the Government will not interfere in any manner in favour of these captains of ships who violate it. (FILO3I A LETTIM OF TBE 21er OF AUGUST.) On the 16th instant the Ambassadors of the three Courts transmitted, by their Dragomans, to the Porte, the treaty concluded at London on the 6th of July, with additional notes, in which the time fixed for the acceptance of the proposals is limited *0 11 days. It is stated, that on the Ist of August, the Egyp tian fleet of 100 sail, with 4,000 troops on board, left Alexandria, bound to NaYarin. (BY EXPRESS.) AUG. 22.—The negotiations relative to Greece are drawing to a close, and the moment of denoue.. merit is approaching. On the 16th of this month the Ministers of England, France, and Russia jointly presented the conventiln of the 6th of July, 1827, which is to be considered as the Ultimatum. When the Dragomans delivered the note to the Reis Effendi, he asked them what were the contents of the note, to which they replied that they did not know. The Reis Effendi, without giving an ac knowledgment of the receipt, laid the note aside.— The time fixed for the acceptance, which was at first SO days, is now limited to IS. It is related that M. Stratford Canning has re quested the Austrian Internuncio, Baron Ottenfels, to advise the Divan to accept the proposals of the three Powers, but that he declined to do so. M. Von Millitz, the Prussian Ambassador, is said to have counselled the acceptance, to which the Reis Effendi is reported to have replied, that the Ulti matum was a bill of exchange which could not be honoured. Such is the situation of affairs, and we wait with the greatest anxiety for the 31st August, when the time expires. MADRID, Seri.. 10.—M. Recacho has been forced to fly to Portugal, to escape assassination. The accounts from Catalonia have made the Go vernment resolve to order the formation of an army of 18;000 men, the command of which is confided to the Count d'Espagne, and which is going to be sent against the insurgent/. (Prom the ConstautionneL) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) MADRID, SIFT. 3.—The King received, early on the morning of the 29th of last month, a report (parted dated the 23d, respecting the state of Catalonia; and his Majesty, who had previously paid little attention to the insurrection in that pro vince, learned, to his great regret, that the rebels amounted to 14,000 men, the pursuit of whom, in the mountains, is extremely difficult. Estangs and Caragol are eloquent, skilful, and brave, and they gain over many of the country people and the Royalist volunteers to their cause, so that the numbers of the insurgents increase rapidly. The King sent to Zamora, directing General Monet to come express to the Royal residence. The General arrived on the 30th, and had a long conference with his Majesty. He has since proceeded towards Catalonia, where he is to take the command of 10,000 man destined to act against the insurgents. (FROM ANOTREL coARESPONDEXT.) A meeting of the Ministers took place yesterday at the house of the President of the Council, Sala zar : immediately after the breaking up of the meet ing, General Monet set off express to Catalonia, with the title of Commandant-General. According to the returns made by the three in spectors-General of Infantry, cavalry, and militia, the number of troops designed to meet on three points, to form the army of General Monet, amounts to 5,000 men. The insurrection is said to extend to several vil lages and towns in the province of Valencia►. It is remarkable, that amongst the prisoners taken from the insurgents by the Government troops, nearly half are foreigners,—either Frenchmen, It a lians, or Germans. (EXTRACT OF ANOrkiES PRIVATE LLTTEA•) The greater the excesses of the rebels the more painful is it to find persons of rank in communica tion with them. It is with surprise I hear that Field-Marshal Sanchez Cisneros has been arrested, and conducted to Seville for trial, charged with cor responding with the rebels. We read in the Mercantile Courier of Cadiz, dated the 28th. that on the 25th the guarda-eostas Infanta Don Carlos, Infanta Don Francisco, and another vessel, have brought into port an English brig, mounted with six guns, captured between Gibraltar and Algesiras. After a sanguinary con test, in which several were killed and wounded on bosh sides, the brig, which is laArlaed the Lord LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1827. We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday, and the Gazette de France dated Saturday morning. The Moniteur of Thur.sday contains the article respecting Turkey, to which we alluded in our publication of Satur day, and which must be considered as highly im portant, as conclusive of the determination of the French Government that the illorea and the Archipelago should be for ever lost to Turkey. This article admits that some haughty reply to the Ultimatum may be given by the Porte, but it observes that personal interest has often dissipated these ebullitions of Mussulman pride, and that more than one reparation has corn- . menced by bravadoes. Hence it argues that the Turkish. Government «ill submit to the present necessity as it has to many others—that it will exert all the resources of its policy to retard the levitable epoch of a profound fall, which it is the object of the intervention of the three Allied Powers to postpone, and which the adoption of insane councils would precipitate. While, how ever, this article thus argues on the probability of the submission of the Porte, it acknowledges that the character of European policy gives con fidence to the Divan, and that the moderation of the Sovereigns encourages it to distrust their power. It reminds the Porte, however, that this character, which is truly Christian, is not to be reconciled with the extermination of Chris tians; that this very moderation adds weight to proofs of dissatisfaction, and that the force most to be feared is that which has been longest re pressed :—The part which the diplomatists had to act, seems, it says, to be finished—if that of the warriors begin—it will be shorter. The French Government have thus announced to the world, through the medium of their official journal, that the refusal of the Ultimatum offer ed by the Allied Powers to Turkey will be the signal for immediate hostilities; and if the intel ligence contained in the Gazelle de France of Saturday, from Constantinople, which comes down to the 22d ult. be correct, those hostilities must commence on the 31st of August. It appears by this communication that the Ambassadors of the three Courts transmitted by the Dragomans to the Porte on the 16th August the Treaty concluded in London on the 6th July, with additional notes, which limited the time for the acceptance of the proposals to four teen days. When the Dragomans delivered the Note to the Reis Effendi, the latter asked them what were the contents of the Note, to which they replied they did not know. The Reis Effendi then, without giving an acknowledgment of its receipt, laid the note aside. It is stated that Mr. STRATFORD CANNING had r equested the Austrian Internuncio to ad vise the Divan to accept the proposals of the three Powers, but that he had declined to do so. On the Prussian Ambassador having given this advice to the Reis Effendi, he replied that the Ultimatum was a bill of exchange which could not be honoured. The haughty pride of the Porte must therefore be lowered, and it will be shewn that it is u se l ess to resist the advice of the three mighty Powers who have offered it, and will insist on its being ultimately agreed to. By the accounts from Madrid, it appears that the King of SPAIN and his Ministers are at length awakened to the dangers of the insurrec tion in Catalonia. Meetings of the Ministers American Papers, to the 19th August, were also received last night. The Philadelphia Gazette of the 18th states, that no intelligence of the ratification of peace between Brazil and Buenos Ayres had reached Pernambuco on the 9th July ; but the Aurora Gazelle, of the 17th August, has the following paragraph, from which it would appear that the news of peace having been definitively settled had reached Pernambuco, on the 11th of that month :-•••• PIT.RNAMBUCO.—By the brig Susan and Phebe, which arrived at Boston on Thursday, in thirty-two days from Pernambuco, :intelligence is received that peace was de clared between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, two days before its sailing, July 11th. Great rejoicings accompanied its annunciation, and business wore a new aspect. Extract of a letter, dated Pernambuco, July 9, l/37 : The news of the treaty being ratified between Brazil and Buenos-Ayres, bad net been proclaimed at Pernambuco on the 9th of July. There is a large Brazilian frigate lying off Pernambuco, waiting for soldiers, and the gangs on shore are pressing all the country people who come to town." We received last night, by the Flanders Mail, the ,Allgemeine Zeitung to the 9th inst. and Brussels Papers to the 14th, from which we make the following extracts : TRIESTE, AUGUST 30.—Captain Tomanovich, of the Austrian brig Feladelfo, who arrived here to-day in 20 days from Syra, met on the 10th, off Cerijo, two English ships of the line, and the next day a man-of-war under Russian colours. -Off Zante he was attacked by a Greek schooner, which approached him und er Russian colours, and had with it an action of five hours duration. At length his powder being exhausted, be was obliged to yield, and to give up to the pirate a bale of silk and seven bales of sponge, which he demanded for the damage he had sustained, and with which he was satisfied, when the resolute Tomanovieh threatened to set fire to the powder room and blow himself up with the captain of the pirate, who had come on board with four men. Captain Tomano vich and three of his men were wounded in the action.-- At Syra it was reported that three ships which had sailed from this port for Alexandria had been attacked by Greek pirates, and carried into Spezzia, but had been set at liberty by the Austrian frigate Bellona. All the Greek ships of TM in the islands were dismantled except the di vision under Lord Cool:trim.. BUCHAREST, Auo. 21.—The latest accounts from Con- etantinople, of the 13th instant, affirm, indeed, that no change has taken place in the sentiments of the Porte with respect to the intervention of the European Powers; but here people are more and more persuaded that the Divan will yield when the moment for deciding arrives. This opinion prevails even among the Boyards, and at the Court of the Hospodar. BRUSSELS, SETT. I2.—We learn from Tournay that his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, on arriving on the 10th at Lisle, was extremely well received by, the King of France and by the inhabitants of that city. His Royal Highness accompanied his Majesty to a review of the gar rison. The King constantly gave him the right band. It appears by letters received this morning from Jersey, of the 14th inst., that the Friends, JONES, had arrived there on that day from Rio de Janeiro, from whence she sailed on the 22d July, up to which date not any intelligence had been received that the treaty between Brazil and Buenos Ayres had been ratified. Many individuals are in consequence apprehensive that this desired event will nut take place ; there are, however, no just grounds on which to found these fears, as suffi cient time might not have elapsed at the time of the sailing of the Friends, to allow of the answer respecting the treaty to arrive—the houses most interested in this event, generally speaking, are sanguine that many days will not elapse before we receive the desired intelligence. We received this morning the Journal de Si. Pelersburgh to the 31st August, Hamburgh papers to the 16th inst., and the Haarlem Courant to the 14th, from which the following are extracts 6T. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 29. Yesterday evening, at nine o'clock, her Imperial High ness the Grand Duchess Helen was happily delivered of a Princess, who has received the name of Catherine. This event was immediately announced to the inhabitants of St. Petersbnrgh by a salute of 201 guns from the ramparts of the citadel. This morning Te Daum was performed on the occasion in the Church of the Tanric Palace, in the presence of the Emperor, the Empress Mother, an d th e Grand Duke Michael. The Members of the Council of the Empire, the Ministers, Generals, the Court, and the Foreign Ministers, were also present at the ceremony. The city was illuminated in the evening. The number of ships arrived in the port of Riga up to the 23d of August was 1,157; sailed, 1,006. STOCKHOLM, Au r. 31. On the receipt of the news of the death of Mr. Canning, an express was despatched to the Minister of Foreign Af faits (Count Wetterstedt), at Finspang. The Count im mediately came to the capital, and arrived time enough to be present at the fete given by his Majesty at Romedal, in honour of the birth-day of the Crown Princess. The Government has now resolved that the duty of two per cent. on Swedish goods imported, and of one per cent. on those exported to Swedish ports, levied for the benefit of the town of Gottenburgh (according to an ordinance of the year 1700) shall cease from the Ist August this year, and that on foreign goods imported, with the exception of those on which it has already been reduced to one per cent., is to be continued for a short time. The duty paid on corn since the reduction of the duty last year, is said to amount to 50,000 Fix dollars banco. The net amount of all the eustom-house duties in the first seven months of this year was 1,251,266 rix dollars; whereas, in the corresponding seven months of 1 826, it was only 816,108 rix dollars. The great difference arises from the importation of corn. The resolutions of the Norwegian Storthing for the diminution of the salaries of the Governor of the kingdom, and of the Norwegian Minister of State, residing in Stockholm, have now received the sanction of his 111a jeety, who 113 reserved to himself to fix it at the end of the year. On oceaston of one of the late resolutions of the Storthing, in which the King thought he saw a violatiun of the royal prerogative, his Majesty has charged the Norwe gian Government to take care that the limits fixed by the Constitution bo observed. The Crown Prince possesses, in consequence of his mar riage, the Galiera Palace at Bologna, which contains a choice collection of paintings, from the commencement of the art to the middle of the 16th century, including speci mens of Guido, Albano, Carracci, &c. STOCXHOLM, SEPT. 4. The deputation of the 'Norwegian Storthing, after pre senting its congratulation to the Crown Prince and Prin cess, set out on the Ist, on its return to Christiania. Madame Catalani arrived here yesterday evening. BRU9SELS, SEET. 9 Though nothing has yet transpired of the contents of the Concordat concluded with tlie Pope, we may infer from an expression in the OPial Journal, published here, that this convention includes the Northern provinces, as well as the Southern, as we find in it the following phrase—" Let us congratulate ourselves that the Catholics of the Northern provinces will cg.ase to he under Missions, and that go verned by the same regulations as those of the South, will make us only one National Church." At a late hour this afternoon we received by express the Gazette de France dated yesterday. It contains no news of any consequence. We have extracted the following paragraphs as being the most important. The French Funds closed at 72f 40c. : GREECE. (From the Gazette de France of yesterday.) SYRA, AUG. 6. Lei d Cochrane, who has been in our seas for several weeks past, has obtained, by the mediation of the Primates of Hydra and Spezzia, a loan of 20,000 talaris. The news from Napoli di Romania is very afflicting. It has been discovered that Captains Griva and Zaine had communica tion with Ibrahim Pacha to deliver up that fortress. Gen. Church, with Colocotroni and the troops, remain true to the Government, and have cut off the communication of Ibrahim and that town. We learn from Alexandria, that a brig-of-war (English) has arrived there, with letters from the English Consul, and from several merchants, for Lord Cochrane ; that the Egyptian Meet, 80 sail, with 6,000 troops, were ready to sail for Modon for , the attack of Hydra. A great move ment prevails in the European squadrons; the English Admiral has sailed for Smyrna. Keutari Pacha has had an interview with several Turkish Chiefs. aANTE, AUG. 9. It is reported that the Greeks have declared Patna and all the coast opposite to Corfu in a state of blockade. _ BARCELONA, SEPT. 5. Five hundred of the rebels entered yesterday evening Mataro, a town peopled by 12 to 15,000 persons. Letters from Marseilles, state that an arrangement is on the point of being concluded between France and the Dey of Algiers. We have received Lisbon Gazettes to the Ist of Sept. They do not contain any new•, except the departure of the Princess Regent from Cintra to Ajuda, and the nomiva-. tion of Brigadier Vasconcellos to the post of Governor of Elves. Five per Cents. 10l f. 50e. ; Three per Cents. 72(. 15c. The Plover, packet brig, has arrived with a Jamaica mail. She sailed from Carthagena on the 27th July, from Jamaica on the 7th Aug., and from Crooked Island on the 14th. By this opportunity we have news from New York to the 21st of August ; from Philadelphia to the 20th : Ja maica to the 7th, with papers and letters ; from Bogota, to July 21. El Constitutional of July 12th, has a long article, regretting the representations addressed to the Pre sident by the battalions, Teradores and Bravo Apure, the squadron of Bravos, Lanceres de Venezuela, and the brigade of Artilleria, forming the garrison of Carthagena. It also states that from the contents of the private lettere and other intelligence received, that tranquillity would be restored in the southern departments. The project of dis membering the departments of the south, and effecting their junction with the Republic of Peru, is still said to be one of the designs of the leaders of the Colombian Di vision, but it is again as unreservedly contradicted by others. Extract of a. letter horn Honchiraa to s Gentleman in this city, dated 18th June :—" The Superintendant has issued a Proclamation, prohibiting the importation of North American produce from 01110t1 or Traxillo. These is a Spanish 14 gun brig cruising off Truxillo and Omoa. Her intention is to capture the Republican droggers. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY) CITY, TwSL►L o' Ctocx. By the arrival of the Jamaica packet this morn ing, we have papers and letters from the following places :—Nev York, Aug. 21, Philadelphia, Aug. 20, Norfolk, Aug. 14, Jamaica, Aug. 7, and Bogota. July 21. There is not any intelligence of import ance from these quarters. In the English Money market there has been but little fluctuation this morning; Consols for the account opened at BGi 87, declined to 86i, and are now 86i 87; Exchequer Bills 60 pm.; India Bonds 93 pm. The affairs of Turkey and Greece appear to occupy the attention of the Jobbers, and specula tors, and induce them to observe considerable cau tion in their operations; the article in the Moneteur has been duly weighed, but many of them do not eonsider it so warlike as was at first apprehended. The conduct of Messrs, Baring and M. Rocafuette continues the subject of general conversation.

Viscount PALMERSTON has left town for his seat at Woodlands. DOVER, SEPT. 13.—This morning at ten o'clock, his Excellency the Martinis of HERTFORD, arrived in the Crusader Post-office packet, Captain UNE, from Calais, on the termination of the special Embassy with which his Excellency was charged, for investing .his Ma jesty the Emperor of RUSSIA with the Order of the Garter. His Excellency, after taking refreshments at Wright . " Hotel, immediately set out for London. NORWICH MUSIC MEET! N G.—The Grand Festival commences on Tuesday next, and, independently of the usual strength, there will be some new vocalist, ; Madame Pasta, Caradori, Mies Stephens, and Braharn, will be there. On Wednesday and Thursday sacred music, on Friday a brilliant ball, and on Saturday a breakfast. The point d'honneur runs so high in the French army, that a soldier once degraded can never re enter the service in any capacity ; any attempt to force him into it would produce a mntiny among the men. For the same reason, a soldier never receives a blow, even from his officer, without resenting it sur le champ. If he did, in the first place hie comrades would no longer keep company with him ; and in the next, the officer• that committed the outrage would inevitably be put to death. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS--(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. George Haig, aged 18, was indicted for forging and uttering a cheque upon Messrs. Coutts and Co. for the payment of 301. with intent to cheat and de fraud Henry Baldwin. At the request of the prisoner, after the jury were sworn, the trial of this man was put off till Wednesday next, on the ground of not having had his witnesses ready. James Soper, aged 31, was capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Mary Gigues, on the 18th day of July last, 60 printed books, of the value of 9/., the property of James Hollis and Henry Yarwood. James Hollis, No. 14, Lower Union Place, Maiden-Lane, Battle Bridge, a bookseller, in partnership with Mr. Yarwood.—On the 18th July had occasion to go to the tap-room of the Sunderland Arms public-house, where witness saw the prisoner, who was a solicitor for orders of peri odical publications. Witness asked permission- of the landlady's daughter to be allowed to leave his goods all night, and that he would call for them in the morning. The partner was in the adjoining room at the time in company with prisoner. Left the 60 books in question, value 91. Witness's partner called for the books on the following morning, but was told they were gone. Witnes s had' given no authority to any person to call for them except to his partner. Henry Yarwood is not now, but was in partnership with last witness at the time the books were lost. Was in company with the prisoner when last witness left the books, but did not see them delivered to the landlady's daughter. Applied for the books next day, but was told they were gone. Gave no person any authority to receive them. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS--Has two ehristian names, viz. Henry William. By the BENCH.—Has always gone ,by and signed the name of Henry Yard. Was 32 years of age. Had never made use of the name William, but knew he had that name from the registry. Mr. PHILLIPS took the objection of misnomer in the indictment. Mr. Justice GASELEE considered the only ques tion to be, whether the Court would stop the pro secution here, and send the prosecutors before the Grand Jury again, or whether the prosecution ought to go on. Mr. PHILLAPS said, at least, on an average, two indictments during a Session failed on this point, and he thought it highly important the point should be settled. The COURT overruled the objection; it thought the name by which a prosecutor generally went or was known, was sufficient to sustain his prosecu- Elizabeth Cook, lived at the Sunderland Arms, Saskville-street, parish of St. James. Liar mother kept the house. Knew the prosecutor; recollected Hollis, in July, leaving the two parcels of books; they were left to be called for. Did not think the time at which they were to be called for was men tioned. It was between seven and eight in the evening. Between eight and nine on the same evening a person called for them. 'fas not quite certain who called for them. Was busy at the time, and could not say whether it was the prisoner or not. Had seen the person before who called for the books. Thought she had seen the prisoner before. Did not look at all to the person who called for the books.— lie said " I was to call for those books." Told him to take them, which he did. He took them to a chandler's shop close by. He came back for a pint of porter ; but I did not take sufficient notice of him then to know him again. Catherine Fawcett, a servant at the Sunderland Arms; saw the prisoner in the morning in question at the house with the prosecutors; saw him at the house again in the afternoon; saw him again in the evening; saw nobody with him in the afternoon; saw litim in the evening take some books on his back and go out with them. Last witness was in the bar at the time, he went away laughing with another man ; saw him call also for the pint of porter. Catherine Alcock, lived at the Man in the Moon public-house in July last; saw the prisoner there in July; he came to the bar and had a glass of liquor, and requested to leave two parcels; asked him if It would be long that he meant to leave them ? He said no, about ten minutes; he left them and went away with another man, but did not call again • the parcels cont a i ne d b oo k; ; Hollis afterwards Called for them and got them. Hollis recalled.—Received about thirty books of the sixty he had left at the Sunderland Arms, from the last witness; knew them by the make; had no doubt of their being a portion of the books left at, the Sunderland Arms. Nine pounds was the amount for which witness considered he could have sold them ; about 44 10s. was the cost price. Mr. PHILLIPS now submitted that Miss Cook had a special property in the books, that she parted with them of her own accord, and that therefore the in dictment, in its present shape, could not be sus tained. The prisoner might be indicted for having obtained the goods under false pretences. The JUDGE said, the Jury might consider the point. The prisoner declared he had never had the books in his possession. He called several witnesses who had known him almost from his infancy, who gave him a good character for sobriety and honesty. Mr. Justice GASELEE left the case to the Jury. The only point he considered deserved their consi deration was the value of the property, as it did not appear to him there could be a doubt of the prisoner being the person who got and took away the books. The prosecutor had said he felt it necessary to charge cent. per cent. on the new books he sold, because of their very soon suffering deterioration when left on hand, and therefore it would be for the Jury to say, whether they'thought the books taken were or were not of the value of W. _ _ Verdict—" Guilty of stealing in a dwelling-house goods under the value of N." CUTTING AND MAIMING. James Jones, aged 71, stood indicted capitally for prosecu tion. tio maliciously cutting Margaret Merritt, with intent to murder or to do her some grievous bodily harm. Anl." B h u o louicx statedt lived the V case e th Margaret fortie Mer ritt, though unmarried, for about 25 years. On the 27th May last, he had attacked her in the most Te prisoner had fe rocious manner with a poker, and which, in all pro bability, would keep, as it had hitherto rendered, her blind for life. The Learned Counsel supposed the point of insanity would be raised, particularly as the prisoner had been in a mad-house during the year preceding; the Jury would deal with this as fit, but the overseers of Shore proper to institute this prosecution. Margaret Merritt h a d li ve d with the pri s o ner f or Shore ditch they itc i should parish think ha thought twenty-four years as his wife. 'Witness is blind. On the 27th of May last, witness and prisoner had dinner very comfortably together, but afterwards she did riot feel well ; snid she would lay down awhile, am! if he liked, she would make out the bed for him also. He said he was going to take a walk. Left him sitting at the fire. Witness soon after wards fell asleep and forgot herself for awhile.— Heard a noise at the fire, and raising herself up, and looking towards the fire saw the prisoner coming towards her with the poker which he immediately struck her with across the eyes, and she had never since been able to see. She put up ner hand to her fare, and received another blow over the fingers. Re ceived other blows,but could not say bow many. The prisoner then went away. Witness called out Murder !" two or three times, and cried. The landlady . afterwards came to her. She heard that a little girl had come into the room first. Had had no quarrel with the prisoner. They had been living ver y comfortably. Prisoner had been ill in his head for some time before, and was confined in a mad house for some time about Christmas. Supposed the prisoner was not well used in the mad-house, therefore witness got him out under an order of the Chnr4Wardens.
