iv** ~~'~; irfOiSA4:- A I - FRENCH PAPERS. : 3,4t 32LiT the Illessager des Chambres, Sept. 8.) FRox THE POLISH FRONTIERS, Auc. 21.--The moral effect which Paskewitsch sought to produce upon the rest of Europe by risking a movement dictated by despair, ap pear,' to have produced the effect which be expected. The consequence of the passage of the Vistula will be to leave DO other plank of safety for the Russian army, in case of defeat, than the armed assistance of Prussia, which might produce a general war in Europe. The timid see in these movements the death-blow to the holy cause of a nation which for six months past has excited the admiration of the world. The Austrian Observer has stated, on the authority of a private letter from Cracow of the 14th of August, that a number of students and sub•officers (part of those who commenced the revolution,) the heads of patriotic clubs, and the editors of revolutionary newspapers to the number of 120, had taken refuge on the road to Cracow. In order to show the falsehood 0r this news, we will remark 1. That all the sub-officers who began the revolu tion have for a long time been promoted to the rank of officers, and are disseminated in different parts of the army, with the exception of those who have paid the tribute of their lives to their country. 2. All the students at first formed a guard of honour, and they then entered the army as sub-officers or sub lieutenants. They distinguish themselves every where by their bravery and intrepidity. " 3. There never was but one patriotic club, and the spirit which animated it was almost the same as that felt by the Chambers and the whole nation. It was presided by the talented Lelewel, one of the five members of the National Government, and whose flight has not been mentioned. "4. All the journals of Warsaw are revolutionary journals, for the revolution has taken possession of every man's mind and heart. We will therefore ask, whence came the 120 patriots, whom it is said despair has driven towards Cracow? The letter from Cracow does not tell us whether the Warsaw papers have ceased to appear, now that the editors have all run away. And even should it be so, supposing that a few timid writers have thought themselves compromised, do they exercise an influence upon the fate of the whole nation? Such a flight, pro duced by fear, only serves to prove the little confidence with which the Russian proclamations have inspired the Poles."—Austsburg Gazette. the last post from Pizychuca CRACOW, Auc. 2 3 . By (Friday the 19th), a letter has been received from Warsaw, which contains the following words in a postscript : " I have this instant learned that General Skrzynecki has resumed the command in chief of the army."—Berlin Gazette. The Prussian Gazette announces officially that the cholera morbus has broken out at Cbarlottenburg, near Berlin. A boatman had died with symptoms of that disorder. Pan's, SETT. 7.—The accounts received from New foundland, dated the lot of August, announce a most un successful fi.hery on the whole east coast, so that nobody recollects so unproductive a season. The crews are filled with consternation. _ . (From the National. ) General Baudrand has failed in his mission. It is known that he was sent to London to ask the sanction of the Conference to the wish expressed by King Leopold that a part of our troops should remain in Belgium until the final settlement of the matters in dispute. This request has been positively rejected by the Conference. TiseEng lish Minister even insists on a prompt evacuation. We are assured that our Ministry, incapable of any energetic resolution in foreign politics, is going to with. draw even the 12,000 men whom Le. , pold desired to re tain for his security. Belgium will thus be abandoned to its own strength. (From the Constitutionnel ) It is certain that the French emigrants in Spain are making dispositions to organize themselves. It is in the province of Valencia and Murcia that they are assembling. They have all received orders to proceed thither. Even though they ate known for their royalist opinions, the Ferdinandists and the Spanish Carlists have by no means confidence in them, for this sole reason, that they are Frenchmen, and that all Frenchmen are either freemasons or jacobins. It is announced from Bayonne, under the date of the 2d of September, that a brisk firing of musketry was heard there, the cause or the results of which were unknown (From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) CIVITA VECCHIA, AUG. 24,--Travellers who quitted Naples on the 22d, and who are this moment arrived by the steam-boat, left that city and several provinces in a state of extreme agitation. They congratulate themselves on having withdrawn from a country in which it is impos sible that political changes of the greatest importance should soon take place. The recall of the proscribed, and the Constitution of 1820, are expressly demanded in pla cards which are posted up on the gates of the Palace in which the King resides. The police tears them down at all hours in the night, but some escape its vigilance, which excite a great fermentation among the Lazzaroni, who are always desirous of change. The accounts of these travel lers inform us, that the Government, being by no means sure of the Neapolitan troops, on which it hitherto believed that it could depend, is now making them remove from one town to another. Three regiments of the garrison of Na ples had just been changed, and the roads were still covered with troops, ordered to change their quarters in co quence of the dangers with which the police believes it nse- to be threatened. X 44 4 4 4 , -74 VI 444 COURT CIRCULAR. His Ma3Env gave an audience yesterday to Earl GREY. The QUEEN, accompanied by the Duke of SAXE MEi )IINGEN, the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR, and Princess Auc usra, went to Wormwood-Scrubs yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, to witness the review of six Regi ments of Cavalry, consisting of two Regiments of Life Guards, the Royal Horse Guards, the North Britons, the ith Dragoon Guards, and the 12th Lar.cers, and also two ;Brigades of Artillery, by Lord HILL, the Commander of the Forces, Her MAJEsTv was attended by the Earl of ALREMA RLE, and General MACDONELL, her principal Equerry. The Duke of CUMBERLAND was present at the review, which, it was understood, was in compliment to the Duke of SATE MEININGEN, the brother of the QUEEN, previous to his leaving England. After the review, her MAJESTY and party went to the residence of the Duke of SUSSEX, at the King's Palace at Kensington, where the Duchess and Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND, the Landgravine of llEssic HOMBURG, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, also arrived. The Duke entertained his Royal and Illustrious visiters with a very elegant dejeune. The Hanoverian Minister visited the Duchess of CAM- BRIDGE yesterday. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the Loan CHAN CELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOW NE, Earl GREY, Viscounts MELBOURNE. PALMERSTON, GODERICH, and ALTIIORI, the Earl of CARLISLE, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Lord HOLLAND, Lord Jolts Itussittr., the Duke of RICHMOND, and Mr. STANLEY. The Council lasted about two hours and a half. The Prussian Minister and Baron DE WEssarmenc, the Austrian Minister, on a special mission, had interviews yesterday afternoon with Viscount PALMERSTON at the Foreign-office. The Saxon Minister transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Grand dinner parties on the most splendid scale were given on Thursday, in honour of their MAJESTIES' Coro nation, by several of the Cabinet Ministers. Earl GREY had a numerous party of Members of the House of Peers. Viscount PALMERSTON entertained the whole of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, including the Russian, Netherlands, French, and Austrian Ministers on special missions. The dinner was given in his Lordship's official residence, attached to the Foreign-office. Viscount ALTHogr entertained the Governor of the Bank, the Chairmen of the Commissioners of the Customs, Stamps, and Taxes; the Deputy-Chairman of the Excise, I Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir JAMES MACDONALD, Colonel MABERLY, Mr. HYDE VILLIERs, Mr. TENNY4ON, Mr. CRELYEY, Lord NUGENT, Mr. FRANCIS BARING, J. PoNsoNny, Mr. BERNAL, Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr. LLICE, Mr. THOMPSON, Mr. SMITH, Ece. Mr. BowYER, of Pall-mall, contrived to exhibit, in addition to the illuminations with which his house was decorated, his splendid portraits of their MAJESTIES, in rich frames, with coronets, surrounded with a rich crimson curtain. These portraits attracted ver y great attention , were brilliantly lighted up with lamps from the inside, hidden from the spectators.— _ The manager of the Coburg theatre gave a grand supper to the individuals connected with his esta blishment on Thursday, in commemoration of the Corona tion. All, from the tragedy King down to the scene shifter, shared in the entertainments of the evening. The sheatrical paraphernalia were made available on the er Octhcae - sion ; and, thoug h not encored, the affair " was, nev less, well got up," and " received throughout with un. 'pounded applause," LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1831. If the Coronation► had no other use, it would a least have afforded a proof of the sincere attach 'Tient which the middle and lower ranks of the people of this metropolis bear to their SOVEREIGN. The demonstrations of affection towards our popular KING which were displayed on Thurs day spew the fondness of the multitude, as well for the Monarchy under which they were born, as for the Monarch under whom they live, and are an answer to the calumnies which are so constantly heaped on the people of England by the oligarchy, charging them with seditious views and a desire to overthrow the Government of King, Lords, and Commons. There is no such desire in the mass of this nation. The people love their KING, because they confide in his now known character of their friend ; they would respect a House of Commons if it were composed of representatives chosen by them selves for their worth's sake ; they would reve rence even a hereditary House of Lords, if they saw such a body fulfilling with a dignified regard to the public welfare its legislatorial duties. The Coronation ceremony, though shorn of its ancient splendours,ought to be more satisfactory in its result to WILLIAM IV, than if it had been attended with a fivefold greater display of that external magnificence which dazzles the multitude, but can never win their hearts. In the opinion of many there is far too much mummery in the ecclesiastical proceedings within the Abbey, and the more severely disposed of religious minds do not view with much approba tion the use of patinas, chalices, anointments, and other such matters, whose antiquity does not form much apology for their incongruity to the taste of the nineteenth century. But these gewgaws are, at all events, harmless ; and we are svell satisfied to compound for their being con tinued to be used, when the country is relieved of the enormous cost of a banquet and proces sion, not a whit more reasonable in themselves than palls and patinas. The Coronation is after all a mere form, which gives a religious sanction to duties and obligations previously existing be tween KING and people. It is like the mar riage ceremony when performed by the priest, after the contract has already been legally entered into before the Civil Magistrate, though the lat ter, as in France, is able to give effect to it with out ecclesiastical aid. It is a solemnization su perfluous in a constitutional point of view, but whose omission would have scandalized the reli gious feeling of a part of the nation. The Ministers therefore, upon the whole, have disposed of the affair with discretion, though it is by no means clear that the ceremony could not have been properly got through for less than 50,600/. Possibly the time may come, when the SOVE REIGN at his accession, may take, once for all, such oaths as may be required of him ; and by that time the extension of education may per haps teach the people to 6k t less value than of old upon gewgaw pageantry, and tI vain parade of Courts, and to be more careful of their own true interests, which they often can not see when their eyes are blinded by gazing at finery that profits them not. The Duchess of KENT'S conduct in regard :o the Coronation has not been yet satisfactorily _ . explained, though several reasons have been assigned in justification of it. We should be sorry to think that the view of the Reform Bill, which her Royal Highness is said to entertain— still less any soreness at the reduction of the splendour of the ceremony--->shoul4 have beep at the bottom of the determination of so sensible and respectable 3 person as the Duchess has hitherto shewn herself to be. Surely she must have perceived that the question of the assign ment of a particular position in the ceremony to the heiress presumptive (not the lteiress appa rent), was one dependent wholly upon precedent and etiquette, and that Ministers could not haw:. any possible motive of disrespect in wishing the ancient usage to be adhered to on the subject. • If, however, the delicate health of the Princess . VICTORIA was the cause of her absence, there is no more to be said. It is stated that the young Princess' IS weak in her legs, and it was feared she would have been unable to bear the fatigue of the ceremony. The Duchess may possibly therefore have had a reason for her hesitation, but the matter ought to be properly explained. In the House of Commons last night, the House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, and a grant of 40,0001. having been moved for in aid of the schools in Ireland, Mr. STANLEY announced that it was the intention of Government to withdraw the grant from the Kildare.street Society, and from all esta blishments of education which were either exclusively Protestant or exclusively Catholic, and to devote the sums thus saved, to the support of schools under the superintend ence of Protestants and Catholics conjointly. The motion, after a long discussion, was adopted, and will, we doubt not, give great satisfaction to the Irish people generally, though a few of the Ascendancy men will murmur. The Prussian State Gazette contains some news from Poland, which is, however, vague, and on which implicit reliance cannot be placed. Quoting from the Silesian Gazette, which is of course subject to Prussian authority, it says that Warsaw is to be summoned to surrender on three successive days, and that if it refuse, it will be bombarded with all the artillery of the army. It alludes also to the resignation Of SKRZYNECK 1, who is said 46 to have no command whatever"—an assertion which we feel strongly inclined to disbelieve—and adds, that General RUDIGER is still in the environs of Radom. The same Journal officially mentions the appearance of the cholera at Berlin, and at several parts of the provinces of Pomerania and Brandenburg, and directs precautions ac cordingly : DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

As several Papers are daily returned to The Sun Office, from the General Post-office, in consequence of the Subscribers' ad dresses not being correctly written by the Newsmen, it is parti cularly requested that Newsmen may in future print or write their own address on the covers, in order the more readily to faci litate the regular transmission of the Papers. It frequently hap pens that owing to this omission, Subscribers when changing their places of residence, have occasion to write to The Sun Office on the subject, forgetting that the names of their News Agents are far more likely to be known to themselves than at the Office. The error seems to originate in the idea that London Newspapers are supplied from the Office direct, in the same way as Provincial Papers. This is not the case. The distribution of the London Newspapers is a distinct business, employing upwards of a thou sand persons daily and weekly. POLAND. (From the Prussian State Gazette of Sept. 2.) The Silesian Gazette has the following article : " Kaurseir, AuG. 26.—The day before yesterday some thousand Russian troops, consisting of three regiments, with eight pieces of cannon, under the command of Gene ral Knorring, entered the town. Generals Schilling and Makow are with this corps. All passed in the most quiet manner. The Russians pay ready money for every thing they want, and are encamped about two werets from the town. 1 bey have made no alterations in the admi nistration, excepting some regulations of the municipal authorities, and changing the eagles. This corps will, however, be relieved by infantry, and go to Czenstochow. " General Dombrowski, who is at the head of the Provisional Government on this side the Vistula, .will reside here. Warsaw is to be summoned to surrender on three successive days ; if it refuse it will be then bombarded with all the artillery of the army, till it surrenders. It is known that a counter revolution bad broken out at Warsaw, the object of which was not attained. Many persons were killed in it, especially individuals who were inclined to surrender the city." POLISH FRONTIERS, AuG. 27.—1 n consequence of the interruption of the post, nothing certain has for a long time become known respecting the events in Warsaw. The following are the particulars that have been learnt at the Russian headquarters :—" The late Members of the national Government, Prince A. Czartowiski, Neim jowski, Morawski, Barzykowski, and Joachim Letewer, have resigned their offices to the Deputies of the Diet, and henceforth a President, with dictatorial authority, is to be the sole head of the Government. General Krukowiecki is appointed President. Chrzanowski is Military Gover nor of Warsaw and Sktzynecki is wholly put aside, and has no command whatever. The President, in addition to the powers hitherto combined with that dignity, has also the right-Ist. To appoint and to remove the Com mander-in-Chief of the army (for the present Dembinski commands the army). 2d. To appoint a deputy to per form his own functions, for which office Niemejowski is intended. 3d. With the assent of the Chambers to declare war and conclude peace. 4th. To appoint six Ministers, one of whom is to countersign all his orders. (At present it is not known who will be Ministers : among others Count Wielopolski is spoken of for Foreign Affairs.) The President has given orders to close the patriotic clubs; whoever shall henceforth take part in them shall be treated as a rebel. " An order of the Day of the 17th speaks of the enor mities committed in Warsaw in the preceding week; ac cording to a mode which has been often employed in all revolutions, it is alleged that these excesses were instigated by enemies of the country and adherents of the Russians, in order to show the cause of Poland in an odious and sus picious light, &c. It is, however, avowed that innocent persons, and individuals legally acquitted, were executed, women and children murdered, and, contrary to all laws of war and of nations, prisoners of war massacred. A commission, of which General Rycielski is President, is to discover and punish the guilty. Among the persons mur dered are the widow and daughter of General Haucke, who was killed in the night of the 29th November. The two Chambers of the Diet are to deliberate in one assembly until the deliverance of the capital. Whoever ventures to speak of capitulation shall be consi dered as a traitor to his country. It is said that there is already great scarcity in Warsaw ; so that provisions are three or four times as dear as usual." From the Russian head-quarters, which were on the 22d at Nadarzyn,we have the following account of that date:— " Nothing of importance has occurred in the army. On the 19th the Field-Marshal went out to reconnoitre, but it was evening before the troops arrived within half a German mile (two and a half English) of Warsaw, and no action took place. yesterday evening the greater pac t of the Polish army was drawn up outside of the e ntrenchments, but did not attempt anything. It is said that 10 or 12,000 men have been detached against General Rosen, who, however, has orders to avoid an en gagement with his main force, but to have his posts as near as possible to the enemy. An attempt has been made to burn the bridge of boats at Praga, but it failed ; it was ob served, aod the fire soon extinguished. General Rudiger is still in the environs of Radom. A Polish detachment is opposed to him ; and yesterday it was thought there was a cannonade in that direction, General Kreutz will arrive here on the 28th. By the addition of his corps and that of Rudiger, the army will be increased 25 or 30,000 in ftntry, and it is believed that their junction will be the ' signal for &hg termination of the contest." OFFICIAL. " In our ordinance of 23d of iast month, respecting the measures to be adopted on the appearance of tha cholera in Berlin, it is stated, that as soon as it is certain that the cholera has broken out in Berlin express notice of it shall be given to us. " According to a report, delivered on mature inquiry, by sit physicians, to which a medical commiss.on appointed by us has declared its assent, an individual died here of Asiatic cholera. Besides this several cases have occurred in the city since yesterday, which are indeed not yet proved to be the Asiatic cholera, but, according to die ac count;, that have been received, may be suspected to be that disorder. "Under these circum.skVe3 prudence requires that all the measures prescribed in the above ordim r nee be carried into effect. Giving this notice, we expect both from the au thorities whom it concerns, and from the other citizens, the more ready co-opeption in the execution of the above measures, by which alone it may perhaps he possible to pr event the propagation of the disorder. " VAN TIPPELSKIRCII. "Board of Health, " VAN BASSENVITZ. " Berlin, Sept. 1, 1831." OFFICIAL NOTICE. "As the Asiatic cholera has already appeared here and at several porta of the province of Pomerania and Brandenburg, on this t.ide of the Oder, a military cordon has been established, not only along the Elbe , f ro m the frontiers of the kingdom of Saxon) , to thut of Hanover, in which the places for passing are only 'Dorgan, Vv'itt.enberg, Roslau, and Sandau, but such a cordon is to be establisbW from the conflux of the Neisse with the Oder, through Guben to Kottbus, and thence along the Thure to the frontiers of the kingdom of Saxony.

BERLIN, San. 2.—His Majesty has been pleased to order that the army shall go into mourning for eight days for the late Field-Marshal Count Gneisenau. THE HAGUE, BE2T. 6.—A very numerous promotion in the army was published yesterday. We observe a great number of subalterns raised to the rank of Second Lieute nant. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Sweden and Norway was delivered, on the 24th ult., of a Prince, at I)rottringshelm, who is to be christened by the names of Nicholas Augustus, and to have the title of Duke of Dale carlia. The Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duchess Helen are to be sponsors. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 6.

Their contents are similar to those of the other Colonies, and the excitement already noticed seems evidently likely to lead to something se rious between the mother country and her Lee ward Island appendages. On the sth July a general meeting of the planters, merchants, and others, was held at the Court-house, to coasider the present alarming crisis of colonial affairs, JOHN Ross, Esq. in the chair, when the following strong resolution, among others, was passed : " That if in the present embarrassed state of the finances of the kingdom the means cannot be found for making compensation to the Colonies, and the country can no longer, from conscientious motives, suffer slavery to exist under its dominion—and it being apparent that Ministers are acting under the influence of a sect who think Colo nies of no value, and that the country would be better without them,—let it then, rather than persevere in measures which must end in our utter ruin, relieve us at once from our allegiance, and give us time to look for other protectors. That, driven as we are to the verge of desperation, by the gradual encroachments which, for many years past, have from time to time been made upon our insular institutions and domestic privileges, and at beholding a British Ministry acting under the influence of an interested and bigotted faction, to the prejudice and ruin of one of the fairest portions of the globe, it becomes us under these circumstances to recollect that we have duties which we owe to ourselves and our descendants, and that in the last resort we ought not to be found wanting to them. It is with feelings of the deepest regret that we advert to the possi bility of a separation from our present state, since the obli gations on its part and ours are reciprocal. For if pro tection to our persons and properties be withheld—if the Government of the country, instead of standing forward in our defence, and stretching forth its powerful arm to shield us from the attacks of a confederacy in the king dom, composed of our most inveterate enemies, who by shamelessly inventing and recklessly propagating the most atrocious calumnies against us all, are evidently bent upon accomplishing our utter ruin, even to exter mination—if Government, instead of performing this obligatory duty towards us, lends its aid to the party in question and acts in conjunction with it, if we are to be continually considered aliens and outcasts—nay, more treated as a guilty and proscribed race, with whom public faith may be lawfully broken, and to whose misfortunes no cornmisseration should be shown—if our local privileges are to be for ever disregarded, our constitutional rights trod den under foot,and the hard-earned produce of our estates fet• tered with rigorous, unequal, anal ruinous impositions—if no merit is to be conceded to us for what we have effected in improving the moral condition of our slaves, nor any limits assigned to the further sacrifices which may be required of us—in fine, if by the measures which have already been put in force, and others which Ministers have decla - red in Par liament it is their purpose to adopt, we are in conse quence to be more and more laid open to injustice and in jury, nay, even exposed to imminent danger of our lives, and without the smallest compensation being made us, then the tie by which we are bound to the mother country must be considered as virtually severed, and the duty of allegiance. at an end." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL 0 CK. Quebec Papers to the 13th August, Montreal to the 12th August, and Bombay to the 14th April, have been received at the North and Smith American Coffee-house. (From the Bombay Papers.) The following is the sentence of Captain Hawkins:— " You stand convicted of the capital crime of piracy, in breaking the laws passed for the abolishing the slave trade. The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported to the east coast of New South Wales for the term of seven years." DESTRUCTIVE FIRM.—A fire broke out near the pre mises of Babow Dutt, 45 houses were burned, and several pulled down. CALCUTTA MARKET. OPIUM.-The market in the early part of the week ad vanced to 1,760 It for Patna, and 1,745 11. per chest for Benares, but since the prices have been on the decline, and yesterday sales were effected at 1,750 for the former, and 1,725 per chest for the latter. EUROPEAN Goons.—Cotton piece goods in demand and improving generally, but without alteration in prices. (From the Quebec Papers.) We learn from Gaspe and Bay Chaleur, that the catch of cod-fish this season will there prove a full average, but on the north shore it is reported to have been less than usual ; the supplies of herring will also be small. The American vessels continue to frequent the Gulf in large numbers ; they thi s spring, for the first time, visited Magdalen Is land for the herring fishery, and by taking the fish in nets before they touched the shore, almost totally destroyed the fisheries of the inhabitants. The weather this week has been extremely variable, and we have had some heavy showers. MEDICAL REPORT OF TIIE QUEBEC EMIGRANT HOSPITAL. " All the beds in the hospital were occupied from the begin ning of May, a thing hitherto unusual; the prevalent diseases among the newly art ived emigrants bore the general cha racter of common continued fevers. The constant arrival of vessels from Europe with the emigrants, many of whom were obliged to be out in the streets, and in wharfs, was the means of causing some distressing•spectaeles, and many dangerously ill died in the streets." ST. JOHN'S.N.B. JUIN 27.—Our harbour now ex hibits the most naked appearance that we recollect witness ing for a long time, there being but one ship, one barque, two brigs, and four or five top-sail schooners in port. It is with much regret we hear that his Majesty's Coun cil have come to the conclusion, not to allow any warrants to issue for the several sums granted by the Legislature fo; the improvement of bye-reads and bridges throughout the province.

Vet so it is ; the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir ROBERT p.u. can only shoot with Tories; while the Duke of No►er'olr; and Mr. COKE would not for the world have a partridge or a pheap sant slain by any but a Whig barrel. A certain wealthy mercantile commoner's preserves were destined for those who were likely to procure him a peerage ; but somehow or other that shot has missed. At the Coronation an accident happened to Sir C. S. HUNTER. Ile made an effort to catch some of lily C,orona;:iop rietiaN which viere cast about amongst the company. The other Aldermen, however, were as a4xious as he was to get bold of the can, and in the experiment Sir CLaunlus, by some mischance, received a cut under the eye, and the blood streamed down. It happened, how ever, that Sir A. Coorme was near the worthy Baronet, and the blood was instantly stopped by Sir ASTLKY without the use of lint or plaister. It was rather remarkable that none of the Aldermen were fortunate enough to catch a medal. '•• 39 ' OLD BAILEY.—(THIS DAY.jalir •I itw , " 4 91 ' 011 OLD COURT. Patrick Mullin, a soldier, was convicted of brellit7 and entering the dwelling-house of Edwin Hill, and ate" ing a large quantity of kitchen utensils. • le a Charlotte Elizabeth Holding, aged 17, was in i, e for unlawfully and maliciously setting fire to the dwelling' house of George Titterton, in the parish of St. Jatitee% Clerkenwell, with intent to injure bins. A second en! lrf ,,i charged the prisoner with the crime with the intent. injure Edward Gregory. Eleanor Titterton, wife of George Titterton, of 57, deposed that the prisoner had been in her service O ee weeks. On Friday week, about five o'clock in the site r. noon, a fire broke out in the witness's bed room on t' e first floor. Witness and her children were in the house a t the time, and three work-people were at work in the she? at the back of the house. Witness discovered the fire bY going up stairs to get some brandy for the prisoner; the cause of wanting brandy for her was from hearing $ ne'se in the kitchen, and finding the prisoner as if in 2 64 , but whether she was really in a fit or not she could sat tell. When witness opened the bed-room door she saW $ quantity of smoke issuing from the bed; she did not see any blaze, but called the police in, who put the fire wit; the fire destroyed a part of the bed and bedding, a chair' and several articles of wearing app a r e l which ha d been left on the chair and 014 the bed ; a small part of tbe flooring was scorched ; witnes s w a s of o pi n ion tha t the fire was communicated first to the bed and bedstead, and also to the things on the chair. Witness bad na i heard any person go up into the bed-room before shelve°, up herself. She had been in the room about three o'ela e : that afternoon, and all was right at that time. Abn u ; two o'clock that afternoon there had been an alarm the . the kitchen chimney was on fire; the prisoner assisted wit ness's husband in putting that fire out. Witnes s had given the prisoner warning to quit on th e Wednesday night, and on the Thursday, in con's" quence of her going out, witness had some words with her' Witness knew of no motive that could induce the prisone r to destroy the house, if that was h er i n t en ti on , exce pt the it might have arisen from that quarrel. The prisoner never made use of any threats. Cross-examined by prisoner—Witness did not give th e prisoner leave to go out on Thursday evening. John Husain, Inspector of Police, stated that he 064 with a serjeant and a constable to the prosecutor's bouse.--- (At this stage, in consequence of a suggestion front the JOY' all the other witnesses were ordered out of Court. )—Witness arrived there shortly after six o'clock, and en going up stairs he found the hack bed-room on fire ; the flam e ' were ascending from the top of the bed : there w ere O d curtains to the bed : there wa s a c h a i r a b ou t a foot en a half distant from the bed ; the bottom of the chair VI burnt out, and the re w ere f ragmen t s o f wear i ng apPare, on it. A part of the floor was scorched, (which was out and produced in Court.) The scorching of the bole might have been occasioned by the burning apparel 'Olio; front the chair upon it. The clothes were burning up° the board when w it ness went i n . Wi tness pu t it an / by throwing water on the chair. That was the only da b ' mage done to the h ouse , except th a t th e d oor near wble the bed stood was scorched. Witness was of opinion, tbst if the clothes and the chair had been l e t alone, a nd th e fire not put out, it would have communicated to the house. The chair was close to a cupboard in which we re a quantity of candles, from 12 to 201bs. weight. W it; ness shortly aft erwar d s saw t h e pr i soner i n the bash kitchen apparently intoxicated and pretending to be in $ tit. Witness was of opinion it was only a pretended fit' John Footman, a police constable, was in the lo u !, with the last witness. Wh en h e saw t h e p r i sone r s ea" was stretched on the floor of the kitchen screaming 0 1 1 , Wit ness was left i n th e ki tc h en to ta k e care o f h e r. Sh e cried out for " George." Witness asked what she w ante d him for, and she made no reply. She afterwards er claimed, " What will my mistress say? Oh dear, %ch i : ; shall I do ?" Sh e aga i n ca ll e d f or " G eorge ," an d uP ° : , j ) asking her what s h e wan t e d o f hi m ? s h e sa id house is on fire, save the children." Witness afterwards took her to the station-house. Joseph Shackell, serjeant of police, was called to the prosecutor's house about five o'clock. When he went int o the bed-room it was full of smoke, and upon its partiani clearing away he saw fire on both sides a the bed al3 ,li° the middle of it, and also a fire in a chair standing at side of the fire-place. Witness could not judge w hette r those places had been set on fire by accident or de.ie The burning of the wood might be produced by the sc' cidental dropping of the burning clothes upon it from tb e chair. Mr. Baron BAYLEY told the Jury, that if it a ppeard rt that the scor c hi ng or b urn i ng o f t h e fl oor , w hi c h was a Ps e of the hour, bad only aris en f rom th e d ropp i ng of tb burning clothes upon it, the charge in the indictment s;i:1 not made out; the settin g fi re t o th e c l o th es or the was not the present charge, but it would be punishable I : another shape. If the Jury entertained the same oplr y as he did, he would stop the ca.!, otherwise he was re' to go on. The Jury on looking at the scorched wood e xpre od their opinion that the house had not been set fire to. His LORDSHIP then told tl,e Jury the indictment co w " not be supported. The Jury fl itted th ordered tie Jury acqurt are prisoner, but she was a._ ~;r be detained, and the prosecutor was ordered to indict Ps . for a misdemeanour. Susan Somerville, otherwise Susan Green, wag dieted for stealing a watch, value 91., and four seals, i' 311 , 3 ) 11., from the dwelling-house of Ann Carey, No. Catnaught-terrace. r The prosecutrix stated that th e p r i soner came into het service on the 21st of J u ly, an d l e ft on t h e 24 t h ; 34 ; e which she missed a gold wa t c h an d f our sea l s . They het,, afterwards found at a pa‘t nbroker's shop. She left 141. ness's service without any previous notice. The shoptnan of Mr. Turner, a pawnbroker, protlo c e j a gold watch and seals, which the prisoner pas'i ° , h e with him on t h e 26 t h o f J u l y . Wi tn . ss advanced sum of 3/. on it. The prosecutrix identified the watch and seals a' ' property. The prisoner was found Guilty, but recomtnende ti mercy.
