Crown and Anchor, May 25, 1831. ' LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1831. The celebration of the triumph of the Re formers at Northampton, full particulars of Which will be found in another column, will be Perused with interest by our readers. The speeches in particular of Lord ALTHORP and that promising young gentleman, Mr. WENT-. WORTH FITZWILLIAM, are deserving of every attention. The latter speaker accurately defined the nature of the contest at Northampton, when 1 he asserted that it was " a triumph of free and independent yeomen over Tory despotism, and a Tory aristocracy,—it was a triumph of liberality over narrow-mindedness,—it was a triumph of freedom over usurpation,—it was a triumph of good sense and good feeling over bigotry and super -Btition." Lord ALTHORP also spoke in the most encouraging and satisfactory manner. Alluding to the moderate Reformers, this most manly and straight-forward Statesman, in whose integrity the whole empire feels the most unbounded con fidence, shrewdly said, some might think that the Ministerial measure " did not go far enough, and others might think it went too far. With regard to the latter,—to those who said that the measure went too far,—they were persons who lo`their hearts did not wish for any Reform at al l -- -(Cheers)—they were persons who wished t ° stave off the evil day as they thought it, when corruption would be at an end, and when the con ltitutional power of the House of Commons should en f orce th ose meas ures in which they be held the destruction of a system which they were too much interested in to part with easily."— more faithful or pertinent sketch than this, of th e moderate Reformers, we never yet met with, his true to the life. His Lordship pro ceeded to comment on the character of the Itefor m Bill, and added, that Ministers had `` been as moderate as possible in the change t he, had effected, and it was perhaps, in con sequence of the moderation and care they had eXercised, that some anomalies remained which ought to have been removed. But they had been of opinion that the less change they made the better, provided only that this great end, a free and fair representation of the people, was obtained. Upon one thing," continued the Noble Lord, " vpu may depend. You may defend upon it that the main principles of this m easure are what we are determined to stand by. ( I .oud c h eer ing.) We brought it forward after d ue consideration : after due consideration do I sa y' ? After the consideration of our whole lives, for tile pri nc ipl es o f this measure are the principles 11 " we have entertained, which we have s upported, w hi c h we have contended for, and which we have defended, during the whole of our five s." This d ec l ara ti o n puts an end at once to all the calu mn i es o f t h e A nt i-R e f or mers and their wo rthy alli es th e a d voca t es o f moderate change. 11 e nceforti m neither the one nor the other will ha ve a le g to stand on. They had better, there quietly give in their adhesion to that mo il Magna Charta, time Reform 13ill. It Is impossible to read of the proceedings of A ustria t owar d s G enera l D WERNICKI an d hi s bra ve, but un f or t una t e com p an i ons , w ith ou t th e str ongest f ee li ngs o f di sgust . Th e M essager de Chambres reports, on what it considers corn lt eten• authority, that the Austrian Government a a i r it in contemplation to detain DWERNICKI 11 ` 11 iS troops prisoners, but to give them the P ri vilece of exchanging for an_equal number of Russians. If this be really the case, it is a' glaring violation of the neutrality so loudly pro fessed by the IVIETTEnNtux Cabinet, and should form the substance of remonstrance by the great European Powers. It is high time indeed, that England and France should interfere on behalf of the oppressed Poles, who have been more than once, unless history be all a fiction, the saviours of Christendom when threatened by the -all-powerful Saracens. If Austria think it expedient to throw off' the mask of neutrality, and Prussia betray an evident disposition to throw the weight of its influence into the scale of the R ussians, why should France and Eng land remain passive spectators of such jug glery? The cause of Poland is the cause of freedom throughout Europe ; indeed NICHOLAS himself has made it so by identifying it with what he calls the " revolutionary principles" which now infect the majority of civilized States ; if despotism, then, wins the day in Poland, its effects will not be confined to that country alone, they will be felt elsewhere. Let the CZAR once have Poland again within his grasp, and the stay of his Ambassador will not be long in Paris. His IMPERIAL MA JESTY will make a point of withdrawing him at the very earliest opportunity, for Louts PHILLIPPE is a usurper on the same principle that the Poles are rebels. This must of neces sity be the CZAR'S view of the case. We hope then that both France and England will interfere in behalf of the Poles, and not dis grace their high national character in the eyes of posterity, by tamely looking on while a whole nation is butchered for its struggles in the cause of rational freedom. In another part of The Sun will be found some heart-rending details respecting the distress of the peasantry in Ireland. These details are from the best authority. We hope Ministers will not think them beneath their attention. Surely something should be done, and that promptly, for Ireland. The following are extracts from Brussels Pa pers received this morning : ANTWERP, MAY 20.—Notwithstanding the tranquil lity which prevails in the city some emigrations have taken place. The works of the trench have been carried -to within 100 metres of the Lunette. General Chasse yesterday sent a flag of truce into the city to announce, that unless the works were stopped, he should be obliged to bombard, because the terms of the agreement were violated. Orders were immediately given to call in the workmen. The Regent's order of the day was read to the troops to put them in mind of the terms of the agreement. There is every reason to hope that things will go no farther. The works about the citadel were yesterday suspended for a moment, but it is affirmed that they were resumed very late in the evening. Four or five mortars, with their carriages, were yester day sent out of the Malines gate. BRUSSELS, MAY 21.—The secret Committee of the Congress sat yesterday from one o'clock till half-past five : 170 Members were present. Nothing of what passed has transpired. Lord Ponsonby is not expected in Brussels till late to day or to-morrow. A Cabinet messsenger arrived yesterday afternoon at six o'clock from London, with despatches for Mr. Aber cromby. Immediately after his arrival all the English le gation was set to work to draw up despatches to be sent to London, and the messenger received orders to wait. We are ignorant of the contents of the despatches brought to Mr. Abercromby, but the delay in the return of Lord Ponsonby to Brussels is attributed to the arrival of M. Van Zuyler Van Nyevelt at London. He is said to have full powers from the King of Holland, and Lord Ponsonby has doubtless been desirous of knowing what M. Van Zuyler brought. The messenger above mentioned is Mr. Littlewood ; he says he gave orders at Dover for the packet which is to bring Lord Ponsonby. ANTWERP, MAY 20.—The Dutch evacuated the Lu nette of St. Laurent on the 18th, but they have not de stroyed the works they had raised there. Our batteries continue to rise as if by enchantment : the works were much advanced last night. All will be finished on the 20th, and the guns for rocket firing may be placed on the bat teries. HAMBURG, MAY 18.—In the night of the 11th of this month, a report was circulated in the town of Orlon, that the garrison of Luxemburg had marched out in order to disarm the Civic Guard. It was a false alarm, how ever every body was on foot in a few moments. The Belgian troops retired to the heights round the town, while the public functionaries hastily locked up their most valuable effects and their papers. But the sccuts who were sent towards Luxemburg, having brought word that no Prussian troops were to be seen, every body re tnrned to his post. The Emancipator says, " The Duke of Saxe Weimar has just given notice that he was going to carry into effect the military occupation of the Communes within four leagues of Luxemburg. According to pretended conventions of the Confederation, :many communes, alarmed at their threats, and wishing to avoid the execution of them, send to Luxemburg, to offer their submission. The inhabitants obey the summons they have received to surrender what arms they may have in their possession ; they carry them in themselves, and give unequivocal proofs of their despondency." The Emancipator is mistaken—nothing of the kind has been announced ; and if the Civic Guards for four leagues were to be disarmed, the measure, of which the public knows nothing, would not be contrary to treaties, and might, perhaps, be called for by the ordinary rules, for the preservation of all fortresses. It is true, that the in habitants of many villages within a circle of several leagues from Luxemburg have voluntarily brought to their Burgomasters and the Officers of the Civic Guard the muskets which they had lately received. These inha bitants do not in this obey any summons ; they look on these arms as a source of misfortune to themselves and their villages, they wish to leave to the agents of the revolution the care of defending interests of which they understand nothing. They wish to see an end without their taking any part of a contest from which they have hitherto derived only distress, exorbitant taxes, inendi nay, and all kinds of disorders. These inhabitants are not discouraged, but f at i gue d , harrassed under the most heavy arbitrary yoke; th e d ay w h en order shall return will be a festival, an l l they evidently call for it, by refus ing to second the chiefs of the insurrection in their ideas of defending the territory against the Confederation. At a late hour this afternoon we received the Rotterdam to the 24th instant c contain s the following Protocol of the Congress , which ss of London , as respects the disputes between Belgium and Holland : RorrErtnAm, MAY 23.—The following i s t h e 22d protocol of the Congress of London :—The Pleniten. trades of the five grea t Powers have met to deli berate n the resolutions which , acceleratin g the accomplishment on the objects of the pro tocols of the 20th and 27th Janua ry , 1831, may best contrib ute to effect the desirable state of peace between Belgium and Holland, which is the object of the care of the five Co urts, and of their constant exer dons. Being unable to find the principal haes of such a desirable rebult, otherwise than in the principles which are to regulate the separation between Belgium and Hol land, principles laid down in the protocol of 27th January, 1831, to which his Majesty the King of the Nether lands has entirely acceded, the Plenipotentiaries have agreed that their Commissioner in Bt ussels .hall be instructed to Communicate the said bases without delay to the Belgian Government, to make it sensible of the advantages which, they hold out to Belgium, and to advise the acceptance of them. It is farther resolved by the Plenipotentiaries that their Commissioner shall call the attention of the Belgic Go vernment to then essential difference between the above principles relative to the arrangements concerning the ter ritory, which are c o nsidered as fundamental and int vocable, and these which concern the division of the debt and the trade with the Dutch colonies. That with respect to the debt, Lord Ponsonby shall observe to the Belgian Government, that as a part of the debt of the king dom of the Netherlands was supported by the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, a just share of this burden must still be borne by the Grand Duchy, which will so far lessen the burden of Belgium; lastly, that if the Belgian iorernment assents to the above-mentioned principles, the consequences of this assent must be— The speedy withdrawing of all the Belgian troops that may be in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. The entire cessation of all interference on the part of the Belgic Government in the affairs of that country; and The immediate sending to the Hague of Commissioners for determining the boundaries, and of Commissioners for making the pecuniary arrangements. The experience of the preceding negociations commenced at Brussels has nevertheless obliged the Plenipotentiaries to take into consideration the contingency, in case the basis fixed for the separation between Belgium and Hol land should be rejected by the Belgic Government, or if that Government should persevere in its preceding eager ness for war and conquest. To provide against such contingencies, the Plenipoten tiaries have resolved formally to declare to the Belgic Go vernment :- 1. That the dispositions called fundamental, and which are included in the first nine articles of the said basis are, in the eyes of the Five Powers, irrevocable, according to the protocols of 20th of January and 19th of February, 1831. 2 That according to section 2 of the protocol of the 19th of February, the independence of Belgium shall not be recognised by the Powers except upon the conditions and within the limits which result from the protocol of the 20th of January. 3. That if the representations which Lord Ponsonby, by the present protocol is instructed to make should not be acceded to, all relations between the Five Powers and the Belgian Government shall immediately cease ; that Lord Ponsonby shall instantly leave Brussels, and that the Bel gian Ambassador, who is at Paris, shall be requested to depart without delay. 4. That in case of the rejection of the above-mentioned proposals, the Powers injured in their possessions by the Belgian Government should be obliged to take the ne cessary measures to cause their legal authority to be re spected, or to restore it in all countries belonging to them which are out of the Belgian territory which is declared neutral ; the Five Powers, according to the 6th section of the protocol of the 19th of February, can do no other than respect the right of the Power by which the measures shall be taken. 5. That, in the same case, all the attempts of the Bel gian Government, or of its troops against the territory, which by the protocol of the 20th of January is declared to be Dutch, and every violation of the armistice as regulated by the protocol of 17th November, 1830, and the letter of the Provisional Government of Belgium, dated 21st of November of the same year, which is an nexed to the Protocol, No. IX., shall be considered as acts of hostility against the Five Powers, and as such be followed by all those measures which they may, after com mon deliberation, consider as the best calculated to maintain the integrity of the States threatened, and to at tain the objects which are laid down in the fundamental protocol of the 20th January, 1831.

In this case the testator was possessed of large property in Liverpool, which, by his will, be gave to trustees for the benefit of his natural daughter in fee ; but in the event of her dying before attaining the age of 21, the testator gave the property to a person of the name of Elizabeth Jopling, not using in that gift words of inheritance, and the question for the decision of the Court was, whether, under such circumstances, Elizabeth Jopling took an estate for life only, or an estate in fee. The Corner, after hearing Counsel at considerable length on both sides, considered itself bound to declare, looking at the whole will, that the testator had given Elizabeth Jop ling an estate in fee. It was clear the gift to Elizabeth Jopling was a substitution of her in the place of the natu ral daughter of the testator, to whom he had given an es tate in fee, and although no words of inheritance had been used in the gift to Elizabeth Jopling, there could not be the slightest doubt that the manifest inheritance of the testator was such as the Court had stated.

THE KING'S BIRTH-DAY.—The illumina tions to celebrate the natal day of our beloved Mort Allen, on Saturday next, are expected to be upon a very exten siv.t scale. Already several persons east of Temple-bar have began to make preparations for the occasion, and at the West end the display will, it is said, be very general, as all the principal artists are engaged in preparing devices. It is settled that Hungary is to be the country to which CHARLES X. and his family retire on leaving Helyrood House. The Duchess D'ANGOULEME posses in that country estates valued at 600,000 francs a year, which were left to her by her aunt. Yesterday a clergyman gave a valuable horse and chaise into the care of the porter at the Diorama, Regent's Park, and shortly afterwards a man of respectabl e appearance, accompanied by a female, got into the chaise, and drove away with it to the no small surprise of the Reverend Gentleman, who, on receiving information of his loss, applied at Bow-street office for assistance to recover the property. STEVENS, one of the principal officers, having received a description of the parties, is in pursuit of them. Our correspondent in Cocker:pout!) writes—. " Yen will, no doubt, have rejoiced at the great victory obtained over the house of LOWTHER in this county. The new reforming candidate was brought in without any ex pense. Many of the freeholders walked thirty and forty miles, and paid their own expanses, and would not put their friend to one penny expense. There was three times more money subscribed than was needed. lam happy also to say, that our new Member is opposed to all mono polies, and a warm friend to civil and religious liberty at home and abroad."— World. THE THEATRES.—At the Theatre Royal Drury-lane we have Timour the Tartar, awl the horses. At the Theatre Royal Covent-garden we have The Life and Death of Buonaparte as a mere spectacle, accom panied by every kind of catch-shilling gew-gaw, and some horses ; while on the other band we find at Sadler's Wells Romeo and Juliet, and Katherine and Putruchio ; at the Surrey Theatre Richard the Third, several other of SHAKSPEARE'S plays, and CUMBERLAND'S Jew, with ELLISTON—and, finally, at the New City Theatre, in Milton-sheet, (dint Grub), The Merchant of Venice; Shploch, Mr. KEAN ! This is hands across and change places with a vengeance. It is also down the middle for Covent-garden and Drury-lane—but, query, up again? We recommend the majors to set each to their opposite pat tners, take hands, and see if they cannot promenade back into their places.—.Athenceum. EXECUTIONS.—The following is an extract from Sir Wac. MEREDITH'S admirable speech, May 13, 1777 :—" The Shoplifting Act was to prevent bankers, and silversmiths', and other shops, where there are com monly goods of great value, from being robbed ; but it goes so fir as to make it death to lift any thing offa counter with intent to steal. Under this Act, one MARY JONES was executed, whose ease I shall just mention ; it was at the time when press warrants were issued, on the alarm -about Falkland Islands. The woman's hush Ind was pressed, their goods seizA fur some debt of his, and she, with two small children, turned into the streets a-begging. 'Tis a circumstance not to be forgotten, that she was very young, (under 19), and most remarkably handsome. She went to a linen•draper's shop, took some coarse linen off the counter, and slipped it under her cloak ; the shopman saw 1-er, and she I,id it down ; for this she Was hanged. Her def-nee was (I have the trial in my pocket), that she had lived in credit and wanted for nothing, till a press gang came and stole her husband from her; but since then, she had no bed to lie on ; nothing to give her chil dren to eat ; and they were almost .naked ; and perhaps shoplifting ht have d o n e somet hi ng wrong , f or s h e h a rdly knew what s h e did . ' T he parish officers testified the truth of this story ; b ut i t seems there had been a great deal of about Ludgate; an example was thought ne cessary ; and thin woman was hanged for the comfort and satisfaction of some shopkeepers in Ludgate-street. When brought to receive sentence, she behaved in such a frantic maaner, as proved her mind to be in a distracted and de • sponding state ; and the child was sucking at her breast when she set out for Tyburn (gallows).'" VICE- CHANCELL OR' S COURT. His ;Honour the VIOE-CHANCELLOR proceeded with pleas, demurrers, exceptions, and further directions, none of which, up to the period of our reporter's leaving, pos sessed the slightest public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. - V. BENNFTT AND BROUGHTON. The Common Serjeant LAW applied for a rule to chew cause why a mandamus should not issue to Messrs. Ben net and Broughton, magistrates of Lambeth-street, direct ing them to sign a pass for the removal of a poor woman to Ireland. It appeared that the woman had become chargeable to the parish, but she had an illegitimate child born in the parish which gave it a settlement, and the ma gistrates found some difficulty, as they thought they could make no order as to the child, and it being under seven years of age, they could not separate it from the mother. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said the general practice was to remove both, specifying in the pass that the child was only removed for nurture. 11r. LAW said it was so in all places, except the parish in question, and they wanted to get the sanction of the Court to that general practice.—The Court granted the rule. NEWLAND V. CLIFF. Mr. CAMPBELL obtained a rule to shew cause why the writ of Teri facias in this case should not be quashed, on the ground that the return was made by one Jarvis Thomas, as bailiff of the liberty of Gower, when in fact the Duke of Beaufort held that dignity. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. THE KING V. WAKLEY AND OTHERS. The case, in opposition to the rule which was obtained last Term by the College of Surgeons against Mr. Waleley, Mr. King, and two others, for a disturbance in the theatre of their Institution, having been concluded last night, the reply was this morning opened by The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who was very anxious to put the Court in possession of the real facts of the case— his Learned Friends last night had kept out of view some very important facts, one of which was of great conse quence, viz. the calling of the meeting by Mr. Wak'ey in the Lancet, and another fact of some importance was the publication of a report of the disturbance which had also appeared in the Lancet. Mr. Campbell had stated that he knew from the fact of his Majesty having been so great an ornament to the navy, he never would have given an order to exclude such a respectable portion of it as the surgeons were, from his levees; but his Learned Friend seemed to forget, that any order to exclude any person or body from a Royal levee, must proceed from the Sovereign himself. The Learned Attorney-General then proceeded to read portions of the Lancet, which applied to th e c ase in question, and commented very strongly upon an arti c le published a week previous to the disturbance, callin g upon the profession to resist the innovation of a " desperate, dark-minded oligarchy," and to dis cuss the necessity of an address to his Majesty on the exclusion of the naval surgeons from the Lev ee . The article alleged that the theatre of the Co:lege of Surgeons was the property of the members in general, and stated that the Editor of the Lancet would, if well, be there to discuss the subject in question, adding, that although the President and Council had the power to make bye-laws, they had never made any that would preclude the profession from discussing any thing inmiciignhats as s ta w t e x l v l hi s c a h y ll t l h r ,:r N e Vt ‘ t v 's e le r y e which affected their interests.

THE linatvxsT.—During these last few days accounts have been received from all parts of the colony of the most gratifying nature respecting the crops.

These notes are identical with those which have been so highly approved io the English translation of this work published in the National Library ; and cannot be obtained in any other edition in the French language. the Court felt itself called upon to make the rule absolute against two of the defendants, Mr. Thomas Wakley and Mr. Thomas King, Ind to discharge it against the other two, Mr. Walker and Mr. M‘Derniot. It appeared that Mr. *Dermot was not present at the first meeting on the 14th of May, and Mr. Walker did not arrive till very late. COURT OF CO_TIMON PLEAS. Air. Justice PARK sat at Nisi Prius this morning, in the Committee-room of the House of Commons, No. 12. BRUCE V. CILAMPNEYS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a cheese monger, against Sir Thomas Champneys, B.rt., of Clarges-street, Piccadilly, to recover the sum of 211. 10s. for cheesemongery supplied the family of the defendant. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE, in stating the case, read several letters written by the defendant and addressed to the plaintiff, wherein he designated him as a scoundrel for having arrested him for such a paltry sum of 211. 10s., and admitting the amount to be correct. The letters were couched in a strain of such singularity that the reading of them excited much merriment. The Counsel for the defendant declined (after the letters had been read, and the writing having been proved to be that of the defendant's) proceeding in the case, and Mr. Justice PARK directed the Jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed with costs. V. CHUBB. This case, which had been fixed to come on this day, wherein Mr. John St. John Long is the plaintiff, and William Percival Chubb, the bookseller, in liolywell street, Strand, the defendant, for a libel, was again put off till the next sittings, which take place on Friday next, should the parties agree, when Mr. Justice Alderson will try the cave, Mr. Justice Park having declined to take it. Mr. Long was in Court during the morning and ex cited much notice, but departed on hearing the observation of the Learned Judge. SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) William Hawkins and John Edwards were indicted for having base coin in their possession for the purpose of circulating it. It appeared that on the 6th of April the prisoner Ed wards went to the shop of Mr. Hornblow, a tobacconist, at Upper-marsh, Lambeth, and asked for half an ounce of tobacco, in payment for which he tendered a bid shilling. The shilling was refused and cut by the shopwoman, and then given to the prisoner, who left the shop. A constable was sent after him, and he was found in the New-cut in company with Hawkins : they were both taken into cus tody. On searching Edwards, who tendered the shilling at Mr. Hornblow's, nothing whatever was found, but on Hawkins, secreted in the lining of his coat, was found a purse containing nine counterfeit shillings. The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Cornelius Neale pleaded guilty to a similar indictment ; but this being what was termed the " double offence," that is having endeavoured on two occasions to pass bad money, he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. William Jones was convicted of stealing seventeen stockings, the property of Sarah Eastaff It appeared that five years ago be had been convicted of felony, and sentenced to six months' hard labour. The CHAIRMAN said he was inclined to believe that, as it was so long since the prisoner had been at the bar be fore, be bad during that time given up his old practices, and in hopes that he would never appear here again the Court would only sentence him to six months' hard lal.9our.

This morning being appointed for carrying into effect the awful sentence of the law, the execution of the two ring pve t .,it h .da e ,e;:lllle, A ciea ti ni r ,: i eli l ,letfet,srimo alarmingnoers,. victims to crime, John Broach and William Widgett, space re ng a immediate in the extent), r, :t f) v obts i t ne il r i o teej e atro : lii fe, O n e s Bins in ac a aa i lsniffeti aa)e,(,aiyi dwelling-houses(rly o i ti, and t e h rti t i: e r e :t d ,o c ewt l a e i oi clearest f r : the of the houses con • tiguous, were much thronged Icy the populace, to witness the 'ignominious death of the two miserable beings. The circumstances that led to the 'detection of the cul prit Broach, and ultimately to his untimely end, are rather singular, and deserving of detail. The unfortunate man, till within these last three years, filled a responsible situation in the house of Mr. Bywater, in Grosvenor street, the upholder to the Nobility, where by his apparent integrity he was frequently placed in care of the houses and property of people of the first; rank during their absence from home. About that time he commenced business fur himself, under every prospect of success in Bryan,ton-street, Nlarylebone ; here he was employed by Captain Paterson. of No. 41, Cadogan-place, with whom he bad sailed to India in a confidential situation, to take charge of his house and property, during his visit to one of the watering places. Being a married man, Broach employed a man and his wife to sleep on the premises, and lie was in the habit of going backwards and forwards to look after the Captain's property. In November last, Captain Paterson and family returned to town, when they discovered that the boudoirs and other depositories had been broken open, and jew.llery, bed and table linen, books, &c. of great value, had been carried away by some unknown band. The Captain consulted Broach upon the circumstance of the • robbery, who affected to be quite astounded, awl recom mended information immediately to be given to the police, and he himself undertook the business with all the apparent sincerity and determination imaginable. He frequently presented himself at the police-office in Queen-square, and in harsh terms reprehended Woodberry, one of the officers of that establishment, for not being more expert in bring ing the robbers to justice. Weeks elapsed and no trace of the plunderers being had, the Captain relinquished all hopes of the discovery of either the thieves or any of his property. All this time the conduct of Broach was beyond suspicion, and the Captain was in daily intercourse with him on matters of business. On a subsequent day Mr. Paynton, the bookseller, in Russell -court, Drury ' lane, happened to call at the shop of Mr. Taylor, another bookseller in Holborn, when he accidentally cast his eye upon three volumes of " Gibbons' Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire ;" he looked at them, and immediately identified them to ba the same books he had some time bc'ore sold to Captain Paterson. Upon enquiry Mr. Taylor told him that the work hail been left with him for sale, or to complete by a young man named Broach, with whom he bad had frequent de ,lings previously. Mr. Paynton, singular to relate, happened to meet the Captain some days after, and named the discovery of the hobks to him, and that they had been left by Broach. Captain Paterson at the infor mation became paralyzed, still doubting the truth of the statement ; however to place it beyond a doubt, he instantly repaired, with Woodberry the officer, to Mr. Taylor's house, when the whole mystery was explained. Broach was instantly sought after, and was apprehended at his house in Bryanston-street. On searching the place the officer found upwards of fifty pawnbrokers' duplicates for plate, books, and jewellery, a part of which the Count Alphonso de Morel and Lord Amherst identified as their property, and bad been left in care of Broach. The latter Noble man went to India in 1823, at which time Broach was living with Mr. Bywater, and was placed in care of his Lordship's property. Upon his return to England in 1828, the plate-chest was found to have been violated, and plate and jewellery to the amount of 6001. were stolen, Many of the duplicates found at the prisoner's house were for part of the stolen property, some of which was produced at the police-office with the crests and initials of his Lordship obliterated carefully. It was subsequently ascertained, that whilst Broach had the care of the mansion of Lord St. Helens, property to the amount of 1,500/. had vanished, amongst which was a massive gold snuff-box set with diamonds, which had been presented to his Lordship b y the Empero r o f R uss i a ; however, this cage could not be established against him, therefore it was not gone into. It is known that he has been carrying on this alarming system of plunder for the last ten years, during which time the servants of the families whom he had robbed had been suspected and dis charged, and many have been known to be wretched out casts, being unable to procure character,. The culprit was tried and convicted upon two indictments of robbing Captain Paterson and the Count de Morel. The case of Widgett excited much commiseration, as it was well known, that the ill-fated man had been unfortu nate in all his undertakings through life, and had a wife and large family dependent upon him for support. A few minutes before eight o'clock, the two Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs proceeded to the press-room, when shortly after Widgett was led into their presence from the con demned cells, by Slack, one of the Sheriffs' yeomen. He wept bitterly, and seemed to be labouring under the most poignant mental agony. The Sheriffs paid the greatest attention to the unhappy man during the trying ordeal of pinioning, which he bore with apparent firmness, lie was then led to a seat, and upon being asked if he had any thing to communicate ? he replied convulsively, " None, Sir, I have nothing to say." Broach was next led in, attended by Mr. Baker, who had been unremitting in bit attentions to the miserable man. On approaching, he bowed respectfully to the Sheriffs, and shook hands with them, after which he sur rendered himsAl into the hands of the officers of justice, to be tied in a similar manner as his miserable partner in death. He handed a letter to Mr. Wontner, which we believe was for his wife, and the awful procession moved off towards the scaffold, the Chaplain reading a portion of the service for the burial of the dead,—the prison bell tolling at in tervals, which produced the most awful and thrilling effect. Widgett was led upon the gallows first, and wept aloud whilst the executioner was adjusting the rope. Broach next walked up the fatal steps, and stood by Widgett un moved, till the cap was drawn over bis face, when his whole frame trembled, arid his legs seemed to totter under him. Widgett turned round and shook him by the hand, and after a few short minutes being spent in prayer, Dr. Cotton gave the usual signal, and the unhappy men were launched into eternity, and seemed to die scarcely without a struggle. Widiett was forty years of age, and Broach twenty-nine. Upon Mr. Baker visiting Broach on Monday night, in the course of conversation, he made the following declaration : " SIR,--4 would most earnestly wish to restore the property I have stolen, but, alas ! I have it not in my power ; but I think it my duty to do all to prevent rer proach laying upon any one unmerited. I will endeavour. before I die, to recollect those events which have occurred where suoh results have been experienced, that I may ex culpate certain characters from undeserved reproach. This is all I can do, and I feel it an indispensable duty so to do." Since he has been in Newgate he has disclosed to Capt. Paterson where a great deal of his property was deposited, and also had given information that will ultimately lead to the recovery of a number of gold watches. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) Broach, at the last interview with his wife awl child, expressed a wish to have a lock of each of their hair, which was given him. These he carefully placed in a sheet of paper, and shortly before leaving the chapel placed them in his bosom, at the sane time earnestly praying that they might be buried with him. Having been told that his request should he complied with, he remarked, " Then I shall aid happy !" The contents of the letter handed to Wontner, possessed information relative to a part pf the property stolen from one of his prosecutors, and absolving the servants from all participation ini the robbery. In the course of the night he wrote five lett.rs to different per sons, principally to the same effect; and, in fact, since the warrant arrived for his execution, he endeavoured to make every restitution of the stolen property in his power. With respect to Widgett, every inquiry was made sub sequently to his condemnation, and his life traced from in fancy, in the hope that some discovery would be made to enitle him to the royal mercy. The reverse of the hoped for result was the consequence; and there is every reason to believe that the-society he formed in Rosemary- lane finally led to his fatal exit from the world. Since the unfortunate Broach - was down, we have beevt informed by the Governor of Newgate that the letter handed to him this morning contained a complete excul pation of the servants who had been suspected at the several houses which had been plundered by Broach himself. Th's circumstance pressed heavily upon his mind, as he had in some instances used his endeavours to implicate them in the crimes he bad himself committed. Yesterday the brother of this unfortunate man had an interview with the Lord Chancellor, and lie came to N,lw gate at midnight, expecting a respite, but was disappo , oted. This morning the brother was in a ttetallneee shell and vehicle, with a view to remove the' , l);ft , , ! diately it was cut down, for the purpose ,, re t su l sri_ 7 1 ^ ing some experiments tried endeavour to a , g ,.. irxe , „tie . et .. i,.
