On being taken ut fwe the Magistrates, he stated that the object of I,i, application was to get a female, named Elizs►her lt White (who was committed to the House of C. r rection for one month from this office, on Tuesday last, for being drunk and disorderly in the street on the night before), released from prison. The Magistrates asked him what his reasons wer e for interesting himself in her behalf. " Why, your Honour," said Jack, " the fact is I have known her since I returned from sea. I have been lately left 4,0001., and I'm going to marry her on Sunday morning." The Magistrates here made inquiries as to the nature of the charge upon which the female had been committed, and it appeared that she is a com mon prostitute, and was sent to prison for a month for disorderly conduct in the streets. Mr. HARDWICK asked the applicant if he %yes aware of the character of his intended?—" Oh, yes, your Honour," replied Jack, " but I think nothing the worse of her for that. Your Honour knows it's a long lane has no turning." In reply to the further questions of the Magis trates, the applicant said that the money, 4,000/., was left to him by his father, whose name was Row lett, and who had amassed a considerable property, as a baker, in the town of Kingston-on-Thames.

Counsel) appeared on behalf of the Crown, and left it to the Court, upon reading - the informations, to say whether it waa u case in which the prisoners ought to be admitted to bail or not. Mr. Teague, the governor of the Compter, said ;he was in deep water when she was rescued by h coal-heaver and brought into the gaol sopping wet. She assigned as the cause of the attempt, her shame at going back pregnant to her friends in Scotland, whom she had quitted to come to England with man named Campbell, about six months ago. She had :a mother and three brothers and six sisters living at Bonar, and had herself lately lodged at Mr. Smith's, 32, Jane-street, Blackfriars-road, and a , Mr. Knight's at Blackheath. It was with great difficulty she could be induced to answer any ques tions, but he understood her to be now willing to return to her home, and with the Magistrate's per mission he would endeavour to restore her to her friends by means of an order from the Scottish Hos pital.

An executor's responsibility was individual ; but he might also make it a joint responsibility with his co executors, if be acted with them.

ANk for Butler's Cooling Aperient Powders, There are now in commission, in ordinary, or on the stocks, twelve ships of the line and seventeen frigates (besides various smaller vessels), most of which could be got to sea on short notice. In general it would require a longer time, and much greater expense to repair the vessels in ordinary than to launch those on the stocks. The ships of the line, although rated at 74's, ate generally larger, seversl of them carrying from 90 to 120 guns, and most of the new frigates are on a corresponding scale, both as to s'ze and weight of metal. So that, in fact, our navy is much more efficient in these respects than would be inferred from the number and late of the vessels composing it. The following are the ships of the line : Independence in ordinary at Boston. Coloanbu. do • ••• do. Ohio Franklin .do . New York. Washington do. .Delaware do. North Carolina... do. Alabama.,..., on the stocks. Vermont.... do. Virginia do. Pennsylvania do. New York.. do. The following are the frigates : Java in commission at Mediterranean. Brandywine do. Hudson do. Guerriere do. John Adams do. Constitution in ordinary at Boston. United States do, Potomac d 0.... Washington. Macedonian do. Congress ................. do. Santee.. ........... .on the stocks, k Portsmouth. Cumberland do. Sabine d o .. New York. Savannah..... db. Raritan Columbia do. St. Lawrence do. Contracts have been made, under an act of March, 1827, for the live oak frames of five additional ships of the line, five frigates, and five sloops of war. In fulfilment of these contracts, deliveries have been made at different navy yards of 321,714 cubic feet of said timber, for which has been paid the sum of 368,300 dollars. The policy of the United States in building their ships of war a size larger that; the nominal rate, has put the naval Powers of the old world to considerable inconvenience, who at once perceived that in case of a war with this country, their 74's would be a source of perpetual embarrassment and anxiety, as they could not, single-handed, encounter a first-rate American 74, without an almost certainty of being captured. And so of their frigates, none of which could stand against the first class of American frigates. The consequence would be, that they would either have to run away from vessels of the same class with themselves, or submit to the still more mortifying alternative of being captured. Fore seeing this, the French have - already followed our example, to a considerable extent, and the English are " beginning to think about it." The late manager of the Manchester minor theatre, Mr. NEVILLE, is now in prison and on the tread mill, fur his inability to pay a fine of 501., which was im posed upon him for allowing an Italian Opera to be performed in that house, when no other place could be obtained for that Purpose ! !

Yesterday the adjourned meeting of Naval Officers, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of carrying into execution the plan for esta blishing a " Royal Navy School," for the education of the sons of naval and marine officers, was held at the Thatched Howe Tavern, St. James's; Sir IL Blackwood, ''ice- Admiral, in the chair. The meeting was most respectably attended. The CHAIR➢IAN said that the first duty which he had to perform was to inform the meeting that he had transmitted to Sir James Graham the resolu tion passed at the last meeting, expressive of their most grateful thanks to his Majesty for having gra ciously condescended to become the patron of the intended institution, and he should now read'the following reply which he had received from ' the F►rst Lord of the Admiralty, acknowledging that communication : " Admiralty, June 15. " Sia,—l shall have the greatest pleasure in conveying to his Majesty the vote of thanks adopted at a meeting of Naval Officers, Noblemen, and gentlemen assembled yes terday at the Thatched House, for his Majesty's gracious condescension in consenting to become the patron of the Royal Navy School. I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect, your obedient servant, " J. R. GRAHAM. " Vice-Admiral the How. Sir H. Blackwool" He should now read the resolutions which would be proposed for the adoption of the meeting on this occasion. They were to the following effect " That this meeting was highly gratified by the re port which had been read by Commander Dickson at the former meeting, on the 14th instant, and at the amount of subscriptions (nearly one thousand pounds) which bad been collected there on that oc casion ; that what had taken place at that meeting offered a happy omen of the future exertions which would be made in furtherance of this project, and constituted an earnest of the zeal and liberality with which the proposed school would be supported by the service of the country ; that a Committee for as certaining the propriety of establishing a naval school for boarding and educating two hundred Pupils, t h e sons of naval and marine officers, be appoint e d, and that the following noblemen and gentlemen (the list compfsed a great number of naval officers, from Admirals downwards) be requested to act upon that Committee, seven to be a quorum ; that the said Committee meet for the above-named purpose evEry Monday and Friday for the next four weeks, and that a general meeting be called for Thursday, the 4th of July, to receive the report of the Committee, or, if it should not then be ready, at the earliest possible day after the Committee should have ter minated their labours. Having read the resolutions the Gallant Chairman proceeded to state that the subscriptions received at the last meeting were— Donations £B4O 0 0 Amount of shares 6OO 0 0 Annual subscription same day 5l 10 0 T0ta1...... ........... 991 10 0 Amount of shares previously taken ... 1,504 0 0 430 0 0 Previous donations Grand total subscribed... £2,925 10 0 This, he observed, was the amount already received, and there could be no doubt that when the project became more generally known, the sum required for its complete success would be very soon obtained. He begged to state that there was another resolution to this effect—that all expences arising out of the attendance of the Committee should be defrayed out of the general fund subscribed. Captain DICKSON then read the list of donations and subscriptions, and announced that the number of members for the establishment of the Royal Navy School already amounted to 334. The object of the proposed institution was the education of the sons of poor, not of rich men, and the more it be came known, the more he was certain it would re ceive the counteriacce and support of the service. The seamen in Deal had already met to contribute, and a meeting for the purpose had been called at Plymouth, at which that distinguished officer, Rear- Admiral Sir Jahleel Brenton, whose devotion to the cause of education of seamen was well known, had consented to preside. The resolutions were then put seriatim and carried. Captain SKIPSEY, referring to the scale of annual subscriptions and the minimum qualifying subseibers to become members, thought that it was not fairly or equitably distributed: he therefore proposed that after the present year the minimum of the annual subscriptions from the different portions of the ser vice should be one day's half-pay from each officer of the various respective ranks in the service. After a few words from Captain DICKSON, the proposition was adopted. Captain SAUMAREZ proposed that in future no officer below the rack of Admiral or Vice-Admiral should be appointed on the Committee for managing the affairs of the institution, who was not married, or who was not a parent ; but as the suggestion did not meet wi t h the approbation of the meeting, it was dropped. It was then determined that the framing of the laws and regulations for the government of the institution should be left to the Committee, which had been already appointed, and after thanks had bet n voted to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. A very numerous and fashionable company as sembled yesterday afternoon in the delightful grounds of Mr. Jenkins, Regent's Park, for the purpose of participating in the pleasure of a fete eliampetre given in aid of tie hinds for enlarging the esta blishment of the Royal Dispensary, Soho, for diseases of the ear. There was also a Ladies' Ba zaar for the sale of fancy articles, for the like object. The.entertainment, which is to last for three days, is given under the auspices of their Majesties, and under the immediate patronage of the Duchess of Kent, and a numerous party of the Nobility. Upwards of 2,000 tickets were received yes'er day at the doors. Numerous marquees and tempo rary buildings for the Bazaar were placed in various parts. The band of the First Regiment of Life Guards were stationed on an eminence, where they could be beard to the greatest advantage. A quadrille band, under the direction of Mr. J. Weippert, were stationed on the smaller lawn, de lightfully surrounded by flowering shrubs, and plants of every description, and the Singers of the Alps perambulated the walks, singing at various stations their national melodies. The Bazaar, under the immediate superintendence of the Countess of Essex, Lady Marshall, &c., displayed a vast variety of ingeniously formed articles of taste, the whole being the production of the ladies contributing to the charity, and the purchase's were numerous. A marquee, of considerable dimensions, was ap . - propriated for refreshments; in the centre of a jet d' eau, surrounded by a profusion of aquatic and other beautiful plants. The refreshments were of a superior description, and supplied at reasonable prices by Mr. Jarrin, of Bond-street. The whole entertainment appeared to afford much gratification. The grounds will continue open this day and to morrow, from one o'clock to six, and it is expected that some of the brarches of the Royal Family will honour the entertainment with their presence. We cannot conclude this brief notice without suggesting whether it would not be better for the policemen to be stationed at the entrance gates, instead of mix ing every where with the company. Their presence can only be necessary to prevent the intrusion of thieves; and it is rather too bad to place the whole company under their perpetual and somewhat rude surveillance. FISHING EXTRAORDINARY. Though many stories have been told of the vo racity of the pike, the following, we opine, will be fotind equal , to any thing hitherto recorded. Some time ago a herd-boy in the employment of Mr. Cruikshank, of Trailflat, set his lines in a pool of the Annan, and on examining one of them, landed, after a terrible tug, a huge fish of the above species, which weighed fully twenty-four pounds. Delighted with his prize he drew it up the bank, and im mediately set about disentangling the hook; but as the fish was nearly as big as himself, a very des spoe r l a v t e e l b l m a t a t : e e h e e n d s u r e h d o , t i t n h e w g h e i c d h m t o h r e e combatants o e w e ' e rl r y e regained the r efreshment of the pool, with the valorous boy dangling at his tail. At length, however, it became sick, and to the astonish ment of the captor belched forth its morning meal, in the shape of another pike, four pounds in weight, and with the hook and part of the line in its belly. This phenomenon accounted for the difficulty felt in extracting the hook, and proved, moreover, that the lesser fish had swallowed the•bait first, and that the larger, like other gluttons, had paid the penalty of its own voracity. When eased of a load that must have lain heavy at his stomach, it re covered its vitality, and again bounced and floun dered in fine style, expanding its gills and lashing its tail; but still the boy held on, clutching the pike with all his might, and after a battle which lasted more than half an hour, thrust his shoe or clog into its mouth, and in that way killed it. Mr. Cruick shank and his son were a good deal surprised to see the little fellow. staggering under a lOad of two stones of fish—the honest and lawful spoils of the angle—and on learning all the circumstances of the case, rewarded him so liberally that he had no reason to complain that he had not taken his wares to the best market. Pikes, when large, are great poachers as well as gluttons, and though unable to makepreparatory excursions on land, seize with great avidity every windfall, whether found at the top or the bottom of the waters. Not long ago, a boy who resides on the banks of the Loch, caught a ged of considerable size, which was destined to form part of the family dinner, but not a creature would touch it when the cook recognised in its s greedy r m m e m i v )e t ro w r o e !kittens Nut tin which had re oet i y l, een theyoung drowned of crow s an d I other birds meet a similar fate, while to fly for the first time over a sheet of e ; :t a e Y r i . ng When tired or frightened they sometimes drop and float on the sulfur; like aquatic birds, and if Monsieur Pike, who uniformly keeps a good look out, is at all within the range of these accidents, he makes short work with the devoted branchers by gobbling them up, feathers and all. For this spe cies of ti•esposs the gamekeepers, to a man, would wiliingly forgive him, if he would only let the wild ducks . alone.

We un derstand that Mr. O'CONNELL made a motion for a return o f promotions from each, bar respectively inNovernber l4ist, but have not heard wh et h er any report has been made. William Rowland, son of the prosecutor, proved that the prisoner came into his father's shop on the 7th of last May, and having selected a gold watch and other articles of jewellery, to the amount of 501. prevailed upon the witness to accompany him in a coach with the property to No. 103, Jermyti street, where he said he resided, in order that his wife might see the articles before he paid for them. The witness then related the stratagem by which the prisoner obtained possession of the property, by pre tending that his wife was ill in the next room, and wished to see the purchases he had made. Having been absent about five minutes, witness discovered that the prisoner had left the house, taking the pro perty with him. The lady who resides at No. 103, Jermyn-street, proved that the prisoner came to her house on the morning of the day in question, to look at the apart ments which were to be let. He told her that he should bring his brother to see them at three o'clock, at which hour he came in a hackney-coach, with the last witness. She fully identified the prisoner, as did also her servant. A lad named Davis, who had been sent by Mr. Rowland to watch where the coach should drive to, also identified the prisoner, and proved that having seen him in Fleet-street, on the 9th instant, he fol. lowed him, upon which the prisoner ran into the Temple, in the square of which he was taken into custody by a police serjeant of the K division, who happened to be passing at the time. Sir R. BIRNIE observed that the case was com plete against the prisoner, and asked him if he wished to say any thing at present. The prisoner, striking the bar violently with his closed hand, denied the charge, and declared that the witnesses were mistaken in his person, Mr. Rowland said that his young man, Davis, had described the prisoner most accurately before he was apprehended, and amongst other marks of identity, he mentioned a scar which the prisoner had over his right eye. _ Prisoner—May not .50 men in London have pre cisely the same mark ? Sir R. BIRNIE—Have you any abjection to tell what countryman you are ? Prisoner—Not in the least ; I am an American, and was born in the state of Pennsylvania. I have written to the American Consul, and could have brought forward several re spectable gentlemen to speak to my character, had I known that these persons would have sworn so positively to me. - Sir R. BIRNIE—Were you ever in Scotland ? Prisoner (hesitating a little)—l was. Sir R. BIRN lE—Hois long since ? Prisoner— About two years ago. Sir R. BIRNIE—You are quite right; you see that I know more about you than perhaps you were aware of. Prisoner—lt is not at all unlikely that you do, Sir Richard; but I declare that I am innocent of this charge. Sir RICHARD—WeII, then you shall have an op portunity of proving your innocence; for I shall re• mand you for a week, but I tell you fairly that it is my intention to commit you for trial on this charge. The prisoner then requested that he might be committed to Newgate at once, alleging that be had been nearly starved in the New Prison ; and he com• plained, moreover, of having been several times struck in the dailt by the other prisoners, who amused themselves, when locked.up for the night, by throwing their shoes at each other. The prisoner was ordered to bd committed to New gate, in compliance with his wish; and the witnesses were bound over to prosectre. He was dressed, as on his first examination, in the garb of a sailor; and during the examination he was observed to shed tears. He appeared to have suf fered dreadfully since he was first examined. MARYLEB ONE. Yesterday Henry Collier, who said that he resided at No. 23, Compton-street, Soho, was charged by Coniston Bell Pittman, Esq., of No. 6, Jermyn-street, St. James's, with picking his pocket of a purse, con taining nine sovereigns and a quantity of silver. Mr. Pittman was going down Bond-street about two o'clock that afternoon, when he felt the skirt of his coat lifted up as he supposed by the wind, but suddenly he heard a cry of stop thief, and, turning round, he found that he had lost his purse, which was in his left hand coat pocket. He was not in the habit of putting his purse into that pocket, but he had come out with a considerable sum of money to pay away. _ _ Mr. GRIFFITH called upon the prisoner for his defence, when he declared that he had nothing to say. Keyse, the gaoler, now intimated to Mr. Griffith that Collier had been committed from Marlborough street office, but escaped the punishment of the law. Mr. GRIFFITH—He won't escape it now. But I wonder much that Mr. Pittman should have been so incautious as to put a purse full of sovereigns and silver into his skirt pocket. Mr'. Pittman said he fiad left home to pay away a considerable sum of money, that his waistcoat pockets mere stuffed with Bank of England notes, and his purse with sovereigns and silver. What he wished was to bring such a culprit as the prisoner to justice, for it was very hard not to be able to walk the streets in open day without being robbed in the manner he had been. Mr. GRIFFITH—No, indeed, you can't walk in that way, Sir, with any sort of safety to your pocket, and especially if that pocket happens to be in the skirts of your coat. I should expect to be robbed from hour to hour if I perambulated the streets in the same negligent way. Mr. Pitman —I can't help it, Sir. Mr. GRIFFITH—But I shall do the best I can to prevent it, by committing the prisoner for trial. The prisoner was accordingly committed to New gate. LA TIRE T S TI?EE T. - Yesterday, during the hours of public business this office, a weather-beaten sailor presented him- UNION-HA LL. Yesterday a young female, apparently in a deli cate state of health, was brought up from the South wark station-house, having attempted to destroy herself in the course of that morning. A policeman of letter M. division, while on ditty in Blackfriars-road that morning, about two o'clock, near the bridge, was called by a gentleman who held a female in his grasp at the top of the steps leading down to the river, and gave her into his (the police man's) charge. From the gentleman's statement, it appeared that as he was returning home from. a party, in crossing the bridge he observed the female present walk with a hurried step, evincing at the same time great agitation. Suspecting from her manner that she contemplated self-destruction, he followed her unperceived,' at some distance, and saw her descend the steps leading to the water, upon which he made great speed, and caught the back part of her gown just as she was about to precipitate herself headlong into the river. She struggled hard to break away from him, in order to effect the olject she had in view, but was prevented, and during the confusion she drew a letter from her bosom, and flung it into the Thames, and it was carried away by the tide, which was running down at the time. At the station-hous e she excited the sympathy of every one who saw e itivvnor rher,ithet:aertmniminombsn brought consequenceotf:untgthidiiiaeetnr ukbunfortunate %iir. o citenu f h s h aihfr e toee. r d c%l vrtaehohbaeatodni Chambers, laboured edi s rx t snN a p,i, state of oesoe expressed whichsrei sisoTheeuledsr with her on the wickedness of the act she was about n g s had experienced, both there and at the station house, and appeared grateful that the gentleman had rescued her from destruction, at a time when her mind was in such a state that she had no cuntroul over herself. The Magistrate interrogated her as to the cause which led her to meditate suicide, and after some slight hesitation she stated that she had been seduced, about three years ago, by a gentleman of fortu ne , w hil e res idi ng in he family of a Baronet (Sir R. Wigram), at Walthamstow, in Essex. At the period she had met with the misfortune she was living in the Ba ronet's house as companion to the family, and her seducer was in the habit of visiting there. He af terwards brought her to town, took splendid apart ments for her, and accommodated her with the use of his carriage, in which they were accustomed to ride together. She had three children by him, and, during her last accouchement, Laving met with a serious accident, owing to the unskilfulness of her medical attendant, the gentleman who had seduced her from that moment became less assiduous in his attentions, and finally abandoned her, leaving her an outcast on the world. She had respectable friends residing at Brighton, but tiny had discarded her ever since she had fallen into the path of dishonour; and she could not bear the thoughts of going into their presence after having brought disgrace upon them and herself by her conduct. For the last four months since her abandonment she had lived entirely by the sale of her clothes, and that resource being exhausted, rather than pursue a life of infamy, in the height of her despair, she had determined on drowning herself, and was prevented from carry ing her intention into effect by the interference of a strange gentleman. He held her at the moment she was about to throw herself into the river. After considerable hesitation on her part, she at length stated that her name was Broughton, and while at the office she was furnished with pen, ink, and paper, and wrote a letter to the gentleman whom she accused of having treated her in the manner above described. Mr. Chambers sent for the parish officers of Christ Church, who undertook to take care of the unfortunate woman, until her friends were made acquainted with the circumstances under which she had been taken to the station-house. Mr. CHAMBERS seemed to have made such an impression upon the poor creature's mind, by point• ing out in forcible language the miseries attendant upon a life of infamy, that there is reason to believe she will not repeat the attempt on het life. W ORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a lubberly-looking fellow, of gigat.tic s'ature, named Matthew Green, was charged with committing a most atrocious assault on police con stable No. 2, a serjeant in the H division. The serjeatit, who was much bruised, stated that at one o'clock that morning he saw two women loit ering about in Spitalfields, and having advised them to go home left them, but had not proceeded far when the prisoner (whom he had not seen before) came up to him, the women at the same time calling out " That's the man there, give him a good beat ing." The prisoner said, " You have insulted my wife, and now I'll serve you out," and without further ceremony knocked him down, knelt upon Ills breast with both his knees, and grasping his throat, nearly suffocated him. Had not another policeman ran to his assistance he would have been killed on the spot. Mr. TWYFORD—To be sure you would. He would have killed three such men as you. Prisoner—He took liberties with my wife. Here (exhibiting his head), look at the prints on my fore head from their three staves. The wife (to the complainant)—You bad fellow ! You know well that, thinking my husband was not near, you took liberties with me. I have two wit nesses to prove it, your Worships. Hewitt, one of the witnesses, stated that he saw the policeman walk up to the last witness and b?gin to ticklilter—(A laugh) —upon which she cried out murder. Mr. TWYFORD—Did be tickle the other woman. too ?—No. The complainant declared on his oath that he lied not laid his hand upon either of them. The Magistrates told him that, after the statement they had heard, they could not think of co nvicting the prisoner. He might, if he chose, indict him at the sessions.—Discharged. A worthy churchwarden of Canterbury, a few days since, excused himself by note from a, dinner patty by alleging that - be wa s .en g aged.in taking the senses of his parish."
