By Order of the Board. R. BYHAM, Secretary. TO THE COMMITTEE FOR MANAGING THE AFFAIRS, AND TO THE SUBSCRIBERS TO LLOYD'S GENTLEMEN, IN consequence of the death of your late Secretary, Mr. BENNETT, I beg to offer myself to your notice as a Candidate for that situation. In coming forward at this late period, when several Gentlemen have already sent in their pretensions, I feel that my success must entirely depend on the merit of my qualifications. I consider that if at any time the Trade of London, and particularly that branch which affects its Shipping Interest, required a more than ordinary degree of vigilance and efficiency in its functionaries, it is the present ; since the increasing influence of other Ports, and the expected operation of Legislative Enactments, will render it neces sary that the arrangements of such an important Body as Lloyd's should be conducted with a skilful knowledge of business, and a degree of informatio❑ worthy of the Merchants who are comprised in the List of its Subscri bers. I conceive, Gentlemen, that seven years' connexion with Commerce has rendered me fully competent to perform the duties of the Situation which I am ambi tious of obtaining; and I may be allowed to state, perhaps with some satisfaction, that several of my literary productions have stood the test of criticism, and received the recommendations and encomiums of the public press. If, Gentlemen, you should consider that the possessio❑ of these qual fications is better calculated to promote the interest of Lloyd's, than the honour of being extensively known amongst its Subscribers, I flatter myself that I shall stand as good a chance of success as the other Can didates who have already appealed to you. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient bumble servant, ' JOHN PENNY. Craven Hotel, Feb. 24, 1834. WIMBLEDON, SURREY.—FREEHOLD. THE CAPITAL MANSION, GAR DENS, and GROUNDS of the late SIR WM. BEAUNIAURICE RUSH, and the Eligible RESI DENCE, late in the occupation of I. A. KNIPE, Etci., will be offered for SALE By AUCTION, At Garraway's Coffeehouse, in Separate Lots, on the 25th of March. For particulars apply to Mr. Sawyer, Staple lon, and (with Cards to view) to Messrs. Farebrother and Co., Lancaster-plate, Strand. WASHING WITHOUT , LABOUR. WARMOLL and Co.'s celebrated PURIFIED SOAP, for Washing Linen. This valuable article is particularly recommended to the Public as decidedly pre ferable to every other soap, possessing the invaluable quality of eradicating grease, dirt, and stains from Linen, white or coloured, with one fourth the labour required by the use of common Soap, rendering the linen beautifully white and clear. It is extremely harmless in its compo sition, ao much so, it is used for washing children of the moat tender age. The unpleasant and hurtful effects of wet linen being long on hand is obviated by the use of this desirable article, likewise the things from being torn by excessive rubbing, as they have only once to be rubbed, agreeable to directions on each packet. The Directions must be strictly attended to. Originals of Testimonials of the First Families and Public Institutions, also from ex tensive laundresses, may be seen at the Factory. Large Consumers may have a person from the establishment to superintend a trial, and fully prove its merits. The manufacturers are determined to afford the Public every satisfactory demonstration. (No Family I ought to be without it.) It is excellent for exportation. Superior to any for washing in salt water.

Her Royal High ness evinced the greatest anxiety for the safety of the c hild, and was only prevented from getting out of her carriage by the opportune arrival of General Upton, who chanced to pass on horseback at the moment, who begged of her Royal Highness to remain where she was, and he would see that the child was properly taken care of. The Princess desired that he should be taken to the nearest surgeon's, and she would wait in the Park until they re turned. The constable, accompanied by General Upton, then carried the child to Mr. Fincham's, in Spring - gardens, who carefully examined it, and in about half.m hour they returned to her Royal Highness, and assured her that Mr. Fincbman was of opinion that the child was not dangerously injured. Her Royal Highness ex pressed great delight at the information, and sent a very handsome present to the mother of the child, at the same time assuring her that every attention and medical advice should be rendered. Her Royal Highness resented the police-constable with some money for his prompt attend ance, which be declined on account of the rules of the service ; when she requested General Upton to wait on the police commissioners to beg them to allow the con stable to receive a reward he was justly entitled to for his promptitude.

This was an action brought against Mr. Barber Beau mont to re•cover damages for a libel. After the trial of an action brought by the Pro•tident Assurance Office against the Hope Office, Mr. Beaumont, the manager of the Provident Office, published a letter in the Morning Chronicle, stating that the defence was im troperly conducted, that the policies of the Hope were :ramed in a manner to deceive, and that the Office had made use of suborned evidence. The action was brought by the plaintiff, as chairman of •he Hope Office, for the publieation of this letter. The Loan CHIEF J USTICE suggested the ma4ter should be arranged, as the defendant, by suffering judgment to g o 'ty default, had confessed the WTI. Mr. Beaumont having nude an apology, the Learned .fudge drew up a short statement to the effect that Mr. Beaumont expressed his regret that in a moment of irrita ion he had published a letter reflecting on the conduct or the Hope Assurance Office ; that, upon consideration, and In his cooler moments, he was satisfied there was no foun iation for the charges imputed to the Office, their solicitors dr agents. A verdict was taken for nominal damages, is. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 26. (Before Lord LYNDHURST and a Special Jury.) uctiott. U. BURSTALL. The form of this action was mover for a whale. In substance it was to recover the sum of 8751., the amount at which the plaintiff assessed the value of a whale which it was alleged the crew of the defendant's vessel impro perly possessed themselves; the fish having been caugh• by the crew of the plaintiff's vessel. The disputed owner ship was between the captain and crew of the Dorothy of Dundee, and the captain and crew of the Venerable. of Hull ; and the occurrence out of which the present ac— tion arose took place on the 19th of August last in Davis' Straits. Mr. F. Pot.LocK stated the plaintiff's case. The custom of the Greenland whale fishery wag, that a captured fish belonged to the party which first harpooned it, provided it did not altogether escape. If the fish got away from the harpoon after it bad been struck, or was not kept i❑ hand by the line, then it would be what was called a " lose fish," and it would be open to others to pursue and take. If, on the contrary, it were fairly kept in hand, although it might get away for a time and require much more to kill it, then it would he what was termed a " fast fish," and the property of the first harpooner, whatever friendly assistance might be given by other boats. Certain admissions on the point of custom had been entered into between the litigant part es from which the statement he had made was deduced. In the present case he should be able to show that there had been a departure from these rules by the crew of the Venerable, with re ference to a fish struck by the crew of the Dorothy, and claimed by the Venerable, and ultimately forcibly detained. David Latto, James Hurseburgh, and eight or nine wit nesses, being the harpooners and crew of the Dorothy, were put into the box on the part of the plaintiff, and a harpoon was also produced and occasionally used by the witnesses to explain their statements to the Court. The facts established in evidence by these witnesses were that seven or eight boats belonging to the Dorothy and Ve• nerable were on the look-out on the 19th of August last. That a fish rose, having the appearance of a wounded fish, its " blast" (the water spouted by whales) being thick and black. That the first boat of the Dorothy went up to the fish, and pulled round her, and, Eluding no mark of a wound upo❑ her, threw their harpoon, which struck in the back. The first harpoon did not hold well, and a second Import, which went up to the hilt, was thrown by the harpooner of another of the Dorothy's boa's. As soon as the fit st harpoon struck, the harpooner " called a fall," that is, hoisted a flag, which is always understood to signify a fish hit. A flag at that time was also seen flying in one of the boats of the Venerable. . That boat and other boats of the Venerable afterwards came up, and, striking a third harpoon into the fish, claimed it as one they had previously wounded. A dis pute ensued, when Captain Mackenzie told Latto to go for his master, that they might settle the matter be tween them, he promising that in the mesnavbile all things should remain in siatu quo. When Latto came back with his master they found all the lines cut off the fish, and the tail of it hauled up on the bow of the Ve nerable's boat. Captain Mackenzie told Capt. Davidson that he would not deliver up the fish, which was his, and that all the Dundee men were robbers, and that he had been already robbed of one fish, and would not lose ano ther. The fish was " swept" (a line passed under her whereby any harpoons sticking underneath are discovered), anti only the lines of the two harpoons of the Dorothy and one of the Venerable came up. Nothing occurred in cross-examination to shake this testimony. Mr. Wur.t.tais should call the crew of the Venerable to prove that they had first struck the fish ; that it was an hour under water, and then rose near the boat of the Dorothy, anti Latto went up to the fish, and in a very " unfiskermanlike" and unfair manner poked or " prod Bled, " as the technical term was, at her, so as to get out the harpoon of the Venerable, which was then in. The crew of the Venerable endeavoured to prove that Latto bad " proddled" the fish ; that he had used the har poon underhand instead of dealing an uplifted overhanded blow. They proved having struck some fish ; but the identity was nut made out. After hearing three witnesses in denial of the i:nputed " proddling" of the fish by Latto, the Jury declared that they were satisfied the fish in question was a " loose fish," and gave their verdict, therefore, for the plaintiff for 3751.

Yesterday John Smith, a man of gentlemanly appear ance, about forty years of age, who represented himst lf a a classical teacher, and Mary Apps, a well looking gill, about nineteen, were charged by Mr. Buck, hairdresser, of Lamb's Conduit-street, Brunswick-square, with having been concerned in stealing three hairconibs. Mr. Buck stated that the male prisoner's sister, who is a teacher of music, occupied apartments on the second floor in his house, and the prisoner Mary Apps was Net servant. The prisoner Smith was in the habit of visiting her, and there being no private entrance, the lodgers and those who visited them only had ingress and egress through the shop. During the last three months witness had missed a great many combs, brushes, and other propetty, and, though a strict watch was kept, he was unable to discover the thief until Tuesday last, when, on Alary Apps passing by him in the shop, he perceived three combs iu her hair which be identified as being his property. 0:4 questioning her she said that Smith had made her a pre sent of them, and he had also promised to give her a gown. The largest comb he had missed about a fortnight. He immediately sent for Smith, who positively denied having given the combs to her, and he protested his in nocence. Stephen Thornton, 53 E—Your Worship, as I was bringing the prisoners to the office, Mary Apps told the that Mr. Smith made her tipsy with rum anti water, and that he took liberties with her, when he gave her the combs, The prisoner Apps—So he did, and he also promised me a new gown. Mr. BUCK said that be was fully inclined to believe the girl's statement, in consequence of her wearing the combs so publicly, and her delivering them up when questioned. lie really believed that she was quite innocent of stealing them. Smith admitted having given the prisoner Apps some ruin and water, which affected her head. Mr. ROGERS admitted the prisoner Apps as King's evidence, and, on being sworn, she stated that, about fortnight ago, she was in her room, when th e prisoner. who bad frequently importuned her, entered the place; STnrKt AMONGST THE TANNERS.-Yesterday seven !een journey Men tanners, in the employment of Mr. .

He added, that the whole of the men belonged to a union which had been established by the journeymen tanners, and was calculated to be of a most mini tons tendency to the masters in the trade. The magistrates condemned the practice of men coin inning together for sucb a purpose, and sent.cmced Bailey and Evans to be committed to the treadmill f, , r a month each ; and the other defendants were discharged.

NORTHERN CHIC FEA. 24, The business of the circuit commenced here to- ,, ay, The Judges, Mr. Justice Taunton and Mr. Justice Alder son atrived on Saturday, and this morning Mr. Justice Taunton, who presides in the Crown Court, addressed the Grand Jury. The calendar of this county-palatine is rather heavy. There are two or three cites of man slaughter, and two or three of rape. Thomas Davison, aged 21 years, was indicted under Lord Ellenborough's Act with feloniously stabbing Grace Matthewson in the left side with a knife, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. The proseeutrix, who is a young WORM about 17 years of age, stated that the occurrence took place on Sunday week last, the 16th instant. She resides with her brother at a place called 13owsden-moor, her father and mother being dead. She had been visiting her grand.- mother on the day mentioned, and was returning home a little after one o'clock in the afternoon. She had to past a place called Barrington Lock, a kind of valley or ravine, about two miles distant from her grandmother's. She saw a man coming up the green, in which there are some trees. She had got within about twenty yards of the gate when the prisoner came up to her, put his arms round her waist, and threw her on the ground. The witness then described the attempts made on her person by the prisoner, which attempts she successfully resisted. lie then took out a knife and said lie would cut her throat if she did not lie still. Ile stabbed her with a knife in the side through the stays, and soon after went away. As soon as the prosecutrix came to herself; she got up and passed througk the gate. _ _ . Several witnesses were called, after which The jury found the prisoner Guilty.—Sentence not passed. Mr. Justice TAUNTON, who, we believe, has not been this circuit before, seemed to_day a good deal annoyed by the roundabout mode of answering questions which is so characteristic of the peasantry in the north. The Learned Judge remarked that he found it much easier to make the Welsh people understand him than the inhabitants of this part of the country. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-READING, FEB. 2;3. (Before Mr. Justice ParrEsoN.) Aaron Liddiard and Thomas Liddiard were charged with being armed in the preserves of John Pearse, Esq., the Bank Director, with intent to take game. The jury found both the prisoners Guilty. Wm. Williams, a middle aged man, of very respectable appearance, was charged with having uttered a forged 10/. bank -note, he well knowing it to be forged. Verdict, Guilty.—Sentence, transportation for life. . . _ . - . In the case of Wm. Jones, who was tried for horse stealing, Mr. Justice PATTESON said that he had known instances of two horse stealers each stealing a horse, at a place very distant from the other, and then meeting half way, and exchanging horses, so that if afterwards either of them had the horse they exchanged found in his pos session, and was taken up and charged with stealing it, he set up an alibi, as he was never near the place front which that horse was stolen. The first half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the London and Birmingham railway was held in Birmingham on Friday last ; Isaac Solly, E.q., of Laidon, chairman of the board of directors, presiding.

The second instalment, of 51. per share, it was stated, had been promptly paid, and a balance of 120,306/. is now at the disposal of the company. The meeting was attended by ab ,ut 200 proprietors, who ex pressed great satisfaction at the report. 'I'IIE CELEBRATEDWOMEN OF ALL AGES.
