Severalwitnesses gave the prisoner an excellent charac ter, stating that she had been living with her mother, a laundress, in Littlq Portland-street. The Jury found the prisoner, Guilty of the larceny.

(Before Mr. Baron liiir.Locx.) William Cutts; aged 40, was indicted for receiving the abbve gelding, knowing it to have been stolen, on the 17th of October last. The Learned Judge summed up, and tlie Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty." . The prisoner left the dock smiling. NEW COURT. William Thompson was indicted for stealing twenty punds of opium; the property of the London Dock Com pany. Vera ict—G u ilty. William Williams was indicted for stealing, in conjunc tion with another boy, a silk handkerchief, the property of a gentleman whose name was unknown. William Whit-title:am deposed to the fact of taking the prisoner into custody, having seen him and the other boy commit the robbery. Cross-examined by • Mr. C. PHILLIPS.—Had formerly preferred an indictment against the prisoner for the same offence. The gentleman who was robbed gave his name at the watch-house,. Thomas Clark. • Mr. Pummrs now tiubinitted that the indictment must fail, because it stated that the. property was that of per son whose name was unknown ; whereas, it appeared, that the property belonged to a Mr. Thomas Clark. Mr. Sergeant Attainx thought there was nothing in the point. Mr. C. PlittraPs said, that surely no twelve gentlemen could he asked , to swear that the prisoner had stolen the property of a person unknown, when at thC same time the per Son was perfectly well known. • Mr. Sergeant Attanrs-1 have given my opinion that there is nothing in the point. Mr C. ISFirwrs—Yes, and I have my opinion also, and, as Counsel for the prisoner, I feel bound to urge it. Mr. P. then proceeded to cross-examine the witness at great length, in order to•show that his testimony was unworthy of credit, inasmuch as that he had sworn to certain matters which he (Mr. Phillips) said he could prove not to be true ; but Mr. Sergeant Arabin objected to such a mode of pro ceeding as irregular. The witness had sworn that he had not said that his motive for preflaring the present indict ment isT3 because of the treatment he had re ceived from Counsel at the last trial. M r.

The Jury having consulted for some minutes in the box, the Foreman turned round and asked what interest the witnesses for the prosecution had in either the acquittal or conviction of the prisoner?

The Foreman then returned a verdict of " Guilty ;" but one of the Jury objecting, they again retired, and in a feW minutes returned a verdict of " Mr. Sergeant ARABIN then said, that he approved of the verdict ; and having tried the former case, lie knew more of it than the Jury, and,if he had, seen any thing wrong in it he would not have allowed the prosecutor his expenses. Mr. C. Pitruars (with some warmth).—.l shall recom mend that the prosecutor be indicted for perjury, on the evidence which could have been adduced against him, if permitted ; and, as a gentleman, I pledge my honour, that on the former trial the jury stood up in the box, and re quested that the prosecutor might not be allowed' his ex penses ; and several learned gentlemen near me can bear witness to the fact. Mr. Sergeant AttAan.:—Well, that only proves how strung my feeling was upon the subject. Mr. C. Pittuars—Oh ! there can be no doubt but that your feeling in the case has been very strong. You have proved, Sir, the strength of your feeling in the case. Mr. Sergeant Ananias—l don't know whether you mean that as a compliment, or whether as a piece of wit. Mr. Prrit.T.rrs-=Oh! I am not in the habit of paying .compliments; and as to wit, I leave that to others in this Court. Mr. Serjeant AtAanc.—Well Sir, these observations are improper, and I request the conversation may be put a top to. Mr. C. PHILLIM—When a doubt seems to be ex pressed about a matter which in the course of the trial I have asserted, I think it my duty to re-assert it, as I now do, with double force. If these doubts Were expressed out of doors, I should know how to treat them, but as it is— Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.—Then I say the conversation must be put a stop to. Mr. C. Pumites.—Be it so, but still I wish it to be distinctly understood, that the Jury requested the Court non that ()Cession, not to allow the prosecutor his expences. Mr. Pr: mutes then sat down. Mr. Sergeant AILABIN then said, that as the prisoner was unkiloirii to the Police, tout had previously borne a good character, his punishment should be comparatively lenient.

Early on the morning of Friday week, after the snow had fallen, some idle and mischievous boys had collected a large ball, and left it in the middle of the Cross. A small terrier dog, apparently dissatisfied, and much dis pleased at the impropriety of such an object, in a place so conspicuous and ill-chosen, fell to work with the most steady perseverance, with teeth and claws, and wrought hard till the divided and scattered elements were brought to a level with the others on the surrounding street. What is still more remarkable, while he continued his labours, a number of his fellow companions, some of them of larger size, and more sagacious countenance, stood contemplating his exer tions, with apparent curiosity and wonder, but without in terfering or offering their assistance.— G eVink Adertiser. A RESURRECTMN-MAN.—Between eight and. nine o'clock on Saturday evening, a man of the name of JAMES CARROLL was discovered by a number of per sons, who, it appeared, had'been previously watching his motions, in the act of disinterring the body of a female, who had been buried on the same evening in the Hospital . Fields. Being instantly seized on by those persons, i derwent such rough treatment at their bands as to make it necessary to have him removed to Steven's Hospital, where his situation at present is so precarious as in all probability to render it not unlikely that he may in a short time him self become liable to the same unhallowed treatment, in o ffering which to the remains of another be had incurred his MiSfQatillcorrAhldin Xorning Post.

The stock in the West . India Docks is now only 12,275 casks less-than at this time last year, and the deliveries for some weeks past have been full 1,000 casks per week less. A public sale of 2,817 bags Mauritius Sugar was brought forward yester day, which may in a measure account for the flat tiess in the raw market ; the whole were sold, with out spirit, at Is. 6d. a 2s. under the prices of the last sale.

Fine pulled Tufty Figs continue to be much sought after : the Middling qualities go off quietly, at the price of laSt .the other descriptions there is no alteration. • In Rum no extensive bargains have lately been made : the Market this 'week has, however, exhi bited symptoMs of revival. As adVanced prices have been demanded, not much has been done. SPICES bear nearly the same value as in the early part of the week. The demand for Pimento is languid, and the former prices are barely maintained. The demand for Cinnamon has rather subsided. The Market for SALTPETRE, continues pretty steady at from 6d. to Is. under the highest prices lately obtained. The deliveries this week from the warehouse, have been small: the exports to the Continent have also become less than for the last two or three weeks. SILK.—The East India Company's sale, whi. takeS place in the beginning of February next, will consist of 2,400 bales. The Silk trade is rather mere brisk at present than it has been for some time past : the rates given for weaving are, however, ex tremely low. The imports of Italian raw silk, this week, are Unusually heavy; but the prices have not given way. Turkey• Silk is held rather less firmly, the accounts from Constantinople being more peaceable than was anticipated. After the present month the manufacturers anticipate a revival of trade. There are'no.fresh accounts from St. Petersburgh this morning. Russian produce continues heavy, ut about the former-quotations. The stock of Tallow, which is much beyond what will be consumed pre vious to the arrival of the Spring ships, will, it is ex pected, be much increased by the home produce. Bristles are heavy, and in Hemp and Flax little-is doi ng . Tho deliveries of Tallow this week have been very small. CovroN.—There is an increasing disposition manifested to purchase, .and the business done this week has been on rather higher terms. Although the accounts from the manufacturing districts generally complain of the low rate of sages, s till the demand for Cotton goods for the foreign Market is great. Egyptian Cotton continues to meet with a ready sale at an advance of price—ordinary fetching 7d., and fine from Bd. to Sid. East India Cottons likewise bear higher rates. During the prcsent week, there have been entered for exportation to Calais, 250,000 ounces of silver coin, all foreign. The celebrated WM. CORBETT, in his. ast political Register, has developed a plan of paying his igricultural labourers in food, and urges the farmers in general to copy his example. The baneful effects of paying workmen in goods, has been dreadfully felt in this neigh bourhood.-2-Nottinghra Review. - - COUNTY ELECTION.—The Election for a Representative fur this County will take place to-day, when the Honourable JOHN BoYLE, second sou of the Earl of Coax, will be returned without opposition, iu the room of the late laineuted Lord Viicount Ennismore,— Cork Con stitution, Dec. 4.

THE TWO-NEEDLE FRAMEWORK-KNIT TERS.—On Monday a delegate meeting was held at the White Hart, Red-hill, near Arnold, to devise the best means for obtaining an advance of wages. • The names of the Delegates having been called over, the Chairman stated that the trade was such as to authorise them to make an application 'to 'the hosiers for an advance of wages, and he was sure that the increasing demand in the market was their most powerful advocate. It having been agreed to unanimously by the Delegates that this was a proper time • to apply for an advance, a statement was handed round the . room, founded on the statement of 1819 ; the length and the number of jacks not being altered.

IN PORTUGAL. Er.vAs, Nov. I3.—St. Martin's is the day fixed for proving the quality of the new wines, which this year prove re markably good, but the quantity is very small—about one fourth of hist year's crop, or not so much. The pried last year was from 600 to 700 reis (2s. 6d. to 35.) per - almuda (4.- gallons); this is from 1,200 to 1,600 reis (from 51. to 6s. Bd.) in Borba ; in Villa Born it is lower. The me thod of making wines is much cleaner than in the neigh bourhood of Lisbon. The grapes .are spread on a clean brick floor, in the centre of which is a cistern to receive the juice, and are broken by men trampling upon them with wooden shoes. The pulp is then collected and pressed. After the fermentation, it is put into large ear hern pots, containing from 32 to 37 ahnudas, or a pipe of one-fourth. At the top of the jar they pour oil upon the wine, and no other covering. When they want to prove it, they blow the oil aside with the breath, and take out a smina,lltl,h-h(eembapernes-t -tity of wine in a small cork dish—they say any thing else will injure it. There are wines of many different qualities, both white and red, and the qualities excel::: quality of red is the bastard and white, of the , flavour of bncellns, but the transport is so enormous, together with the duties, and other expellees, that none sent state of thins, ever find its way to London.---Seots man.

In the still -protracted delay of official news from Constantinople, we would recommend the perusal of our City article. The funds advan ced more than a half per cent. at the opening of the market, while the issues of war or peace may be said to hang upon the balance ; and the cause of this advance was ascribed to the econo mizing measure of releasing the Yeomanry from their duties. Thii3 cause is no suggestion of ours,—it was discovered and applied to an otherwise causeless effect by the people in the money-market itself; and, without either affirm ing or denying its validity, we lIQW only state its origin and its supposed consequence. The mere suggestion, however, of such a cause, is a proof of the beneficial efficacy which those who are pretty conversant in money matters attribute to the spirit of retrenchment evinced in one•act.— and let it be observed, that this is not only a re trenchment of public expences, but a sparing also of the'mOney:of individuals,--- 7 .an accommodation to the wants- of a class of persons unavoidably suffering by the pressure of the times : its opera tion in this respect must be considerable. For we haVe all seen the complete accoutrements and excellent fitting-out of the Yeomanry Cavalry. If these have cost the country but little, and if, therefore, but little be now remitted to the coun try, when it ceases from being obliged to contri bute its part towards the supply of them,: so much the better for the Yeoman: gains the more ; he gains all . the rest,' both of time and of money. But when, we ask, was - ever such a thing known before even in the.history of this sea-girt country, - as the disbanding ofa military force on the threatened commencement - -of—a- war ? This interrogatory ejaculation brings us to consider, for a moment, the nature of the menaced war itself. It is now for more than five years, that not only the people o untries in Europe, England, Eurve nhbvuet not poor Greeks, theboer:rl been hurling e Ipeoplee_kibyisn,fellow-Christians, je e l c h o or dear most bitter reproaches at their resp ec ti ve G overnors " f or suffering th , the f faith, but by the recollection of ancie n t ti mes an d early associations, to be oppressed and slaughter-. ed by a race of blind, barbarous, bigotted inti , dels.' At length the cause of the oppressed people is taken up by three of the chief Euro pean States: a treaty is formed, not to make them triumph over their masters, but only for their protection against absolute extermination. The Tory party of England are the authors - of the Treaty. In its announcetcent to the Turks by an united maritime force, capable of ensuring it execution, a battle takes place, begun by the Turks themselves. Is there any people of Eu rope, we ask, base enough to shrink from the consequences of such a battle, and to leave their Governors " in the lurch," after they had forced those Governors-to adopt measures which might lead to such a conclusion ? And above all, if there be a people so base, is that people the English ? We leave it to England itsei to an swer the question,---or rather we will answer it. We will answer it in the name of that heteroge neous new Opposition which is said to be spring ing up, and amalgamating contrarieties ! In the name of that Opposition we will say, " Yes, leave the Ministers in the lurch, now you have embarked them in the cause of humanity ! De sert the Greeks, whom you have affected to pity ! What matters it?---you will hot hear their cries ! you will not see their blood flow ! A people will be .extinguished—a race of' men will cease to exist ; but those by whom they will be exwr minated"will soon supply their place on the phy sical globe, and will more competently discharge all the charities of human life and commercial intercourse in that once-blessed region, by the gentleness of their manners, the purity of their faith, and the vivacity of their intellect'' This, we say, is the language of those who would ad vise us now to fly from the effects of the en gagements into which they plunged us. But, further, they would affect, we are told, to blame the battle of Navarin itself, from which such ha '. portant consequence may flow. Why, if we meant to stay the slaughter of the Greeks, we must at least, with our allies, exhibit a fin-ce ca pable of effecting the purpose. And this is the first time we ever head that a British squadron might not show itst where the. Turkish crescent was floating! H w was the 'battle to be avoided ? We did not begin it. Did Sir Ed ward Codrington frame his despatches for the occasion ? Did he write theist before the battle commenced ? He says that the . Turks fired at us repeatedly by muskets, and at last by a can non, before their shot was returned. Was he to submit to this? If he had so submitted, we hope he would have died on the quarter-deck like Byng; and even if he had submitted once, would not the insult and murder—fOr such they were—have been repeated by the Turks r Did he take them unprepared ? All was ready for the engagement on both sides, and they began l it. Or, if Codrington had receded, o ede: l l ' could he have imposed the same measure a the French airrid b d Reuenssi destroy e d ans ? Supposerat turned to England with his sq uadron safe, gird only a few men killed and wounded , how then would he have faced his country ? • How WOUkt his country have faced indignant Europe? But,or captured, they had and fought u he alone,a d on the contrary, he did not fight till he was forced to it ; and when engaged, 1 . tscharged his duty like a brave man. The consequence of this battle is, not war of a ceitaint • • y, but 1, most 'certainly war - or submission on the part of the Turks.— Times. • The Noble Duke who is now restored to the head of the Army is said to be every where assert ing the perplexity in which Ministers are involved by their approbation of the late battle. "We have them now : they are tied to the treaty by the red riband," (th e Order of the Bath sent out to Sir Edward Codrington for the battle of Na varin). It would be u ngracious to desert a brave man who had fought well in the cause of hu manity. But is not his Grace also p b o o s in i d ve , equally fast with Ministers, to the policy of which the battle of Navarin is the first result, by the seal which he affixed to the Treaty of St. Peters burgh ?—lbid.
