FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Saturday.) DAMASCUS IN SYRIA, JULY 7.—The cholera morbu s and the plague have ravaged Persia and Bagdad. At Bagdad 12,000 houses are shut up, the plague having swept away the inhabitants of them. In addition to this, two inundations of the Tigris have destroyed all the houses that were on the banks ; even a part of the ramparts of the city was carried away. The courier of the caravan to Mecca has arrived to-day. He announces that three quar ters of the pilgrims died of the cholera, during the three days they were at Mecca. PARIS, SEPT. S.-Tile Gulf of Salonichi is infested by pirates. Near Pannoni, a small Greek vessel was attacked and plundered by a bark which had thirty men on board; three passengers were wounded. At Tchozazi a Hydriot schooner was surprised by the pirates ; the Captain, at tempting to defend himself, was killed, with four of his crew : there remained only a sailor boy and an old man, both of whom were wounded. The vessel was completely plundered. It is reported that a schooner, hearing a Euro pean flag, has been sunk in those seas by the same pirates, who have two scampa-vial and a mystic. (From the Journal du Commerce.) Paws, SECT. 9.—The refusal of the Government of Haiti to ratify the treaties concluded at Paris in the month of March this year, has excited much alarm among the holders of the bonds of the loan which that republic contracted in Paris in 1825. The annals of the Ex change present but few examples of such a depreciation as that which this loan has undergone. A Haitian bond of 1,000 francs, hearing interest at 6 per cent., is sold for 200 francs, and besides this, the seller gives up the six coupons of erre irs of interest due and not paid on the Ist of July last,—this is equivalent to purchasing five francs annual interest with a capital of fourteen francs. The loan of the Spanish Cortes is now nearly at this price. But the Government of Haiti has never declared, like that of Spain, that it did not recognize its loan as valid : on the contrary, it has always affirmed that it looked upon it as a sacred debt, and desired nothing more ardently than, to fulfil its engagements towards the French, who placed confidence in it. It is therefore indispensable that the Government should 'acquaint the public with the real state of affairs relatively to the treaties which were con cluded with Haiti. Other interests no less important are connected with this affair, and suffer equally from the un certainty that prevails on the subject. M. faloilieu, the French Consul at Port-au-Prince, has been at Paris for this month past, and the Moniteur re mains silent. We know nothing more than what has been gathered from foreign Journals. Such a state of things cannot continue, and we have reason to be astonished no voice has yet been heard in the Chambers, to call on the Ministers to give on this subject the information promised in his Mjesty's speech at the commencement of the session. HAMBURG PAPERS. BERLIN, SEPT. 7.—The Prussian State Gazette of this date contains an article from the Russian head-quarters at Nadatzyn, of the 28th of August. It g ives an account of the defeat of a Polish pa rtisan named Gedroitz, with 600 men, by a detachment from Generallßudiger's corps. The General in his report, dated August 22, says that Gedroi , z had taken a position on his line of communica. tion with the Vistula, in order to interrupt a convoy of provisions expected from Lublin. Gedroitz himself, with IS officers and 105 yagers was taken prisoner. The remainder of his troops dispersed in the woods. General Baron Rosen writes, that according to his in structions he bad fallen back to Kaluszyn, where he learnt a strong division of the rebel army had passed over to the right bank of the Vistula. It appeared that the Polish troops were gone towards the Wkra. The main army remained in its positions. On the 27th the Poles at tempted a reconnoissance with four battalions and six squadrons, in which, the report states, they suffered some loss. General Knorring is stated to have entered Kalisch, amidst the rejoicings of the inhabitants. The civic au thorities and a great part of the population went out to meet Lim, and all classes hays expressed their satisfaction at be ing at length delivered from the oppression of the revolu tionary bands. General Knorring would not let his troops enter the town, but charged the National Guard to preserve tranquillity and order, and with this view armed 300 of them with pikes. The first two divisions of General Kreutz's corps joined the main army on the 26th and 2atli. The last divisions will join to-morrow. Pousit FRONTIZILS, Svvv. B.—We learn from the Lower Vistula, that a Polish corps, said to be from 5,000 to 6,000 strong, pressed forward towards the l itter part of last month, from Plock towards Osiek probably with a view to obtain possession of a Russian magazine situated there, and perhaps with the intention of crossing the Vistula by the bridge, and throwing themselves upon the rear of the Russian main army. The Russian General Ronne, who commanded the tete-de-pont at Osiek, deemed it prudent to convey the magazine to the other side of the river, and to destroy the bridge, by which means the at tempts of the Polish corps (which, in fact appeared the following morning) was defeated. Yesterday afternoon a cannonade was, indeed heard on the frontiers of Osiek, but since then all is quiet, and it is supposed that the Polish troops have retired ; especially as we bear that a large Russian force, from the Russian army of General Tolstoy, is on its march from Lithuania. From Kalisch, we learn that the Russian troops have quitted that city, and have directed their march towards Czentochow, in order to clear that part of the country of the detached parties of Polish insurgents. To guard Kalisch, about 150 men are left near the town, which may be advantageous, to the authority of the newly-appointed magistracy of that town, at the head of which is M. Sclimiedicke, a landowner, a man of highly respectable character, who is appointed president of the province. BERLIN, SEPT. S.-The Prussian Gazette of thisday contains the following article : POLISH FRONTIERs, SEPT. 4.—From the latest num bers that we have seen of the Warsaw Papers (from the 25th to the 28th of August), it appears that General Lubieeski is no longer at the head of the staff, but has obtained a separate command. Against General Dembinski, lately the object of general praise, the Warsaw Papers now contain very severe attacks. A proclamation has been issued by General Krukowiecki, in his character of Pre sident of the Government, declaring General Siupecki and Lessel, the confectioner, innocent of any participation in the counter-revolutionary conspiracy. The Deputy Krisinski has been appointed President of the Bank. Re specting military operations these papers contain nothing of importance ; but private accounts, which still require confirmation, speak of a sortie made by the Polish garri son of Warsaw, in consequence of which they succeeded in bringing considerable supplies into the capital. The Prussian State Gazette contains also another re port from the Russian head-quarters, but of older date than the preceding, being of the 28th of August. It contains in part what is already known. The following extracts will fill up a blank in the communications : " By the position of the Russian army, Warsaw, and the army of the insurgents concentrated there, are surrounded almost on every side, and deprived of all resources from the country; and not only from this side of the Vistula, but, by the advance of General Baron Rosen to Dembie- Vielki's aid, the opening of a communication with him by way of Karczew, from the other aide also, and only the province of Plozk is still open to it. In order to deprive it of this last source, from which it might obtain supplies, General Doklorow has been sent with a strong detach ment to the frontiers of Plozk, there to act as a parti san, and endeavour to cut off all communications with Warsaw from Plonk, by way of Modlin and Sigiz. In this state of things, and in expectation of Generals Kreutz and Rteliger, General Delos of the engineers is preparing fas eines, gabions, pallisadee, chevaux de frize, and other re quisites for storming the cit y , and at the same time scaling ladders are making in the several regiments. Gen. Rosen having advanced to Dembie-Wielki, made an attempt to pass the bridge between Warsaw and Praga, on the slight of the 19th of August, and draw up his troops on the heights of Wawr, with the intention of storming Praga at day-break, if the plan had succeeded, but though the bridge was set on fire, it was discovered before it spread far, and was extinguished in time. Gen. Rosen Laving failed in this attempt to withdraw as he was in structed, leaving only a detachment at Dembie-Wielki, he posted the remainder of his troops between Minsk and Ka luszyn, occupying both these places. He commnnicatea with the main army by means of the bridge of Karezew, and observes, by means of light corps, the whole country between the Bug and the Vistula. General Rudiger mean time has contrived to clear the country beyond the Piliza. Ruaycki, who commands there, had collected all the insurgents—eleven battalions, ten squadrons, and tight or ten cannon —but was driven by Rudiger with great loss through Koriskie into the forests. Rudiger, battening to join the main army, desisted from the pursuit, on which Rozycki c ollected about nine thousand men, ad vanced again, intending to support the partizan Gedroitz (mentioned in the other report), the latter being defeated. 17ozycki, followed by General Geismar, retreated to Ilza. Gens2ral Kreutz's corps, which is . at hand, consists of twenty-seven battalions, twenty-eight squadrons, and .ighty-two cannon. The whole will join the main atmy fr y the soth. The 10th division of infantry will pin on the Ist of September, and the remainder of Rudiger's corps three or four days later. " During all this time the insurgents have attempted no thing. The Field-Marshal on his side, however, to divert the attention of the enemy, and to give General Rosen time to retreat unmolested from Wawr, made on the evening of the 20th a reconnoissance, with a strong force, causing the troops of the van-guard, supported by the cavalry of Count Pahlen, to advance towards Rakow, by which the enemy's army was compelled to remain the whole night under arms. On the 21st, in the evening, the enemy showed a considerable force, and remained opposite the Russian van-guard, while with one battalion and three squadrons he occupied the village of Sluzewo, and sent a detachment of cavalry to Willanow. The object seems to have been to bring into the city a convoy of provisions from the villages on the banks. At nine o'clock in the morning the insurgents returned to Warsaw. On the the 22d, news was received at the Russian head-quarters that the insurgents had sent a considerable force to the right bank of the Vistula. It is said to consist of two divisions of infantry, with a due proportion of cavalry and artillery—in all, ten regiments of infantry, eight of cavalry, and eight companies of artillery, and to be de stined to proceed to Lithuania, leaving the defence of War- SITV to the National Guards and the remaining troops. But it is more probable that the object is only to obtain pro visions and forage, and at the same time to make an at tempt against General Rosen ; and, as occasion may offer, either to defeat him, or to compel him to retreat, and then hasten back to the defence of Warsaw. But should this corps really intend to proceed to Lithuania, it may pro bably expect the same fate as Gielgud and his troops. CRACOW, SEPT. I.—The Cracow Courier has an article with the motto nil desperandum, in which the present strength of the Polish army in the camp before Warsaw is estimated at 170,000 men, including the pospolite. The Polish army in the camp before Warsaw consists of 80,000 regular, and 50,000 irregular troops. ST. PETERSBURGII, Auc. 27.—Count Tolstoi, General of Infantry, has arrived here from Wilna. The object for which the army of reserve under that General was formed, having been accomplished by the destruction of the insur gents in Lithuania, the troops were ordered to be incor porated with the main army in Poland. CRAeOW, SEPT. I.—The evening before last, a Polish citizen now residing here, received a letter in which be was told, as a thing to be relied upon, that after Generals Turno and Milberg had obtained information of the ap proach of General Tolstoi's reserve corps, they attacked him on the other side of the Vistula, dispersed his corps, oid took from him 40 pieces of artillery, which were im- I mediately sent to Warsaw, by the road, on the other side of the Vistula, which remains open. This even is likely to exercise a very important influence on the turn of af fairs, for it is nearly evident that this alone has hitherto prevented Marshal Paskewitsch from giving tattle. At tached to General Tolstoi's reserve corps were important supplies of ammunition and other stores, a military chest, and a quantity of horses.—Cracow Courier. Rica, AUGUST 27.—Thanksgivings for the entire a's s ition of the cholera were celebrated here to-day in all the churches of the city and suburbs, and also in the English church, and by the Russian clergy in the Greek church on the Field of Mars. BERLIN.—CHOLERA.-To the 7th of September, at n.on, in all, cases, 67 ; recoveries, 2 ; deaths, 49 ; re. main, 36. - HAMBURG, SEPT. 9.—The Austrian Observer con tains a letter from Corfu, dated August 17, from which it appears that the spirit of insurrection in Greece against the Government of Capo d'lstrias has assumed a serious character. The insurgents appear to have made themselves masters of several ships of war belonging to the Greek Government, and to have defeated the Russian Admiral Ilicord, who attempted to reduce them to obedience. Sir F. Adam was on the point of leaving Corfu to return to England, via Ancona. BORSEN HALLE, FRIDAY, SEPT. 9, FOUR O'CLOCK.— The supply of Wheat and Rye has been again small.

Lettters from Constantinople of the 10th, and from Smyrna of the 3d ult., have been received to-day. They fully confirm the particulars of the loss occasioned by the dreadful fire at Pera on the 2d, by which the whole of that suburb has been destroyed. The hotel of the British em bassy, commonly called the " English Palace," has shared the fate of the other buildings, although it stood isolated in the centre of a very large garden, and at some hundred yards from the nearest house. This building was one of the most conspicuous, as well as the most striking in point of architectural symmetry, in Constantinople. It stood on the highest spot in Pera, and wes constructed in 1800, chiefly, we believe, at the expense of the late Levant Company, during the embassy of Lord Elgin, and on the model of his Lordship's seat near Edinburgh. its con struction cost about 40,000/. The piece of ground ou which it stood (about six acres) was made a pre sent by the then reigning Sultan, Selim, to the British Government. Its late destruction is attri buted in all the letters to neglect in closing the shutters on the side from which the wind blew and the fire raged, whereby red-hot nails and sparks had access to the furniture, and the fire had made great progress before it was discovered. It is said that the private loss sustained by Sir Robert Gordon by this ca lamity is equal to 4,0001. All the other English resi dents in Peru have been also sufferers to a greater or less extent. The cholera morbus had been raging some time in Constantinople, and cases of the plague still occurred occasionally. The former does not appear to have been of that fatal kind which has desolated other parts of Europe this summer. The exchange on England was 80 to at Constantinople, and 80 at Smyrna. We subj,,in an extract of a letter received by one of the principal houses engaged in the Turkey trade, which gives the fullest account we have seen of the late fire and its conse quences : " Constantinople, Aug. _lO, " I wrote to you ou the 4th instant, by a French cou rier, to give you tie distressing news of the total destruc tion of Pera and its adjoining villages by fire on the 2d. It commenced in the morning at least half a mile from Pera, towards St. Demetrius ; but the wind blowing a perfect gale, it soon reached the English Palace, and in the course of a few hours reduced all Pera into ashes, and from the large burial grounds outside of the town to the corner where Mr. M'Carthy lives, a distance of one mile and a half long, and one toile broad, not more than six or seven houses are left standing. The confl igration was awful in the extreme, and reilly appeared to have been sent as a just visitation. Not a Palace, except the Austrian, is saved ; and the large stone houses, hitherto considered fire-proof, shared the same fate as the wooden ones; indeed, their owners were worse, as every thing, instead of being r,moved, were for security left in the house and destroyed. In Mr. s.'s large stone house the property lost is immense, and left Mr. 11. and the young K.'s without a shirt. The house I lived in is safe, the fire having stopped a few doors from ft. At the least 3,000 to 4,000 houses must be burnt, and fully one half of all the Para families totally ruined. I consider this a final blow to Pera, and do not expect to see it rebuilt. We must now live as well as we can in the country and give up our winter halls. We have made up our minds to pass the winter at Therapia, where we shall be able to warm our house pretty well. We shall have seine comfortable rooms in our warehouse at Galata, where we shall dine and sleep when busy, and when not, return to Therapia, which I expect to be able to do almost every time I go down. We have given up all idea of making ourselves as comfortable as we were before, and we do not intend to have again any expensive things in our house, as we are now convinced that the uncertainty attending every thing in this country should make every body ready for a start at a short notice. Misfortunes never come alone, and in this country one passes from the height of com fort and happiness to the greatest anxiety and distress. We have now had the plague among us for the last month, which has been followed by the cholera rnorbus, and whilst every body is thinking of running to the country, cornea this dreadful fire, and leaves upwards of 20,000 souls houseless. From rniaery, want, exposure to the sun, and damp air, numbers of these sufferers have been attacked with a species of cholera, which has caused great mortality in the town, particularly in Galata, and near the arsenal. At Therapia and the adjoining villages there is also a similar disease,—•vie., violent spasms in the stomach, vomiting, and cold extremities, with very great pain. Perhaps in the last four or sve clays nearly SO have been seized in this way in the village,but, by instantaneous bleeding and warm applications, all have recovered. But in town there is no doubt that a great many have died of the real cholera. Mr. W. loses his own house, and part of his furniture ; Mr. E. nearly all his furniture ; Mr. S. all ; Mr. B. all ; Mr. P. all ; Mr. J. but little, except a year's rent ; Mr. M. part of his funiture ; Mr. C. all ; Mr. B. all ; Mr. L. all. From all the Ambassadors' Pa laces not a single thing was saved ; and our own Ambas sador loses about 4,0001. in diamonds, plate, &c., belong ing to himself, besides all the Government things. In fact, nobody was in town to shut the iron shutters of the stone houses, or to throw a little water on the roofs of the I' daces, or it would have been impossible for them to have been burnt."

'EPI?ESENTATION F TOWNS, &c.) ing to the Census of IS2I and ngland exceeding a Population tended by the Reform Bill to does not appear at all founded in fact, or in any motives which the Conference may rea sonably be supposed to entertain as regards that country. What indeed can be more extra ordinary than the notion that Russia, Prussia, and Austria have been parties to the demolition of the fortresses, with the view to the aggran dizement of France? Assuredly if this be the case the great Powers act upon the principle of loving their enemies to an extent that must satisfy the ultra-Christian Bishop of LONDON himself. It is to be hoped that no pains will be spared in effecting the organization of an army that may supply the place of that paper-force, whose want of organization and union, when called on to act, LEOPOLD has so much reason to lament. The Civic Guards of Belgium were very well behind the barricades of Brussels, but were no more calculated to repel the veterans of Holland, than the French National Guard is to stand against that fine army which the King of PRUSSIA is assembling on the Rhine. The failure of the raw Belgians ought to be a warn ing to France of what may befall her, when the hour is come for the Northern Powers to pour down into her gay valleys. The result of the elections has shown that the rumours of the revival of Orangeism were without foundation, and that the strongest party in Belgium is that which may properly be called the national one, as being the most zealous for the conservation of the national independence. The Clergy naturally belong to this class ; and these are, in truth, the most obvious reasons for their disinclination towards a country where the Church is a state of greater debase ment than in anv other country in Europe. The Belgians are, we trust, on the eve of accomplish ing their freedom and peace, and, when these are secured, they can have no reasonable motive for seeking to merge their independence in a nation like France, which does not possess half so much constitutional liberty, nor any thing like so fair a prospect of internal tranquillity, as her more humble neighbour. The German Papers contain scarcely any news worthy of comment. The Allgemeine Zeitung alludes to a species of spasmodic, not Oriental, cholera, which has reached Vienna, and which has already occasioned one or two deaths. By all accounts the Austrian capital is prepared for the reception of the dreadful pes tilence. The Austrian Observer speaks of some discontents that have shown themselves in the Greek islands towards the Government of Count CAPO DISTRIAS VIENNA, Aug. 31.—His Majesty the Emperor, who, with the Empress and other members of the Imperial fa mily, came yesterday from Schonbrunn to the Palace in our capital, visited, in the afternoon, the works and build. ings, &c. that have been ordered between the city and the suburbs, in order to give employment to the labourers who are without work : they alto visited several of the houses that have been fitted up as hospitals in case the cholera should penetrate to that city, where the Emperor—who is indefatigable in his paternal exertions for the welfare of his subjects—examined all the arrangements in the minutest manner, and informed himself of every particular. In the evening their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, the King and Queen of Hungary, and the other Members of the Imperial Family, honoured with their presence the Burg Theatre, where a play was performed for the benefit of those inhabitants of this capital which the present state of things has red used to a state of distress. The theatre was crowded, and the audience, who seemed quite in rap ture at seeing their beloved Sovereign and his family among them, welcomed them with an enthusiasm which baffles description. This morning, the Emperor has given audience as usual in the Imperial palace. VIENNA.—The Austrian Observer of Sept. 1, says : —The more suspicious cases of sickness and death that have occurred within these few days at Vienna, are to be classed according to the medical reports, not under the oriental, but the spasmodic cholera. The medical report in the case of gleonora Knott, a girl of eighteen, daughter of a almem a kif, who lately died at Heiligenstadt, is to the same effect. CORFU, AUG. 17. —From the Austrian Observer:— " The discontent with the Government, and especially with the President Capo which has long prevailed in the Greek islands, has now broken out into open revolt. The Hydriots (according to private letters, under the im mediate direction of Miaulis have seized the frigate Hellas, and other Greek ships at Purse. Private letters say, that on this occasion an action took place between the Greek ships and, a Russian man - of - war , in which the Greeks were victorious, and it is also said that the insur gents had obliged the troops to retire, sent by Count Capo distrias to Poros with the loss of eighty men. The latest news of the Universal Gazette of Greece, dated July 22, (Aug. 3) which has been received here, contains the foi -1 goin 1 w• circular of the President to the Governors of the several provinces "An audacious enterprise has lately been executed at Hydra, which c haracterises the sentiments of the inha bitants of that island. They sent 300 seamen to Poros, who appeared unexpectedly, and, in the manner of rob bers, seized on the Hellas frigate, which lay dismantled in the harbour. The Government applied for succour to the commanders of the naval forces of the allied Powers new here, and immediately sent troops to Poros to suppress the disorder in its birth. At this critical mo ment, however, only Admiral Ricard was at Napoli, who, at the invitation of Baron Ruckmann, the Russian resi dent, immediately proceeded to Poros with all the ships under his command. Notice of this event was immedi ately given also to the residents of France and England, sad the assistance of the French and English ships ' is hoped for, as soon as the Commanders shall be infortned of this application of the Government. This is the pre sent state ; we reckon, however, on an issue favourable to the maintenance of order and tranquillity : otherwise the nation will employ other means. We do not doubt, however, that the prudence of the inhabitants of Greece, and the zeal of the authorities, will lead to a happy termi nation. We inform you of thew circumstances, that you may be able to dispel all fears, and to prove how ground less are all the reports that are spread by the ill-disposed to delude our peaceable citizens. The President, IL CAPO D'ISTRIAS. " Napoli, 18th (30th) July, 1831." The sante number of the Greek Gazette cont tins also the following answer of Messrs. Dawkins and Ruckmann to the application made to them by the President : S lft ,—We hasten, conformably to the application of your Excellency, to declare that our respective Govern tnents attach the highest importance to the preservation of order and tranquillity in Greece, and to the maintenance of the provisional state of affairs that is introduced there. " We lament and highly disapprove the insurrectionary movement at Poros, and hope that in the absence of the French resident, and of the commanders of the French and English squadron, this declaration will suffice to re cal to their duty the chiefs who have taken part in the revolt. We have taken this opportunity to offer to your Excellency the tribute of our profound respect. " Baron Von RUCKMANN. " DAWKINS. " Napoli, July 20 (Aug. 1, 1831.") Sir F.

In the House of Commons last night, after a brief, desultory discussion of a foolish motion by Colonel SIBTHORPE (which was lost), on the subject of the Times newspaper, Mr. K. DOUGLAS, on the question for going into Com mittee on the Sugar Refining Bill, moved an amendment, to the effect that the Committee should take into consideration the state ments, &c., submitted to the Board of Trade, on the state of the British West Indian colonies. The Hon. Member, after a few ob servations from Mr. P. THOMPSON, Lord AL THORP, and Mr. ROBINSON, ultimately with drew his amendment in favour of one proposed by Mr. BURGE, that the Foreign Sugar Re fining Act be referred to a Select Committee. This second amendment was lost by a majority of four. The report was at length ordered to be received this day. The Speech of the KING of the Belgians in our Journal of yesterday, if it contains little worthy of peculiar remark, does not appear to have omitted any of the topics that are upper most in the situation of the new kingdom. After a modest allusion to his own favourable reception in his adopted country, LEOPOLD con gratulates his subjects on their prospect of en joying a greater degree of liberty than any nation in Europe, when the Constitution shall have been perfected by the settlement of the Laws of the Press, of Juries, of Elections, and of several others of too special a nature to hare been included in the short summary of law which forms the present fundamental Charter of Belgium. This Constitution is founded upon the principles of Government recog nized by those familiar with that science, and we strongly recommend its careful perusal to such as continue to sneer at the Belgic revo lution, and to call it the illegitimate offspring of the three days of Paris. We are satisfied that the benefits reaped by the Belgians have been in finitely more substantial than those yet attained by the French, and think King LEOPOLD has not exulted in the freedom of his people more than he had just reason to do. The demolition of the Belgic fortresses having been determined on by the Conference previous to the assistance rendered by the French troops, his MAJESTY'S expression that " Belgium will on this occasion give a proof of its gratitude to France," must be considered as rather figurative than exact. Those fortresses would have been demolished whether occasion had or had not arisen for a feeling of thankfulness from Bel gium to France ; and although, whilst time work of demolition is proceeding, the late e v e nts will be a new memorial of the incongruity of a line of forts between friendly territories, yet it should not be forgotten that it was the alteration in the political circumstances of Europe which deter mnined the Conference to put an end to those smperfluous houses of war. The argument of the Morning ,Post, that the demolition is nei ther more nor less than " as a boon to France," HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat this morning at half-past ten o'clock to bear Scotch appeals. The Lords in attendance were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord SELKIRK, and the Bishop of CoRK. S,EACICENZIE V. HOUSTON. Their Lordships were occupied the greater part of the morning with the arguments of Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE, on behalf the appellant in this case, the principal ques tion in which was the exclusive right of the appellant to fish in the river Shinn, in the county of Sutherland. The Learned Serjeant had not concluded his argument when our reporter left. NEW PEERS. In the course of the morning the following new Peers were introduced and took the oaths and their seats.

William Packham, aged 38, a respectable-looking man, was indicted for embezzling 25., the property of his master, Mr. Thomas Watney, a corn-dealer, in Weymouth mews, Weymouth-street, Alarylebone. The prisoner was found Guilty. A man who was called to swear that the prisoner had paid his master the 25., was committed to Newgate for wilful and corrupt perjury, the Jury stating they did not believe his evidence. James Robinson, a respectable-looking young man, 20 years of age, who had for some time been in the service of Messrs. Cha►les James East and Henry Vigurs East, ex tensive woollen-drapers, and who, on the second day of the present Sessions, pleaded Guilty to three indict ments, charging bim with stealing various quantities of woollen-cloth, &c. &c., the property of his em ployers, amounting to nearly 10001., was this morning placed at the bar on six other indictments, charging him with stealing large quantities of cloth upon other occAsions to the amount of about 1,000/. To these latter indict ments he pleaded Not Guilty. The floor of the Court was covered with an immense quantity of goods. Robinson, together with Richard Martin, a tailor, of No. 48, Hans Place, Sloane-street, were placed at the bar on the first indictment, which charged the former with stealing goods on the 16th August, to the amount of 43:3/. and the latter with receiving, knowing it to be stolen, a part of the property to the amount of 3151. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case for the prosecution. George Elridge stated, he was porter to Messrs. East, wholesale mercers and woollen drapers in Leicester-square. The prisoner Robinson was in their employment also. Wit ness slept in the shop, Robinson usually came to the shop between six and seven o'clock in the morning. Mr. East, one of the partners, general came down stairs about nine o'clock to business, and occasionally came into the shop before that time. Robinson sometimes employed witness to take out parcels before eight o'clock in the morning. He took one or two to a coffee-shop in St. Martin's lane by Robinson's direction ; one was directed " James Robinson," but he could not recollect whether the others were directed to any person or not. Robinson sometimes said the parcels contained his dirty linen. Witness had the curiosity to tear the paper of one parcel, which he was directed to leave at a baker's shop, in Bury-street, St. James's, and he found it contained brown kerseymere. When lie returned he told Robinson that that parcel did not contain his linen, and he made some evasive reply. Robinson at times also went out with parcels in the mornings before Mr. East came down. Witness some times asked him what he was taking out, and he said they were his clothes, which he was taking to be mended, and at other times he said they were his linen going to be washed. Witness left Messrs. East in March last, and was succeeded by a porter named John King. Cross-examined by Mr. Anonrous for the prisoner Ro binson—Witness looked only into one parcel out of the many he took out, and he only tore a coiner of the parcel. Witness could not tell whether that was entirely lull of kerseymere, nor could he say that the others did not con tain dirty linen. Witness had then no suspicion that Ro binson was stealing any property. John King, who succeeded the preceding witness as por ter to the prosecutors, stated that Robinson had several times sent him out with parcels before Mr. East came down stairs in the morning. In consequence of some suspicion, the witness communicated with Mr. East upon the subject, and soon afterwards Robinson was taken into custody. Cross-examined--Witness was about five months in Messrs. East's service before Robinson was taken up. Henry Vigurs East, one of the prosecutors, stated, that he carried on the business of woollen driper and man's mercer, at No. 53, Leicester-squre. Rubinson was in his employment on the 17th of August last. On that morning witness received information from the last wit ness, which induced him to call in Clements, a Marl borough-street officer. Clements and witness went into the counting•house, and sent for Robinson. Witness asked Robinson where he lived; he hesi tated considerably, and the question was repeated ; he then replied, " No. 3, Upper St. Martin's-lane." Wit ness sent a sbopman there to inquire if that was true, but found it was not ; the prisoner was again asked where he lived, and he replied, " I have done nothing wrong, and shall not tell you." Witness then said, " James, I have been seriously robbed, and I am determined to find out the thief." He said, " I have never robbed you of sixpence." He was again asked where be lived, and he replied, " Come with me to my brother and I will tell you." Wit ness gave him in charge to the officer, and then he gave an address, No. 12, Bennett-street ; Clements took hitn to the police-uffice. On searching the prisoner a bunch of keys was taken from him. In consequence of subsequent inquiries witness accompanied by an officer, went to No. 4S, Hans place, Slosne-street, kept by the other prisoner (Martin), whom he found there. Witness asked Martin to show him Robinson's room ; he said it was locked, but he took the witness and the officer to the room, which was the back attic, and which be found to be open. Clements applied some of the keys found upon Robinson to the cupboard, boxes, and trunks and opened them. In the boxes were found several articles of witness's wearing apparel, some account books, and a banker's cheque book. The account books and cheque book were witness's. In the closets were quantities of silks, kerseymeres, cloths, umbrellas, anti a great variety of other things, all the property of the witness and his partner. The prisoner Martin was in the room when this discovery was made. Upon going down stairs witness asked Martin if he had bought any goods of Robinson ; he replied yes, he had bad considerable dealings with him, and he added, he be lieved he owed Robinson betweeen 4001. and 500/. Wit ness asked to see the articles Martin had bought of Robin s o son apki atrtne ; ns tttetsoi lN ivi ,y l etdoo a nt o r : : t fetei ~htnngi threer eofa oo7s a erdi d semn,adp a i onanp l Nnd l uvee edna t hby l r. e t ehe a nwd t e trivsoee, no showedet, .nxiaaee expected eesitei la jhte,a o eea,cn u dnst g : tte l dtl t of witness.

The goods shown by Martin, as having been purchased of Ro binson, were the property of the witness arid his partner. The goods found in Robinson's room, belonging to witness, were oftthe value of about 2001. Those which were found in Martin's possession were worth upwards of 3001. Cle ments, the officer, were present during the whole of this time. Martin was a master tailor, but there was no shop belonging to the house. Cross-examined by Mr. AnoLertus—The other partner was the witness's father, but he has no share of the busi ness. Witness pays his father an income out of the busi ness, which was a fixed sum, not depending on the amount of the profits. Witness only knew that the apartment in Martin's house was occupied by Robinson, from what Martin said. Witness had not heard that Robinson lived elsewhere. Witness never saw any of the goods found in Martin's house in Robinson's possession, nor did he ever miss any of them from his shop. Besides the witness, there was his brother and the two shopmen who sold goods in the shop. Witness only knew the goods were not regularly sold by their not being entered in his books, and it being the practice to take off the shop marks when they were sold—many of these goods were found with those marks upon them. Several other witnesses were examined, after which the Jury acquitted Martin, and found Robinson guilty of stealing property of a less value than 5/, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS o.l' PROM LLOYD'S. , rhe DEAL, SEPT. 14.—Wind N.W. moderate.-- -5- , joir ward bound have sailed for the river, viz., the CeP c l o # 4 son, from Ceylon ; Bolton, Clarkson, from Bombay' 00' Ormston, from Madeira ; Scio, from the Mediterri fr os Charles Brooke, Bell, from St. Vincent ; the Mediterranean ; and Queen, Fox, from St. I‘ l '` STANDGATE CREEK, SEPT. 12.—Arrived th e t y, Jusk, from Archangel; Climox, Lough, from St. burgh ; Maria, Laing, from Dantzic ; Maria, 'Xi ° Grufswold ; Sarah Ann, Gimming, from Kiel. /g ot ABERDEEN, SEPT. 10.—Arrived the Sylvan'' from Archangel. i Pts o6l l 6 DROUGHTY ROADS, SEPT. 10.--Arrived the - Young, from Archangel ; Confidence, Wesley, anti , Duff, from St. Petersburgh ; and James, LOW"' Duff, tiO ST.
