SPIRIT or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Lord 'William Bentinck, it is finally settled, goes out to India. Whoever recollects his Lord ship's services in the Mediterranean, and his honourable and manly conduct when he could not serve his country, will augur well of the ap pointment. The public will be aware that the nomination does not wholly rest with Ministers : the Company itself, through its Directors, have a negative voice. We believe that when a cer tain Ministry had appointed, or would have ap pointed, the present Lord Lauderdale Gover nor-General, no power upon earth could induce the Directors to take him. They would not have him at any rate. Their indignation at the sound of his name was something like that of a man , who, when he is expecting to inhale the perfume of the rose of Sharon, suddenly finds the carrion-flower rudely thrust up against his organ of smell. It is not altogether singular, perhaps, that the probable author of that abor tive appointment, and his elegant protege, should now be acting in concert against a Mi nistry by whom so very different a nomination has been made.--Times. The return of the quarter's revenue, and the new measure adopted by the Bank for the re duction of discounts, furnished an ample field for discussion in to-day's money-market. The surplus of this quarter over the corresponding quarter of 1826 is so much less than had bee n anticipated, as to create in many quarters a feel ing of disappointment. There are circumstances however, not apparent on the face of th e re t urn , but which ought in fairness to be taken into the account, which make it much better evidence than it seems to be of a substantial improvement in the condition of the country. At the corres ponding financial period of last year, affairs were, it cannot be denied, in a most desperate and alarming state. Th e system at the Treasury —now, we trust, altered for the better—then was to keep people in the dark as to the real condition of the revenue, which was consequently bolstered up by every device and shifting expe dient ; and one effect of that temporizing policy is, that as the public were ignorant of the real dan ger, they are now equally uninformed of the real improvement that has occurred. In the July quarter of 1826 took place that memorable ,‘ contortion" (a term, which at the time was applied very felicitously to it) of the tea duty, which we then duly exposed, by which a real deficiency of more than a million was made to appear less than half a million. The contingency of the general election, which happened in that quarter, further served to conceal the weak ness of the national resources. It follows, there fore, that on a fair comparison of the permanent sources of revenue existing at both periods, there is now a genuine and very considerable surplus to be carried to the credit of the Treasury. It is sincerely to be hoped that this is but the com mencement of an era of steady prosperity, although the late calamities are still too recent to allow the reflecting merchant and banker to look forward to the future with perfect confidence. It will be observed, from inspection of the return of income and charge on the Consolidated Fund for the July quarters of 1826 and 1827, that a diminu tion had taken place in the amount of deficiency bills to be provided for by the growing produce of the approaching quarter, while that amount in 1826 was augmented. From this it may be in ferred that the Treasury has been supplied with means by the sale of Exchequer-bills to the Bank, the slight difference between the revenue for the two quarters not being adequate to the reduction of the deficiency bills without further assistance. - There need be no expectation, there fore, especially if the revenue continues to im prove, that the Minister will come into the open money-market for any aid whatever during the present year. There is another view of the pre sent financial return, suggested by an intelligent friend, which ought not to be lost sight of: we mean that to be taken in reference to Mr. Can ning's statement on the delivery of the budget. He then took into his calculation a certain de ficiency in the revenue for the present year as compared with the last. Any improvement, therefore, which takes place lessens the amount of that deficiency, and supposing the revenue only to keep up to its present rate of production, a grea t portion of that deficiency will van ish before the end of the year. If the Minister formed his estimate on a defalcation of about half a million in each quarter, an equal return places him to the extent of that sum in a better financial position ; while any actual surplus, however small, will tell further in his favour. The quarter ending the sth of April last was de ficient little less than half a million, compared with the corresponding quarter of 1826 ; but this quarter gives a surplus of 40,0001.; the im provement in this quarter, therefore, taking the official returns as they stand, and without any regard to their intrinsic merits, may be stated at 500,000/. The incidents connected with the sudden determination which emanated yesterday from tie Bank parlour, creep out by degrees, but are still very imperfectly disclosed. It was reported this morning, that some of the elders of the direction have taken such serious offence at the carrying of the measure for reducing the rate of discount, in opposition to their declared will and pleasure, that they have resolved on retiring from all management of the affairs of the Bank ; but the truth of this rumour, with all the inquiry we have been able to make, is far from being well established, and even if they h a ve adopted Such a determ in ation, a little more reflection Bankon the good things which are placed by the direction within their reach may induce them to alter it. The mortification of the party at their defeat is, however, extreme. Subjection to the will of a certain junta at the Bank has so long been established as a rule within its walls, that any deviation from it seems little short of rebel lion, or, at all events, to amount to rank ingra titude. Having assumed, among other exer tions of power, that of naming without con troul all those on whom the honour of a seat in the direction was to be conferred, they ex pected, as a matter of course, implicit obedience to lay to all the principles they were pleased down for the government of the Bank. It is strongly suspected, that out of the last batch o f noviciates, in the selection of whom a peculiarly careful regard was had to the maintenance of the system, the active opposition has arisen which has forced on them the measure for the reduction of discounts. The successful party, on the other hand do not affect to conceal the gratification they feel at their triumph. The tone of exultation with which some of them announced it to their friends when the meeting broke up, could not be mistaken. They contrived, it is a ffi rmed (though we wish to repeat with becoming doubt all we hear respecting so se. cret a conclave), to take their opponen ts c omp letel y by surprise. The sure majority which had been calculated upon was broken by the inopportune ab sence of two of the senior members from town, and their defeat was sealed. An attempt has been made this morning rather industriously, to spread the no-, xi= that a new muster of forces and a new discus- Owl may yet take place, and the resolution of yes terday be cancelled, but it is quite evident that the matter has gone too far to recede. Such a retroces sion would cover the Board with ridicule, and pro claim to the world as true all that surmise and ru mour are circulating as the secret history of the pro ceedirgs of the Bank parlour. A tolerable number of believers will still be found; but at present all may, if it is thought proper, be denied. A ques tion, which connects itself very naturally with the preceding statement, was much argued to-day in the city, viz.—Do or do not Bank Directors, who ac quire, virtzde gfficii, such important secrets, specu late in the funds ? No measure could be devised so certain as the reduction of the rate of discount to produce an improvement in the value of Government securities. The experience of what occurred at the last reduction has established that as an almost in fallible consequence; and the money-market has been, since the rising of Parliament, in a state of ex citement, which must have rendered the effect, if possible, still more certain. From the Bank parlour to the Stock Exchange is but a step ; time bargains to the amount of millions might in a few minutes be effected, and a large profit, or even a splendid for tune, become the necessary consequence. We are far from affirming that Bank Directors do speculate in the funds. Such a fact could only be disclosed by a breach of confidence on the part of the broker employed, who, if he could commit that crime, would be a bad evidence, and little worthy of belief at all. It is only proper that the nature of the temptation to which the Bank Directors are exposed should be well understood, in order that if they do not specu late, they may obtain the full credit due to their for bearance. If the general opinion in the city is against them, it argues as much for the depressed state of moral feeling there as for the supposed crimi nality of the Directors.—lbid. The advancement of Lord Binning to the Peerage, by the title of Baron Melros (as an nounced in our paper of Tuesday last,) our rea ders will see, is confirmed by the London Ga zette of last night. When allusion to this and some other intended creations (which will doubt lessly soon follow), was made by Mr. Hume in the House of Commons, Mr. Canning declared the report to be " not only wild and idle, but at the same time most mischievous—circulated, as he well knew, to create that very mischief—a re port in which there was not one syllable of truth." Let the veracity of this solemn assertion be judged of by the official statement in a preced ing part of our paper of this day. Lord Bin ning being raised to the Peerage under the very title we some days ago announced ! ! When, in the first instance, we ventured to express a doubt in regard to the assertion of Mr. Can ning, that " there was not a syllable of truth in the report of the day," we were most vigorously assailed by some of our cotempo raries, who in terms the most unceremonious re peated from authority the positive contradiction of the Prime Minister! For the present we deem it unnecessary to offer " a single syllable" of com ment upon this candid and most honourable species of conduct on the part of the Prime Minister of England and his obedient supporters. But we should deem it a dereliction of what we feel to be our bounden duty, did we not again call public at tention to the subject, and endeavour to prepare the friends of the Constitution in Church and State for the obviously meditated attempt to undermine the Protestant strength, by the introduction among the Peers of men who will be ready to act upon the Catholic Question, in a manner congenial to the views and wishes of Mr. Canning and his Whig Radical Associates in power.—Morning Post. In another part of our paper will be found the quarterly and yearly statement of the revenue, by which it will be seen that on the last quarter, as compared withthe corresponding quarter in 1826, there has been a trifling increase—say 4.5,0001.; but this has been brought about by the Custom house duties for the quarter for 1827 having been better by 200,0001_ th m -fca ItSZO. In the Excise, 2 +amps, and the Post-office there has been a fallin g off. The latter defalcation does not look well. 'faking the account by the year, there appears to have Ileen a falling off of about one million. We suspectea, when we read Mr. Canning's financial speech, that there would be this quarter nothing to boast of so far as the re venue was concerned, for we thought at the time he made his speech, and mentioned it then, that if there had been, he would have been ready enough to have made it a principal feature of his speech. With the present revenue, and consi dering that the fallacious addition to the revenue derived from Lord Bexley's 'locus pocus or dead weight contrivance, will fall off, in rather a rapid ratio, every year, till at length there will be, on that account, no revenue at all ; but on the con- trary, more to pay than there will be to receive —we do not see how the present expences of the Government and the interest for the debt are to be provided for, and any Sinking Fund left for the purpose of paying off any part of the debt. The interest of the debt will, therefore, have to be reduced—or the expences of the Government will have to be lessened—that is, provided the revenue continues merely as it is. This statement does not include Ireland. The revenue of the lat ter country has been for some time on the increase, and our opinion is, and has been, that the revenue of Ireland will go on increasing. We hope that it may, and that what we may lose from English re venue, we may make up by Irish revenue. This, however, would be rather singular after the outcry that has been heard for a great length of time past, in Dublin and other places in Ireland, respecting the poverty-stricken state of that country. But as we have repeatedly mentioned, we believe that Ireland will gradually, but eventually supersede, compara tively, Great Britain as a manufacturing country; and it is highly probable, that in proportion as ma nufactures are established in Ireland, so will her re venue be increased. If we had money to speculate with in land, we would rather speculate with it in Ireland than in England—for Ireland, we think will be the rising country , At the same time, ab senteeism operates materially against her.—Morning &raid. It is equally out of place to blame or to praise the conduct of the Bank Directors for lowering the rate of discounts from five to four per cent., as announced by our City Correspondent yester day. It is evident that in coming to that reso lution, they are followers, not leaders. The fall of discounts is a necessary consequence of the fall of interest generally, and to the same cause we may attribute the rise of Government Se curities. We cannot say, that we contemplate either withoth some anxiety. We cannot for get that at the beginning of our troubles, two years ago, the same appearances were observable. The terrible lesson that has been read to the public will, it is probable, prevent the recurrence of such utter wildness of company speculation, as was witnessed in 1825; we wish, though our confi dence on that head is not so strong, that it may equally repress the extravagance of private spe culation. Our contemporary, the illorntng Chronicle, opinion, that the measures adopt alb by is of the Banie will tend to heighten prices, teasily procured, merchants are when e ca t u h s ebettera m bl o entey is to hold their goods. But a little reflection will show, that facility in procuring money, enables merchants to manufacture goods, as well as to hold them ; and that what encourages trade, ne cessarily produces reduction of prices. Our only fear is, that by enabling men to obtain credit, who ou ght not to obtain it, and thus creating a competi tion of fictitious, in addition to the competition of real capital, which has already reduced the prate of-the manufacturer and merchant to a minimum— the lowering of the discounts may lead to a glutted market, and ruinously low prices. Much will, how ever, depend on the caution of the Bank ; low dis counts are not injuriouv, unless they are inconsi derately granted.—New Times. We have reason to think that the negocia tions which have for some time been carrying on between the Emperor of Brazil and the Govern ment of Buenos Ayres, under the auspices of Lord Ponsonby, are now very far advanced ; and it is probable the late battle in Rio Grande, in which both parties have suffered considerably, without any decisive result having been obtained by either, may tend to hasten the return of peace, by impressing both parties with the im policy of exhausting their resources in so unpro fitable a contest. We certainly should be glad to hear that hostilities had ceased on the eastern bank of the River Plate. That district has been the theatre of anarchy and desolation nearly ever since its independence was declared, and during that period the inhabitants have been the victims of many outrages. Our readers, however, may per haps be surprised when we inform them, that it is most likely they will now pass under the immediate protection of Great Britain, and that an Administrar tion will be instituted for them, similar to the one we have in the lonian Islands. We must, never theless, confess, that there is one material difficulty yet to be overcome, and this is—how the Brazilians are to be repaid for the sums of money they have expended in keeping possession of a country which they originally entered as pacificators, and have since retained under the plea of preventing the contagious spread of anarchy.—Morning Chronicle.

CoeroN._There was little doing in Cottons this week, on account of the India sale. The East India Company's sale of Cotton this day, consisting of 12,850 bales, did not attract a large attendance of buyers ; it opened steadily for Surat at the same prices as by private, the desire to pur chase rather increasing as it proceeded ; the Bengals went off less equally at a decline of id. to id. per lb. from previous rates ; the buying was equally divided between the trade, exporters, and speculators.

This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 201., purporting to be dated the 14th of December, 1826, accepted by the defendant, drawn by one Latham, payable at two months' date to his own order, and endorsed by him to the plaintiff. Mr. TALFOURD opened the pleadings. Mr. CHITTY, in stating the case said, that the plaintiff being apprehensive some tricking defence would be resorted to, had declared upon the two previous bills, though the demand was only upon the last bill. Latham owed the plaintiff 951., a nd in payment gave him, in April, 1826, five bills for 191. each, accepted by the defendant. Three of these bills were paid, but the other two being dis honoured, the plaintiff by his attorney applied to the defendant, who paid him .5/. on account, and promised that Latham should make a further pay ment, and give a fresh bill for the remainder. In consequence of this arrangement, some further money was paid, and Latham in last December gave a bill for 201. to the plaintiff's attorney, who disco vering it to be written upon a wrong stamp, returned it, and obtained the bill on which the action is brought. What defence there was, he Mr. Chitty was at a loss to guess. At all events, if the present bill were inoperative, notice had been given to the defendant to produce the two former bills, which the plaintiff's attorney had delivered up on receiving the present bill, and as those bills, if not produced, could be proved, to them he could have recourse. Mr. Smith, examined by Mr. TALFOURD, proved the handwriting of the defendant as acceptor, and of the plaintiff as drawer and endorser, of the bill which witness received from Latham. The bill was put in and read. The officer read it " Bath, Dec. 14, 1826." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defence, said that it was an accommodation bill. Verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 201. 12s. 6d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 6. THLITPS d. MAILICILA,I7. AND °TIMES. Mr. Sergeant TADDY stated that the plaintiff in this action sought to recover 1,2001., the balance of an account due to him from the three defendants, for work_ bulldcs . "tliv arrend ants did not dispute the value of the work, but said they were not responsible alone for the amount, but only in conjunction with upwards of four hundred other persons. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the defendants, said they were members of the Royal Navy Club, which consisted of about 450 persons of distinction and eminence in the navy. These gentlemen, for their greater accommodation, resolved to build a house in Bond-street, and the plaintiff was employed by them for that purpose, a contract being entered into be tween him and the members of the Club, dated June 13, 1825. The plaintiff finished the house, receiving payment of considerable sums at different times from the Club ; but a balance of 1,200/. still remained due. This sum he applied for several times during the last six months, but was not paid by the Club, who requested time to i n spect the work pre v i ous t o this final payment. This was acceded to by the plaintiff; but a short time afterwards, Admiral Maitland, with the two other defendants, were very much astonished to find themselves arrested on the suit of th e plaintiff, for the payment of this one thousand two hundred pounds. The only question for the Jury was, w hether the contract was made individually with the defendants, or with the whole Club. To prove that it was with the whole Club, it would only be necessary to pro duce the contract itself; but the very bill on Which the present amount was claimed was made out.— " The Gentlemen of the Royal Navy Club to Thos. Phipps," and the receipts given for the previous payments were written—" Received of the Gentle men of the Royal Navy Club." Thus at once show ing that he considered himself employed by the whole Club. He should now only call the Secretary to the Club, to prove of whom it consi s ted, and who were its members. The Secretary was then called, who proved, that on the 13th of June, 182.5, the Club consisted of 450 members, one of whom was since dead. Some difficulty now arose between the Learned Counsel as to the payment of costs, when it wa' finally agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff for 2,0001., subject to a reference.

GUILDHALL.—MATeImoimmAmong the crowd of applicants who thronged round the table, yesterday, in the hope of getting their private griefs redressed by the Alder man, was a pale, sickly, little man, dressed in red. He had no coat, but he wore a red waistcoat with red sleeves, and his breeches were of red plush, but his stockings were white, and so was his face—as white, and almost as long and narrow as his stockings, and his hair was nearly white —a sort of faint flaxen—and his eyes were pale blue, and his whole person looked as weakly as though he bad ex isted upon water-gruel all his life. He repeatedly tried in a quiet way to get near the table, and whenever he did get near it, he began with "your Worship, I wish," but before he could say what it was he wished, his voice was drowned, and he was borne back into the rear of the crowd by other more boisterous suitors. After he had been re pulsed in this way some twenty or thirty times, he gave up the attempt altogether ; and, retiring to a distant corner of the room, he there waited patiently until the bustle had nearly ceased. Then, with his thumbs hooked together behind him ; and his hat dangling by its band from one of hie little fingers, he quietly approached the table; and, fixing hiscale blue eyes on the Alderman, he said, in a thin small voice— " Your Worship, I wish to have a few words of advice with you, before I do any thing hash." " My good friend," said the Alderman, " you must speak louder if you wish to be heard here. Speak up, you heard how I was obliged to raise my voice for the last two hours." " Silence !" cried a strong-lunged Marshalman to the buzzing blockheads about the table ; and, silence coming at his call, the pale-faced man began again— " Your Worship, I wish to have a few words of advice with you before I take any hash steps." " Why, what is the matter ?" asked his Worship; and the matter was soon told. He was a married man, he said, and his wife was too many for him ; so they parted, three or four years ago, and the parish compelled him to allow her half-a-crown a week. That half-crewn he had paid duly and truly every week, out of his little earnings, ever since ; but latterly, he had discovered --. that she had got To her heart a second lot." In plain prose, he had discovered that she was living with another man; and he wished the Alderman to tell him whether that circumstance would not justify him in dis continuing the payment of the weekly half-crown; "for," said he, " I think it very hard that another man should haie my wife and my money too !" And this contem plated stoppage of the half-crown was what he called " taking a hash (query, harsh ?) step." The Alderman told him he ought to think himself very lucky in having got rid of a bad wife at th• trifling cost of half-a-crown a week, and that it was very foolish of him to watch her conduct too scrupulously—thereby mak . ing himself uncomfortable, without producing any good effect; for,let her conduct be what it might, he must con tribute to her support, unless he had two or three hundred pounds to spend in bringing an action for crim. con. against her paramour, and suing out a divorce in Doctors' Commons. " Three hundred pounds !" cried the pale and per plexed husband—" Laws bless you, Sir, I am but a poor man, and haven't three hundred farthings in the whole world." " Then you must be content to go on as before," said the Alderman—" you know you married her for better or worse, and marriage is quite a lottery. " Ay, indeed it is, Sir, and I have drawn a very bad blank !" rejoined the poor little fellow; and, so having said, he walked quietly away. BOW-STREET.—In the course of yesterday morning, a well-dressed young man entered the office and begged the Magistrate to grant him a warrant for the apprehension of a man, who, he said, bad well nigh strangled him, a few minutes before ; but as he did not know the name of the man, and as the scene of the alleged attempted strangula tion was Rowbottom's Finish in James-street, Covent garden, Sir R. Ban :Km directed an officer to go there with the applicant and bring the offender before him. Consequently in a few minutes the officer returned with Mr. Thomas Hunt, son of Mr. Henry Hunt, the blacking maker, in his custody, and the complainant was ordered to state his complaint, which he did; and the substance of it was, that the defendant had called him a thief, a swind ler, a rascal, and an informer, and had seized him by the throat, with so much violence as almost to suffocate him, " without any provocation at all." In reply to this charge, the defendant, who, like the Wonwed by ' Els owi wo ntatemZt the circumstance, Circ t uro . stan watc c hman e, and the . evidence of Rowbottom, that he had abundance of provo cation for what he did. Sir R. BIRNIE told the complainant lie richly deserved what he had got, and much more. MARYLEBONE.—James Tilyard, driver of the cart No. 1,356,518, was charged before Edmund Griffith and John Rawlinson, Esqrs., for that he did, on the 27th of last month, "by unlawfully and negligently driving the horses drawing in the said cart, cause, hurt, and damage to James Southgate Stevens." As some mitigatory circumstances, were urged, and the young man who drove the cart received a good character from his master, they only fined him in the penalty of 40e. and costs. The gentleman declared his determination to bring an action for damages. On the above parties retiring, a young man, named William Dixon, seemingly a groom or helper, stood up and requested justice to be done him for a gross assault commit ted by another hostler-looking man of the name of North. The complaint was so nonsensical that it is hardly worth mentioning, and yet had something ludicrous in it too__ " I agreed, your Worship," said the young man Dixon, " to hop on one leg, and eat at the same time three Ban bury-cakes while I was hopping." Mr. RawLiNsoN—Well, I see no great feat in that. I'd engage to hop and eat a dozen. Dixon—We had a pot of porter, and as the cakes made me dry, I took up the pot and drank some beer. On which he called me a ---, and struck me, and gave me this black . eye, your Worship. I told him I'd pull him up for it; and he said if I did, he would knock my life out. Mr. RAwz.msoN (to defendant)—How came you to give the man a black eye ? North—Why, sir, I'll tell you the business. He said he'd hop upon one leg, and eat three twopenny Banbury cakes, as he tells you. I had called for a pint of beer, and he took up my beer and drank. I did not mind the beer, but as he hopp'd about, all the crumbles of the Banbury cakes kept slushing into it, with the froth from his mouth; so that I could not touch it had he left any, but he did not leave a table-spoonful. (The Magistrates could scarcely keep their countenance at this recital.) North continued.—This being the case, your Worship, I asked him when he had done if he did not mean to send for another pint of beer, and he said he'd be d—d if he would, and called me all the names he could lay his tongue to. I never called him what he says, your Worship, for I've been in his Majesty's service fourteen years, and it is a name we never use. I then called for a pint of beer myself, and said, now do you mean to pay for it or not? He said, No, he would not. Then if you won't pay for the beer, said I, I'll pay you, and so I gave him a leathering. Mr. RAwuNsox—And that you had no business to do—not that he had any right to drink your beer. You said, too, you would do for him for pulling you up. As you seem so violent a character, therefore, you must find bail. North—l'm sure I have not a soul in the world would bail me. ' Mr. Rawr.ngsox—Then you must be locked up.—He retired with the gaoler. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--Yesterday afternoon, at a late hour, and after the office had closed, a young man of very respectable appearance, who gave his name Richard "Wilson, was brought up in custody, under the following circumstances. Mr. Stile; the silversmith, of 28, Tottenham-court road, stated, that the prisoner called at his shop yesterday morning, and requested a glass to be fated to his watch. — In the course of conversation, the prisoner asked:him whe ther he (Mr. S.) was not in the habit 'of 'purchasing old silver, to which he replied in the affirmative. The pri soner said that he had some to dispose of, and would send it m be weighed, and in the afteinoon call again himself to agree upon the price. Shortly afterwards a parcel was left, which contained broken plate to the amount of between 287 to 200'ounces. Mr. Stiles was much surprised at the large qiutialty, as Well is the deseription of the plate; which consisted of modern patterned cream-ewers,stigar-basins, tea pots,. spoons,. king's pattern silver-handled forks, &c., Hof 'ilia; although nearly new, were broken in pieces, or Orttibed in such a way se to render &tin 'Of no use but for the crucible.'' On one piece there was still left - the sem blance of it hiving borne a coat of arms; but whiCh had been purposely defaced in such - a way as. to nearly defy. tracing it. Mi. Stliesi's suspicion was excited, and he im 7 ,mediatelf gaVe infoiMation at teas OftiCe, , 'wheii . 'Gnadard, the of f icer , A was sent , with directions' to Wait in Mr. and tatitheOFti into CuStOliivho shOUld ;appear respedgiii'the plate. " The prisoner 'carne at the time appointed, and refusing to give any account of him self, , was brought to this office, where he still declined saying any thing beyond that of giving hie name Richard- Wilson, nor would he give his place of residence. He was remanded for further examination, when it le expected some claimant may appear to identify the plate. llfiss Ann Taylor, of No. 50, Thornhaugh-street, dashing belle of the first order, and known as a constant frequenter of the Theatres, appeared at the bar under the following circumstances : Campbell, a watchman of St. Giles's, stated that as be was going his rounds, between two and three o'clock in the morning, he perceived Miss Taylor lying " in the straw" in Gower-mews, Gower-street, without bonnet, shawl, or cap, and her hair all dishevelled so as to partly cover het face, and her dress in sad disorder. He attempted to more her, but all his attempts were in vain, and fearing she weer dead, sprung his rattle, when assistance coming up, they attempted to convey her to the watch-house. On the way thither they first perceived she was not actually dead—but nearly so, from the effects of drink, and, with considerable difficulty, got from her that she resided at No. 50, Thorn haugh-street ; at which house they safely deposited her. In gratitude for which kind treatment, Miss Taylor having recovered her speech, accused the watchman, Campbell, of having robbed her of a diamond pin, gold neck chain, valuable diamond and emerald ring, &c., which were as serted to be missing. Upon this charge being made, the watchman thought it a queer way of rewarding his care and attention ; and, therefore, insisted upon her accom panying him to the watch-house to prefer her charge. Mr. Peter Salmondi, of the Tavistock Hotel, a person of shabby-genteel appearance, here stepped forward and stated himself to be the son of Mr. Salmondi, a respectable jeweller of Bath; that he had on the preceding evening accompanied Miss Taylor to the English Opera House, at which time she had the articles of jewellery now com plained of as being lost, upon her person. That be (Mr. P. Salmondi) left her after the theatre was over, in com pany with a Mr. Lennox, the son of Colonel Lennox, at Mrs. H.'s supper-rooms ; and that he (Mr. P. S.) knee/ nothing of the alleged robbery, until the servant of the house in Thornhaugh-street called upon him at the Tavistock Hotel, to inform him of it. Mr. CONANT the Sitting Magistrate, said, th a t be thought it woul d be necessary to have the attendance of the waiter of the Tavistock Hotel. Upon hearing this, Mr. Peter Salmondi admitted that he did not now reside at that Hotel. Mr. Cowaxr—Then where did you sleep last night ? Salmondi—At the watch-house ; the same that MiN Taylor was confined in. Mr. CortArrT—This is a mysterious business ; and u very serious charge is alleged against the watchthan, shall thoroughly investigate it. Who is this Mr. Lennox? It is necessary he should be brought here. Salmondi—l know nothing of him, further than I wsi told his name was Lennox. Upon Miss Taylor being called upon to explain, she merely stated that she had been to the theatre, and after wards to some place to supper. That she recollected ac companying some one in a coach, and being dragged out of it ; but she could not recollect who the parties were.--; She certainly suspected the watchman of taking the ring off her finger. Campbell said, that Miss Taylor charged him, in the pre- Bence of the landlady and servant, with not only stealing the ring, but also a diamond pin, which was afterwards covered to be in the front of her dress. The Magistrate directed that the landlady and servant should be sent for ; and in a short time Mrs. King and her servant were in attendance. Mrs. King said that she was the landlady of the house No. 50, Thornhaugh-street, where Miss Taylor and Sal' mondi had been living for the last three months, represent , ing themselves as man and wife. That hearing a noise la her house yesterday morning, she dressed herself and went down stairs, when she found Miss Taylor accusing the watchman of stealing a diamond pin and ring ; the former she (Mrs. K.) found in the dress of Miss Taylor. The female servant denied having gone to the Tavistock Hotel for Salmondi, and added, that Saimondi had but I short time entered the house before Miss Taylor was brougb home. 30 1 _ _ Mr. Cortaxr said, that it appeared from their olio - , showing that Taylor bad been left in a state of beastly tied toxication with a person unknown, who had, for aught he knew, deprived her of the things missing ; or ske might have lost them herself, from the , senseless state is which she was found. As regarded the watchman Camr, bell, there did not appear the slightest evidence for th e charge against him : he should therefore dismiss it. M the woman was proved by all parties to be greatly intoSi• cated, through being in which state this charge had origi• nated, he should direct her to he fined five shillings fa Miss Ann Taylor paid the five shillings, and quitted the office in company with her cher amis, Mr. Peter Sal' month. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday a man named Allen wa brought up, in the custody of Grossmith, the Bow-street patrol, charged with the following highway robbery :...... • On the preceding night, as Mr. Ellin', a tailor, residing in the Borough, was passing along the Southwark Bridge road, about eleven o'clock, five men rushed out upon from one of the dark alleys leading into the Mint, knocked him down, and robbed him of all the money he had in his possession, together with a piece of superfine cloth vrhicfs he bad purchased that day, and was carrying home. The violence with which the blow was given deprived him of sense or motion, and the thieves would have escaped, bad not a female, who was passing on the other side, and who witnessed the outrage, gave the alarm. The prisoner wag pursued, in the course of which it appeared he was seen to drop the cloth belonging to the complainant. He was ap prehended after some resistance. The prisoner was remanded, until the rest of his com panions, who are well known to the police, are appre hended. 1700 101 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. IPSWICH RACES..---THURSDAY, JUL: 6.
