stroy—but the. Tilers 04,p not 2. 9pear to, hay lost the obstinate courage far. Whicn they have been remarked ever.since they became a nation.-. Co nsidering _the number of ships of the line opposed to the Turks and the Egyptians, it is surprising that it should have taken so long a time to de stroy them. This shows that in point of ability, as seamen, they are very superior to, what has been commonly supposed. The battle, though decisive, is not to be compared with either the Nile or Trafalgar. What the consequences will be time only can develOpe ; but if the Turks do pot submit, and war should be the consequence —and if, in consequence of such war, France should eventually get hold of Egypt, and Russia of European Turkey and part of Asiatic Turkey —then we should say, that a great number of years would not transpire before both French and Russians, and probably Austrians, watild - E;e foz disturbing us m our East Indian possessions, the right to which possessithis is quite as equi vocal as the right of the Turks to Greece. There is, however, one thing certain, should this war go on, that our expenditure will in crease, our debt will increase, and the taxes must increase, in order to meet the extra interest on an increased debt, and to meet the increased ex penditure. In what way the account of this victory will be received at Constantinople we shall see ; but we hope that, as in former times, the vengeance of the Turks will not be visited on the innocent subjects of the Turkish allies, Eng land and France. —Morning Herald. The news from Greece, which arrived at the Admiralty on Saturday morning,• have produced every where the greatest sensation. Moat of our town readers are no doubt already familiar with the details published in The Gazette Extra ordinary of Saturday night. We have given the contents of the Gazette, and the French account will be found in the extracts from the Paris Papers received last night. Obstinate and un4 tractable as the Turks are known to be, we do not believe anytonein this part of Europe enter tained the idea that they would have the fool hardiness to prOvoke the chastisement which they have . received. Attempts to break through the blockade, which might lead to partial fighting, were, at most, anticipated. Hence the agitation which intelligence of such moment as the com plete destruction of a large fleet and the slaughter of a great proportion of their crews, effected at the expence of considerable sacrifice 'on the part of the victors, has been heightened by the public having been unprepared for events of such moment. It appears, from the French accounts, that the: Allies, in .communicating the engage ments into which their Governments had en- ' tered, warned Ibrahim, that, if a single shot should be fired on their flags, the consequence. would lbe the destruction of the Turkish and - Egyptian fleets. A provisional suspension of hostilities had been consented to by Ibrahim, Pacha, in a conference with the English and: French Admirals, acting in the name also of the Russian Admiral, on the 25th September.— The very next day the Pacha violated his en gagement, by causing his fleet to come out, with a view to its proceeding to another point in the Morea. Since the return of the fleet to Navarin the Pacha's troops had carried on a species of warfare more destructive . than before—putting women and children to the. sword, burning the habitations, . tearing up trees by the roots, in order to complete the devastation of the country. Insulted in this way, the Commanders, of three, courses open to them, chose that of proceeding to take a position with their squadrons in Na varin, "in order to renew to Ibrahim proposi tions which, entering into the spirit of the Treaty, was evidently to the advantage of the Porte itself," in the anticipation that this mode, " without effusion of blood and without hostili. ties, but simply by the imposing presence of the Squadrons," might produce a determination leading to the desired object. Accordingly, the combined fleets, on the 20th of October, were formed in the ord.ei of sailing in two columns, the British and French forming the weather or starboard line, and the Russian the lee line.— The Turkish' ships were moored with springs on their cables, the larger ones presenting their broadsides towards the centre, the smaller ones in successions within them filling up the intervals. Orders were given that no guns should be fired, un- ' less guns were first fired by the Turks, and these orders were strictly obeyed. The three English ships , were permitted to pass the batteries to moor, which they did with great rapidity, with out any act of open hostility, though there was evident preparation for it in all the Turkish ships. On the Dartmouth sending a boat to one of the Turkish fire vessels, Lieutenant Fitz roy and several of her crew were shot with musketry. This brutal and unprovoked act pro duced a defensive fire, and ultimately brought on a general action. The battle was, as may be conceived, of the most bloody and destructive nature, and it. lasted for four hours. The French Commander, to give an idea of the dreadful sce»e, tells us to conceive " one hundred and fifty ships of War, of all rates, firing iii-a narrow basin, in a triple line." Our loss and that of the French have in consequence been very consider able. We have had in all 75 killed, and 197 wounded. The French had 43 killed, '79 se verely wounded, and 65 less severely. The total of both services 394 killed and wounded. , No returns of the .Russian loss have yet been '1 given. It has been observed that this loss is greater than that at the battle of St. Vincent. The destruction of the enemy must have been enormous. According to the statement made by the Secretary to the Capitana Bev, in the port ,of Navarin, sixty-five vessels named by him contained between 18 and 19,000 men ; and out of two of these vessels, containing 850 men each, 1,050 were: ,killea. Some idea may be formed from this' of 'the.. dreadful carnage. The French Commander says, so complete has been the destruction, that of all the Turkish fleet there remain afloat only twenty corvettes and brigs, and even these are abandoned. itself The scene of wreck - and devastation, says Admiral Co drington, which presented was such as Itas been seldom before witnessed. As each ship of our opponents became effectually disabled, such of her crew: as could escape from her endea voured to set her on fire, and it is won derful how we avoided the effects of the» successive and awful explosions. The Asia, Genoa, and Albion have suffered so much, that they are to be sent to Englinai when they shall have received the necessary repairs for their voyage at Malta. The Talbot has also suffered considerably, as well as some of the smaller ves sels; but Admiral Codrin E , , ton thinks they can be repai re d at M a l ta. Th e F renc h s hips have al so been roughly handled. Two ships of the line are obliged to re t ur n to Toulon. The Syrene, b es id es h er losses in masts, received six shots between windand wa t er . Professional men can alone f u lly understand , our brave tars wer e and the perils to which has been displayed in exPosed, and the merit which the execution of their dangerous task. The Allies Rem tv have Sea 1 acted with admirable concert, in a service where the least neglect or want of promptitude might have been attended with the most disastrous re- sults. Again and again, the large ships were snatched from destruction, by the prompt exer tions, of the vessels charged with the dangerous land difficult duty of securing them from the fire , ship's. It is greatly to be feared, that the destruc tion of their fleet will provoke the barbarians "to the commission of still more "dreadful ex cesses on the unfortunate Greeks. But this is' not the only evil to be apprehended. — We shudder when we think of the conse 4luences to which the intelligence may lead at Constantinople. It is difficult for • people like Ourselves, so different in our habits and ideas from the Turks, to conjecture in what way they will receive the news. The Turks do not act according to any calculation intelli gible to us. They occupy the finest part of Eu rope, without knowing any thing of Europe. It is clear, for instance, the Turkish Statesmen are either totally. unacquainted with their strength as compared with that of the Western nations, or that those :who possess this knowledge have no power of acting on their own judgment. 'lf the, determination to.oppose the Allies was, as is be lieved, the result of orders from Constantinople —for it was known on the 14th of October in that capital, that important and decisive instruc tions had been sent by the Sultan to the fleet— it may be inferred that they who sent sucli orders conceived the possibility of combatting the Al lies. They who miscalculated their strength so much may not be taught by the result to know themselves. If, on the other hand, the action was the result of a fatalism, proof against all cal culation, who knows the direction which that spirit may take in future ? We are pleased to learn from the French Commander, that " the Trident is going to Smyrna to meet the Junon, the Pomone, and the other light vessels, to supply the wants of the moment, and to wait new directions. The English corvette the Dose has gone to Smyrna, whence' couriers will be de spatched to Constantinople to announce this important' event." Captain Reverseaux, •of the Pomone, had instructions to pro tect the French subjects." We trust the English subjects in that port will also be protected from the fury of the enraged Turks. By this time, veshould suppose, there is hardly a rational being who believes in the possibility of making any thing of such incorrigible barbarians as the Turks. So long as they remain in Europe there is n °lope for the Levant. They would have been driven from it long since but for the difficulty of disposing of the valuable provinces which they possess. The time seems, however, to be fast approaching when temporizing will no longer be possible : and it will be necessary for" the great Powers once for all to decide the fate of Turkey. If they.retaliate on our defenceless countiymen whom commerce has &awn to their towns, they will thereby provoke a terrible re tribution. It is impossible to conceive that the Allies, who have already gone so f;r, would not go farther, after such an insult. The Egyptians had several French officers on board their ships. M. de Rigny says he required them to quit the service when things were taking this serious turn, and that .he believes only one did not obey his orders.—Morning Chronicle. . . Dispatches. were received at the Admiralty ca Saturday from Admiral Sir Edward Codring ton, giving an account of a splendid victory o the British, aided by the French and Russian squadron, in the destruction of the fleet of Tur key—a Power hitherto justly considered one of the•mosts faithful; and, by geographical position, one of the natural Allies of England. The de tails of the engagement, which took place in the Port of Navarin on the 20th of October, (the anniversary be it remembered of the ever me morable and truly glorious battle of Trafalgar), were published on Saturday night in an Extra ordinary Gazette, which is given in a preced ing part of our paper. Our brave sailors, it is hardly necessary to say, sustained nobly upon this occasion the high and splendid reputation they had acquired in all their former conflicts— in conflicts more worthy of their arms, and more conducive to the honour and advantage of their country. When we view the subject in this, its only bright. aspect, our feelings of pride and exul tation rise to their utmost height—fondly view ing in it, as we do, the heart-gratifying proof that our naval discipline was never better—that our naval heroes were never more courageous or invincible—and that the glorious race of our Howes,. our Duncans, our Jarvises, and our Nelsons, is as full and as brilliant as in the gol den harvest of our repeated and transcendent naval victories. Here, however (with anguish of heart and soul we confess. it), these feelings have an end. En every other view of the subject, they are succeeded by emotions of grief, morti fication, and alarm. The Combined Admirals, in explaining the causes which led to this san guinary and important conflict, do not appear to us to speak the language of candid or high spirited men. They impute the first aggression to their opponents, because the first shots were fired by them ; as if the unprovoked entrance of the fleet under their command, in order of battle, into the Turkish. port in which the fleet of Turkey was at anchor, was not in itself a pal pable aggression. This, we regret to observe, is a pitiful equivocation, which we never could have expected to find disfiguring and degrading the official dispatches. of a gallant Commander.-- The result of the engagement is represented to have been the almost entire destruction of the Turkish fleet. The Gazette does not, however, furnish us with that mi nuteness of detail, under this head, which would in all the circumstances have been satisfactory. None of the Turkish vessels have been taken possession of by the combined forces ; and we inter that the destruction has not been quite so complete as the vague and general terms of the dispatch might have led us to be lieve, from the circumstance of the Allied Com manders attempting, after the termination of the engagement, to renew the armistice----threaten ing and promising the Turks in the following terms ;—" If one single musket or cannon shot be again fired on a ship or boat of the Allied Powers, we shall immediately destroy all the re maining vessels, as well as the forts of Navarin, and we shall consider such new act of hostility as a formal declaration o£ the. Porte against the three Allied Powers, and of which the Grand Signior and his Pachas must suffer the terrible consequences. But if the Turkish Chiefs, ac knowledging the aggression they have committed by commencing the firing, abstain from any act of hostility, we shall resume those terms of good understanding which they have themselves in terrupted. In this case they will have the white flag hoisted on all the forts before the end o f this day. We demand a categorical answer, without evasions, before sunset."—What the succes s o f this application was, the Com bined Admirals do not state. If the message were delivered on the very clay of the battle, we might conclude that it had no effect, as the dis patches. were not sent off till the day following. If the message was only delivered the day after the battle, the white flags might, perhaps, be hoisted after the dispatches were gone. It is re markable, too, that of the many documents pub lished in the Gazette, this is the only one without a date. But whatever may be the condition of the Turkish fleet, it is evident that the Allied fleet came out of the engagement in a state of lamentable distress. The British force consisted of three ships of the line, four frigates, and four smaller vessels. The three ships of the line, the Asia, Genoa, and Albion, are for the present in capable of further service, and are consequently coming home. They are to be sent to Malta, to undergo temporary repair, before they can under take the voyage to England. The Talbot frigate " has also" to use the words of Admiral Codrington, " suffered considerably, as well as other of the smaller vessels ;" but he tip e s their defects, are not more than can be made good at Malta. If the ships of Russia and France (amounting each to nearly the same number) have suffered in any thing' like the same degree as the English, who can fail to perceive that the Allied Armament, so far as regards present efficiency at least, has clearly lost its original for midability and commanding force. The Turkish forces appear to have fought with reckless des peration, setting ire to their own ships as soon as they became effectually disabled. If the same spirit animate the troops of Turkey, Russia will yet, we imagine, have something to do before she accomplishes the full object of her poliq.— Thus far, however, all seems to work propitiously for her. England and France, are now, we sup pose, too far committed to recede from the position into which she has so dexterously allured them ; and instead of resisting her ulterior operations, may probably be expected to furnish their respec tive contingents to her land forces, to the certain prejudice of some of the best and most obvious interests of Britain. We sicken when we re flect that seventy-five British Officers and sailors, have been slaughtered, and nearly two hundred wounded, in a quarrel in no respect English, and on an occasion quite adverse to her real interests. The little finger of the worst man among them is in our estimation of higher value than the whole Greek nation, even if we added to it all its abet tors and supporters whom we have vet seen active in England. The widows and orphans of these gallant men have not now, as in all former instances, the melancholy .consolation even of reflecting that the blood of their husbands and fathers have been shed for the glory and advan tage of their country. On whose guilty heads rests the precious blood thus wantonly and in juriously shed, our readers do not require to be informed. With such a glut, let our hopeful Ministry proceed to breakfast, " with what ap petite they may !"—Morning Post. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—The accident which occurred on Friday, on the occasion of the dinner at Guildhall, and which was likely to have proved of so serious a nature, prevented the attendance of the new Lord Mayor on Satur day in the Justice Room, and in consequente Sir PETER LAURIE sat for him. There were numerous inquiries after the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress. by Sir Charles Flower and other Aldermen and members of the Corpora- tion, ; and the answers given were, " that neither of them were seriously hurt." James Bell, the man who was charged on a former day with exposing for sale to Mr. Dobson, of Leadenhall-street, a silver salver, under very suspicious circumstances, the coat of arms upon the said salver having been obliterated, was on Saturday brought up for further examination. He, however, persisted in his former account, that the salver and other articles had been intrusted to him by a man named Williamson, whom he had seen in Scotland, and whom he had occasionally met at some place near the Royal Exchange in London. It however appeared that in consequence of some information obtained by the officer, he had found it necessary to write to Scotland, and as there had not been sufficient time to get an answer, the pri soner was remanded until Friday. Josh Hudson, the celebrated pugilist, was charged with felony—viz., having robbed one Samuel Henry Lear of five shillings. Mr. Lear resides at Walthamstow, and the, prisoner keeps what is called " the Tap" of the Half Moon Tavern in Leadenhall-market. On Friday afternoon the witness went into this " Tap," and in the parlour of the " Tap " he found amongst others the prisoner. There was a vast deal of sporting conversation going forward, and upon one subject a question arose, and witness offered to back his opinion by betting a bottle of wine; upon this Josh Hud son rose and exclaimed with an oath, that the witness had not got the price of a bottle of wine in his pocket? " What," exclaimed the witness, "do you mean to say that I have not got five shillings in my pocket?" " Yei," says Josh Hudson; " I mean to say that you have not got five shillings in your pocket, and I will bet you a bottle of wine that you have not." Mr. Lear now said, " Sir Peter, you will bear in mind that I knew well enough what Josh Hudson meant about the bet of five shillings, and I was determined not to be taken in, because, if I had get five sovereigns, or five crowns, or five half-crowns, or money to any amount, and could not produce five single shillings, the room would have decided the wager against me ; but I just happened to know that I had five single shillings in my pocket, and therefore I took Josh Hudson's bet ; and in order to convince him that I bad won, I pulled the five shillings from my pocket, and placed them on the table, and immediately Josh Hudson takes up my five shillings, and puts them into his pocket, and then laughed at me. I demanded my *ye shillings back, and also the wager of the bottle of wine ; but Josh Hudson would not give me either; but at length he said that if I would stand a pint of wine out of the five shillings he had got, he would give me back the change—(Loud laughter); but I would not do that ; so I gave him in charge for stealing my five shillings." It was suggested in the earVpart of the proceedings ,that the matter had been previously arranged amongst the parties, and that a restitution had been made of the pro perty ; but it being a charge of felony, Sir PETER insisted upon having it heard ; and Mr. Nobler now observed, that an affair of this description was no uncommon occurrence in what is called sporting houses—in fact, it was termed a " good lark," and the charge of felony had consequently fallen to the ground. A gentlemanly looking young man, whose name is Peel, and who is a notary public, applied to Sir PETER, to grant him a summons, or warrant, against the driver of a van for assaulting him in Leadenhall-street, on Lord Mayor's day. Mr. Peel had a vast desire to see Gog and Magog, and the men in armour, and all the other nonsense which com posed the Lord Mayor's show, and for that purpose he took his post in Leadenhall-street ; but wishing to have a better sight of it than those who surrounded him, he climbed up the wheel of a van that was standing in the street. The driver of the van did not like this innovation of his rights, and so he immediately applied the horsewhip to Mr. Peel's shoulders, in the same way that a hackney -coachman would flog any mischievous boy, that will try to steal a ride behind his coach. Mr. Peel, howevever, considered this to be " rather too bad," for he found that lie had lost the sight of the show, and instead thereof he bad got a sound whipping; and he now wished to punish the driver of time van, and thereby compel him to make compensation, as well for the loss - of the sight as for the whipping. Sir PETER and all present laughed heartily. ' Mr. Peel stood amazed; as if he supposed that every person present would commiserate him ; at last he very coolly said, " Why, Sir Peter, I would not have minded it, if the man bad only told me first to get down, but that he did not do." . Mr. Hobler—Sir Peter, the gentleman wished to have a peep, and, like most other curious people, lie has paid for peeping ; and, you know, Sir, if he had only had the good sense to have held a sixpence up to the driver of the van, he would certainly have escaped the whipping.- - (Loud laughter.) Mr. Peel then took his departure. MARYLEBONE.— Thomas Cobb, a coachmaster, who had stables at the hack of Wilmington-yard, Totten ham-court-road, was charged by Mr. Withers, of Green ford-green, near Harrow, with receiving a load of hay, o ut of which his servant had been swindled by a person, not ; yet in custody, of the name of Joseph Williams. —The case (was heard by-Mr. GRIFFITH. Cobb, on being questioned as to whether it was his usual !custom to buy hay without seeing a single sample (which !appears to have been the case in this instance), replied in a way by no means satisfactory. Mr. GRIFFITH said the account given by the defendant was very suspicious, and the impression on his own' mind :was, that Ire had been combining with Williams to defraud the complainant. Under these circumstances, he should re quire him to find bail, and also to find the other man. The hay in the mean time must be impounded. The case of a person having been bitten by a dog, near the Edgeware-road, reported in the Morning 'Herald of Thursday, was revived to-day, by an application to the Magistrate from the unfortunate man's nephew : and also by a complaint from another person, named Thomas Phipps, a plasterer, of having been bitten by what he supposes the same animal. The latter, who seemed in considerable alarm, stated that, going along the Edgeware-road on Monday afternoon, a dog bit him, and immediately, on being pur sued, ran down the kitchen stairs of Mr. Scull, landlord of the Portland Arms. He had reason to think it was the same dog who had bit the other gentleman, and was so frightened at the circumstance, that he went directly to a surgeon and had a piece cut out of his leg ; and what he was now most anxious to know was, whether any thing was the matter with the animal, in order that his mind might be relieved. Mr. Scull could not tell whether it was his dog that bit the complainant or not, as he had seen nothing of him. Complainant said, the dog that bit him ran very con tentedly down Mr. Scull's kitchen stairs, and he presumed it would not have (lone so if it had not been at home. Another person had been bitten by it, and it made the thing very alarming. He was frightened to go past the house to his work. Mr. Scull is sure it was net the same dog that bit the other person, as his (log WAS quite inoffensive. Mr. GRIFFITH said it was most shocking that an animal of this kind should be suffered to be at large, and no proper means taken to find It. Mr. Scull was sincerely sorry, and as anxious as any person could be. He had made the strictest search, and would continue to do so—not that he believed it to he his dog. The MAGISTRATE said-it was at least his duty to confine any dogs he had, arid he expected it would be done imme diately. As for the dog that was missing, it must be strictly sought after, and it would be proper for that pur pose to put an advertisemen't in the papers. The above parties bad only a short time left the office, when the nephew of the person first bitten, who keeps a public-house in Drury-lane, required to see the Magistrate a, and told them that he came express from his uncle, who had undergone a second operation, and was now lying very ill in bed. The two surgeons who attended him were most anxious to see the dog, as they knew not howl to act without, and he implored them to order every exertion to be made to find it, which was promised him. The missing dog is described as a small animal, of the lurcher species. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—On Saturday William Curtis, one of the beadles of Burlington Arcade, was brought before Mr. DYER, upon a warrant, charged with assaulting a respectable married female named Rebecca Ogden, and her sister, a single woman, of equally respect able appearance. - ' Mrs. Ogden, on Thursday last went, in company with her sister, to the Arcide, at the entrance of which Curtis was stationed for the purpose, as she bad heard, of prevent ing the intrusion of mendicants, and other improper per sons. No sooner had the complainant and her sister at tempted to pass than the defendant pushed them with vio lence down the steps, saying that they were " improper females," and should not enter there. Mrs. Ogden's sister confirmed the foregoing statement. Mr. DYER-Pray are you, madam, of any business? Mrs. Ogden—Yes, Sir, I am a dress-maker, and go to the Arcade solely to see the'new fashions. Several respectable tradesmen gave a favourable repre sentation of Curtis's general conduct. Mi. DYER observed that general character could have little weight in the present case; an assault had been sworn to by a respectable femaleand supported by another. His duty was to order Curtis to find bail. Mr. Ogden, the husband of the complainant, wished to inquire whether Curtis had any imputation to cast upon the moral conduct of Mrs. Ogden ?—Curtis did not choose to answer that question then.—He was ordered to find bail. James Turner, a middle-aged man, was charged with stealing a cheque for bOL, belonging to Mr. Win. Payne, the proprietor of the British Hotel, Jerinyn-street, St. James's, so far back as in Feb. 1826. James Bennett, in Feb. 1826, was head waiter to Mr. Payne ; tbelprisoner was an occasional porter. On the 6th of that month he gave him a cheque on Messrs. Hammers leys, the hankers, for 501., to get changed. The prisoner absconded, and from that day until the present lie had never seen him. Witness produced a letter, which Mr. Payne received shortly after the prisoner made off. The following is a literal copy of it : " Bricklayers Harms, IS. " Sir—Off to Paris as fast as I can intended to go be fore, but the thrashing prevented me I shall be hall right in that new place called the PaUse Royal. Half drunk, so no more at present I will send a few lines when I get to Dover. " A Little Boy on the road " To Mr. Pain, " Never was sich times." " British late Blake's Germin-street London." The prisoner, upon the above letter being produced, said that it was not written by himself, but that a person had written it with his consent, when he was in a state of intoxication. He was most heartily sorry for it, and con fessed he had committed the robbery, and threw himself on the mercy of the prosecutor. He was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Two well-known thieves, named Walton. alias Howard, formerly what is termed a cad to the Paddington stages, and Edwards, were charged with committing a bur glary on the premises of William Lumley, Esq., No. 49, Gower-etreet, Bedford-square. The two prisoners, who appeared quite unconcerned at their situation, declined saying any thing, and were fully committed. BOW-STREET:—Mrs. Francis Clifton, a woman o" respectable appearance, who, for come time past, has kept a book and stationefy shop in Houghton-street, Clare-market, which was also a general post receiving-house, was placed at the bar before Mr. HALLS, on Saturday, charged with the capital offence of secreting a letter (which letter con tained a 51. note); she being, in her capacity of a receiv ing-house keeper, considered a servant of the post-office. Mr. W. Holmes, solicitor and navy agent, on the 4th of last October enclosed a Si. note to " Mr. John Holmes, Waterford, Ireland," which he delivered to his clerk to put into the post-office. Ten days after this be received a letter from Waterford, stating that the letter had never been received. The note now produced by Mr. Peacock was the same he enclosed in the letter. Mr. George Folkard, clerk to the last witness, remem bered putting, on the hth of October, two letters in the post-office in Houghton-street, kept by the prisoner. One of the letter s was directed to " Mr. John Holmes, Water ford," and the other to " Edward Gibbon, Carpenter of H.M.S. Asia, at Malta." He paid the postage of them at the counter, to a female. Could not swear it was the prisoner. Joseph Spragg, landlord of the King's Head, in Hough ton-street, knew the prisoner. She had kept the book shop and post-office, near his house some time. The note produced he received from the prisoner on the 4th of October. The prisoner had nothing more to say than that she had no recollection of having changed a note on that. par- ticular day. Mr. Folkard, the clerk, ought, in justice to the pri soner, to say that he had very often given 'money letters to her, and that, except in this instance, they had never miscarried. Mr. llsm.s said, it appeared very extraordinary that, supposing the prisoner to have stolen the note, she should go in so open a manner to a place where she was so well known to change it. He was afraid the prisoner was not the only party concerned ; and in order to give time for the matter to be fully investigated, he remained the pri soner till Wednesday next: Caroline Bell, alias Jones, a young woman who has cohabited for some time past with Daniel Frederick Jones, the swindling begging-letter-writer, was brought u p by Taunton, that arch impostor. charged with being a n accom p lice of Tauntonwent eight o'clock on Fr ida y evenin g , ac companied by Mr. H a yward, to a house in Queen's - row , Kennington, where the two prisoners resided. He ob tained admission into the house, and proceeded to the pri soner's bed-room do or . H e knocked, and she said she was in bed, and requested time to dress herself. He wa it e d nearly ten minut es , an d then, fearing she might destroy papers which he was anxious to secure, he burst open the door, and found the prisoner before the tire with an ac count-book in her hand, and upon the fire was a heap of burning papers. He was too late to rescue any of them, but discovered they were the leaves of the book which the prisoner had in her hand ; and as she had not succeeded in tearing out the whole, sufficient remained to show that it had been used for the purpose of registering the names and donations of those imposed upon, and that it had COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL, NOV. 10.—SUGAR.—There has De'' a very good enquiry this week for British Plant:AO; and although 12,000 casks have been sold, a gr et4 extent of business might have been done, _had t, holders offered freely.

UNION-HALL.--On Saturday the Magistrates were occupied some time in hearing informations against pub licans charged with keeping their houses open on Sunday, the 4th of November, during the hours of Divine Service. Mr. Thomas Pilcher, the landlord of the White Horse, Brixton, pleaded guilty (his first offence), and was fined in the mitigated penalty of 40s. and costs. Mr. John Hamilton, of the sign of the Stag, Wands worth, was next charged with a similar offence, to which he pleaded not guilty. Hammond, one of the officers, stated that he went with Gill and Johns, two fellow-officers, to the defendant's house, and .found two men in the parlour, and 10 in the tap-room, drinking. It was then 17 minutes past 11, by the defendant's clock. _ " My deck," said Mr. Hamilton, " is always a quarter :oo fast." Gill here observed that he had set his watch by the toll clock, and when they entered the house. it was a minute more than the quarter, being a difference only of one minute between his watch and the clock. _ .. _ Mr. Hamilton observed that the chapel bell was tolling for morning service when the officers entered. He then continued—l have been 25 years a publican, and never had a single information laid against me before. With respect to drink being supplied to the men who were in the house, I deny that they had had any for some time before. The men were waiting to be paid by their master. The defendant was told that, by an order of Sessions, the publicans in that district were directed to have their houses closed at 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning. After some further remarks, in which the defendant complained of the hardship of his case, he was fined a similar penalty. Mr. Robert Flowers, the landlord of the Bull's Head, Clapham, was also fined 40s. and costs, for having his house open during the hours of divine service. He pleaded guilty. It was his first offence. Mr. Robert Eldon, of the Black Horse, Brixton, and Mr. Henry Smith, of the Crown and Anchor, Brixton washway, against whom similar informations were laid, pleaded not guilty, and the cases were then gone into. They having proved that the 'persons who were in their houses were their own servants and. persons employed by them, no convictions took place. BALI, AT LINCOLN.—The annual county fete (the Stuff Ball,) which took place at Lincoln, on the night of yesterday week, at the elegant Assembly Rooms, was both numerously and splendidly attended. Upwards of 400 of the first families in the county and city being present.—Doncaster Gazette. THE ORIGIN OF HACKNEY-COACHES. — The village of Hackney, about three miles from London, was anciently inhabited by persons of distinction, for whose ac• commodation, to convey them to and from the City, a coach was set up, which, being the first of that kind, it was de nominated the Hackney-Coach. This being found ,a pro fitable speculation, it was imitated in different places of the vicinity, and in time throughout all Britain, and the original name has been appropriated to the present day. Crowns are 'generally allowed to be of great antiquity. They were originally only used by the gods, and came to be used by Kings by virtue of their being Priests as well as Kings. The first Crowns were only a bandelet, fillet, or string around the head, and tied behind, as appears on medals upon the head of JUPITER, and the Kings of Egypt and Syria. Another bandlet being added, they were decorated with branches of trees and with Rowers, and in progress of time were made of gold and assumed the present form. This gem of honour was not in' use in Britain until after the conquest of the Picts, about the middle of the ninth century. THE GAME LAws.—Our readers are aware, that a few weeks ago, a young man of the name of • Wm. Ridding went out with three or four others, snaring hares in Clifton Lordship, when one of the gamekeepers of Sir ROBERT CLIFTON, Bart. shot him in the back, so that for a time his life was despaired of. The young man's friends caused the gamekeeper to be apprehended and committed to prison, for the felony ; and immediately afterwards, Hick ling, with his unhealed wounds, was taken to the County hall, convicted in .penalties, and in default of payment thereof, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment in Southwell House of Correction I —Three weeks had elapsed since his conviction, and he had been suffered to remain at home, from which circumstance we had hoped, that his prosecutors were satisfied with.the punishment he had .al ready received, in the shape of 12 gun-shot wounds, and had some ruthless relenting' about them ; but we, it seems, had miscalculated in our ideas of their mercy ; he is to be punished to the uttermost; not only has his life been put in imminent danger, not only has he suffered under the inflic tion of 12 gun-shot wounds, but the full vengeance of the law is to be poured upon his head, for he was on Mon day conveyed to Southwell, to undergo his sentence ! We shall recur to this subject in a future paper.—Notting ham Paper. The affair of the Lord Bishop of PETER BOROUGH and the Rev. Incumbent Of HAMBLETON, in Rutland, which has twice been alluded to in the public papers, has of course excited much interest, and a strong desire to know the particulars of the disagreement. We can state, from good authority, that they are as follows : —The Bishop was holding a visitation and confirmation at Oakham, when some children of the Rev. C. COLLIER'S parish of Hambleton were presented for confirmation with out their having obtained the Minister's certificate. Mr. COLLIER represented that be had refused the certificate as deeming the children, on examination, not fit to come to the ordinance. The Bishop requested that the Rev. Dr. WiLicnis, of Nottingham, who happened to be present at this visitation in Rutland, would examine the children from Hambleton. The Rev. Doctor did examine them, and granted the usual certificate. The children, and a large number of others, were already at the altar ? when the Bishop addressed some strong observations to Mr COLLIER, repeatedly called him " a tyrant in his parish,' and declared that he was unfit to examine children, and should not do so for the future. This led to some langnag in a loud tone, and a declaration by the Vicar of Hamble ton to his Lordship that he would -" drag him before the House of Lords." Besides holding the vicarage of Ham bleton, the Rev. C. COLLIER is also Vicar of Riby, in Lincolnshire, and both livings are in the gift of the Lord Bishop of Wrimixsum.—Lincoln Mercury.
