DUNCAN V. HOUSTON AND OTHERS. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL then went into the case, which was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Session of Scot land, on a question as to a process of reduction, raised at the instance of the appellant in the Court of Session for the pur pose of setting aside certain deeds of security granted by Richard Scougall and Co., of Leith, in favour of the late Jas. Henry Houstoun, on the allegation that these were executed within 60 days of legal, or, as it is termed in Scottish law, no tour, that is—notorious or completed b an k ru pt cy . Th e re spondents stated, that in consequence of various irregularities connected with the writ under which it had been attempted to make that company bankrupt, there had been no notour bank ruptcy constituted against them on the date alleged ; and as the effect of this plea, if valid, was to prevent the deeds in question from falling within 60 days of bankruptcy, it was ad mitted that, if sustained, it was fatal to the action. The Lord Ordinary found in December, 1832, "that by the execution of search produced, the company of Richard Scougall and Co. was, on the 16th of August, 1814, rendered legally bankrupt in terms of the act of 1696," which judgment being brought under review of the first division of the Court, their Lordships pronounced the following judgment :—that "in respect that the caption produced to instruct the bankruptcy of Richard Scougall and s not legal evidence to b e rec eived of the requisites of the Co., Act of Parliament 1696, c. 5, libelled on, the napes of the parties mentioned in the will being written on an erasure, alter the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary, and as soilzie the defenders from the conclusions of the action, and decern, but find no expenses due." From this judgment the present appeal lay, it being con tended by the Solicitor-General and Dr. Lushington, in sup port of it, that the words which were written upon an erasure in the letters of caption had been so written in correction of a merely clerical error; their accuracy as they stood being at tested by the terms not only of the other writs constituting with the caption the diligence from which the notour bank ruptcy of Richard Scougall and Co., was inferred, but of the cognate clauses in the instrument of caption itself ; and there fore the legal effect of that instrument, as evidence in its own place, towards establishing the bankruptcy ought to be held as reserved and entire. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing counsel for the ap pellant, stopped the case, recommending their Lordships to dismiss the appeal with costs, not exceeding 1.50/. It was dismissed accordingly. A WELSH FISHERMAN. Our first thought on arriving (folio iv the habit, it is a good one) was to send for a fisherman. Were I possessed of that essential and most useful (for it fills up) talent to a novelist, description, I would dr aw hi s portrait ; as it is, you must be satisfied with a silhouette. Suffice it to say, that he had lost his left arm, and was apparently seventy years of age, rather short than tall, an d answer i ng Tacitus ' s description of Agricola, " calvus et gracilis senex." (A Roman emperor and a Welsh fisherman—what a strange idea to come into the head !) His costume was a brown serge jacket, with large pockets, and leggings of the same material. The lines of his face expressed hard labour, and care was engraven on his brow. He' spoke English, not only without any Gallicisms, but with elegance. His easy and unembarrassed manners showed an acquaintance with the world, and the tones of his voice (there is no better criterion by which to detect vulgarity) were modulated and pleasing. How easy it is, by the commonest sentence that proceeds out of the mouth, to know a man of education. I entertained no doubt, and will allow you to be as sceptical as you choose, that the blood of the Cadwalladers ran in his veins, or perhaps, like Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, that he could trace his pedigree from Gomer, one of the sons of Noah, I believe— "'Tomas quickly seen, Whate'er he was—'twas not what he had been." He told us that he had been fishing A day in the Severn, and that it was (as I verily believe it to be) a very indif ferent river (strange that he should be so candid !) He advised us not to waste our time in tracing its course, and ended by complaining of a new weir of Lord that effectually prevented the salmon, once abundant as high as Lllanydloes, from making their way to the spawning grounds. We asked to see his flies. They were well made, and I bought of him two dozen, at a reasonable rate : no common occurrence, for at Rayader we were asked sixpence a-piece for salmon-flies, which were uni-coloured, plain-looking things, mostly of the grouse. hackle. Our piscator recom mended our proceeding straight to the Bcgalen pool ; de at our expense ; and wishing us sport, left us. clined dining I should, had he been an Italian, have left him with an " a rivederlo."—.lledwin's Angler in Wales. EXTRAORDINARY METEOR, 111 this town, on Monday evening, at sixteen minutes past six o'clock, ap peared, about forty-five degrees above the N. N. E. borizon, and at an inconsiderable elevation, a bright and beautiful me teor. It descended over a space of somewhat more than twenty degrees; a train of momentary brightness marked its course, and as it became extinct, a cloud of azure -coloured vapour was evolved, which forming into an elegantasit t p s a o s r s t ag o e f spiral, slowly arose on high. The most remark a bl e circum stance, perhaps, con nec ted with its ascent, was through a considerable strata of watery clouds, apparently un affected by the current of air which impelled them briskly along. As it emerged above them it again became visible, and some minutes elapsed ere the last trace of its existence passed away amid an upper strata of light and streaky vapour, which partially overspread the sky.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1834. POST OFFICE PACKETS. Return of the Names and Descriptions of all the Packet Ves sels that have been lost since the transfer of the Packet Establishment to the Admiralty; with the number of Per sons on board Id the time of their leaving the last Port, .and the circumstances attending such loss, whether by founder ing or otherwise, as far as the same may be known : Cynthia, a purchased packet, 32 persons on board, wrecked on the island of Barbadoes, on the 6th June, 1827, by acci dent, in moderate w e ath er . All on b oar d save d. 11 Hearty, packet brig, 35 persons on board, left Falmouth on the 12th September, 1827, for Jamaica. Was heard of in the N. E. Trades, within a few days' sail of Barbadoes, but did not reach that island. Supposed to have been accidentally burned, the Master being in the habit of reading in his bed. Redpole, ditto, number of persons on board not known ; left Rio Janeiro, homeward bound, on the 10th August, 1828, and was attacked and sunk off Cape Frio, by the Congress, a pira tical vessel of 18 guns, belonging to Buenos Ayres, after an engagement of an hour and a quarter, as stated in a deposition made by one of the crew of the Congress. Ariel, ditto, 34 persons on board, left Falmouth on the 10th of November, 1828, for Halifax, was seen standing direct for Sable Island in December, by a trading schooner of Halifax, which had tacked in 17 fathoms water. Mr. Dulen, the mas ter of the said schooner, endeavoured to warn her off without success, and she is supposed.to have run on shore within two hours after. Myrtle, ditto, 29 persons on board, wrecked on the coast of Nova Scotia, on the 3d of April, 1829, by accident, in mode rate weather. All on board saved. Calypso, ditto, number of persons on board not known, .kift Halifax on die 29th of January, 1833; was seen surrounded by icebergs, on the day after she sailed, by a fishing vessel, which could not approach her on account of the ice. Slie was evidently in distress, and firing guns for assistance. Thais, ditto, 35 person's on board, left Falmouth on the 12th of December, 1833, for Halifax, during the constant westerly gales which th en p reva il e d ; an d by a - letter to Capt.

The Gazette also contains a Royal Decree suppressing the Courts Martial, which henceforth will only have cognizance of military offences. All other cases will be tried before the ordinary tribunals. Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated the 30th ultimo:— " Couriers are more numerous than events. Some are sent off almost daily. The aspect of affairs has not changed since yesterday, and I have no new fact to communicate, except the nomination of the Address Committee by the Chamber of Procuradores. It cannot be concealed that the arrival of Don Carlos has increased the forces of the insurgents. But this augmentation, which would be very dangerous in the plains of Castile, adds scarcely any strength to Zumalacarreguy, whose ground will not admit of his keeping any numerous body united. It is positively asserted that the Marquis de las Arne- Hiles will be appointed President of the Chamber of Proceres in the room of General Castagnon, who has declined it on ac count of his advanced age. The double prosecutions com menced against the assassins of July 17th, and the conspira tors of the 24th are going on in their regular course. It has been said that General Palafox is at liberty, but this is not correct." In the sitting of the Chamber of Procuradores at Madrid on the 99th ult., a letter from M. de Romorate, Procurador for the province of Biscay, was read, announcing that, being charged with the command of the naval forces on the coast of Bilboa, to second the operations of the land forces, he could not quit his post till another commander should be appointed i n hi s place. Another letter, from Don Antonio Maria Montenegro, Procurador of Pontevedra, was read, in which he alleged, as a reason for non-attendance, that he was C6t.lmandf.u. of.,the provincial military of that district, but would take his seat as soon as he should be superseded. A letter from the Minister of Grace and Justice was read, an nouncing that, out of the list of five candidates for the presi dency, laid before the Queen, her Majesty had chosen the Count Almodovar to be President, and Don Diego Medrano to be Vice-President. Bishop Posadas, the temporary Pre sident then resigned the chair to the Count d'Almodovar, and, in an appropriate speech, took leave of the Chamber, as he had been created a member of the Proceres. A Committee was then appointed to draw up the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, after which the Chamber adjourned. SPAIN. (From the French Papers of Fiiday.) The Moniteur says,—" The Government: last evening re ceived from Bayonne several telegraphic dispatches of the 6th and 7th instant. None of them contain precise details, but all confirm the intelligence of the advantages 'gained by Gen. Rodil. It appears that on the sth the insurgents were falling back into the valley of Bastan. Numerous rations had been ordered there, and great agitation prevailed along the whole frontier. Until the couriers of Rodil shall be able to pass through the insurgents we shall have no circumstantial details upon the military operations. What is certain is that the in surgents are every day more and more pressed, that the Queen's army follows closely upon them, and has constrained them, after several advantages to flock together towards our frontiers." The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 6th instant, received by express, contains the following :—" Th e surveillance in the vicinity of the mountains becomes every day more active. Blockade by sea is completely established, and if, as is sup posed, Holland, to avenge the siege of Antwerp, supplies the Pretender with arms and ammunition and ships, they will be taken and sequestrated." The following telegraphic dispatch was posted up at the Exchange yesterday :—" Saint Jean-de-Lu z , August 6. Don Carlos has come to Maria, an d appears to be concen trating himself at Elisondo. The insurgents admit that they received a check on the Ist instant ; their army appears to be concentrating itself upon Saint Estevan." Extract of a letter of the 3d inst. from Bayonne After two days' expectation we have received intelligence of an action which took place on the 30th ult., between the village of Lanz and the Hermitage of St. Urbain. The troops of Rodil were opposed to the first and third battalions of Navarre, and the second of Alava. The insurgents lost one hundred men in killed and wounded. Sixty, who were taken prisoners, were instantly shot. After the action the insurgents retired to Roncevaux ; another part of their army is at Piedramillera. Rodil is at Echarri-Aranaz, Don Carlos is at San Estevan, and the insurrectionary junta at Elisondo. The printing ap paratus, and the manufactory of arms and ammunition, have been transferred to Lecaroz." The arrest of the persons compromised in the conspiracy at Madrid was effected in the night previous to the opening of the Cortes, as may be seen f rom the following circular of the 24th ult., addressed by the. Minister of the War Department to the Captains-General of the provinces : " Excellent Senhor,_The solemn opening of the Cortes, et which her Majesty the Queen Regent presided, took place this morning. The ceremony was majestic, the spectators numerous, and the enthusiasm great, without public order hav ing been troubled in the slightest degree. A handful of fana tics had formed an insane project, which was intended to be put into execution this day, interrupting the solemnity of so majestic a proceedinc, at such a happy moment. The Govern ment of her Maje s ty discovered the plot last night, caused the persons implicated to be arrested, and the hopes of the male volent have been completely defeated." A courier, who left Madrid on the 3lst, at four in the morn ing, announces that the peace of that capital had not been in any degree disturbed since the 17th. A Barcelona journal, El Vapor, dated July 29, says, w e know, from unquestionable authority, that the French Govern ment, finding that no dependence was to be placed on the promise of the Carlist Guerilla Chiefs to remain in the several depOts allotted to them, has ordered them to be considered and treated as prisoners of war. After the repeated instances of escape, where the parties have joined the insurgents on passing the frontier, it was high time to adopt some measure of this sort." The Madrid Gazette of the 30th ult., which we have re ceived by express, gives the following official report upon the military operations in Navarre :—" As soon as the army from Portugal became incorporated with the army of the n ort h , i n the environs of Puente la Reyna, as soon as its force was or ganised into divisions and brigades, and every measure was complete for putting it in motion and enabling it to act with effect, the Commander-i n - Chi e f co mmenc e d his operations in combination with the troops occupying the Basque Pro vinces, which were also under his command. A strong corps, under General Auleo, composed of a division of infantry, a brigade of the same, nearly a whole brigade of a cavalry, and some artillery, began to operate by making the fortress of Pam peluna its central point, and extending itself towards Larraga and Sesma, in order to cut off the communications with the Rivera, the low country which extends from the foot of the mountains towards Puente la Reyna, Estella, and the Ebro. Two other divisions of infantry, with that of the vanguard, as well as the staff, set out on the 22d from Muez for the Bo runda. The forces of the Basque provinces, Alava, Biscay, and Guipuscoa, under the orders of El Pastor, Gen. Espar_ tero, and Col. Carrera, assembled on the same day at Salva tierra. The rebels were nearly all concentrated in the Borun da, where those of Biscay had also assembled. This being the state of things, on the 23d the forces immediately under the command of the General-in-Chief made their way into the valley, and on that day head-quarters were established at Echari Aranaz. In consequence of this movement, the re bels broke off in three directions; two battalions towards the chain of mountains which separates Navarre from Guipuscoa, the Biscayans towards their own province, and Zumalacarre guy with the rest towards Las Amczcuas. On the 25th, the vanguard under the orders of Brigadier Figueras having been left in position, and the General-in-Chief having moved to Salvatierra, with the first and second divisions of infantry and some cavalry, the enemy under Zumalacarreguy made his appearance between Olazagoitia and Ciordia. An engage ment then began, in which the latter were dislodged from their formidable positions in the gorges of Santa Marina and Olazagoitia, and pursued in various directions for three leagues from the point at which the contest began. The Gen. in-Chief announces in a succinct report that this day would have been decisive but for the thickness of the woods which flank the gorges, and facilitated the escape of the enemy. He praises the ardent bravery of the troops on this occasion. On the 26th the forces of General Espartero and Colonel Carrera joined those of the General in Chief at Salvatieri a. On the preceding day El Pastor marched for Guipuscoa. Col. Amos with his cavalry was sent to Vittoria, from which place a large convoy of provisions was sent out for the troops in .the Borunda. Brigadiers Bedoyer and Iriarte are overrunning Biscay with a body of troops. The important point of Quetaria, in Guipuscoa, and the no less important point of Bermeo, in Biscay, have been fortified, armed, and provi sioned, so as to be a support both to the operations of the squadrons that blockade the coasts as well as the land forces. In forty-eight hours eight hundred men carried on the works of Bermeo with the utmost rapidity, and it is garrisoned by the provincial regiment of Truxillo. The naval service is carried on with the most scrupulous exactitude. At Vittoria, on the 24th, the festival on the opening of the Cortes was celebrated with enthusiasm. The Urban Militia attended the parade in great numbers, as well as the 3d battalion of the infantry of San Fernando, which is already clothed. Castor has re appeared in the Encrtationes (a district in Old Castille, on the frontiers of Biscay, en j oy i ng the privileges of the last-named province), where d e t ac h ments h ad b een assem bled at various points,in order to destroy him. Merino re mains concealed. His adherents, disseminated in small bands of from twenty to thirty men, endeavour to keep the country in alarm, and defeat the active pursuit of the columns under the orders of the Commandants Claveria, Album; Obregon, and others, who are in constant chase of them. Troops from Zemora and Leon are making their way towards, whence the Carbineers of the frontier, who had come from Almeida, had marched for the mountain. On the side of Arragon, Briga dier Linaries, with a column, is watching the canal of Verdun, and the remainder of the frontier of Arragon and Navarre. In the environs of Sarcedon a small band of rebels has made its appearance, but being soon attacked by the Urban Militia, it dispersed. The Commandant-General of Guadalaxara has taken all necessary measures for employing with advantage the moveable column of the province, which is about to be re- STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) The Leeds Cloth Markets during the past week have again been very brisk, and most descriptions of goods find ready sale, although no improvement is experienced in prices. It may in fact be received as one proof of the sound and healthy state of business at present, that, notwithstanding the effec tive demand for goods, and the sensible reduction of the . stocks in the market, the spirit of speculation is so entirely extinguished amongst manufacturers and buyers that prices are kept steady. It is an undoubted fact that at the prices now asked foi English wools goods could not be produced without an advance. Last year's tide of speculation reached the woolgrower last and leaves him last. But the consumer waits the natural result patiently, satisfied that it is better to do so than risk another stoppage of the trade by again giving way to extravagant demands and groundless notions. Bradford Market on Thursday was very brisk ; a great many goods were sold at last week's prices. Wool continued firm. Yarns were also in request. HALIFAX.—Very hare done in the Piece Hall on Saturday. Prices remain low ; and numerous hands are idle, chiefly on account of the high price of wool. HUDDERSFIELD.—The market on Tuesday was somewhat lively, and large quantities of cloth changed hands at old Prices. The complaint still is, that no profit is made by the small manufacturers. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUGUST 4. The Flannel Market, on Monday last, was again well attended by buyers of all descriptions of flannels, so that in a very short time the market was cleared of all the goods, and a general advance of the prices of last week obtained. The exceptions were very rare. The demand was far greater than could be supplied, in almost all qualities of goods. The Wool Market was steady. YORK WOOL MARKET, AUGUST 7.—There has been a fair supply of wool at to-day's market, principally in moor wools, which have met with sales, if anything, at an advance of ls. per stone upon our last week's quotations, whilst in long wools the opposite has been observed, viz., a reduction of at least Is. or Is. 6d. per stone from our last week's quotations. Therefore we say superfine hog wool, 275. to 28s. ; for a good parcel of hog and ewe average, 245. to 275. 6d. ; moor wool, 13s. to 14s. 6d. ; and locks and cots, 16s. to 18s. The market, which has hitherto for the season been continued once a week, will now be once a fortnight from this day. DONCASTER WOOL FAIR—Was held on Tuesday last. The supply was extremely large, and there was a very numerous attendance of buyers. The sale was not so brisk as hereto fore, the prices obtained were lower, and the whole was no t disposed of. The follo w i ng aro t h e average prices :--hogs, 265. ; hogs and ewes, 235. ; ewes, 21s. ; locks, 12s. 6d. The authorities of the town, in compliance with the solicitations of tom a b n e y b i o l d o 1 0 - b o n t y: e r s fiarnd stSaturday farmers,have n s appointed additional fairs e fir Saturday in October. A wool-buyer from Bradford' had his pocket picked, near the theatre, of about 50/. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 9.—This evening his Majesty's ship Vernon, 52, Captain M. Kerlie, arrived frem Bermuda, in seventeen days, where she left the President, 52, Vice-Ad miral Sir G. Cockburn. The Gannet had been to Halifax, to land 25,0001. in specie, which she took out from England ; the same amount was landed from her at Bermuda. Upon Sir G.

The Emulous brig sailed on the same day for the Coast Guard service at Blackwall. The Columbia steam-vessel, Lieut. Alpin, was paid off yes terday at Woolwich, to be fitted as a troop-ship (with a poop) for the West India station, instead of the Blazer. The Castor, 36, Lord John Hay, is to sail from the Nore on the 14th, to join the Royal squadron on the return of her Majesty. - The Victorious, 74, has been taken into dock, to be fitted for a hulk. The basin is to be pumped dry, that the south dock gates (which weigh twenty-five tons each) may be taken off, and the entrance to it widened ten feet. The foun dation of the sea-wall of the basin will be examined, prepa ratory to tone erection of the double pair of masting sheers upon it. PROMOTIONS AND APPOI NTMENTS.—Lieutenant George St. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HO USE. A TENDENCY TO DISHONESTY.—On Saturday a re spectable tradesman from the west end of the town re quested that the Lord Mayor would give him advice under circumstances of rather a peculiar kind. He suspected that he had been imposed upon, but, if not, the transaction had a very odd appearance, and looked like a tendency to dis honesty. He kept a shop for the sale of fancy articles,and a gentleman, who said he resided at Hoxton, called with a few painting brushes used in a certain department of the art, and said he should leave them for experimental sale, as he dealt largely in the article. The LORD MAYOR—A very good beginning! I dare say he did not ask for any money at that time ! Complainant—Not at all. It was an article for which there is but little call : I told him to leave them, but I gave him no encouragement. The LORD MAYOR—NO, he did'nt want any : he knew how to do his business without anything of the kind.— •(A laugh.) Complainant—Some days passed when another gentle-- man came into the shop, and asked for some painting brushes ; and, the moment he described the sort he wanted, thinks I, I can just match you, and down I pulls the brushes which the Hoxton gentleman left with me. The LORD MAYOR—Ay, they were just the kind he wished to deal in. Complainant--Certainly, my Lord, they were. One would think that your Lordship had heard the whole busi ness before. W ell, he at once said " These are the very articles, and I shall want 141. or 151. worth of them as soon as possible." I told him I should see what I could do ; and, as the Hoxton gentleman mentioned that he should look in as he passed by in a few days, I looked out anxiously for him. The LORD MAYOR—And I'll engage you were not dis appointed. Complainant—No, my Lord, for he happened to pass by that very evening as I stood at the door. "Oh !" says he, apparently in a hurry, " I was just going to No. 17—any thing in my way ?" So I asked him in, and told him that I should want a quantity of the sample ; and next day he brought me 10/. worth, which he said was all he had, and so I paid him the money, and he promised to give me a call about a fresh supply. The LORD MAYOR—But he forgot to call. did you see his friend Complainant—Friend ! Good heavens ! do you call the other gentleman his friend The LORD MAYOR—To be sure I do. They wanted to get rid of a heavy article, and they very properly fixed upon you. Complainant—As sure as I live I have been done. Nei ther of them ever called since, and I have more painting brushes than I shall be able to sell in twenty years. I have just been inquiring in Tokenhouse-yard for the gentleman who ordered the brushes, but although I knocked at every door I couldn't find any such person. The LORD MAYOR—Why didn't you inquire for him before you bought the brushes ? Shopkeepers are con stantly taken in by reason of the want of common caution ; but I wonder that you have not been a sufferer before this, for you ran with your eyes open into the snare. Com plainant—l really suspect that the two fellows acted in concert. Well, then, The LORD MAYOR—Not a doubt of it. One of them was the brush and the other was the handle, and they swept you out of your money. HATTON-GARDEN. A young man, who gave his name Henry Allen, of No. 7, Kent -street, Borough, was charged with being found in the Museum under the following circumstances Sir Henry Ellis, head librarian, Mr. Hawkins, of the antique department, and other officers of the Institution, were present. John Young, one of the attendants, said that ten mi- nutes to six that morning, as he was walking throuWh;;;; on the ground floor, which adjoined the apartment contain ing the ancient and foreign coins, he missed several articles, and amongst them his own cap. " Well, your Honour," continued the witness, " I sits meself down, an' says I, the Devel—who, by Shaint Patrick, has been here.—(A laugh.) But 'twas no laughing mather, for the same in sthant I seed a hat on the ground ; murther, cries I, and up I jhumped to find the thief, when I seed my cap on the head of a 'gyptian mummy—(Loud laughter) - -so that's yer tricks, is't, said I, and I was jest a going to tak it off, when I felt the mummy was wharm (every one in Court was here convulsed with laughter) ; so, as you may sup pose, I tuck to my legs, an' ran out of the room. Thin, says I, an' sure a wharm mummy can't hurt me, so I turns back an' pulls me cap from fiver his face, an' calls out, blood an' ouns, who are ye ? and he says 'gyptian mummy—(Laughter) —you lie, says I ; an' up I pulls him and tucked him to the centinel, an' here he is yer Worchip." The prisoner, who had a very good address declared that he had been locked in while absorbed in the contemplation of the various works of art. He, however, made no alarm, and all the officers connected with the Museum said they had no doubt the prisoner, finding that he could not escape with any property, in consequence of the guard of soldiers, determined to conceal himself till the doors were opened for the visitors next day. Mr. Sergeant SELLON committed for three months. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. William Berry, the driver of a Camberwell omnibus, and Thomas Hassell, driver of a Camberwell short stage, were brought before Mr. DYER at the instance of the police, charged with having raced against each other, whereby people's lives became endangered. Mr. DYER should inflict the full penalty of the law on each, and adjudge them to pay hi., or go to prison for three months. MARYLEBONE. In the evening a man of fashionable appearance was charged with having been engaged in an extensive syst em o f swindling. He was d escr ibe as a well-known frequenter of the principal gambling-houses, and an associate of several well-known characters, and was remanded till Friday, when it is expected a host of charges will be preferred againt him. UNION-HALL Inspector Saunders gave information of the suspected murder of a child by its father. On Friday the father, who lives apart from his wife, took out his youngest child, aged eighteen months, for a walk. After several hours he returned to the house of the woman who had charge of the children, and said the child was in heaven. He was asked to make an explanation, but he precipitately took his de parture. The child had since been found in the Surrey Canal, but the police had not been able to discover the father. The Magistrates observed that the circumstances war ranted very strong suspicions against the father. A new novel is announced under the title of " The Man of Honour." We have always thought that a town " Man of Honour" made an excellent hero, both for the dra matist and the novelist; and are therefore glad to observe that another writer has now taken up the amusing subject (so abundant in opportunities for the display of wit and humour), who, there is little doubt, is well qualified to do justice to the theme. The name of the authoress has not yet transpired. A person moving in modern high society has many opportunities of observi ng th e career o f our m i sname d " M en o f Hon,au e r, ' and is able t o p r es en t t o us some very amusing pictures of th se miserable schemers.

(From Medwin's " The Angler in Wales.") Forrester, afterwards surgeon on board of the convict ship lost off Boulogne, and who went down with her, poor fellow ! wrote two very interesting letters describing a visit to him at Missolonghi, a few weeks before Byron's death. Missolonghi is just as wretched a collection of houses and huts as can well be imagined. It stands in the recess of a large and shallow bay, upon a morass which extends from the bay to the foot of the hills, which rise two or three miles inland. The season was very rainy, and the houses were insulated among mire and water—the communication being kept up by stepping -stones and attempts at trottoirs, which resembled low walls, in passing over which, the least loss of equilibrium would plunge the unfortunate peripa tetic in deep mud. A visit to Lord Byron was our first step on landing ; his abode was a tolerable house close to the part of the beach most convenient for landing or going afloat. It had, for the place, great pretension, and was ap proached by a gateway opening into a little miry court yard, surrounded by a wall, with some small offices on one side. The principal and only tolerable room was ap proached by an outward stair. Three sides were furnished with sofas in the Turkish taste. A delf shelf, apparently stuck against the wall, was loaded with books ; the floor was encumbered with packing-cases, some nailed down, some opened ; the latter filled with books, as, I took for granted were the former. Round the walls were appended to nume rous nails and pegs, fowling-pieces and pistols of various de scriptions and nations ; sabres and yataghans. The corri dor or antichamber, or whatever else it might be termed, swarmed with Mainotes and others, armed to the teeth. We were ushered in by Tit), his lordship's chasseur, who reminded me of the French Sappeurs, as he wore a bushy beard, with his livery, which was set off with two silver epaulettes. He was an immense fellow, upwards of six feet in height, and although well-proportion e d foi such a hercu lean figure, his frame was too large and heavy for his sta ture to come within the desCription of elegant. His page was a young Greek, dressed as an Albanian or Mainote, with very handsomely chased arms in his girdle, and his maitre-dlotel, or fac-totum, an honest looking, though not remarkably elastic Northumbrian, named Fletcher, who seemed, and doubtless with reason, a great favourite with his master. * * * On sitting down to dinner, which, to deliver us from plague and pestilence, was set on a deal table, without the intervention of a cloth, he laughingly apologised for his table, which, from the circumstances wherein he was then placed, was not, as he said, trop bier montee ; but he felt the less annoyed when he reflected that persons of our profession understood those things, and were of course pre pared for all sorts of privations. He then bustled about, actively assisted by Fletcher, who was but poorly aided by the Greek menials in placing the dishes to the best advan tage, drawing corks, and all the et ecetera of the table. To dispose the table was rendered a service of some difficulty by its compendiousness. On opening a bottle of wine, and inspecting the complexion of its contents, his lordship ques tioned Fletcher as to its name and lineage. " I really don't know, my Lord," was the reply. " Then away with it," he rejoined—" I hiite anonymous wine." * * • One observation of his I must not forget to notice. When speaking of the lonian Islands, he observed, " On return ing to them, I formed-a very different and a much more favourable opinion than I had before entertained, and ex pressed, of Sir Thomas Maitland's administration. In short, I found them getting rich under it." On being asked if he had seen him when at Corfu, he said, " I called on him, and he was in the country." * * * • On looking over the arms about the room, his lordship asked the principal of the party if he would like to try a shot with pistols ? On his answering affirmatively, he walked up to the landing-place of the outside stairs, from which they fired at Masaschino bottles, placed on a pilaster in the court, upwards of twelve paces off. They had an equal number of shots. Byron struck each time. His an tagonist missed once, although a very good shot. But one of Lord Byron's was excellent. The upper part of a bottle, which his competitor broke, fell on the top of a pilaster, and remained there, reduced to a size not much larger than a finger-ring. Instead of having another bottle placed, he took aim at this fragment, and reduced it to dust. His precision was the more surprising, because his hand shook as if under the influence of an ague fit, and the time he took to take aim would have made any other man's hand unsteady. On trying at the same marks, placed out of everything like pistol-range, neither succeeded. As each fired, a large Labrador (bull) dog, named Lion, ran and picked up the bottle, which he laid at the bottom of the stair. I remarked to Lord Byron, as we were laughing at his officiousness, " That is an honest tyke of yours."-- " Oh ! oh !" he replied, " I find you are half a countryman of mine."—" I answered I was a whole Scotsman."— " Then we are half countrymen," said he ; " my mother was Scotch." LADY SCOTT.—" I went and visited him the first time I had occasion to be in Edinburgh, expecting to see Mrs- Scott, a kind of half black-a-moor whom our sheriff had mar ried for a great deal of money. I knew nothing about her, and had never heard of her, save from his own description! but the words as dark as a blackberry' had fixed her colour Inde libly on my mind. Judge of my astonishment when I was introduced to one of the most beautiful and handsome crea tures, as Mrs. Scott, whom I had ever seen in my life. A brunette certainly, with raven hair and large black eyes, but in my estimation a perfect beauty. I found her quite affable, and she spoke English very well, save that she put always th e d for the th, and left the aspiration of the h out altogether. She called me all her life Mr. Og. I understood perfectly well what she said ; but for m an y y ears I cou ld not make her understand what I said ; she had frequently to ask an expla nation from her husband ; and I must say thi s o f L ady Scott, though it was well known how j ealous sh e was of the rank of I Sir Walter's visit ors, yet was all my life received with the same kindness as if I had been a relation, or one of the family, although oneot no oe f r verys h , i b s o m t ph o l s ep t aos h ea o tn m st andeelyoudn. pat associates.iielaynya:nacc countenance.
