RUSSIA. (From the Naval and Military Gazette of this day.) Russia has a fleet of 23 sail of the line in the Euxine, moored within 60 hours' sail of Constantinople ; 27 ships of the line in the Baltic; and 50,000 chosen troops ready to be embarked at a moment's notice! With the foregoing facts before us, what is the course left for England to pursue ? Either to abandon all further interference in the policy of Continental Europe (as the United States of North America do), or instantly to assume the offensive. No middle course will answer; we must be either the arbiter of Europe in respect to the balance of power, or entirely abstain from any interfe rence between Russia and Turkey. Looking to the pacific nature of the speech of the King of the French—to the threatening tone adopted by the President of the United States towards France for the restitution of former claims —to the close commercial alliance between America and Russia—to the want of all virtue and energy in the rem nant of the Turkish empire—to the prostrate condition of Poland—to the hostility of Holland—and the commercial tariff of Germany, we are (it is undeniable) in the midst of a sea of troubles. If reliance could be placed on France —if Austria could be brought to a sense of its perilous condition with reference to Russia, and that Metternich would not object to the re-creation of the kingdom of Poland, our course would be clear and practicable. We should instantly insist on the re-construction of the ancient and gallant Polish dynasty, as the most effectual barrier which could be opposed to Russia. If, we say, the Powers above-mentioned could be relied on, and brought to co-operate cordially, then might we resume our commanding interference for the regulation of the balance of power; but we distrust Frazee, and we have little hope of Austria ; both have their own aggran dizing views, and each would be glad to have the aid of England merely so far as it might minister to their desires. The statesman will then ask, " What is England to do? Does not Mahmoud hug his fetters, aye, even dance in his golden chains ? Does not Mehemet Ali now pay him tribute ? Do not the rulers of Austria and Prussia hold secret negotiations with Russia, and even with France? And is not France herself personally care less of the annihilation of Russia, and fearful of the Cos sacks again tracking their route to Paris? Where, then," says the statesman, "is she to look for succour?" We reply, in herself. Let there be no more talk of disband. ing our army; let the militia be put in readiness; let our fleets be strengthened in the Mediterranean and in the Baltic; and let possession be instantly taken of the island of Candia ; then let us watch and wait coming events ; let us lie on our oars, and be prepared for the storm ; burst it will, and with it will arrive the war of opinion so long predicted, and which our free institutions will enable us, not only to weather, but also to be a rally ing point for liberty and honour.

Baussims, DEc. 29.—M. Goblet is preparing to set out for Berlin, to take the place of Ambassador, in the zoom of General Merckx, who arrived at Brussels yes terday. _ _ _ Two Royal ordinances, dated Dec. 27, are published, the first accepting the resignation of General Goblet as Minister for Foreign Affairs, the second appointing Count Felix de Merode to hold that office ad interim. ANTWERP, DEC. 28.—The Dutch corvette Comet struck at the entrance of the basin of Flushing, and sunk. At low water mark men were employed to get out the cannon, &c. ; meantime the passage is blocked up, and the Bellona merchantman, bound for Batavia, is hin dered from putting to sea by this accident. BRUSSELS, Dire. 31.—Count Lebartier has already enlisted SOO men for the service of Donna Maria. These men go from Ostend to Gravesend, thence they are sent to Lisbon. Count Vincent Toozkiewiez, proprietor of estates in Galicia, and one of the principal chiefs in the Polish in surrection in the Ukraine and Podolia, arrived at Brussels yesterday evening with his family : he has been expelled from the Austrian States, and successively from several German principalities, at the request of the Emperor Nicholas. BRUSSELS, DEC. 31.—The Moniteur contains the Royal Ordinance promulgating the Budget of the Ways and Means for 1834, agreed to by the two Chambers. The estimate of the revenue is 84,279,578 francs. M. Beaulieu, Aide_de-Camp to General Goblet, will accompany him to Berlin. M. Serrings, hitherto Secre tary of Legation at Berlin, will go as Charge d'Affaires to Lisbon. The manufacturers of Ronaix, in East Flanders, have declared their formal assent to the representations made to the King by the manufacturers of the other cities of the kingdom, respecting the alarming situation of the cotton manufactories; they know no means of improving it, but those stated by their brethren. BRUSSELS, Jarr. I.—The Deputation of the Senate will proceed to the Palace to-day at half-past one, to compliment their Majesties on the new year. The Members of the Court of Cessation and the public bodies will also compliment their Majesties on the same occasion. The Chamber of Representatives having adjourned, there will be no deputation. A great number of soldiers, whose furloughs expired yesterday, waited on the Commandant of the Place to join their respective regiments ; but their furloughs having been prolonged to the 31st of March, they were sent back to their homes. Those who did not wish to take advan tage of this prolonged leave of absence were sent to their repective regiments. The Moniteur of to.day publishes the law by which the amount of the army on the war establishment for 1834 is fixed at 110,000 men, not including the moveable civic guard. The amount of the levy for 1834 is fixed at the minimum of 12,000 men, who are placed at the disposal of the Government. A decree of the 31st December describes the several kinds of medals which are to be given by the Government. The Senate having, in its sitting of December 29, con cluded the discussion on the budget of ways and means, which it adopted by a majority of 29 to 3, discussed, on the 30th and 31st, the budget of the war department, which it voted, and yesterday closed the general debate on the budget of the department of Justice. The debate on the several articles will be on Thursday. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BRUSSELS, Dec. 31. Actual Debt, 234 per Cent. Rothschild's Loan, 5 per Cent 95 Loan of the City, 1832, 4 per Cent.

In 1832 the arrivals were 1,258 ships, measuring 145,639 tons. There has, therefore, been a diminution of 150 ships, and 28,419 tons, compared with 1832, which is the more remarkable, as the siege of the citadel entirely suspended the navigation of the Scheldt for six weeks in 1832. —Journal du Corn. mere d'Anvers, Jan. 2.

Many and very curious details (not hitherto known) relative to the famous battle of Fontenoy are ornnrised in the new hist orical novel, " The Black Watch." . The author has been fivoured by access to Valuable documents connected with the subject ; and has been, therefore, enabled to describe that memorable action, and the subsequent rejoicings at the Court of Louis XV. in Paris. One of the midnight orgies at Versailles, in which Madame de Pompadour is brought on the scene, will be read with no little astonishment, and will almost Vindicate the fierce revolution which subsequently de • throned the son of that voluptuatis monarch. THE LATE HURRICANE. — On Tuesday last it blew a hurricane from the N.N.W. The City of London steam-boat, Captain Grant, left the Royal harbour of Ramsgate, at eight o'clock, A.M., and took in passengers at Margate. She experienced the commence• ment of the gale off Herne Bly, the liea breaking over her, and sweeping the decks fore and aft, obliging the pas• sengers to secure themselves to the sides and the ropes of the vessel; notwithstanding which she made good way, and reached the Nore at twelve o'clock. Several vessels were on shore at the mouth of the river, and the ships bad their sails torn in pieces. Many of them lost their sails, and were unmanageable. At Holyhaven a coast guard vessel got adrift, and was drifting down Sea Reach. One of his Majesty's revenue cutters went to her assist ance. The river has not been known to have been in such a rough and disturbed state fur many years. The City of London arrived safely, and landed her passen gers, amongst whom were several ladies, at St. Ka tharine's wharf at half-past four o'clock, r.st., and the passengers heartily thanked the Capin for his skill and great annum. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1834. The Journal des Debats, which, with the other I Paris papers of Wednesday, arrived last night, contains an article on the difference with Russia respecting Turkey, in which the writer assumes that the Emperor of RUSSIA will concede so far at least as to afford the British and French Governments a tolerable assurance for maintaining their present pacific disposition. What the extent of the concession is, which the British and French Cabinets consider sufficient to pre serve their honour and interests, we know not, but we very much disapprove of the confidence which many of our Contemporaries here and in France appear to repose in the pacific intentions, or the want of courage, of the Russian Em peror. We hope our Ministers and those of France do not hold a big language only in the belief that the Emperor of RUSSIA will not fight, and, therefore, that they may threaten the use of force with the certainty of not provoking any act of hostility ; for if that be the case, who can say but the Emperor of RUSSIA may have similar ideas as to a disincli nation for fighting on our part, and in a blind confidence of our pacific disposition, be in duced to go further than he would otherwise have done, and render war inevitable ? This would be something like the scene in " Pere grine Pickle," between the Painter and the Doctor, and would be disgraceful to the national character. Before the British and French Cabinets made any remonstrance to Russia, it was their duty to decide on adopting the alternative which would be open to them in the event of the re jection of that remonstrance. They ought not to speculate for a moment upon the probable effect of warlike demonstrations and menaces on the mind of the Emperor of RUSSIA, but pre serve a dignified calm during the discussion, relying rather upon the justice of their own cause and their means of enforcing it than upon the supposed reluctance of the EMPEROR to plunging into a contest. It appears by the Brussels papers which arrived this morning that a Polish Count, who was lately the proprietor of extensive estates in Galicia, had arrived in Brussels, having been expelled from the Austrian States at the request of the Emperor of RussiA. This is another, and by no means a surprising, instance of the influence exercised by the Emperor of RUSSIA over his allies and confederates. The next step will probably be the military execution of every Polish subject of the Austrian and Prussian Sovereigns, who may be suspected by the Em peror of RussiA of entertaining opinions similar to those of the patriots of the Duchy of Warsaw. There is no news of interest in these papers. Prussian papers to the 26th ult. arrived this morning. They contain no news of importance. The plan of giving dinners to the Liberal Members of the House of Commons, by their constituents, continues in favour. It certainly affords an excellent means of keeping Honour able Members in mind that they have consti tuents, and that those constituents expect their wishes to be fulfilled ; whilst the good things the company discuss before the speechifying begins, serves to smooth away the asperity of political feelings. The last of these politico convivial meetings which we have to record took place at Chard on Tuesday last, being a dinner given to Mr. C. J. TYNTE, the Member for West Somersetshire. There is one thing to be remarked in the speeches de livered at this dinner (given elsewhere), which we have noticed in every former dinner of the kind, viz., the necessity which the Member has been under, however devoted to Ministers, of acknowledging that they had not enough relied upon the people, but had truckled to their ad versaries. Thus Mr. TYNTE says : " My Hon. and Rev. Friend has eulogized his Majesty's Ministers, and I quite concur with him that more has been done by the present Ministry in one Session, than by any former Ministry in years—(Cheers)—but yet, allowing them great praise, I must also give them some blame, for not having been less conciliatory with the party who formerly held power, and for not having (backed as they would have been by the people of England) assumed a bolder attitude, and a more energetic tone.—(Loud cheers. )" The cheers with which declarations of this kind have been uniformly received, will, if Ministers be wise, be taken as a hint by them that they must change their course. Mr. TYNTE'S declaration of his conversion to the ballot, is one among many symptoms that the next Parliament at farthest will render conscien tious voting as safe to the poor as to the rich.

We are informed on private authority, that on a very recent occasion matters were so bad, that had not timely assist ance arrived from Java, Padang itself would have fallen into the hands of the natives. We are also informed by letters, that disturbances have taken place at Jambia, near Palembang, whither troops have been sent. The following is from the Java Courant :—" Intelligence has been received that the Chief Jambia, supported by some dis contented natives of Palembang, had made an inroad into the district of Rawas, belonging to the Presidency of Palembang.

A few chests of the former have been sold at 640 Spanish dollars per chest, while the latter maintained its previous price. The Market for new Malwa opened at 600 Spanish dollars per chest. The dealers, who were in the first instance anxious to pur chase at 600 Spanish dollars, finding no firmness among the holders, ceased buying, and are waiting a farther fall. Turkey remains still dull of sale; the deliveries are :—Patna, old, 29, new, 267-296 ; Benare, old, 11, new, 118-129; Malwa, 172. Total, 597. There is at present a large quantity of Quicksilver in the hands of the Chinese; quotations nominal. The demand for finer qualities of cotton yarn has ceased, and the numbers 16 to 30 are alone saleable. _ Green Teas have considerably declined in price, owing to the departure of most of the American ships. The stock in hand is not extensive. For long cloths and woollens there is a demand. The Red Rover arrived yesterday from China, of the ;Nth June, under distressing circumstances, having lately lost her commander in a heavy squall. Accounts from Paris this morning state that letters from Port-au-Prince have been received by the Cuirassier. They announce that a new treaty has been concluded, of which the principle articles are, that the debt of 150 millions is reduced to 75 millions, and that the sum of million francs already received is to be deducted from the former sum; and that a million shall be paid annually for twenty-five years until the debt is paid off'.

The French Express has not yet arrived ; consequently we are without political news. The Foreign Market is the same as yesterday in prices. HALF PAST ONE. No express as yet from Paris in the City, which is rather ex traordinary, as the weather is favourable for its arrival.

The Commissioners resumed their adjourned investigations this morning, at a quarter past eleven o'clock. Sir F. PALGRAVE in the Chair. Mr. Woodthorpe, the town-clerk, continued his evidence relative to the constitution of the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen. There are four officers, the Recorder, the Cham. berlain, Common Clerk, and Common Sergeant. But of recent date other officers are allowed to take their seat at the table when occasion required, namely, the Judges of the Sheriffs' Court, the Comptroller, Remembrancer, and Solicitor. Other officers were allowed to be in Court, but below the bar, the Sheriffs, Common Pleaders, and the Secondaries ; the two latter, however, rarely attend unless they have actual business before the Court. Their admission is by sufferance. The Sherif% have a duty to perform at every Court, namely, to lay before the Court a report of the state of the gaols, signed by the keepers and surgeons. The attendants on the Court are the sword-bearer, the mace-bearer, and the common-crier stationed at the outside of the door. No summons is issued without the Lord Mayors order. There are four yeomen of the water-side whose duty it is to summon the members of the Court, two of whom are in waiting every alternate week. When there is any special business, particularly appeals and elections, it is always usual to give notice of the summons. Since 1815 it has been customary to make out at the beginning of every mayoralty a sort of calendar of court days, in the nature of an almanack, which had been found very convenient. The Lord Mayor, however, had the sole power of fixing the days. This was an invention of Mr. Woodthorpe, founded on the average of business which had been approved of by every Lord Mayor, as it enabled him to make his arrange ments. There were from 15 to 20 fixed court days. Sometimes the courts were not held on the calendar days, as when other public business interferes, and in that case the Lord Mayor gives public intimation that the court has been postponed. Twenty-five is the full number to make a Court. It is not the practice to count out, from want of a quorum; after being once consti tuted, business was proceeded with till an objection was taken. If one member out of twenty.five takes an objection, and con tumaciously persists, and leaves the room, the Court is broken up. But in that case he would be liable to penalties for his absence. They never proceed to business till there are twelve in the room, besides the Lord Mayor. One Alderman leaving is in the nature of a protest; and any other member taking notice of his departure, would break up the Court. Once appear ing in the Court, it is considered that the presence of the whole number is essential to the business of the meeting. It is not usual, however, to take such objections, although instances have occurred. The officers at the table have no vote. He did not know any instance of a Court being held by adjourn ment without a fresh summons. It was the duty of every Al derman to attend the Court, and the principle of its unity de pends on immemorial usage. The Lord Mayor may summon a Court of Aldermen at a moment's notice, and in some in stances he is obliged to do it, particularly on occasion of the death of the King. It is not necessary that the summons should be written ; a court may be called by a verbal message delivered by one of the Lord Mayor's household officers. Since recourse has been had to the calendar, it is not usual that there is any deficiency of aldermen to make up a quorum. Tuesday and Friday are the ordinary Court days, but the Lord Mayor may call a meeting any day, even on Sunday, as was the case on the demise of his late Majesty, and also about a fortnight ago, when the disturbances took place in Portsoken ward. The object was to guard against a breach of the peace. The Court was summoned by verbal message In an hour's interval after the Calthorpe-street affair. The Court of Aldermen is a Court of appeal as well as of original juris diction. Every redemptioner or claimer for freedom by pur chase is a petitioner. Every such petition must be presented by an Alderman. Notices are usually sent to petitioners, but it is a matter of favour.

Collier was indicted for feloniously forging a certain transfer of the sum of 2,044/. Is. 3d. Three per Cent. annu ities, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. In a second count the prisoner was charged with feloniously uttering a certain forged transfer, and, in other counts, the charge was varied as to the intent to defraud, lay ing the property in the amount of stock to be in Richard Squire and others. The prisoner, a person of middle age and gentlemanly ex terior, who was described in the calendar as a surgeon by pro fession, pleaded Not Guilty. Sir JAMES SCARLETT (With whom were Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. BULLOCK) stated the case to the Jury on behalf of the prosecution, which was instituted by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The Learned Gentleman reminded the Jury that the Law in respect to forgery had been recently altered, and certain offences were now exempted from capital punishment. The offence with which the prisoner stood charged came within the exemption though the forgery of a warrant of attorney for such a transfer as had been effected in the present case was still a capital crime and punishable with death. Mr. Richard Squire examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I reside at Kings Langley, in Hertfordshire. I hold in my hand the pro bate of the will of Mrs. Mary Martin, of Beakensfield, under which I am trustee of certain money, 1,6001., left by her to her niece, the wife of the prisoner. This money was invested in the Funds id' the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, in the names of the prisoner and myself as trustees, and I now produce the original receipt of the purchase, it being 2,0441.35. Id. The prisoner was entitled, during his life and that of his wife to receive the dividends upon that sum. The brokers who acted in the purchase were Messrs. George and Henry Wheeler. I never assisted in any manner, nor consented to the transfer at any time of the stock. Mr. Francis Henderson, a clerk in the Three per Cent. Reduced Office, at the Bank of England, produced the transfer book in which the transfer in question was entered. Mr. Richard Squire was shown the book, and proved that the signature, William Collier, was in the handwriting of the prisoner, but the signature, " Richard Squire," was not in witness's writing, The prisoner was well acquainted with the witness's person, and could not mistake another person for the witness, Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON (who with another gen tleman defended the prisoner)—Know the prisoner's son, whose name I believe is William Collier. I had under the advice of Counsel a suit in Chancery, with the prisoner in con sequence of his seeking for the transfer to him of certain pro perty devised to his wife under the will of Mrs. Martin, and that trasfer was directed by the Court of Chancery. Witness has sustained no loss, nor has any demand been made upon him by the prisoner's wife since the transfer with which the prisoner stands charged. Sir JAMES ScARLETT then put in the will of the late Mrs. Mary Martin, which was read by the Clerk of the Arraigns, and from it it appeared that the sum of 1,6004 was devised to trustees, in trust for her niece, the wife of the prisoner, with directions that if she died intestate the property should fall into the residuary estate. But a power to bequeath the same was given to the devisee. The will also appointed the prisoner and Mr. Squire trustees and executors, who were exempted from being answerable for the defaults of each other respectively,. Mr. Squirerecalled and examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The sum of 1001. bequeathed to the prisoner's son, was paid to him when he came of age in July, 1632, together with the accu mulated interest, making together the sum of 1401. Mr. John Rumsey examined by Mr. BULLOCK—I am a soli citor, residing at High Wycombe, in the county of Bucking ham, and know the prisoner, who, in 1826, communicated with me on the subject of a loan of two hundred pounds, which I obtained for him from Mr. John Law. The prisoner executed as a security the deed which I now produce, to which I was an attesting witness. It is executed by the prisoner, William Collier, Sarah Collier his wife, and John Law. The deed, dated August 2, 1826, was then put in and read. It recited the devise to the prisoner's wife, contained in the will of the late Mrs. Mary Martin, of the 1,6001. invested in the stock, and assign - ill the dividends of the stock to Mr. John Law as a security for the repayment of the loan of 2001. Examination resumed—The money advanced has not been repaid. Mr. Law is now dead, but I Produce the probate of his will. The prisoner formerly lived at Stoke Church, in Oxfordshire, but I do not know wben he left it. Cross-examined by Mr. TAYLOR—The interest upon the loans has not been paid. The prisoner has several young children. Mr. Bunter examined by Sir JAMES ScARLErr—I am clerk to Mr. Durant, stock-broker, and know the prisoner at the bar. I first saw him in Oct., 183.2,when he said he wanted to purchase 140/. 3 per cent. consols, which purchase I made. He paid me the money, and I gave him a stock receipt. The letter produced is in the prisoner's handwriting, and was sent to our office. It is addressed to Mr. Durant, and requests him to sell 1401., and stated Mr. Squire would attend to make a transfer to the pri soner's son, William Collier. I prepared the usual transfer ticket for the Bank of England, and the prisoner called on the 10th January last, two days after the date of the letter. The prisoner was attended by another person, and they were accom panied to the Bank of England to make the transfer by another clerk. William Blackburn examined by Sir JAMES ScAxtrrr—l am clerk to Mr. Durant, and attended the prisoner and another person to make the transfer at the Bank of England. I knew the prisoner, but not the other person. Mr. Richard Squire, nnw in Court, is not that person. I saw the prisoner execute the transfer, and the other person also, in the name of Richard Squire. ' ' ' - . The entry of the transfer was then read. It purported to be a transfer of 2,044/. 3s. Id., Three per Cents., by William Col lier and Richard Squire, to William Collier, junior. Examination resumed—l supposed the other person to be Mr. Squire, because the prisoner brought him. He passed as Mr. Squire. In the month of October following, the prisoner came again to Mr. Durant's office, to effect the sale of the stock 1201., and the documents produced are the pri soner's written instructions to prepare a power of attorney. The instructions I left, according to the usual practice, at the Bank of England, and procured the power of attorney, as re quired, and which was subsequently sent in a letter by the pri. soner, executed by himself, and purporting to be executed also by his son. The transfer was made accordingly, and the money was sent in Bank-post bills, addressed to the prisoner, at No. 2, Freeman.street, Liverpool. mouth frequently o 1.

The sale was made on the 13th of April, 1833, and the 2001. stock was transferred to the name of William Collier, Jun., and that sum of 2001. was part of the gross sum of 2,0441. 3s. Id. standing in the names of the prisoner and Mr. Squires. I was accompanied to the Bank by a person, but I cannot say who that individual was. The transfer signed Wm. Collier, Jun., I believe to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON - I cannot undertake to say that the signature might not be in the handwriting of the prisoner's son, but I believe it to be the prisoner's writing . There is a similarity in their handwriting. Mr. Henderson recalled—There is no other sum except the 2001. standing in the Funds in the name of William Collier, jun. Mr. John Rowland Durant examined by Sir JAMES SCAR LETT-I know the prisoner and remember the sale of some stock for him being effected by him at my office. He subse quently applied to sell the 1,800/. and odd stock under a power of attorney, and I asked if it would not be better that his son should come to town to execute the transfer. The prisoner said it would be inconvenient for his son to come to town when the bank was open, which was then shut, and it was ultimately ar ranged that the transfer should be made by power of attorney, which was subsequently forwarded by post to my office, exe cuted by the prisoner's son. The letter accompanying it di rected what I was to do with the proceeds of the sale, and was from the prisoner's son. Sir J. ScaaLErr proposed to read the letter. Mr. CLARKSON objected, on the ground that a letter of the prisoner's son could not be evidence against the prisoner. Mr. Justice GASELEE overruled the objection. Mr. James Hall Palmer, examined by Sir JAMES ScAlum. —I know the prisoner's son, who is, I believe, a schoolmaster at Stoke Church. I know the prisoner also, and of his going to Liverpool. The warrant of attorney produced was executed at my country house on the Ist of October, in the presence of the prisoner, his son, my brother, and myself. The prisoner came post to my country house, and said he expected to meet his son there. The prisoner produced the power of attorney, which the son executed, and the prisoner then took it away with him. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner was going into a partnership when he left Stoke Church to go to Liverpool. The letter produced is in the handwriting of the prisoner's son, who, I believe, is in Court. Mr. CLARKSON requested his Lordship to take a note of his objection to the letter of the prisoner's son to be given in evi dence. Mr. Justice GASELEE took a note of the objection, and the letter was put in and read. It directed the proceeds of the sale to be forwarded in three Bank Post Bills, at seven days' date, directed to Mr. Collier, 2, Freeman's-street, Liverpool. Sir JAMES SCARLETT then put in the Bank Post Bills, all of which were made payable to William Collier, Esq., and were endorsed in the hand-writing of the prisoner. The bills amounted to the sum of 1,604/. 13s. 7d. Mr. Thomas Mowles examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I am a clerk in the Bank of England, and produced the book contain ing the transfer of stock made yesterday by Mr. Mullens, the broker of the Bank of England, in the name of Mr. Ricardo, to the names of Collier and Squire. Mr. Mullens proved that he made the purchase of stock to replace the loss yesterday, by order of the Governor and Com pany of the Bank of England. - Sir J. SCARLETT then said, this was the case for the pro. secution. Mr. TAYLOR took a legal objection to the indictment, and contended that in point of law the prisoner had committed no fraud on any of the parties named in the indictment. The Court overruled the objection, and called upon the prisoner for his defence. The prisoner said that no fraud was intended upon the Bank of England, and no demand had been made upon them to supply the sum transferred. Mr. Robert Burgess, of Stoke Church, Mr. Pitkin, Mr. Thomas Dew, Mr. John Cole, and several other most respect able witnesses, gave the prisoner an unimpeachable character for honesty and integrity up to the transaction for which the prisoner now stood charged. Mr. Justice GASELEE, with great minuteness and perspi cuity, summed up the evidence to the Jury. At half-past one o'clock the Jury turned round to consider their verdict, and, after a deliberation of short duration, pro nounced a verdict of guilty of uttering, knowing to be forged, but not with the intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank. The COURT told the Jury it was necessary they should find the intent. The Jury again turned round, and, after a short consulta tion, found the prisoner guilty generally ; but recommended the prisoner to mercy, on account of his previous good character. _ Mr. Justice GASELEE said the recommendation should be forwarded to the Secretary of State. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIA,) John Ivey was indicted for stealing on the 16th of December, nine pound of pork, the property of Charles Best, a cheese monger on Bethnal Green. The Jury convicted the prisoner, and the Court sentenced him to seven years transportation. James Crackum, a chimney sweep, was indicted for stealing on the Xth of December a coat, the property of a Mr. Shipwash, a dealer in mineral waters in Ryder.street. From the statement of a person named Smith, a pal of the prisoner's, it appeared that on Boxing Day he and the prisoner went out together, for the purpose of taxing those whom they had honoured with sweeping their chimneys, with the payment of a gratuity in the shape of a Christmas box. Among the rest they called on the prosecutor, the prisoner going into his shop, the witness remaining outside. Shortly afterwards the prisoner returned with the coat, which he said had been given him by ➢lr. Shipwash for a Christmas box. The prisoner spoke so confidently upon the subject that he induced the witness to believe that Mr. Shipwash had really been generous enough to give him the coat, and he made no hesitation to agree to the request made by the prisoner to pledge the property for thirteen shillings, with the produce of which they made themselves merry, by drinking the compliments of the season to each in libations worthy of the most accomplished Bac chanalian. _ _ _ The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and the jury found him Guilty. WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF LODGINGS.—John Bailey, an old decrepid, but rather respectable looking man, was indicted for stealing, on the 24th December, two beds, two pillows, sheets, looking glasses, tables, tire-irons, and several other articles of household property belonging to a poor widow named Martha Catherine Townshend. The Prosecutrix stated that the prisoner rented two rooms in the parish of St. Pancras, one of which, in the month of May last, she let, furnished, to the prisoner and his wife, for 4s. a week. At first the rent was regularly paid, but ul timately they got 4/. in debt. On Christmas eve the prisoner and his wife left the lodgings in a clandestine manner; and on the prosecutrix entering the room which they had occupied, she found it stripped of every thing. A policeman apprehended the prisoner applying for relief at St. Pancras workhouse, and immediately took him into cus tody, having been apprised by Mrs. Townshend of her loss. The prisoner admitted that the property had been taken from the room and pledged. His wife, however, had all the dupli cates, and he had sent her 80 miles in the country to keep her out of trouble. The prisoner, in his defence, during the whole of which he appeared to be labouring under great distress of mind, said that he was told by his wife that the prosecutrix had given her permission to pledge the property. His wife had deserted him, and he had not seen or heard of her since the night they left the lodgings of the prosecutrix. Mr. Sergeant AitABIN summed up the case to the Jury, who immediately convicted the prisoner. The Learned Sergeant, after the delivery of the verdict, said—Gentlemen, you will hardly believe it, but the prisoner, who has made so pathetic a defence, has been previously convicted. In the course of the present week a free par. don arrived at Newgate for Palma-, the associate of John Minter Hart.

The first number of a new periodical publica tion, under the above title, has just appeared, under the joint superintendence of the Rev. Messrs. Cattermole and Stebbing. The idea is an excellent one, and, if well executed, cannot fail to become popular. We like the present specimen much. The introductory essay on the writings and character of Jeremy Taylor is writ ten in a learned spirit, but with ease, grace, and fluency. It was well to begin a work like the Sacred Classics with the writings of this emi nent divine, who is unequalled alike for the fervour of his piety and the lavish exuberance of his imagination. Those IN ho are unacquainted with the compositions of our old divinity writers, haveruras English but res a o e e imp er f ect id ea o f t h e r i c h, var i e d u thought, f ee li ng , an d l anguage t h a t o literature contains. Jeremy Taylor treasures very t is himself a host, to say nothing of such men as Barrow, Atterbury, Tillotson, Leighton, and many others of the same high rank of intellect that we could enumerate. As the present miscellany is singularly cheap in price, is brought out in an attractive form, and appeals to a wide and increasing class of readers, we cannot doubt that it will answer the purposes of all engaged in it. FORTY YEARS IN AMERICA. LONDON, 1834. This is a dull book, brightened up here and there by sprightly touches of humour, which wear all the appearance of having been interpo lated by some practised pen. We think we trace O'Doherty's hand in one or two of the most piquant sketches of character. With the excep tion of these rare gleams of vivacity, the book is as dull as can be well conceived. The author, amusing, and even original as Laurie Todd sinks into a mere common-place egotist as Grant Thorburn. He talks about himself—just as if there were no other person in the world worth talking about ; and tells us that the doctrine of a particular Providence is irrefragably established by his wonderful success as a tradesman in New York—just as if this proof were wanting to confirm his faith and ours ! Mr. Galt, in an amusing preface, talks of his protoge's avatar as an event likely to convulse the metropolis. " He is," says he, " a candle that cannot be hid under a bushel, but must, in deed, become conspicuous." Not so ; he is nothing more than a farthing rushlight, which has already twinkled and gone out. In plain truth, Grant Thorburn is an odd, good natured, well-meaning Scotchman of the old school, who astonished, and not a little puffed up by his worldly prosperity, seems to look on it as the crowning argument for his belief—as a proof that the age of miracles after having ceased for some centuries, bas been renewed by Provi dence in his own person. His claims to noto riety rest chiefly on his square-toed shoes, and acre of hat, by which, though unquestionably he may perplex, he will scarcely electrify, civilized society. To those among our readers who are fond of harmless, anile twaddle, such as good old ladies are in the habit of doling forth at the tea-table, we recommend Mr. Grant Thor burn's autobiography. To such . he will ap pear pretty much like a born genius; for he is never tired of gossiping about himself and his neighbours ; how one got well, and another fell sick ; how he himself was nearly run over by a dray-cart, and a friend of his grew wicke,.; uiti took to drink—singular anecdotes, which he tells with that grave, mysterious shake of the head which lends such point to an old woman's history of her last " rheumatiz." If there be such a thing as a bump of loquacity, Grant Thorburn's must be as big as an ostrich's egg. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
