LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat this morning at ten o'clock, in a Com• mitts of Privileges, to hear further arguments and evi dence on Captain Berkley's claim to the Peerage of Berkley. ROLLS COURT. JUDG3IENT —SIB. THOS. STANLEY V. ROBINSON. The AIASTEP. of the ROLLS gave judgment this morning in this case. The bill was filed by Sir Thomas Stanley, for the specific performance of an agreement entered into by the defendant, who, in 1806, was in possession of a certain piece of land, called Hay-field, haring obtained an interest therein by the assignment of a legacy of SC/. to his father, slim was land agent to the Earl of Shrewsbury. The representative's of the brother of the defendant were likewise in possession of two leases of land, adjoining the defendants, which they assigned for a consideration to Sir Thomas Stanley, who also agreed to take from the de fendant the Hay-field, giving him a rent of 61. a-year. This rent Sir Thomas paid regularly for two years, at the termination of which period he declined paying any thing further, stating that the Hay-field formed part of the land that was already under lease to him. The defendant was desired to call at his mansion -house, to see if some ar rangement could be made, when it was stated to him by professional men that he had little or no interest in the property, and ultimately an agreement was entered into, by which the defendant's interest was purchased fur a small consideration. Afterwards, its consequence of legal advice, an ejectment was brought by the defendant, and a verdict Obtained in his favour. A motion for a new trial was made, which had net yet been decided, and Sir Thomas Stanley now applied by bill to this Court for the jspecific performance of the agreement, and also for an in unction restraining any proceeding under the action. His Hotioun considered that the circumstances of the case were such as not to entitle the plaintiff to call for the interference of a Court of Equity, and felt himself hound to dismiss the bill with costs. VI CE - CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT. -3IA Ii TIN V. NICHOLLS. This was a bill filed for the purpose of obtaining a dis covery, and also for a commission to examine witnesses in the island of Antigua, as to a suit in which a decree bad been pronounced against the present plaintiff in the Court abroad, and Upon which proceedings were taken in the Courts here. A demurrer was put in by the defendant to the bill, on the ground that the proceedings of foreign Courts were net examinable in Westminster Hall. His Honouit this morning gave judgment, and, after citing several old cases, in which it had been laid down that proceedings abroad were examinable here, and others where the contrary dectiine had been held, stated it as his opinion that the law, as laid down by the late learned Lord Ellenborough, in " Carlton v. Carlton," was the acknowledged law of the land, which was, that any thing done in a foreign Court was not examinable by the Courts in 'Westminster Hall, but could only be called over by the King in Council. His Honour, therefore, felt himself bound to allow the demurrer ; giving liberty, how ever, to the plaintiff, if he thought fit, to turn the bill of discovery into one of relief. TYLER V. DRAYTON . • The argument s on the part of the plaintiff in this part heard case were resumed this morning, and the evidence read at considerable length, which was proceeding when our reporter left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court this morning proceeded with cases in the Crown Paper. At one o'clock Lord Tenterden went to Guildhall, and sat at Nisi Prius. RYE ELECTION.--(THIS DAY.) The Committee met again this morning, at eleven o'clock. Lord Pa rattEasrote wished the Committee to be in formed what course it was now intended to pursue. Mr. H anersoar—W e have brought forward one voter, whose vote, we contend, ought to have been received in the elections of 1826 and 1830, and if the Committee are of that opinion, we intend to bring forward a num b er o f others similarly s it uate d. Mr. Serjeant Spiatxut said he should contend that if the petitioners did bring forward a sufficient numb er of votes similar to that of Chatterton's, to give a majority in favour of Colonel Evans, yet he must insist they could not be received. It was absolutely neces sary, that it should be shewn that they had been admitted freemen for a twelvemonth. Suppose a person possessing all the qualifications necessary to entitle him to demand be ing admitted a freeman, yet if he neglected to apply for:his admission, or from some cause or other it was refused, in such case, let his qualifications be what they might, his right to vote never could be admitted. The Learned Counsel was entering into an argument in support of his position, when he was stopped by Lord • Pausexasro; who said the Committee did not wish to hear arguments now, but only to be informed of the course it was intended by Counsel to pursue. Mr. HARRISON—It is our intention to show that a number of persons entitled to vote had been rejected at the last electron. Mr. WilatoT HORTON wished to ask a question which involved a point of law. It appeared the freemen of the Port of Rye were entitled to many other privileges be sides that of voting for Members of Parliament. The question he wished therefore to ask was, what effect a re solution of the Committee, relating to the right of voting, would have as it respected the other privileges to which freemen of the port of Rye were entitled? Air. HARRISON said the resolution of the Committee Would not interfere with, or have any effect on, any pri vilege except that relating to the elective franchise. Mr. Witmor Iforveme—P-.rhaps Mr. Harrison, the C ommittee may decide one way, and the Court of King's tench another, for if we decide the right of persons to be admitted freemen, when they once get admitted, tvottld they not become entitled to other rights--or would they not claim other rights and privileges, that on applica tion to the King's Bench might be refused ? Mr. HARRISON—It is only in the power of the Committee to decide the right of voting for Members to serve in Par liament. All other rights demanded by freemen were for the decision of the Court of King's Bench. The Com mittee could not interfere with any other privilege, neither could that Court in any way interfere with a resolution of a Committee of the House of Commons. Mr. Serjeant MEREIVICTHEa then argued on the right of many persons whom he intended bringing forward to vote at the last election, and whose votes, had they been received, would have given a majority in favour of Colonel Evans. The Learned Counsel read extracts from many ancient Charters, as well as resolutions of the Corporation of Rye, which r egu l a t e d t h e a d m i ssion of persona to the freedom of that port. He contended that the Charters clearly conferred that right by birth, by marriage with the daughter of a freeman, and also that all sons of freemen, if not residing in the place, were nevertheless entitled to de mand their freedom; and that it was not in the power of the Corporation to refuse it. Several resolutions of the Corporation had also given power to the Mayor to admit to the freedom of the port any stranger who had resided there for one year, upon payment of 20s. and a gallon of wine. He further contended that if it was proved their right of admission once existed, no regulation or practice of the Corporation at later periods could take it away, and if any such attempts had been made it was an usurpation on the part of that body which the Committee would never sanction. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE addressed the Committee at great length against the admissibility of Chatterton's vote. It person poss esse d a ll t h e qualifications that entitled him to he admitted as freeman, yet if he had not been ad- Mitted, his vote could not have been received at the last election. In 1826 the same persons, whose vote had been I ;"iected at the last election, were also then rejected, yet t hey did not petition Parliament, or apply to the Court of Icing's B enc h f or a mandamus. The fact was, there was power to compel the Corporation to admit every such person as described by the other side to the freedom of the Port. No such right to be admitted had been proved eithe r by charter or establish e d usage. An Act of Parlia men called the " D enham Act, " was passed, that enacted that t, in no city, bor„gh, or port should freemen be en titled to vote at the election of Members to serve in Par• lisment, except he had been admitted a freeman twelve months. He therefore contended, that the votes of fered for Colonel Evans could not be received. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to call evidence to show that no steps Lad ever been taken to compel the Corpora tion to admit freemen, when Mr. Ha anrsoie objected t o t h e course, and was ad -3e g' the'Committee in suppo r t of his objection when Reporter left.

Last evening, in consequence of the fresh in the river, the Melton Hall, of Lynn, was driven away and washed on the Potatoe Garth. The Farmer, of this port, was driven behind the South Pier, and went to pieces. The John and the Eleanor, both of this port (coal laden), sunk, but are expected to be got up; the former lost her foremast and bowsprit, the latter her bowsprit. and both sustained much damage in their hulls. The Blackbird, of this port, lost both masts and bowsprits, and both considerably damaged in their hulls.

The information published this morning from Colombia we anticipated on Saturday last in our City article, by a Proclamation from General Arismendi, dated Caraccas, February 25, informing the Venezulians that Bolivar was approaching with his legions. We also published, on the arrival of the Jamaica mail some days past, that Bolivar had seut three Commissioners to meet those of Paez. LIVERPOOL, MAY 10 .-British Plantation Sugar con tinues in good demand ; the sales for the week amounting to 900 hhds. at former prices. Nothing has been done in Bengal Sugar. The Cotton Market in the early part of the week continued dull, but the demand has since revived, and the prices of Bowed, Orleans, and Mobile - have improved fully id. per lb. The demand for - Pine timber continues good, especially for prime qualities ; and, if the present demand continues, it is probable that the stock will be nearly run off before the summer import. Since our last four cargoes from St. John's have arrived. The consumption of Baltic timber has improved some little within these last few weeks. THE FUNDS. Owing:to the N.E. ;ind;;; " are still deprived of ar rivals. Not a single ship letter has come to hand this morning. Consols, which left off yesterday at 92ji for the Ac count, opened at the same price this morning, and have since been done at 92k, and for Money 92k.

The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND returned to their residence at Kew on Monday evening. The Duke of NEWCASTLE is still confined at Clumber by indisposition. His complaint is an affection of the spine.—Stamford News. There is a facetious old fellow named GREEN, of this town, who hawks fish about the streets, and whose marriage history is curious. Between himself and his five wives the marriage ceremony has, according to his own calculation, been performed twenty-eight times!— Boston Gazette. A gentleman from Elgin, when travelling a few weeks since in the west of Scotland, finding, on his entering the town of D.---., that gigs, carriages, and all the other usual vehicles of conveyance were then en gaged, and being at the same time under the necessity of proceeding with a quantity of luggage to the next town with as little delay as possible, engaged, as a last resource, a hearse for the parpose ! THE KING'S HEALTH. (From the Court Cirrukir.) His MAJESTY sent an invitation to his sistors, the Prin cess AUGUSTA and the Duchess Id GLOUCESTEit ; their Royal Highnesses in consequence came to the Palace, at Windsor, about half-past elrven o'clock yesterday, n om London: their Royal Highnesses remained with his MA JESTY a considerable time. The KING'S equipage, whi c h had brought their Royal Highnesses from Hounslow, was in waiting at two o'clock ; the Duchess and the Princess, after partaking of some refreshment, entered their carriage at half-past two o'clock, and proceeded to the residence of the Princess, at Frogmore. The following Bulletin of his MAJESTY's health was issued yesterday morning : " Windsor Castle, May I 1 . " His MAJESTY'S symptoms are not materially mit gated, hut his MAJESTY had some sleep last night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY, Accounts of the state of the KING'S health were for warded yesterday to the Duke of CLARENCE, at Bushy Park, and also to Sir ROBERT PEEL, at Drayton Park, Staffordshire. The Medical Gentlemen were, as usual, in constant at tendance at the Palace during the day. At his Majesty's Palace in St. James's, the Bulletin was shown by Lord GLENLYON as Lord in Waiting, and by Mr. TOWNSHEND as Groom in Waiting. The in quiries were as numerous as on any preceding day. In addition to those of the Nobility and Gentry, who, on previous dlys, had been to learn the state of the KING, there were the Archbishop of YORK, the SPEAKER of the HOUSE of COMMONS.

(From the Morning Post.) We dLeply regret that we are unalde to announce any improvement in the lamentable state of our truly good and excellent MONARCH. Though his MAJESTY had some sleep on Monday night, there was no material miti cTation of his suffering throughout the whole of yesterday ; and with anguish of heart we have to add, that our latest private advices are of a nature the most painfully discouraging. (From the Morning Journal.) The Bulletin of last night is unfavourable in many re spects. In the first place its guarded expressions show that no mitigation whatever has taken place in his MA JESTY'S disorder since the first day it was announced• Twenty-six days have elapsed, and his MAJESTY' has expe rienced no relief whatever. The continuance of the symp toms, accompanied with restless and sleepless nights, is a proof that his MAJESTY'S condition is daily becoming more critical. It will be seen by the Court Circular that some members of the royal family were sent for, and received by his MAJESTY. Numerous messengers were seen passing frequently to and from the different Cabinet Ministers in the course of the day, and a courier was sent express to Sir ROBERT PEEL, to hasten the Right Hon. Secretary's re turn to town. The visit of the LORD CHANCELLOR has caused a considerable sensation, for be could have, it is al leged, but one object, the performance of a duty always a painful, and sometimes the last one, in so far as one of the parties is concerned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. ➢SONDAY NIGHT. The sport altogether was very unsatisfactory, and was made still less attractive by the tempestuous state of the weather; some idea may be formed of the change, when we state that the thermometer was at 85 in the shade last Saturday, and to-day at 55. On the course were the Dukes of Rutland, Portland, Grafton, and Richmond, Marquis of Exeter, Lords Uxbridge, Jersey, G. H. Cavendish, G. Ben tinck, and Sefton, Sir Mark Wood, Col. Udney, Captains Grant and Macnamara, Sir David Baird, Messrs. Payne, Thornhill, Batson, C. Wilson, Irby, Waddington, &c. Many of the regular visitors are detained in town by the Parliamentary business appointed for Tuesday, but it is expected that there will be a very considerable accession of visitors by Thursday, when the great stakes of 500 soya. each will be run for; it is expected that Lord Mountcharles's Gayhurst, Lerd Grovesnor's Ebury, Mr. Ridsdale's Tyke ' and Mr. R. Walker's Roundwaist will start f or it, t h us making the stakes worth upwards of 3,0001., and one of the richest known for many years. Great interest is also excited by the Jockey Club Plate of that day, the distance, T.M.M., being supposed to assist in showing the winner of the Derby, should a three-yr-old come in first; indeed, the whole sport and interest of the meeting seems to centre in Thursday, for which day there are already seven races in the list. The dinner at the rooms this evening was thinly attended. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. Ma tch, 50. T. Y. C. , - Mr. S.

This match, it was well known to the admirers of the pugilistic art, was fixed to have been decided yesterday within one hundred miles of Birmingham, and a sanguine hope was entertained that it would have gone forward in a straightforward, good old-fashioned way, and have wiped out the recollection of those contemptible shifts and subter fuges which have for many months cast a cloud over the character and amusements of the Ring ; but, alas ! vain was this hope—and this, like the long argued, and still undecided, affair between Neal and Young Dutch Sam, has ended in a bubble—a bubble, it is fit to state in the outset, arising out of the trickery or disinclination of Sampson or his backers. To those who may feel a❑ in terest in such subjects, it may be necessary to mention that this was the second match between these men— the first having been decided in favour of Sampson, after a desperate battle, in which Brown had his collar broken in the fourth round. After repeated at tempts at renewals, from a desire on Brown's part to re eaiu his lost laurel, the new match Was made at Binning ham on the 2-;:d of February last, for 2001. aside ; and Mr. Beardswotali, a respectable inhabitant of that town, was appointed stakeholder. The articles were drawn up evi dently by an inexperienced person and with great looseness; hut as it was believed each man meant an honourable fight, with the view of putting their respective merits to a fail issue, feW who did not know the parties, were disposed to anticipate that at the proper season anything like a quibble or petty advantage would he taken on either side. Those who calculated in this way, however, " reckoned without their host," for to a quibble—and to a quibble only—has the matter been brought. Brown, on the match being made, went into close train ing, at the New Inn, Shipley; and Sampson, to all ap pearanee, followed his example, by betaking himself to an inn at Perrybar, near Birmingham, when all looked well for business. The deposits were all duly made, and at last came the impartant question—not " where shall we dine ?" but " where shall we fight?" But this ought to be preceded by a knowledge of the fact, that in the sport ing circles the event excited very little interest; and in London especially it was scarcely deemed worthy of notice, few bets having been made, and those of a very trifling description. In the country, we understand, the speculations were rather more extensive, Sampson being generally a favourite at five to four. By the articles it was provided " that on Saturday, May 8, the p'ace of fighting was to he named and agreed upon, at the Pea cock, at Wolverhampton, at two o'clock in the after noon, by a friend of each party," and upon this provision arose the " mull" to which the " no go" in the match is to be attributed. It will he seen by this stipulation that a positive duty is assigned to two mutual friends" to rime and agree upon a place ;" but if they cannot agree, there is no stipulation as to what is to be done to get over the difficulty—so that, in fact, they might debate for " a blue moon," and come to no agreement at all; and this, in fact, turns out to have been the cast. Had the articles specified, " that in the event of not agreeing a toss should decide the difference," all would have been right; but this being omitted, it was at the option of either party to be as obstinate as he chose, and fight or not fight as might be agreeable to his interest or inclination. Appended to the articles was the further agreement : " Should any money be obtained for the advantage of the fight in a particular place, that money to be equally divided between the men ;" but this was, of course, subservient to the mutual agree ment, as to where that place was to be. On Saturday, soon after two o'clock, a Mr. Sankey, on the part of Sampson, met a Mr. Marshall (Clerk of the Course), on the part of Brown,'at the Peacock, Wolverhampton. Mr. Beards worth, the stakeholder, was not present, hut deputed a gentleman to be present on his behalf. The business was immediately opened by Mr. Marshall; who stated that Brown had been offered 501. to go to Ludlow, and asked if Sampson had any place to mention, where the ad vantage would be equal ? Mr. Sankey answered in the negative ; but said that Sampson would not consent to go to Ludlow for less than 50/. This was deemed unreason able, and Mr. Marshall said, if Sampson would give Brown 20/., he would go to whatever place he might name. No proposition of this sort, however, was ten dered ; upon which Mr, Marshall said Sampson should have 301. of the 50/. to be received at Ludlow, leaving Brown but 201. for his share. Still Sampson's party were inexorable-351. out of the 50/. was next men tioned; and at last Mr. Sankey, although he said he felt he was acting in violation of his instructions, offered to take 401. To this demand Mr. Marshall felt, in fairness to his principal, he could not ace: de ; and thus the negotia tion broke off, no place being agreed upon, although Ludlow was named. An offer was made to toss for choice of place, whether by Mr. Sankey or any other person present does not appear ; but that course not being provided for in the articles, nothing was done. From thenceforth all was doubt and uncertainty. The Fancy of Birmingham and Wolverhampton were at a stand-still, and rumours were pretty generally _circulated that there would be no fight. Brown, Baldwin, and his friends, had proceeded to Ludlow—but Sampson remained at Birming ham the whole of Monday, declaring in several sporting houses that he would not go to Ludlow unless he first re ceived 501., alluding broadly to the imperfection of the articles of which he could take advantage, and saying, that unless he received the 501., as the articles stated, " that the stakes were not to be given up till fairly won or lost by fight"—they should remain in the hands of the stakeholder for two years, by which time the recogni zances in which he had been held at the Retford Ses sions for his connection with the fight between Hill and Mapping, in Nottinghamshire, would have expired. To this resolution he adhered throughout the day, and as, at a late hour, no new proposition arrived from Brown, he mounted his horse and returned to Perrybar, whither he invited his friends to dinner the next day. All idea of the fight coming off was now given up. Young Dutch Sam, Dick Curtis, Stockman, and other friends of Sampson, betook themselves to the joys of the table, instead of those of the ring, and yesterday all remained stationary at Birmingham, Brown and his party, no doubt, anxiously waiting Sampson's arrival at Ludlow, where Tom Oliver and Fogo, with the ropes and stakes, had also gone, and where the ring was, in all probability, formed with the usual ceretnonies. We have heard that Brown threw in his hat and claimed the stakes; but whether, under all the circumstances, he will receive them must depend upon the stakeholder. It is clear that on Brown's part there was no objection to fight—that he named a place, and most liberally offered to give two-thirds of the money he was to receive to Sampson to meet him. It is also clear that Sampson did not name any place, and wilfully avoided meeting his antagonist to give him that fair and manly chance for which the match had been made—and this without any reasonable cause assigned. In an equi table point of view, this would entitle Brown to forfeit, but these are times when milling is conducted according to the niceties of special pleading, and it may therefore be expected that the Fancy are again to be indulged in a display of logic chopping instead of noddle chopping. One thing is clear, however, and that is, that this addi tional dose of disappointment has increased the disease with which the friends of pugilism have been afflicted, and to all appearance must quickly hasten that dissolution, which by many is so " devoutly wished." Whether Sampson means, or can give any explanation of his con duct, remains to be seen ; but it is pretty clear that there are ' 6 wheels within wheels," the evolutions of which. may never meet the eyes of the curious. CAILLIE'S TRAVELS TO TTMBUCTOO. This work has acquired that popular ity to which it is eminently entitled. Of the veracity of CAXLLIE there can he no doubt : on this point the Spectator observes, " Some rash doubts have been hazarded respecting the authenticity of these travels ; but we have not been able, from a careful perusal of the external and internal evi- I dences of their truth, to discover on what logical or moral grounds the doubts are rested. Besides numerous coin cidences, of a kind which CAILLIE could not invent, his departure from Kakonday and his arrival at Fez have been ascertained by the direct testimony of respectable wit nesses; and, setting aside the absence of all possible mo tive to deceive, no man, we venture to affirm, could have manufactured so long and minute and consistent a narra tive as that contained in the two volumes before us. We may add, that the proofs which, upon careful investiga tion, appeared irrefragable to such men as JOMARD, AMEDEE JAUBERT, and Baron ROGER, ought not hastily to be impugned. We are no enemies to rational scepticism, hat incredulity and wisdom are not so nearly allied as some critics imagime ; the n'en croyez rien school contains as many fools as philosophers."

ACCIDENT TO MADAM E BUONAPARTE.— Extract of a private letter of the 24th ult. from Rome :-- " Madame LITITIA, mother of NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE, on the 22d inst., while walking in the garden of the Villa Borghese, made a false step, and though leaning on the arm o f the Chevalier COZORRA, fell with so much vio lence that she broke one of her thighs; and as her great age, 83 years, prevents the possibility of applying the strong remedies necessary in such accidents, her life is consi dered to be in imminent danger. She is surrounded by all the members of her family now at Home— her brother, Cardinal Ftscis, JIROME, and Louts BuoNArAxix, and Madame LUCIZN, Princess of Canino. Despatches, with the melancholy news, have been sent off to Madame Muaa.r, Countess of Lipano, the Ex-Queen IIoaTENHA, and the Duke de ItvicHs.r.anT. Madame LETITIA, after giving legacies of 500,000 francs each to her children and to Cardinal FESCH, with numerous pen sions and tokens of remembranc e to her attendants and friends, and considerable donations to the poor both at Rome and in Corsica, has constituted the Duke de liaxcusTADT the residuary leg at , ; ;e of her immense weaith." ' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSF. A young woman, named Mary Cale, was charged with having robbed her grandmother, Anne Foster, of 17 sovereigns. The old woman is upwards of 80 years of age. Her daughter, the mother -of Mary Cale, was charged with having received the sove reigns, knowing them to have been stolen. The prosecutrix, who is an Irishwoman, stated that her husband, who was in his 75th year, had been for itnany years, and was still, carman to the house of Alderman Thompson. They had between them laid up 17 sovereigns, which they kept in a chest, for the purpose of " burying themselves de cently," when it should please God to call them.— Mary Cale, their grand-daughter, had been brought up at their expense until she was 12 years old. On Friday week she came to their lodging, and asked leave to sleep there, as'her father " had promised to kill her" if she went home. As she was the old woman's own flesh and blood partly, Mrs. Foster had her to sleep with herself, and at about ten o'clock next morning, left her to take care of the room, while she (the old woman) went to market. On her return home Mrs. Foster found that her grand-daughter was gone, and that the chest in which the money had been kept was wrenched open with the poker, and plundered of all the cash. The old woman bitterly lamented the robbery, particularly as she and her poor husband, who she said was an honest man and deserved a better fate, must now be buried by the parish, and as they had always keen most kind to the thief and her mother. Here Mary Cale laughed, and was reproved by the Lord Mayor. Mrs. Foster—Ah I you jade you, if I hadn't been kind to you, I would n't think of it ; but you are ungrateful, and you shall pay for it. The LORD MAYOR said the case was a very bad one. Catherine Cale.—But what has my mother to say against me ? 1 never done any thing against the ould woman. Mrs. Foster.—Plenty against you, Katty. I met you in the street, and you tould me that Mary robbed me of seventeen sovereigns, and that you had ten of them keeping for me in Rosemary-lane, if I'd forgive her and not go against her. My Lord, I wouldn't tell a lie, for my husband wouldn't be kept at Alderman Thompson's if he were a thief and a liar: besides, neither of us has long to live in this world, although we won't be able to bury ourselves arty more.—(Laughter.) Catherine Cale.—God help you, I was drunk at the time, or I never would have said any such non sense. Mary never robbed you of a farthing, mother. Mrs. Foster.—Arrah then, Katty, be easy. Sure you know she robbed me. Sure didn't you wake me and Paddy afore we were dead ?—(Laughter.) —,They did, sure enough, your Lordship. Katty's husband wouldn't work a morsel ever since I was robbed, and they've been drinking and dancing my money away amongst 'em, and my husband and 1 must be laid out, and have our last quilt put over us by the parish. It's we that did'n't expect to be put under ground in that way. (The old woman , w h ose skin seem e d t o h ang i n tatters about her face, ap peared to be deeply afflicted at the idea of pauper sepulture, and rubbed her dry bony hand across her eyes, in which, however, there appeared to be not the least moisture). The LORD MAYOR told Catherine Cale, that the transaction looked very black against her. Catherine Cale—Upon my sowl, your Lordship, I know no more about the sovereigns than you do. You see, my Lord, when I takes a drop, I'm apt to make a bit of a mistake. Now, here's the whole of the matter„ My brother was taken up for this same thing the very day that he was going to sell his shoes to go into the country; and I was going to buy a sparerib of pork arid some praties, so we had a little gin together, and it floored me in no time, and so I suppose I said something about sovereigns, for I'm always gabbling about money when I've got a sup too much, whether its gin or beer, or even whisky.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR considered this defence of that kind which Irish ladies were in the habit of using when they wanted to bother a jury. The officer who apprehended the grand-daughter of Mrs. Foster found her in her uncle's house drink ing, in the midst of a dozen people. There was a large can of porter on the table, and a blind fiddler was hard at work scraping at his instrument in a corner of the room. Mary Cale, on being asked what she had to say in her defence, declared that her grandmother had falsely accused her of the robbery. The LORD MAYOR then asked Mrs. Foster whe. tiler her husband would be willing to prosecute Mrs. Foster—God bless you, he'll follow up a thie, any time. Depend upon it we'll prosecute. Mary Cale was then fully committed for the ea• pital offence. Her mother was discharged. GUILDHALL. Charles Lewis, a middle-aged man, who had for some years been employed as a clerk by Messrs. Bradbury and Greatorex, of Aldermanbury, ware housemen, was brought before Mr. Alderman GAR RATT yesterday, charged with embezzling various sums of money. The solicitor for the prosecution briefly stated the nature of the case, and called Mr. Stevens, a linen draper, in Newington-causeway, who proved that he paid the prisoner, as the collecting clerk for the pro secutors, 1001. on the 26th of March. Mr. Griffin, a linen-draper at Walworth, also proved the payment of 1121. 12s. to the prisoner, on the same day, being the general collecting-day in the trade. Mr. Bradbury deposed, that the prisoner had not at all accounted for the money received from Mr. Stevens, and had paid over 101. short of that re ceived from Mr. Griffin. Mr. Harmer, for the prisoner, said a complete case for trial had been made out, without referring to the prisoner's admission. The fact was, that the prisoner had, upon being discharged at a short no tice, furnished a list of sums which he had received, promising to pay them, or any others that might be found, at an early period. The solicitor said he had a month's warning. " Well," said Mr. Harmer, " that is but a short ime." The solicitor observed, that the prisoner had ab sented himself ten days after receiving the notice. Mr. Harmer believed he had assigned a reason. The solicitor said, " Yes, he pleaded illness." " And do not you know," said Mr. Harmer, " that he had a sudden death in his family, which would account for that illness ? Did not one of his children die in an instant ? It is a distressing case. He has five children still living, and his wife is pregnant. The poor man was found provided with the means of destroying himself." A person standing among the spectators here burst into tears, and said, he had offered the prose cutors 3001. on account, towards the deficiencies. The solicitor replied, the sums embezzled amount ed to almost twice as much. Mr. Harmer said, now the facts had been laid before the Magistrate, there was no alternative bat a committal. He could make no answer to the charge. The prisoner, who seemed greatly distressed, was committed accordingly. James crouch and Mary Welch, a child 10 years old, were finally examined, charged—the former with vending, and the latter with having in her possession, for the purpose of vending, a quantity of base coin. The prisoners were committed for trial. BOW-STREET. Yesterday an elderly man, who gave the name lien janzin Ridgeway, was brought before Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. MINSIIULL, charged with having, it appeared, called on Mr. Blamire by means of flaudulent pretensions, obtained a so vereign from Mr. Blamire, a solicitor, residing in that morning, for the purpose , as he pretended, of cornmunicat►ng to him something the ' to advantage of his friend and relati • M ‘e r. Salkilt, of Herne-hill, s r t i nt r, Nor Thef Norfolk-street. l kp- near Carlisle. Mr. Salkilt is a solicitor, and a shore time bark received a letter from a person named Eddie, dated from No. 16, Houndsditch, stating that he possessed some information of great value to Mr. Salkilt, but which he would not disclose without first receiving. twenty shillings. Thinking that so:nething really might arise out of the affair, Mr. Salkilt directed Mr. Blamire to pay the money required and receive the communication ; upon which the latter intimated to Eddie the instructions which he had received, and the result was a visit from the prisoner as above-mentioned. Mr. Blamire stated hi s readiness to pay the sum demanded, pro v.ded the information should turn out worth it, but the prisoner declined to part from the documents with which his employer had entrusted him without first re ceiving the stipulated fee. Mr. Blamire then handed him a sovereign, and the prisoner delivered in return a letter containing references to persons of the name of Salkilt who had died, leaving money in the funds which remained unclaimed. Mr. Blamire at once discovered the cheat, knowing that no connection whatever existed between his relation and the parties referred to, and accordingly requested thit the sovereign might be returned. The prisoner, however, did not understand any thing about the system of refunding, and, instead of the sovereign, handed to Mr. Blamire a receipt signed " Joseph Eddie," whom he described as his master. Deeming the transaction to be a gross fraud, an officer was sent for and the prisoner given into his charge, when two other sovereigns were found upon him. Sir R. BIRNIE directed that the prisoner should be locked up, and that his employer should be sent for.—Accordingly about three o'clock, a bald headed, demure looking man, in the garb of a quaker, whose tout ensemble was of the Cantwell • school, entered the office and announced himself as Joseph Eddie, the master of the prisoner Ridgeway, whose detention he seemed to regard as a violation of the liberty of the subject. Sir R. BIRNIE—Oh I then you are the person who have volunteered to give such valuable informa s t iN a l t r e . d Salkilt m a e n Sad o o b t e h e j r o s s ? e — p hEEd Eddie, a l n have - a t i l ena to quire to know why my servant is kept in custody. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE—Even I have to acknow ledge the receipt of some of your valuable commu ncations. Eddie—Perhaps so, Sir, but my present business here is to learn the nature of the charge against my servant. The prisoner Ridgeway was then brought in and placed beside his master. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE stated that both parties were charged with having swindled Mr. Blamire out cf a sovereign. Eddie—l have maintained my character in the neighbourhood of Houndsditch for the last twenty five years, and think you, if I were a person capable of the conduct you attribute to me, would that have been the case. But if there be any charge it must be made before the Lord Mayor, as I live in the city. Sir RICIIARD BIRNIE—There, my sleek friend, you are mistaken. The offence was committed in Norfolk-street, which is in Middlesex. The constable here, by order of the Magistrates, produced the money he had taken from the prisoner Ridgeway. One of the sovereigns was banded to Mr. Blamire, and the constable was directed to re tain the other until the possession of it should have been accounted for. Eddie, without any hesitation, desired his servant :o state the manner in which he had obtained it. Ridgeway received it from a gentleman residing at No. 9, Suffolk-street, Pall-mall, whose name he had forgotten. A messenger was despatched for this gentleman, and during his absence, the Magistrates consulted together as to whether they could interfere in the matter. Sir R. BIRNIE said, that he had received upwards of fifty letters from persons who had been swindled out of their money by this individual, who, he was satisfied, had been carrying on a gross system of fraud ? Eddie—You can't say that you ever were wronged by me in your life. Sir R. BIRNIE—No, certainly not; but was that your fault ? Did you not honour me with a letter ? Eddie—Well, if I did, I take it for granted that I knew of something to your advantage. Sir R. BIRNIE—Not you indeed; and what's more I can candidly tell you that I never had a re lation as rich as I am myself; therefore it would be quite useless to trouble me with such information. Eddie—Very well, Sir, you may depend that I shall scratch your name from my books so soon as you al low me to return home.—(A laugh.) The officer at this moment returned from Suffolk street, and whispered to the Magistrates the result of his enquiry. • . . Sir R. EntritE—What ! M'Doherty the Irish So icitor-General ? Officer—Yes, Sir, that is the gen leman. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE observed that Eddie e'as a bold fellow, when even the law-officers of the Crown could not escape him. Eddie.—The circumstance is all in my favour; for, think you, if I were as you suppose, a swin dler, would I have had such temerity as to have run into the lion's den ? Sir RICHARD BIRNIE said that as the party at tempted to be defrauded lived at such a distance, it would be hopeless to expect a prosecution. Mr. HALLS observed, that parties who speculated in these transactions made themselves participators in the fraud, but added, that if Eddie should ever come before him again, he would strain a point to send him before a Jury. After some further con versation, Eddie and his man were set at liberty, apparently much to their satisfaction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BlGAMY.—Yesterday, William Saunders, who has undergone two examinations, was brought up before Mr. CONANT for a final hearing on a charge of bigamy. —The prisoner was fully committed. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Being a Member of the Royal College of Sur geons, I feel, in justice to that body, that the individual who has given occasion to your very just observations re specting lunatic certificates, is, in fact, no surgeon at all, nor has he ever attended a medical or surgical class in his life ; but is legally empowered to practise as an apothecary, according to the Act of 1815, having dispensed medicines prior to that beautiful piece of legislation. The Herald surely cannot be serious in saying, that " every street has its Quack, and that that Quack has a diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons." The possession of a diploma from the present College of Surgeons, I presume is suffi cient guard against quackery. Your notice, Mr. Editor, of this in any manner you may think best, will very much oblige, A CONSTANT READER AND SUPPORTER IN AN HUMBLE WAY OF THE SUN. Tuesday Evening. P.S.

WALTEit COLYTON.--The author of "Brantbletr;House" has, in this new fiction, chosen his torical grokald more closely approaching that of our own period than he had previously taken, sad presenting ob jects and persons of snore immediate interest to the feelings of his readers. He places before our eyes the "moving' accidents" of the Revolution of 168 S, and introduces us, as it were personally, to the infatuated Monarch JAMES, and his deposing rival. He gives us portraits, full of breathing resemblance, of the Earl of SUNDERLAND and his Countess; of Sir CHARLES SEDLEY, the reckless wit, and his noted daughter, and of most other celebrated indi viduals of this period ; and lastly, with these mat3t ials he has interwoven a story of alternate humour and pathos that affords a fine relief of domestic interest to the historic* subjects of his work.
