I n th e l ong p er i o d to winch these accounts refer, many of the circum stances affecting the price of coal must have under gone material change. That the price in the London market has, since the year 1800 increased somewhat less in proportion than the sale-price at the port of shipment, is partly owing to the reduction of 3s. 4d. per chaldron, which took place in the amount of the coal duty in the Port of London in the year 1824.

The Grand Jury returned true bills against James .21 , PDanald, Daniel Marlin, and Francisco Jose, a Spaniard. The three pritioners were then placed at the bar, and indicted for having piratically removed and shipped 369 persons as slaves. By a late act of Parliament, this has been made a capital offence. The indictment was explained to the prisoner Jose through the medium of an interpreter. They all pleaded " Not Guilty." Dr. iENNER, the King's Advocate, Mr. AHOY, PHUS, and Mr. WIGIMIAN, conducted the case fur the prosecution. William - Shearman said, in June, 1829, he was captain of the Monkey schooner. At that time he was cruising off the Bahama Bank. The force of his vessel was one gua and twenty-six men. On the 27th of that month he sew ti brig lying offH the bank. She had no caloure displayed, Wit- 1 nese immediately made towards her, and she . sot under weigh and stood off and on the bank. Wit. nets kept watch over her. About one o'clock in the middle of the day, she opened a broadside upon the Monkey, which did not, however, do utiy damage; and the action commenced and lasted more then half an hour. At the end of that time she struck her colours, but still continued firing musketry, and witness kept firing, when somelloily from the brig said, " We hare struck i for Qodts sake do not tire agein." Witness then sent his mate on board, who took posses:ion ciao vessel. Wit ne ss also went on board, and found the crew consisted of 53 men, one of whom had been killed in the action. The force of the brig was four 12-pounders and four 18. She had also small arms for fifty-six men. Witness then went-with the prize to the Havannah, and on the way thither eighty.three of the slates died. The prisoners were on ,hoard the vessel, and they' admittedl that they could speak Englik,:li as iitnees if hp chose to do so. The sjeves out 1)004 were in e.inest dreadful state, thirtywone of them jumped over board and were drowned in one day. Other evidence was adduced, after which the Jury, after deliberating some time, expressed a wish to retire, and they wort after returned into Court, finding a verdict of guilty against all the three pti sorters, but at the same time strongly recommended them to mercy, Symptoms of disorganization begin to appear amongst the aoi disaut hotietiles of Atitton-under-Lynii and some of the hitherto rigid brethren are ridding them of their *Aatolia beards,..-frlanehester Courier. Yesterday a foreigner, of fashionable appearance, was brought before Mr. Roe, the sitting Magistrate, on the following charge:— Mr. Preston, the proprietor of the Regency. Hotel and Coffee-house, in the Regent's Quadrant, stated that about a fortnight ago the prisoner came to his hotel, anti put up there as having just arrived from France, by way of Brighton, and presented his cArd, on which was elegantly engraved "Baron de Mylle Dabausan," and represented himself to be the per son who had just been .appointed by the new French Government as Ambassador from the Court of France to the United States of America, and that he was now on his way to the United States, and was passing through London for the purpose of having an interview with the Prince de Talleyrund, the French Ambassador, here, on diplomatic business, before his final departure. From his arrival until the present moment, he continued at the hotel living in, the first style, :baring the most expensive dinners anal wines served to him that could be procured, and frequently had large parties, both foreigners and English, to dine with him, — indeed he bud that very day (yesterday) ordered a splendid dinner for six persons to.be prepared. The prisoner generally, Mr. Preston said, went out ut a particular hour every day, and on those occasions he always represented that he was going to have his official interview with die Prince de Tulleyrand. Not doubting for a moment, Mr. Preston said, that the prisoner was really the character he represented himself to be, there was no hesitation whatever about letting his hotel account run up to a considerable amount, which it had now attained ; nor, from the ease and elegance of his manner, and the air of confident in difference with which he deported himself, did he (Mr. Preston) for an instant dream of refusing him the loan of upwards of 10/. in money, which he asked for at different times in various sums. "At last," said Mr. Preston, " I began to think that it was rather strange that a nobleman just starting on a foreign embassy should be so completely without money as the prisoner appeared to be, and I began to suspect that possibly he might not be the person he represented himself, and that his alleged daily ex pectations of receiving large remittances from France might, by chance, turn out to be moonshine; and, acting on this suggestion, I went this morning to the French Ambassador's residence, where, I made inquiry, and found that all my worst suspicions were but too well grounded, for that Prince Tulleyrand knew nothing whatever of such a person as the, pri soner, nor had he had any interview with him ; and, in fact, that although Baron Dabausan %vas un doubtedly the ambassador from the Court of France to the United States of America, the prisoner was not that " Baron." On this discovery, Mr. Pres ton said he saw ut once that he had been the dupe of an itnpoator, and returning to the hotel imme diately, lie called in a police officer, and gave the 13 • risoner into his custody, and had him conveyed se cretly to this office. He (Mr. Preston) has since ascertained, that he alone was not the only sufferer in his house, for that the prisoner had so much in gratiated himself into the good opinion of every gentleman that was stopping at the, hotel at the same time, that he not only joined them every day at their request in their supper patties, &e., but borrowed money of them all; and indeed so engag ing were his manners and conversation, that these gentleman, foreign as well as English;deciare that they would not have refused him any demand he might have made on their purses, which, no doubt, in a little time would have been much more consi derable than it was had not the discovery taken place. The prisoner, who speaks the English language very well, was extremely desirous to hold his con versation with the Magistrate in French. but Mr. Roe said that he only conversed in French with those who could not speak die language of this country. The . prisoner then admitted that be was not the Baron D.ibausan, Ambassador to the United States, as he had represented himself, but his teal name, he said, was Edmund de Mylle; be was, he said, a native of Nancy, in France, and had been about a month in this country. He certainly had not, he said, as be bad represented, visited the Prince de Talleyrand as yet, but he was very well known to the Prince, notwithstanding. The whole of his statement, he admitted, as to his holding any o ffi c i a l appointment from the French Government was groundless, but he was in daily expectation of a re mittance of motley from France, out of which he would dis Charge Mr. Preston's demand. Indeed, he said, Mr. Preston bud a quantity of luggage and wearing apparel of great value, at his hotel, belonging to him, the prisoner, which was more than ample security for the amount of his debt. Mr. Preston said that there was some luggage, but the only tiling valuable, lie believed, in it was a quantity of new clothes which the prisoner had ob tained since he bud come to the hotel, of Mr. Gortz, under the same false re a tailor in the Qaailrants presentations. Mr. Gortz made a very long story of his having, on the false representation of the defendant, made him a suit of clothes. Nlr. Preston said that instead of beings Baron or nu Ambassador, he hnd reason to believe that the prisoner had been a teacher of the French language at a school in this country, and he asked the pri soner if he bad ever been at Exeter?—The pri• sorter replied that he never had in his life, nor did lie know where Exeter was. _ Mr. Pi% won said that he had not the slightest doubt but the prisoner was the person who bud been practising frauds of all sorts extensively through the county of Kent, and various other parts of the country, passing himself off as one of the suite of the ex-King of France ! the Duchess of Kent, &c., and biting mansions in their names; and he was pretty certain, if the prisoner was remanded, plenty of persons would come forwartj on a future Clay to recognise him, Idol; then explained to the prisoner the na ture of the charge against him for obtaining► property under false pretences, and ordered him to be re manded until Thursd4y next, then to to 4 T ought up for rc-axrpninatiwl, The prisoner is genteel-looking young man, about 0, years of mg - e, and . about five feet eight inches in height, rather slight in person, remathably slink pomplcy t ioli i 41r, anti whisii-ers, and wears a; pair of silver spectacles.

REPORT OF TILE SELECT COMMITTEE ON TILE STATE . OF THE (LONDON) COAL TRADE. The Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the important and interesting sub• ject of the London Coal Trade has at length been printed.. Considering , the extent and consequence of the question, the Report is far from lengthy, but still our limits compel us to confine ourselves to its substance or most material passages and statements. The Committee first examined theleveral Acts and Regulations affecting the vale and delivery of coals in the cities of London and Westminster, and the adjoining counties; and they next. proceeded to inquire into the price of coal, and the charges there on, in the port of London and at the ports of ship. ment; and further, us to any regteations or restric tions on the supply of co a l for th e p ort o f London. The trade is carried on in the following manner:— All coal brought bit° the port, of London is re .quireerto b&sold on the Coal . .Eieliunge. When a vessel arrives her papers are transmitted - to the factors in the Coal Market. The entry being made at the Custom-house, the certificate is endorsed and filed by the Receiver of the Lord Mayor's Dues, and a copy of it sent to the Clerk of the Coal Market, by whom it is publicly exposed. The factor then proceeds to the sale, which can take place only between the hours of twelve and two on Monthly's, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The contracts are required to be entered in the factor's book; a copy is then given to the Clerk of the Market, after which the fitter's certificate, together with a warrant and a certificate of the King's and tile City dues being paid, ure tlelivered to the Clerk of the Sl.ip Meters' Office, together with u turn paper, specify leg the order of succession in which the different purchasers shall have their respective shares of the cargo delivered to them. A ship meter is then up pointed to superititend the discharge of the cargo. Of these ship meters there are fifteen principal and one hundred mid fifty-eight deputy or working ones, and they are all appointed by the city of London. The principal meters superintend the deputy or working meters, whose duty it is to ascertain and certify the quantity of coal measured out of the ship; and each deputy meter appoints an assistant, who works with him in the delivery of the cargo. The labourers, called whippers, are also appointed under the city of London. According to the quan tities ascertained by the ship meter, not only the public dues and duties are paid, but also the freight and the price agreed for by the persons who have purchased the cargo. It is the duty of the ship meter to transmit an account of the quantity of coal measured from the ship to the Ship Meters' Office, to the Clerk of the Coal Market, and to the °nice of the Principal Land Meter. When the coal reaches the merchant's wharf the superintendence devolves on the land tneterv, of whom there are four divisions—one in the city or London, one in West minster, one in parts of Middlesex, and a fourth in the county of Surrey. However, parts of the me tropolis within the county of Kent, and the principal part of the Regent's Canal, are free from any such control. The land meters are entitled to sixpence per chaldron for all coal sold by wharf measure, and one shilling for every five chuldrons of coal sold by pool measure. It is the duty of these persons to superintend the actual measurement of all coal re movet4 Jeom she barge. A .bushel measure is re .. quired ttrhe sent with each waggon, and th e purr chaser is entitled to require any one sack to be measured: if that be found deficient he may send for a land meter, and require the remainder to be measured in his presence.

The quantity, is again skreened through a skreen three-eighths of an inch wide, in order to separate the smallest parts, which are permitted to be exported coastwise at u duty of one shilling per imperial chaldron. Thet portion of the whole mass which passed through the first skreen, but did not the second, is not enti tled to any reduction of duty, and, though it is said to contain the finest parts of the coal, is nearly, if not altogether wasted. The coal is either put into waggons ut the pit's mouth, from whence it is eon veyed to smiths or spouts, and is directly put into the ships, or it is conveyed to .the ships in keels, %%; idlieirl r eg ulation ,with the wagons, are under the inspectio n 11j illation of t Commissionersi,:xchegeru. ciihe empo i we g r i t ti b ly y commissions from he taken on board is known by the measurement of. the waggons. In the River Wear the best coal is put into tub', in order as much as possible to prevent the breakage; eight tubs are in u keel, and each tub is lifted on board the vessel, so that the coals are as little broken as possible. When coal is loaded from smiths the breakage is prevented by lowering the waggon on the ship's deck. It is re vived by the Act of 9 Anne, c. 28, that the litters shall send u certificate to the Lord Maym's office; and by the Act of (i Geo.

This is from a statement made by Mr. Honig. From the amount or charges the Committee pro ceed to offer such remarks as have suggested them selves in the course of their inquiries, and to pro. pose such measures as they think will be produc tive of benefit to the public. The Committee is of opinion that the charges of the coal-merchant to the consumer might be much reduced, if the office of land-meter was abolished. After going into this branch of the subject at some length the Report thus concludes upon it :—On the whole, we believe that all attentive consideration of the evidence will lead the House to agree with the Committee in opinion, that the expence and inconvenience which are produced by the system of land-metage are not compensated by any security which it affords to the public. We believe that if coal were to be delivered by weight, and every facility were afforded to the purchaser for seeing the coal weighed, that the Public would be considerably benefited by the change of system. The Report complains ousels of the system of un loading the ships, and certainly with great reason 1 —" The allowance made by law to the whippers, amounting to 3s. for each score of 20 rhuldrens, being higher than the present rmultet rate of the wages of labour, much abuse bus at isen in the distri bution of the excess. It appears by the evidence of Griffiths, Levi, and ethers, that the undertakers,, who usually provide gangs of whippers for unload ing the vessels, connect themselves with publicans and shopkeepers, and compel the men whom they choose to employ to purchase liquor and goods of those persons upon very disadvantageous terms. Levi says, ' he is found in constant employ t l is public house.' When put on board to work the ship, the undertaker collects Vs, for the puhlieun. In addition to this, each man is forced to pay Qs. a day for gin or beer, equally whether he thinks it or not ; after these deductions, and taking it into ac count the days he is not employed, he can seldom carry home more than 16s. a week to his family. The witnesses coticur in stating, that in porta tvhieb are free from these regulation., flip discharge of the cargo is much more econonnually conducted, and your Committee have no hesitation IN recommend ing the repeal of this law, leaving the owners to provide their own means of unloading, the vessel. The total amount of the money received by the whippers in lit 29 was 10t *6l. 13 . 5." The emoluments awl duties of the shipsaleters old their assistants are next considered IssaThe total payments to these persons on 1,403,581 chuldrone imported in 7,02 j ships in the year 1829, were as follows 1-- ,, Meters, 33,090/. 19s. 4d.; meters' tnen, 11,9.511. 17s. As these payments appeared to be umitcessarily large, your Committee have considereil whether the ship as well as the latittgetera could not be altogether dispensed sNith i they are, how ever, of opinion, tilt as 2 iitllll of about 90,0001. is collected ennually by the City of London untie; vt...i.,tt trusts, the continuance of the tnee;s for that purpose may be desirable; 'lece,' 'song as they continue to be employed fo; Coe City of London your Committee are c,topinion that they should still be employed also lii useettainhig and charging the 1 Liingal duty. The Committee, however i ;triatigly iessommend an alteration in the ptewit artem, and some modifica tion oe tit ittetnaedt al the port dues. They reineik von the difference in the number of chaldrons of goals snipped mid that delivered, and fully cottatte in Dr. Mutton's statement:--" If the •,aaal • silys Dr. Hutton), measuring exar4 a rabic yard (nearly equal to five 11401 b.o hiokett into pieces of a mode., rate ‘4, it will inenwure seven bolls and a 14, it Woken very small it will measure *lin taolita . ," This is a matter of much ow; q),e/ importance, and the Committee, aftl3;,tlv , Uting to its effects, again proposes tykoi.av the aide Of csml by w e i g hs : ._ Vli s ereitfao part, of the trade, from its earliest stage to the lust sale to the consumer, which is sat a&cted by the inducement which thus ez:,i;its toincreese the quantity of coal by breolrjr,4 It.

Your Committee are so engthened in this opinion by a statement of Mr. Home, that the sy tem of selling by weight has of late years been be neficially adopted in Dublin; they are_ disposed therefore to recommend to the House ae adoption of this important change. The city of London is voids d, a 54 shown by Mr. Scott in his ex istenee, prescriptive right confirmed by Chaster and . Act ef Parliament, to 4d. per chuhlron on all coil me•sured, or Bd. per ton on all coal if weighed in the Port of Loudon :• nut of this fund is provided a payment r Id. per chaldren to the ship meterg, and the expense of the vats - nod other apparatus for meows ing, coals. The surplus of thi s f un d, amount i ng to about 16,000/. a year, is applied to the general purposes of the Corporation. In respect to this payment we recommend, with the consent of the Corporation of London, that whatever they. are now entitled tourer a chaldrou, should be collected on a ten in the pro. portion which the one may be found practically :to beer on the other; and we also recommemL for th, general accommodation of the trade, that the pay. meths now made at various places for 11,,illiage Groundage, Lord Mayoe's Permit, and Coal•metee's Office, should be consolidated with it, and a siugle charge be made per ton, according to some just pro portion. With respect- to the regulations of the market, the Comma; tee recammetol that all persona bona fide importing coal for their cosh use, should be exempted from its regulations. They think also, that persons should be permitted to sell coal on arty day, mei at any place they please,provided °lily that they make a return of the sale in the same rosin as if it was actually sold on the Coal Els:doAge. .other alterations are also suggested in the arrangements of this market. The Report then refers to the charge for freight, which, it remark, , , bus been reduced of bite years in a greater proportion than any other of the charges on coal :—There are several charges independent of those on coal %%birds fell upon the ship, and are paid out of the freight ; and it would appear that after these charges were deducted, there remained ()nit voyage froth the Tyne Ga. 3d. and from the Weer 6s. 3J. per c'uthlron to defray all the expencea of pilotage,' navigating, insurance, wear and tear, &e, It remains only (upon the question of price) fur the Committee to notice the price at which coal is sold on delivery to the ship. This uppears on coat of average quality in 1829, to have been about 14s. per Louden chaldron ; and it is certainly remnikehle that all the sixpences of raising from the pits to t b r actual delivery on board ship, should be covered with a profit by a p,ayma nt of 14s. per eitaldron ; and that the trans-shipment from port to port should ISt defrayed by 6s. 3d., whilst the expense of conveying the mine coal from the ship in the Tt . ver Thames to the consumer should actually mouton to l'111.41(1:. The Report also noticed the incrensed price of the coals at the port of shipment, wisel t it ettsibetes, in some measure, to time increase of the capital m isstated, and to the increase in the consumption. • In 1780, there were imported into London 657,302 chaldrons ; in 1790, 742,937 eh:thirties; in 1801, 830,071 chaldrons; in 1811, 1,096,872 eltahlrons and in 1828, 1,4.76,063 ebahlrow, The compact between certain coal-awners for regulatisig the mar . ket is then remedied upon Connoittee cif t h e House of Commons which tout in 1800 were is duced to express " their apprehernion, that is power arising from mutual compact, which enables the cool owners to provide its general far the interest of the collieries, may at any time enable then' to enhance the price of an article of such necessity, to the op pression amid danger of the public?! Rut in deciding on time course which it is now wise to pursue with respect to this compact, your Committee are 'ln clined to believe that the trade had better be left to the controul of that competition tvhich appears rd. ready to have stetted it; and ;is long toll's districts we have named are not " included the egidatiost the ke 'e t torfutslti Bril l p i l ic . y t t 1104; ) ca t p h ll t e 'fr u c ;' 't I t io lP r c d " .: big cannot fail to be felt, n i g e4 S r the ol ) i tl n to e ic, c arriage a l terat io ns em tx .e e i l4 01 0: 1 1+:1 ttitiit:fleeoera.f. following g r a f t I p, e t i rdnun:rgr:,tir ntrp:rreEll.tierileletli; r inirig the mi s er for their uppointment empowered them to examine into and report out the policy of continuing in this part of the knagdoth the Government Duties of 6s, per olsisklron on coal, and of is, per ehuAdron oat srtssil coal carried coastwise, have forborne to pro secstte to any extent such ten inquiry t though from, many farts hearing on this branch a the subject, awl stated Incidentally by some of the witnessos s they are strongly impressed with she expediency, both na regards the general preoperity of the esoutory, first that of its shippis.re formats in partiettiar, of remots. ing all dories on coal consumed in this kingdom, whestever financial arrangements can be made for eifeeting such removal with smithy to the public revenue?'
