LUXFORD V. LARGE. Mr. LAW stated that this was an action brought to re. cover compensation in damages for the swamping of the plaintiff's boat, owing to the swell in the river occasioned by the Albion steam-boat, of which the defendant was master. The plaintiff was employed in October, 1831, in carrying corn from a ship moored off the Tower in a boat to Greenwich. The boat was a tide boat, and fully com• potent to carry the corn. When the plaintiff, with his leaded boat, was near the Horseferry-stairs, Rotherhithe, the Essex and the Yorkshireman steam-boats passed him without doing him any injury, but the Albion came up after them, at the rate of 11 or 12 miles an hour, and occasioned such a swell that the boat was upset. and the plaintiff and the corn-sacka were thrown into the river, and the plaintiff would have been ,drowned if he bad not I,een immediately picked up by another waterman. The plaintiff had 13.-en ill for a week in consequence of this ac cident, and applied to the defendant to make him some compensation, but the defendant refused. It would be proved that the Albino had been hailed in time, but the defendant was too negligent to take notice of it.

In this document, Governor Howard condemns une quivocally the conduct of the South Carolinians. 'We extract the following passage, having reference to the subject : " Whilst this subject presses upon my mind, I would call your attentio❑ to the accompanying ordinance of the Convention of South Carolina, transmitted to this depart. ment by that body, with a request that it may be laid be. fore you. In noticing this extraordinary document, I would beg leave to state, that nothing but a solemn con viction of duty would induce any remarks from me, in the hope that reflection amongst this deluded people will create a re-action, and induce them to a different course; yet having been myself taught not to shrink from responsibi lity in the expression of opinions, when such opinions seem to be called for, I submit my views upon the subject. The doctrines of South Carolina, I conscientiously believe, will be rejected by the unanimous voice of the people of Maryland. The doctrine of nullification, 1 hold to be per fectly untenable. If a State has the right to nullify the acts of the General Government, each citizen of a State has the same right to nullify the acts of a State—such a doc • trine would meet with universal reprobation ; yet such a result would only be carrying out, in extenso, the doc trine advanced by South Carolina. "Upon the subject of disunion, I would speak in still stronger language. Such a topic, a few years back, would have been received everywhere with execration ; it is here still considered as sacrilege—a severance of the union of soul and body, and only to be thought of by desperate men or unfortunate maniacs. I would appeal to the gallant Carolinians and point them to the battle fields, upon their soil, where the toil of the patriots of '76 was endured, where heroic deeds were performed, and where the best blood of the country was spilt to purchase that Indepen dence and that Union which is now spoken of so lightly.' 1 would then ask them, what will the feelings of that heroic individual be, who flew to aid us, from a foreign land, in the days of our adversity, and first put his foot upon the soil of Carolina, when he shall hear that the beautiful fabric of liberty, which he aided in erecting, is about to be torn down, and the fond hope that a people can govern themselves, shall be dispelled. That a merci ful Providence may prevent such a consequence, and that the people of Carolina may retrace their steps, should be the earnest prayer of every good citizen of this yet happy and now widely extended Union." If reliance may be placed on the Washington cor respondent of the New York Advocate, the belief is prevalent there that all will yet be peaceably ar ranged. We give the following extract : _ " FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. ' WASHINGTON, DEC. 29 (SATURDAY EVENING.) — The various matters of political interest remain without any change since my letter of Thursday evening. We have no later news, either by private or other sources, from the Empire of South Carolina. As regards the in. terference of the Old Dominion' as mediator between the high contending Powers, a position which she vauntingly enutigh assumes to herself, things, for the present, are at a stand. Intelligence has just reached us that the Legisla ture have postponed the consideration of the report of the Committee of 21, which was the order of the day for Thursday last, till next Monday, in consequence of the ab sence of the Chairman. One by one, the Legislatures of the various States South of the Potomac, to say nothing of Pennsylvania, have denounced nullification as a monstrous heresy, and the attitude, bearing, and ulterior views of South Carolina, as a thing not to be tolerated. And, not withstanding the bitter revrlings, the incendiary language, and the furious denunciations of the leading nullifiers and demagogues on the receipt of the President's proclama tion ; notwithstanding the General Assembly, which have now adjourned, prior to their adjournment, made a regular appropriation towards the munitions of war,' and the putting the citadel and arsenal in Charleston in effective' order, still frotn this expression of those States from whom particularly they expected sympathy at the least, if not to come over to their side, and the manifest and avowed determination on all bands to crush the monster disunion, and to preserve the integrity of all the States, it is my belief, that from these causes, and thus left to stand alone, with more than a third of her own popula tion opposed to her wild schemes, South Carolina will yet pause in her mad career in time, and that our former tyrannical mistress will be disappointed now and for ages in casting on us the opprobrium that our ex periment' (so called) has failed, and chat man is incapable of self-government. Such is the prevailing sentiment here. Since the failure of Mr. Adams's resolution, the vote on which was taken without a word of remark, the topic has not been broached in either House of Congress." The following extract from the Message of Go vernor Marcy to the Legislature of New York is strongly condemnatory of the Carolinians : " I perform an unpleasant duty in laying before you, at the request of the Governor of South Carolina, the pro ceedings of a recent Convention of the people of that State. In expressing my unequivocal disapprobation of those pro , ceedings, and my deep regret that a State which, in all past time, has so nobly performed her duty to the confe deracy of which she is a member, should thus attempt to exonerate her citizens from the operation of the laws of the United States, I am persuaded I do but speak the uni versal sentiment of the people of this State. Fur the first time in the history of this Republic, a claim has been set up, on the justly cherished ground of State Rights, which, if well founded, belongs equally to all the members of the Union, but which is repudiated by all, and by none more earnestly than by those members who, in respect to the evils complained of, and for the redress of which the claim in question has been asserted, stand in precisely the same situation with the State of South Carolina. Whatever, therefore, may be the nature and extent of the alleged grievances, 1 do not go too far, I trust, in assuming that the remedy to which our fellow-citizens of South Carolina have resorted, and on the strength of which they are ap parently preparing for themselves the most fearful of re sponsibilities, is not merely unauthorized by the Constitu tion of the United States, but fatally repugnant to all the objects for which it was framed. Let their doctrine be once established, and the union of the States is destroyed for ever. " From a state of things so novel in its character and so ruinous in its tendencies, duties of the highest impor tance, increasing in interest and delicacy, according to the course of event., may devolve on us as one of the Mem bets of the sacred Union of these States. Whatever em barrassments may arise, I feel confident that the people and Government of the State will support the Executive of the United States in all measures which are proper, and may be necessary for the preservation of the Union and for the due administration of the laws, and will faithfully perform all their duties resulting from our national compact. " But I should be unmindful of the just and generous character of our constituents, if, in expressing what I be lieve to be their sentiments, I did not at the same time disclaim for New York all desire to aggrandize herself at the expense of her sister States, or to pervert to local pur poses a system of Government intended for the common benefit of all. She cherishes the Union of these States. She knows what it cost. She estimates as highly as any other member its value, both on account of the benefits it confers and the evils it averts ; and it is not to be doubted that she would make any sacrifice which would be consi dered reasonable to preserve it. Though its destruction would not certainly be more calamitous to her than to others, yet none will adhere to it longer, or exceed her in great and generous efforts to sustain it. Without it she might be proQperous ; but her highest pros perity would be embittered by regrets on account of the blessings lost to herself, her associates, and to the world ; with it, there is no policy that would be long pursued by a people so virtuous and enlightened as those of the United States, under which she could fail to be an important and flourishing commonwealth. If, therefore, the operation of existing laws be adverse to these views, I am persuaded New York will consent to such a modification of them as will remove all just ground of complaint, and afford substantial relief to every real grievance." An Act has been passed by the Legislature of South Carolina to give effect to nullification, in as far as regards duties on goods. We conclude our extracts with the following let ter from Charleston " The following is an extract of a private letter from Charleston (S. C.), to a gentleman in Gettysburg, Pa : " Party excitement is here very great, We are all There is no part of our Legislative Govern ment which calls more loudly for Reform tha❑ the regulations of the House of Commons —we mean those authorizing the enormous fees on private Bills, and the ridiculous forms of print ing the same Bills over and over again, if a single word or even a letter is misplaced, & c . &c. 'The expenses of getting a private Bill through the House, even if unopposed, are said to amount to 7001., all of which is swallote4 up in fees by the various servants of the Hou beginning at the Chief Clerk and ending-at the Door-keepers.—(One of the door-keeper's places is said to be worth 1,2001. per annum.) Is not this an absolute denial of justice ? This it is which explains the fact of many of the clerks, who are placed in the Red Book at salaries of from 2 to 5 or 6001. per annum, living at the rate of as many thousands—literally for doing nothing ; for we will venture to assert, that a banker's or a City merchant's clerk does more of actual work in a week than they do in an entire session. Mr. Cobbett has pledged himself to cleanse this Augean stable—at least, which is much the same thing, we hope, now—to ex pose its impurities to the House and the coun try ; and he cannot employ himself in a more useful work.—The News. The Parliament—a Reformed Parliament has at length met, and the most anxious expectations of the people of the United Kingdom are pointed towards it with almost breathless anxiety to behold the first fruits of the Reform Bill. The people, who have been for a long series of years goaded and oppressed by the tyrannical acts of a boroughmongering faction, are now freed from a yoke that has so long galled their neck ; they have already shaken off their shackles, and felt that they possessed a power which, if rightly wielded—if wielded as it has been since the Wellington reign, by the exercise of an united and firm determination to recover their lost rights, can never be again subdued into bondage. To those who have been their instruments in obtaining for them the Re form Bill (imperfect in some instances though it be) they feel grateful, and to those men they now look forward for the accomplishment of the advantages that have been promised. When the people were told by their enemies that the Bill would not brine them any advantage, but that it would destroy the institutions of the country, Ministers prevented the deception by pointing out to the people that of which they were assured—that the Bill would renovate, not destroy ; that it would rebuild and keep in repair those valuable institutions which had either been destroyed, or had fallen into decay by the neglect and reckless parsimony of their former keepers—that it would bring about a reduction of the national expenditure, and a consequent reduction of taxation—that it would enable the poor man to live by the sweat of his brow, without being a pauper in the workhouse—that it would inflict upon the wealthy their due proportion of the taxes, which had hitherto been nearly all borne by the middling and lower classes—that it would loosen the chains of their unhappy brethren, the slaves of the Vest Indies—that it would produce cheap bread, cheap tea, and a great reduction in a ll articles of consumption—that it would reduce our army and navy to a proper footing, and make merit and not money or connexions the stepping stone of preferment in those as in all branches connected in any way with the Go vernment; and that it would, in short, be the means of introducing Legislators who were de sirous and determined to watch over the true interests of the country, and not permit those interests to be swamped in the desire for office, to the utter neglect and ruin of this great king dom. The people now call on the Ministers to perform the promises which they had held out, and not to shrink from the adoption of such measures as may tend to give general satisfac tion, by restoring the country to a state of peace, happiness, and prosperity.—Merle's Weekly Register. THE PARLIAMENT AND THE TAXES.-- The care of the public purse is the chief and peculiar duty of the Commons' House of Par liament. In the other provinces of legislation, the other branch of the Legislature is coequal ; in all that concerns the ways and means, the people's representatives are originative and su preme. The Lords may modify any other measure ; a Money Bill must pass unaltered. In matters affecting the pocket, the Lower House of Parliament is all in all. Its origin and its late renovation were both connected with the supplies. The embarrassments of the Crown created—the distress of the people reformed the Commons. By a singularity which sometimes happens, the specific business, the constitutional function of the first Reformed tiouse of Com mons is in accordance with the loudly expressed demands of its constituents and the urgent necessities of the country. If the whole of our fiscal system be not speedily subjected to an entire revisal, not only will the Commons neglect their duty, but they will neglect their first and peculiar duty. They will leave that undone which no other power can do. To lend what assistance we may in this great work, is the object of the exposition we com mence in the present number. The first section embraces the great mass of the subject ; and, besides endeavouring to give a general account of the questions connected with the public in come, aims at comprising in a few pages of easy reference, the practically useful portion of many volumes—at present the applicable principles of the political economists from Adam Smith downwards, combined with the facts and figures of the finance accounts. In discussing the ab stract—in explaining the obscure—in arranging the scattered and confused—a dryness, perhaps somewhat objectionable in a weekly journal, may be pardoned, both on account of the nature of £1,750,000 But we shall have more to do with the budget by and by.—Spectator. MR. O'CONNELL AND THE MINISTRY.— A report that Mr. O'Connell is about to join the Grey Administration has been bandied about ;luring the past week. The Ministerial journals deny, hand the Standard asserts, its truth. We ear ; however, that this news is too good to be 'fine. We fear that personal feelings of jealousy and dislike have too much influence in the minds of some of our rulers, to suffer them to use the best means of governing Ireland like a civilized nation. Yet it is the duty of men who have incurred the responsibility, and reap the honour and advantage of controlling our na tional councils, to disregard all personal preju dice whatsoever, and to aim steadily at the great object of governing the land upon rational and statesmanlike principles. It is impossible not to see that one of the greatest political blunders in the government of Ireland has been t ex clusion of Mr. O'Connell from office. He is the only man who has the power to render the people of that country in some degree satisfied with the intentions at least of the Ministry to wards them. Mr. O'Connell is conscious of his power. He knows well that he is the foremost man of his native country. He has talents, energy, and information, that place him far above all his competitors. He is, in point of fact, the ruler of Ireland : why, then, not make him so legally ? Why not attempt to rule Ireland through his agency, and make her pacification the source of honour and emolument to him ? The Ministry, no doubt, have been deluded by the expectation that he would soon break down. The last elections, it was supposed, would anni hilate his influence. It was even confidently stated that his own return to the new Parliament was in jeopardy; and songs of triumph resounded from the Ministerial and Orange quarters at the anticipated defeat of the unruly Dictator. This delusion appears to have been kept up to the very day of election ; for ail return of the Con servative and castle candidates was even then announced to be certain. But the result of the contest for Dublin, and the return in various ports of the country of twice as many of his nominees as ever the most powerful borough monger pushed into the House under the old system, must at last have convinced even the presumptuous and inexperienced Mr. Stanley, that he and his colleagues are fighting an un equal and losing battle. The real state of the question with regard to the government of Ire land is simply this. If the Ministry se cure the co-operation of Mr. O'Connell, the people will place confidence in their good in tentions, and patiently wait for the promised measures of relief and amelioration. If, on the contrary, they still see their idol shut out from the temple of power, they will not credit the oracle nor obey the commands of its priests, though they spoke with the tongues of angels. The Times sneers at the idea of any union being formed between the Rulers of England and the Agitator of Ireland. They treat the question as a personal one between Mr. O'Connell and Earl Grey. But it ought not to be considered in that light. The question for the Premier to answer is, who would be my most able coadjutor in the government of Ireland ? If an arrange ment can be made with this person, whoever he may be, is it statesmanlike, or justifiable, to allow personal pique to prevail over my sense of duty ?—Spectator. This was an action against the acceptor of a bill of ex change for 3001. The drawer of the bill, it appeared, who is an attorney and a relation of the defendant, having occasion to raise a sum of 1,200/. in 1829, obtained ac commodation bills to that amount from the defendant. He rook one of them, the bill in question, to the plaintiff, a grocer in James -street, Bedford-row, whe had previously discounted paper for him, and to whom he then owed about 2701., to have it discounted. The plaintiff said hr could not get it discounted, as it was not mule payable at a banker's, but he would send it to his own bankers, and see what could be done with it. Before the bill fell due the drawer requested the defendant to prevent his bankers from presenting it for payment for fear the defendant should be displeased and refuse to give him the accommo dation of his name again. The bill was accordingly not presented, but remained in the plaintiff's possession as a security for the debt of 2701. The question now was, whether the drawer lodged the bill with the plaintiff as such security before or after the maturity of the bill. The Jury returned a vet dict for the plaintiff—Damage s 3001. Mr. Sergeant JONES submitted to his Lordship that the plaintiff could only take a verdict for the 270/. for which the bill had bee■ lodged as security. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW, on the other hand, contended that he was entitled to recover the amount of the bill, and 50/. interest. After some discussion on this point, his Lordship allowed the plaintiff to take a verdict for 2701. and interest, making together 3151., giving the defendant leave to move the Court above to reduce the damages to 2701. HOLLOWAY V. SPAIN. This was an action brought by a servant girl against the defendant, a farmer living near Canterbury, to recover between 2/. and 3/. for wages. The defence was that the plaintiff, after repeated warnings not to stay out later than 9 o'clock at night, whenever she get a holyday, had re mained out all night until half-past 5 o'clock in the morning, on which the defendant refused to take her hack. The ex cuse given by the defendant for her absence was, that she had been taken ill at the house of a man named West (whose son was at that time keeping company with her), and was thereby prevented from returning home in proper time. The mother would not swear that the plaintiff, who is unmarried, was not now in the family way. For the defendant, a fellow servant of the plaintiff was called, who had repeatedly heard the plaintiff warned by bar master and mistress, when she stayed out after 9 o'clock ; notwithstanding which, on the night in question she did not return at all until next morning. At half. past 5 o'clock, she came in at the back door, and told wit ness the reason she had not come borne the night before was because when she went to West's house she found no body below stairs, so she went up to Mrs. West's bed room, and there saw a little old man in bed, who looked so ugly that he frightened her into fits.—(Laughter.) Upon witness observing that had she had fits she would not have been able to walk home at that hour of the morn ing, the plaintiff replied that if she had not bad fits she must have fainted, because she felt so funny.—(Laughter.) The Learned Counsel on both sides having addressed the Jury, they returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 2. KERR V. MACQUEEN. This was an action to recover a compensation in da. tnages for the non-performance of an agreement. The plaintiff, whose case was conducted by Mr. R. V. Ricis. ARDS and Mr. MARTIN, was a firmer or reeve in East Lothian, in Scotlind ; and the defendant, Thomas Porter Ai icqueen, who was defended by Sergeant COLERIDGE and Mr. Hoccuis, was Member for the county of Bedford. The defendant was owner of an estate in New South Wales, consisting of several thousand acres, and, being very much dissatisfied with the manner in which it was managed, he consulted his fri-nd Mr. Stuart Donaldson, who advised him to procure an active, intelligent young man from one of the farming counties in Scotland to go over to New South Wales, and take the management of the defendant's property there, and he mentioned the plaintiff as a proper person to be so engaged. The de fendant approved of the advice, and the plaintiff returned to Scotland, relinquished his situation there, which was worth 1001. a year, declined taking another situation of the same value ; but made his arrangements for his voyage and returned to London in April, 1831. The plaintiff, how ever, at this time had altered his mind, and the defendant offered terms of compromise, with which the p►aintiff was dissatisfied, as he had reason to be, considering the situa tion he had given up. Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel submitted that the plaintiff was entitled to considerable damages. Mr. Stuart Donaldson proved the substance of the Counsel's statement. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301. PROPHECY.—Persons who have seen the part which the Globe has lately taken -against the b a llot, will be amused with the following ex tract from that consistent paper of a date so re cent as May, 1831, in comment on Lord Chandos's clause : " The majority of tenants from year to year, of large farms, we believe to be independent, and the admission to those who are not independent to the franchise would lead to the speedy introduction of the ballot, more infallibly than any other expedient that could be devised—and the ballot would make them independent also." Thus, the efficiency of the ballot was in 1831 assumed by the Globe, which continues prophe tically : _ _ HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, FEB. t " There would be on the very first struggle many in stances of tenants voting in opposition to the wisher of their landlords—and many instances of harsh notices to quit consequent on these votes. Then would come such a demand for the ballot. as the Parliament, if it were disposed, could not resist." _ - THE ANDROMEDA. The KING'S ADVOCATE, with whom were Dr. PHILLI MORE, and Mr. BETHELL, on the part of the appellants, stated that this was an appeal of vital importance, not only to the highly meritorious class of individuals who were the appellants, but also to the public in general, whose lives or properties might be endangered by ship wreck. It was an appeal against a sentence of the Court of Admiralty, which not only deprived the appellants, who were the masters and crews of several Kentish smacks, of al remuneration for services by themselves and •esiela, but affixed the stigma of crime upon them. The Learned Advocate detailed, that in the Court below, Pearson, as proctor for the claimants, alleged that a large ship, called the Andromeda, having, through mismanagement, got upon the Shingles-sand, near Margate, his parties, by their skill and labour, succeeded in getting her off into a place of safety, and were therefore entitled to a compensation as salvors, while French, as proctor for the owners of the ship, contended that no real services had been rendered by the alleged salvors, but that they had fraudulently endea• voured to keep the ship on the sand instead of getting her off, and had thereby put his parties to great expense, and were consequently entitled to nothing; that when the case canoe on in the Court of Admiralty, the Judge being assisted b) two Trinity Masters, whose opinions were i(iverse to the claims of the salvors, pronounced sentence against them, and the Learned Advocate now at great length insisted on the injustice of such sentence. Mr. BETHELL urged that the sentence must be reversed, unless the appellants were believed to have been guilty of an offence little short of piracy. . - However false the Globe may be as a politi cian, we believe it in this instance to have been a true p; ophet. We have at hand many other specimens of its past opinions curiously opposite to its present doctrines; but it is in the nature of things that the Globe should turn round, as we remarked some years ago when it quarrelled with us about the character of Peel, which it loved for an affinity to its own slippery ways.— Examiner. The M arqu i s o f C ONYNGHAM , who, i t i s understood will move the Address to his :MAJESTY to morrow in the House of Lords, will make his maiden speech on the occasion. As Earl of MOUNTCHARLES, and Member for the county of Donegal, he voted in favour of the first Reform Bill, on which measure his father, the late Marquis, did not manifest his opinion, the declining state of his health having prevented him from taking the oaths and his seat in the House of Lords.

The pleasantry exhibited in the rogue's countenance, on delivering his impartial plea, wa s suddenly changed, on being told by the Chairman that it would not avail him to plead thus, " He must say guilty of the crime charged, or not guilty."—" Why, I'se guilty, then," uttered infix, and could not be pre vailed on to withdraw his confession. He was sentenced to be imprisoned six months, and kept to bard labour. Dr. DODSON and Dr. J. AnnArsts, on the part of the respondents, at considerable length supported the opinions given by the Trinity Masters. The Juno ES, after consulting for some time, directed that Mes-rs. Williams and Bethell, the appellants' soli citors, should be required to point out such masters of smacks as were themselves also the owners of them, in order that the Court might the better assess a compensa tion, which being done, the delegates pronounced their judgment, reversing the sentence of the Court of Admi ralty, and awarding 1,0001. to the appellants, together with the costs and expenses of both the appeal and suit blow. O L l ) (Tr eiri. BANKRUPTCY CO Fn. -s\ .;I\yAN A bankrupt named Henry Sa *ha carried on the "\ business of a cheesenaonger at rOxford-tt4et, histi ."11 , 11 . 1 1n0v during the last week b e en exaMine k"-"several times (' for having disposed of his property to th;Nnjury of his cr4 T f '" Itn ditors. The bankrupt did not surr en d er t ill l ast F r ia which was the day fixed for his last examination. It appears that the bankrupt, after having obtained goods for his shop to a very considerable amount, some expensive furniture, and various articles of plate. upon a promise that be would pay for them on delivery, or at very short dates, disposed of his house and business to a person named Gadsden without the knowledge of his creditors, and suddenly quitted this country for France, accompanied by his wife, where he remained till a short time since. On appearing before Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE he re quested time to prepare a statement of his affairs. but Mr. Hutchison, the solicitor for the fiat and the ere ditors, opposed the application, and the Commissioner having refused to comply with the bankrupt's request, he was examined. He stated that he had known Gadsden from his infancy. He left the house in Oxford street on the morning of Sunday, the 25th of November last, and went to "'ranee, accompanied by his wife. His wife's mother is a grocer in Oxford -street. He had failed in business before, and compromised with his credi•ors, by paying them 6s. Sd. in the pound. He had between 3001. and 4001. when he started fur Paris, on the 24th of No vember, the whole of which he had spent in travelling in England and France. He frequented the gaming tables at Paris, and lost about 601. at rouge-et-noir, ecorte, whist, roulette, cribbage, piquet, and pigeon-shooting. The bankrupt was desired to give some further explana tion of the manner in which he had disposed of the 300/. or 4001, and he replied, " I paid for learning the French language—l mean for imposition, 125/., and the re mainder I expended in eating and drinking, cab-hire, hort4-hire, and living, and clothes for myself and wife." CommisstoNEß—What do you mean by the expression " for imposition 1251. ?" Bankrupt—lt is generally supposed, and no doubt is a well.known fact, that Englishmen going to France, and who are not acquainted with the language and customs of the country, pay double and treble for pleasure, and every thing that is necessary for comfort and convenience. I mean, also, that the ways of the country are very expen sive, and I haven() other explanation to give. The COMMISSIONER. feeling dissatisfied with the account given by the bankrupt, the case was on Friday last re ferred to a Subdivision Court, consisting of Commis sioners Merivale, Holroyd, and Fonblanque, who made an order for the bankrupt's committal to Newgate, there to r-main till he gives full and true answers to the questions put to him. COURT OF EXCISE, FEB. 2. THE KING V. MICHAEL REARDON. The defendant was charged upon an Excise information with unlawfully carrying on an illicit distillery by means of private stills for the manufacture of spirits. The COURT adjudged that the stills and goods seized ghould be condemned to the use of the Crown, an i amerced the defendant in the full penalty of 1001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HANSI ON-11 0 USE. - --- ESCAPE OF SOLOIIONS TILE RECEIVER 01' STOLEN GOODS.-111r. Nobler, jun., applied to the Lour) MAvoit br the restitution of some property belonging to Ben j min Solomons, unJer the following circumstances Mr. Cope, the Marshal, having received intelligence that a great deal of stolen property was concealed on the premises of Benjamin So'omons, in Petticoat-square, Petticoat-lane, procured a search warrant, and took with him Daniel Forrester, one of the most efficient officers of the City, and between three and four o'clock on Thursday, entered the suspected premises. The moment Solomon, saw them he started off, but was caught in the arms of Forres ,er. He, however, slipped out of his coat, and contrived to escape at the hack door. Forrester called out to Mr. Cope to secure the coat above all thing, as from the ii , j o ld tt o s f of M it,n r. Sulm o s douh o te o x n is s nd te a das ot t her ot s of theheimporftaannieileyotfo the contents of the pockets. Forrester, perceiving that Mrs. Solomon, in a great hurry broke a string which was round her neck, made a snatch at a watch which was at the end of it; but the lady immediately dashed her hand through the window, and the watch was as quickly received by a hand on the outside. Mr. Cope, with great 'lifficulty, contrived to keep possession of the coat. A little girl had wrapped herself round and round in it so completely, that Forrester was obliged to rap her hard upon the knuckles. Several attempts were made by So lomons' family to get the coat piecemeal; but the officers, tlthough unassisted, and amidst a crowd of adversaries, succeeded in carrying it off. In the pockets Mr. Cope f , und forty-four sovereigns, four five pound notes of the Bank of England, and a 501. note, which had been stolen .ut of the iron safe of a chytnist who resides in Hounds_ ditch. Mr. nobler, jun., stated, that as the sovereign• which had been found in thecoat of Solomons, could not be claimed I>y any body who had been plundered, the Lord Mayor would be justified in restoring them to Mrs. Solomon,. The Loan 'MAYOR said, that if Mr. Solomon, wanted the sovereigns, the best thing he could do, was to apply in person at the Justice•room for them, and no doubt his claim would be taken into very serious considera tion.—(A laugh.) Mr. Ilobler, the Chief Clerk, observed, that although the warrant upon which the house had been entered might not have included any thing but the articles of jewellery is the object of search, the Lord Mayor was authorized to detain the cash, on the suspicion that it might be the pro luce of the stolen property. The Loan MAYOR said, that he would rather get hold of one culprit like Solomons, than a hundred of the com mon pickpockets, and other thieves, who are made and encouraged by the facilities of disposing of plunder. It was stated to his Lordship that, in all probability, Solomons would never be retaken. It had been ascer t nned that that receiver had determined to set off in the spring for Van Diemen's Land, where several of his family ,vere in affluence derived from their great success in the encouragement of housebreakers. The LORD MAYOR Sincerely hoped that Benjamin So lomons would not escape tie pursuit of justice, and ,x -pressed the utmost confidence in the exertions of Mr. Cope and Daniel and John Forrester. As Solomons has a great ......d of money, no expec tations are formed of the capture of no dexterous and re solute a person, who has the character of being more clever at concealing " swag,'' even than his brother Ikey, whose case a few years ago excited so much curiosity. The property which Mr. Cope and Daniel Forrester went to look for was that of Mr. Wheeler, of Bartlett's buildings, consisting of chronometers and articles of jewel lery, which had been stolen a short time ago, to the value of above 1,0001., under circumstances of rather an extra ordinary kind. Mr. Wheeler had in his employment a person in whom he had reposed great confidence, and whose integrity, we are given to understand, he bas no reason to question. This servant had the care of the h-,use, and he happened to have a relative, a young lad, who lived with him, and with whom a gang of thieves became acquainted, through means of a boy of his own age. The decoy, by representing to the young fellow the riches which would come to him in the event of accomplishing a robbery of the premises, prevailed upon hint to let in the gang while his relation was asleep. A proposal hail been made to him to adtninister a dose to Mr. Wheeler's confidential servant, to set that person asleep ; but the lad, apprehensive that the dose which his new acquaintanc e wished him to apply would cause too long a sleep, refuse st to adopt such means. Sir John Ladd the foreman of Mr. Ganthony, the chronometer-maker, of C:ieapside, was brought up for final examination, charged with havii.g robbed his master of a number of gold and silver watches, which he had pawned at the shops of a great number of pawnbrokers. Evidence was given of a great variety of cases, and the Lord Mayor fully committed him for trial.
